Mind over Matter

So what’s happening… I believe I mentioned that I am starting an Italian course at the end of April right? If not: Hey guys I am starting an Italian course at the end of April 🙂 I’ve been wanting to learn Italian for a really long time. So I have decided to just go for it. Seeing that I wanted to do a course anyway. So I will do the first beginners module and then decide if it’s for me and if I like it and go ahead to the next module. Will be fun 🙂

Even better news are that I am going to Tuscany in August!!! Woohooo!!! Again I’ve been wanting to go to Florence for a very very very long time… over ten years now I am sure. So I have decided to just go for it. So I looked at websites for a while to find something that suits and saw this tour to Tuscany. I know August will be very very hot and full of tourists but it’s really the best time for me to go so I stopped my doubting and challenging and just booked it! So I am going on the 12th of August for one week. It’s an escorted tour which suits me fine cos I don’t need to worry about how to get somewhere from the airport and how to get to places and not speaking the language and so on and so on. I haven’t been on holidays in five years so it’s just time now for me to get my ass up and go. I just thought to myself: If no one is going to show you the world Nadine just show it to yourself.” So I fought my fears and self doubt and just went for it you know?! 🙂
Also I am trying to change my life. I am trying to change the way I think and talk. I am trying to abandon any negative thoughts and negative vocabulary. I have stumbled about this movie… documentary… whatever you want to call it cos the title of it sorta caught my attention “You can heal your life”… it’s by Louise L Hay and it’s all about loving yourself and thinking positively. People have been trying to pass on the same message to me soooo many times… that I create my own suffering and I can change whenever I want and so on… but for some reason that never really reached me you know? So for some reason now it did… and I am actively thinking much more positive and phrasing things differently. Starting with really small things like not saying “that’s weird” or “that’s odd” but rather saying “that’s different” or looking out the window and seeing rain and now thinking “it’s a horrible day” but rather “it’s a wet day” 🙂 Cos if you think about it that’s all it is… 🙂
So yes… I have ordered Louise’s book and am reading it in little chunks and mainly doing a lot of positive thinking and I literally feel much better so when people ask me how I am these days I say: “I am great thanks” and give them a big smile… this might sound very silly to you but really I have never done this in my life… so it’s a big step to me… and I realise that I really do feel good or even great… the power of the mind truly is amazing! 🙂
