I had a lot of trouble going to sleep last night. I was worried about getting up early for the apartments yard sale. We brought two van loads of stuff to sell at the yard sale and had it all ready to go. I couldn’t sleep and then I had two different nightmares. I woke up as I was being attacked and was in a puddle of sweat. I don’t get nightmares like that often.
I woke up and we gathered everything in front of the apartment office for the yard sale. It started out great, my wife and kids were all tired but in good spirits. A couple hours later it was overcast and grey clouds poured down. We put half our stuff into the van wet and the other half under the awning in-front of the office. We don’t like to sell things and prefer giving them away but storage has gotten pretty crowded. It was a nice community and family bonding experience we thought. I felt bad for my wife and daughters. Everything was going good and we all worked so hard to get everything setup. I thought about the struggles we have endured together in the past. Now afterwards, like months or years, it was memorable and we were stronger for it. Then I thought about Taylor’s mini reading this morning.
It helped me really reflect on how much I’ve been through on my path. It really helped me to feel empowered and remember to ask how this is happening for me. What can I do to handle this situation in a beneficial manner. I forgot to mention 0% chance of rain and this stuff poured down for like 30 minutes. It continued raining for another 20 minutes or so then was gone.
Anyway, everyone involved in the yard sale decided to do it again next Saturday. We can get some more stuff out of storage since we will have a little more time to plan what can be added. It allowed us the extra time to get the things we needed for dinner and family games tonight. We also were able to rest up since all of us were sleep deprived.
I really felt like I was stepping into my power as a creator. Maybe not manifest the day I wanted but the ability to pivot and navigate the day. Resulting in a better outcome and the ability to see a little clearer what I want to create. Little things but great lessons, insight, and peace of mind.
Also, no YouTube shorts tonight. I get on to find nighttime programming and stuff for the ol’ subconscious. If I’m not careful I get stuck in mindless scrolling of YouTube shorts. I like it but I have to be careful to manage. That’s why I stay of TikTok. I used to not want to commit to a 10-20 minute video so I’d TikTok and lose 2-3 hours. So I’m doing better at discipline 😜
