uncovering ME : rediscovery …

I have started a 52 week course with Daily OM called A Year of Writing to Uncover the Authentic Self and I hope you will join me by reading the posts that are born from this course.

They can be found under the mind * body * soul category as a subcategory entitled ‘uncovering ME …’.

I have wanted to write my own story for such a long time and I have never done it. The reason for this I am sure will be discovered and discussed through the 52 posts to follow.

So please join me …

. . . uncovering ME . . .
. . .  rediscovery  . . .

introduction …

I will be using this space to free write and post my unedited thoughts, words, and scribbles. So, I am sure there may be errors that appear in the text. I do not need you to tell me about these errors as this will all be part of the process and I hope you can look past this.

rediscovery …

How much time do you spend reminiscing about “the good old days?” Thoughts of the past can bring us pleasure — remembering the fun times, or reliving a “once in a lifetime” experience, really relishing in the joy, excitement, or contentment the activity or event gifted us.

…

As you go through the prompts this week, search for the moments that made you feel this way, and once you’re done, figure out a way to recreate the activity or find an event that could make you feel that way again. For example, if you had an amazing experience with friends at a concert, check out some of the live entertainment in your area, or if you had a once in a lifetime trip that you loved perhaps it’s time to start planning another. Let the dreaming begin!
