When Do YOU Disappear?

March 30, 2015 · In: Happiness, Uncategorized

Avarcas USABlueberry Date ShakeColorful ChairsAm I the only one who completely goes into another world sometimes? Ok, surely not but when I get into “picture taking mode” as my husband calls it, I disappear. It kinds makes him crazy. AH! Sorry!

I get this glazed over look and I go into “A Beautiful Mind” in my head. The world becomes head shot backgrounds and geometric blocks of color. 

It is totally my happy place!!!! I took these on a smoothie/window shopping/location scouting walk this weekend. OOOHHH that blueberry date shake was good.

Where are other people escaping to?????

    Books. Books are my main escape. Nothing better than some quiet time with a book and a big cup of Earl Grey with brown sugar to unplug and escape! Though exploring remote corners of the city on my own and letting myself slip into “picture mode” is a great option too, in nice weather!

    Yes! I completely know what you mean…by seeing it in other creatives, and feeling it in myself! I think it happens to me when I’m prepping and photographing my projects as well! I’m fully in my own head and the objects that I’m working with!

    I love how you capture things through photographs. You have such a creative eye! No wonder it’s your happy place.
    I think I get lost in music, writing, and truthfully sometimes I get caught up in Netflix… haha. 🙂

    Haha it’s not just you Christina. My husband says I’m totally in my own world whenever I’m in photographer mode but my mind totally wanders when I’m doing food prep too and oddly that’s when I get some of my best creative ideas. Must be the sound of running water ^_~ Love how those colorful chairs are displayed on the wall.

      Thank you, Chelsea! We live a smoothie life! OMG we have so many. The chairs just got me. What an inventive display. I want to buy the chalk furniture paint just b/c of that!

    I love these photos. The chairs are great.

    I tend to zone out into my own little world too. I have always been quite the daydreamer.

Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherho Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherhood stress comes from and what I’m doing that’s made me so much happier.

This is for my overachievers!

Once I realized what was going on underneath all of the over planning and prevention, I found a way to relax more.

Comment read and I’ll send it to you.
I had to believe that no matter what I was looking I had to believe that no matter what I was looking at in front of me (a dusty ranch style house that looked like an abandoned outpost), this could be my dream house. 

I kept reassuring myself that it could happen even though I had no idea how that would be possible unless I completely rebuilt the house.

Then I let it just sort of appear as I kept staring at the house.

Staring as a big part of having the vision come to you.

It took many years, but I’m very excited to come down the driveway each day.

paint and lime wash were absolutely transformational for the exterior renovation. 

As we play around the house, or drink coffee outside, I look at the house fondly and appreciate the beauty and how it serves us. 

Changing your beliefs we’ll set off a chain reaction for beautiful things to come.
Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you. I decided Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you.

I decided it was time to focus on my health so I started exercising and by week 3 I was quitting-this is from someone who used to be in the military and loves fitness.

Being a mom is different!

I decided to start with mindset. I did a specific technique and weight loss started and just got easier.

Being healthy became automatic.

I didn’t need more hours in the day and it wasn’t another job to add to my list.
I started this window treatment transformation yea I started this window treatment transformation years ago and I’ve been avoiding this part ever since. 

I finally ordered this curtain rod from the same company in a different size, but the color ended up being the wrong “gold/brass” tone.

Then I ordered these curtains and the color is not at all how I expected. I was thinking fresh spring and these have a dustier tone. Gorgeous just not the same vibe I had imagined.

It’s taking imperfect action that gives you clarity.

I could scroll until the cows came home but I just had to start with something physical I could look at and decide if it was a go or not.

Tell me what you think in the comments! I’llsend you all the details of this project.
This summer I took a break from keeping up with my This summer I took a break from keeping up with my own high expectations and then a newsletter that I write in the margins of my life ended up on a list with authors I’ve admired for years.

Coincidence?

“Top 100 Rising in Faith and Spirituality,” on Substack.
For a hot second I was a list with the author of Eat, Pray, Love! What!

I have to constantly retrain my mind to know that good things happen no matter what. I don’t have to toil to have what I want.

Yes, we have to signal to the world what we want to attract but it doesn’t have to feel like a burden. 

We create the reality we experience.

What would you allow yourself to receive if you believed that you were allowed to rest?
