My Class Of 92

My class was picked out to attend a knowledge based competition. 4 of us made it to the regional finals in the Nordland county - only beaten by the national winners that year - the class of Brønnøysund. For Norwegian readers: Konkurransen var 5på!

How To Deal With Life s Insecurities...

...I read self help books.

I don t believe in anything other than help of the self through effort of self.

Internal and cognitive challenges in a mind working 100% properly and healthily, ultimately will only heal through self help.

That does not mean that we dont need guidance to find solutions. There are many many tools for guidance: Friends, family, partners, psychologists, coaches and SELF HELP BOOKS :D Even the man on the street, or a random conversation through a colleague can provoke new thoughts about a challenge one is struggling with, even a solution. The highest barrier for not finding a solution? Victim mentality.

Victim mentality means that you are a victim of whatever happens to you. It is never your fault - and you never take charge, or responsibility for the things that get you down, or that you feel is working against you. Feeling helpless and not able to affect something that is keeping you sad or frustrated is sometimes simpler than doing the inner work or taking action to make things better, I feel. To be honest I have filtered out the people that have this type of way of looking at things. I never do it straight away - it is when i realise that whatever i do to help this person, things will never ever get better before this person decides to do the actions necessary to create change.....That is the moment i decide i cannot have this person in my life.

Do you think i am in the wrong for having made that decision?

Solution seekers are the heroes of society, and operative action - and changemakers are my mentors, and the people i choose to admire.

Tips for good reads? Paulo Coelho - "The alchemist" is a great place to start. Louise Hay is good too. She sometimes - to me - is experienced as a bit too much in a sense that her life view is very spiritual - but her thoughts on life and her miracle stories always inspire me. Hay House (Louise Hays publishing business) has a lot of good books too.

Some thoughts for now :)

Questions about drugs

In this day and age. There are so many people that choose to use drugs. I never did and I probably never will do. I ve always been open to listening to the experience through others but it has never been a question about using it myself.

At the same time - i ve had a load of friends who have used drugs. For some reason i have always been shielded from it tho. I dont know, maybe they do not think its for me. Maybe i am marked as "too innocent".... I don t know.

At the same time I am curious to find out how people get into using drugs. I can t put myself in that situation - ive never been in it - and honestly i am way too scared to ever try it myself. What am i scared about? Never asked myself the question really, just don t think it would do me any good basically. And today i am really thankful for that fear. Knowing people who have already used drugs i realise that it is mind altering in so many ways. some people take years to get their full ability back in terms of their emotional life as well as certain intellectual abilities...Short term and long term memory loss and so forth...

My point is, what makes you do it in the first place???? And what would you wish could have stopped you from doing it???? I want to know this. At some point i will be having kids - and i want to make sure they never ever try them....Just like me :)

Octopusober

Seems like October will come and go in the same draw of breath........

Finally a little upturn with a great work load - a safe feeling and more work over the weekends...lol!

I mean it! I need it! The only thing standing in my way now is the energy. With hypotherosis it is hard to find the right amount of tyroxine that will keep my energy levels stabilized.

Now. I am about to start my weekend. Will be working at the service station over the weekend. I love people - it ll be great. I ll close up the shop tonight - haven t done it in a few years and is excited to see how it will all come together - it s like bicycling i keep telling myself.

Autumn is definitely in the air - with a crisper and fresher air and colorful landscapes surrounding us :)) It is so beautiful.......I have no words - it is almost like i am on a higher spiritual level when surrounded by such bauty!

I hope to get to take some photos over the weekend to share here on my site.

But now I have to run - boyfriend is waiting - we re eating take away today - what a treat!!!

And a beautiful weekend to you all <3
