I have a lot of the same blurts as you do.Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-17061230435389280852009-08-26T11:09:24.953+10:002009-08-26T11:09:24.953+10:00I really like your alternate lives.

Me too on the nun ... maybe we can be in the same convent in another 300 years or so, when we come back to earth ;) Hmmm, will they have convents on the moon or other planets by then? Maybe we'll be Astronaut Nuns!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198572015888392613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-6280320717852795042009-08-26T09:10:43.871+10:002009-08-26T09:10:43.871+10:00Oh your artist date sounded blissful.
I had a lot...Oh your artist date sounded blissful.<br /><br />I had a lot of blurts too. I wondered where they came from as I have always had a lot of family support for my art. As I listened to the blurts, and as Julia says, they began to sound familiar. I went back through my past and discovered they were actually coming from my early school years when I was picked on, and made to feel very bad about myself. The daily ridicul made me hide myself and wish I was invisible. I realised that these blurts wern't necesarily about my artwork, but about my low self esteem caused by these situations.<br /><br />Maybe if you look a little furthur into other areas of your life not just around art you might be able to find where these blurts are coming from. <br /><br />I am working on my affirmations too now. I am finding they are helping to block out those nasty blurts.Michelle Eatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249391882536601883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-57889802959391636472009-08-26T08:41:22.750+10:002009-08-26T08:41:22.750+10:00p.s.

I think (a) it's normal, we are people, not robots, (b) you are forming a new habit, it doesn't stick overnight, if it did it wouldn't be a habit worth acquiring.<br /><br />One thing that helped me make it a habit was noticing how the quality of my day generally diminished on days I did not do brain drain. This may not be your experience. But there was a noticeable difference for me. It just took me a while to perceive it.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361049701631611546.post-46898561042791293372009-08-26T08:35:52.663+10:002009-08-26T08:35:52.663+10:00ooh, I like this post, Robyn.

I'm getting a better picture of your inner miss R just from reading that list. (Maybe you understand what I mean?) <br /><br />You did all this *and* managed to be the cluster leader and post guidance on the blog.
