JTL Day 49 – Day 2 of 21 days of Writing Every Day – Chasing Fun


Ok, so I am starting to realize that I am charging my experiences with positive or negative energy and then chasing around the positive experiences and running from the negative.



In regards to work, it is interesting to note that I actually like and enjoy work, at least if you ask me. However, when I get home from work, the last thing that I want to do is more work! When I get home, I want to vegetate, read things only of interest, play piano, or anything that entertains me because I feel the 'right' to be entertained because I have been at 'work' all day.



On the weekends, I go through this too, where I am looking for something fun to do all day, to not feel bored. There are also times when things slow down so much, on the weekends, that I literally have nothing to do and then I go into some kind of fear where-in I fear that I will not have the 'ultimate experience' in my truly 'free-time' wherein I literally can do whatever because I have the time. In these situations, the last thing that I want to do is write or do more 'work'.



So, I am living my life chasing around fun! I am chasing around the 'positive' experiences that will make my life more exciting and more fulfilling. But within that what am I really doing? What is the real difference in all these experiences that I am having? Why am I not simply 'fulfilled' right here in every moment of breath, just simply breathing and existing? Why have I charged things with 'positive' and 'negative' energy and then run or hide from various activities when in fact the various activities may not be that different from each other or may be debatable whether or not each activity is fun or boring, positive or negative? Why not just stop charging and judging the things that I do and just treat everything that I do as either what is practical for my survival and what is best for all, or as not either one? In other words, I really have only 2 realities when I participate in any activity – it is either required for my survival and/or it is best for all – whether something is good/bad, positive/negative, fun or boring is completely subjective and only serves to fuck with me as it puts me on a chase, chasing after the 'good times' while only neglecting what it is that I really need to do to make this world a better place.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to charge work with 'negative' energy, and within that I forgive myself that I have accepted and allows myself to resist doing more work, or other self-labeled 'boring' activities when I am home and in my 'free-time'.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I need to do 'fun' things in order to live my life and be fulfilled.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to chase 'fun and fulfillment' around instead of just breathing and being right here in every moment of breath.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realize, and understand that the 'need to have fun' and the 'resistance to boredom' and the 'work is boring and grueling' mentality is all per-programmed from my past experiences growing-up and living in a society that gives one these ideas from the media and popular culture then the repetition of these ideas from the general populace who are parroting what we see on TV, etc, and within this no one ever realizing that these ideas are only real when we create these experiences as ourselves through believing these things in the first place.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe in the idea that work is boring and grueling and therefore one needs a release when one comes home – and within that I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that the need to 'release' when I am off work indicates to me that there is something wrong with my relationship with work – as if I were working in equality and oneness, I would simply go to work, come home from work, and be right here, stable, breathing, and in no 'need' for any type of emotional release or fun activity to fill my time and make me feel better and fulfilled.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that 'if I am not doing what I want and having fun and entertainment' then I am not 'living life to the fullest' and therefore missing out – and within this I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to participate in this mindset knowing that this has more-then likely originated from popular culture and not of me, and that I am only allowing this so that I can get that 'positive energy experience' because of my 'negative energy experience' that I have self-created through my relationship with work and other 'boring/negatively labeled activities.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to charge 'writing' as negative/bad/boring and then go into resistance towards this and then to move myself to other more positive activities even if they are very similar, like reading an article on the internet.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have never investigated why I have charged certain activities as 'positive/good/fun' and others and 'negative/bad/boring' – and within this, I forgive myself that I have just been reacting towards my positive or negative associations towards just the thought of doing certain activities.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to simply not just be here, breathing, directing myself to what is best for all and my survival in this system at all times without judging ANYTHING that I do – just simply breathing and doing it, or not doing it.



I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that by judging activities as 'good/fun/positive' and 'negative/bad/boring' I am screwing with myself and allowing myself to be directed by positive and negative energy.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be directed by my predefined relationships with the outside world and my emotional reactions towards these things because of my predispositions and within that I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to 'blindly' participate and be directed by these preconceived ideas without investigating them and seeing them for what they are and then stopping my participation.



I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that all activities are just activities and nothing more – and that I create my own experience towards them and the reactions and resistances as well.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I enjoy my work and have fun at work when, when at the same-time, when I come home I resist other 'boring/negative/bad' activities because 'I have been working all day and need a break' – when that should be a big red-flag that something is not right; and within that, I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to investigate my relationship with work even further as to why it is that I experience stress and the need to do other fun/positive/good activities rather than just come home and do what is practical.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realize, and understand that part of my 'negative' association with work is the 'stress' that I am under when things might go bad, or I have an emergencies and need to solve an issue, or when I am doing the same thing over and over again for hours on end – and within this I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to slow down and pay attention to my body and the muscle tension and the postures that I hold and how this may be affecting me and my 'energy' levels both during work and off work.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to move and react and to hold my physical body in the state of tension when and as I am experiences something bad or working and within that I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that this is physically taxing on my physical body and creates/supports the idea that I need to a form of 'release' to counter this when in fact I merely need to be here and breathe and relax at all times – no matter what the circumstances as I see, realize, and understand that being relaxed and here and breathing is always the best solution.



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be always chasing energy and running from energy-draining experiences because of my preconceived ideas about various activities which is based on the emotional and physical experiences that I have created in association to various activities, in separation of myself as the mind.



When and as I see myself going into the self-created emotional reaction of resistance towards activities such as work, or writing, or anything that I have created a negative energy draining relationship with – I stop and I breathe because I see, realize, and understand that this 'energy-draining' experience is self created based upon my participation in the negative associations that I have given towards any particular activity. AND THUS, I commit myself to breathe deeply in and out, breathing the resistance back into my body until I am clear, when faced with the prospect of participating in an activity that I have deemed as 'boring/energy draining/ negative, and then proceeding to do this activity so long as it is practically what is best for all.



When and as I see myself going into the ideas that writing and work are boring or energy draining, I stop and I breathe because I see, realize, and understand that my experience towards activities completely self-created can be corrected through breathing. I also see, realize, and understand that it is folly to charge a previously 'negative' activity as 'positive', but rather just to simply be here and breathe until one is clear AND THUS, I commit myself to breathing until I am clear and no longer participating in positive or negative charges/associations with activities, but just living, breathing, and doing what is best for all in every breath.
