Are you sad or happy?

Weekly Report CW 20
The sky is always blue
Do you recognize when negative emotions turn back? Normally, we miss the moment when emotions fade for the better. Meditation is a great exercise to be aware of the changing emotions in all directions. Quickly checking in with ourselves during conversations and actions during the day helps to see our emotions shifting in all possible directions. In meditation, the metaphor of the blue sky is often used. Clouds describe our emotions and thoughts. We can get very attached to thoughts, feelings, and emotions—rather than accepting them. But hey! The sky is always blue. And during this week, even if it was rainy outside, I felt my inner blue sky for the second week after a long time. There were some clouds, but they faded away, and it was pretty blue all the time. How is it for you? Do you have up and downs all the time?
Groups and meaning
This week, I was confronted more than once with groups that look to find their meaning. I’m going to practice the why-discovery for groups and probably make it available as a workshop. Saturday next week, I give a four-hour workshop to do it the first time.
Fail, and success makes life interesting.
Sometimes we fail first and on our second try, we succeed. Sometimes we don’t succeed a few times but then we do. I think when we challenge ourselves always a little bit more, we can’t predict how a single play will end. These challenges keep life interesting for me. I’m not interested to play when I know I’ll win every time. That would bore me to death. Would you feel excited to win every time you do something?
