When Michelangelo was asked: how do you create such beautiful sculptures, he replied, “I just take a stone and cut off everything superfluous.”
I used to think that finding myself and my way in life meant endless self-improvement, finding and eliminating flaws, constant learning and moving towards some unattainable ideal of wealth and perfection.
But at some point I felt that I took the wrong path. I felt like I was going to the wrong direction for some time.
Yesterday I had a coaching session with a neurographica instructor and my request was: “in which direction should I develop in order to find my way”?
We did not even start drawing, because the conversation was long and interesting.
At some point, I saw an image in my head, as if I was looking into the water, trying to see my reflection, but I couldn’t see anything because there were ripples and waves on the water.
Then in the process of communication, at the end of the session, I saw the image again that the water had calmed down and I began to see my reflection in the water more clearly.
The problem is that all our lives we build our opinion of ourselves based on the reflection of crooked mirrors. Parents were afraid to praise us, at school you judge yourself by grades, society judges you by material achievements.
In Ukraine, where I come from, it is difficult for people to get material prosperity. This has led to the fact that money has become the main value in society, because having money is the key to survival.
Now I live in England and the standard of living is much higher here, but many people don’t like what they do. I’ve noticed that many people are depressed because they don’t like their job.
In the counselling course I am currently studying, there was such a task. I had to answer the question “who am I?” 80 times. At first it was easy, I am a woman, I am Ukrainian, I am a mother, I am a teacher and so on. But the further it went, the more difficult it was to answer.
It can take a lifetime to figure out who I am and how to be happy. But to do this, you need to learn to listen to yourself more often than the world around you.
Neurographica helps me with this. I have already drawn about 100 drawings and I understand that the journey is just beginning. During this time, the brain has cleared and calmed down, and more and more answers are coming from the subconscious. Harmony came to life, and bursts of anxiety became episodic, rather than a constant noise in the head, as before. There are fewer fears and worries.
Today I am working on the drawing “layers of happiness”. This is a rather complex drawing, in which there is a simulation of an increase in the level of happiness at the brain level. The instructors say that it works on the principle of quantum physics. The observer changes reality. I don’t fully understand how it works. But that’s what attracts me, I see that it works, but the meaning opens up gradually.
At the end of the coaching session, I realized that the image of the true me already exists and was created by the Creator, and my task now is to cut off everything unnecessary and understand his plan.
