friday afternoon update! 6

careful what you ask for

reported a month ago that i was clearing some psychic space to create a work-free saturday, through the simple act of creating this friday afternoon update, and that a couple of weeks after i began that project i hit a partial and freed up my saturday mornings. well…that was before the current economic climate, of course, and what the heck, i’m happy to say that for the month of december at least i am officially job-free on saturdays. woo hoo!

now it’s time to put together another simple hack that will double my income while also freeing up another day or two! and of course once i figure out the hack i’ll share it with you!

sleeping on the job

nine days into this alarm clock thing and it is working like a dream! and i’m actually noticing more dreams! due to the lighter sleeping that i do closer to dawn, no doubt. most days i wake up 30, 15, and 5 minutes before my target. today i hit the nail on the head. the hardest part is correcting the snooze mentality. i suppose that if i didn’t still have that, i’d probably get up any time within a half hour window of target.

one thing i’m discovering is that i generally wake several times a night, just a light surfacing actually, and since i want to beat the clock as it were, i gain a half-hour that way after all, i tend to check the time during those brief moments of consciousness. i’m sure that as time goes on and i get more comfortable with knowing that i’ll beat my target i’ll chill a bit on those earlier surfacings (1 am, 2:30 am, etc) and fade back into blissful sleep until it get’s closer to 5.

true happiness this way lies

almost immediately after posting on wednesday about tuning in to Universe for help, nourishment, advice, etc., i received an email from my friend james bartley with the results of some ‘free happiness coaching’ that he had posted about on his dancing geek blog. now don’t be getting any ideas about hitting james up for some of this coaching yourself…turns out it is very time consuming at this point and he is not in any shape to continue his offer. and the early bird gets the worm, so i’m here to tell you how it wiggles!

so right off the bat the first thing that james notices is my tendency to draw heavily on Universe (the infinite, as he puts it), at the expense of 1-1 connectedness with…people. of course, since people are the human face of Universe, it doesn’t take me long to recognize that as a human myself, that makes a lot of sense.

that said, it then becomes impossible for anyone to know my troubles but God, eh?

of course, there was a lot more to james’ coaching than that. 3.5 pages to be exact. full of thoughtful analysis as well as helpful suggestions. and truthfully, he hit the nail on the head pretty good. so either he has developed a rock-star system that just needs a bit of time-line streamlining, or i’m just easy to nail. or both, ha ha.

just to say that it’s official, and thanks to some email issues i haven’t seen any of the paperwork! more news next week.
