Dream A Little Dream

Do you dream? 

I’m not talking about the kind of dreams where you’re flying through the clouds like you’re Superman; or where you realize you’re walking around your school or office without any clothes on; or where you’re being chased through a vast cornfield by a machete-wielding psychopath intent on liberating your head from your spinal column; or maybe one of those where you’re riding a majestic twelve-foot tall purple unicorn with a rainbow tail who farts little clouds of the most amazing cotton candy you’ve ever had as you walk through the Gumdrop Forest (mental note…there might be potential in that last one…).  No, I’m talking about taking the time to dream about what your life could be. To dream about the things you could do?  To imagine your wildest fantasies about the life you could live?

Today, we’re going to talk about dreaming big.

Selflessly Selfish

On By Chris BuddIn General, HealthLeave a comment

I’ve decided to take a new approach to my outlook on life for 2024.  Following an emotionally, spiritually, and physically taxing month of December, I am starting off the new year on a less-than-optimal level.  I would daresay that I am borderline burned out.  My wife may argue and say that I am well-beyond borderline, but with no official diagnosis, I’ll just go with how I feel.  And I currently feel run down and a shell of my usual self.

While I haven’t been one to make resolutions for the past few years, I’ve decided to make a bold and, for me, challenging one for the new year.  This year, I aim to be more selfish.

A Phased Approach

On By Chris BuddIn MusingsLeave a comment

Following up on my last blog post, I wanted to expand on one of the realizations that have recently come to me. As I mentioned previously, I’ve recently restarted a self-development program called Reset. Over the course of 16 weeks, our coach, François Lemay, gradually introduces various concepts and exercises to help us transform our lives. This is now the fourth time I’ve participated in the program, yet it is like an entirely new program each time I take it.

As François’ understanding of the world evolves, so does the Reset program. This year, he has introduced the concept of energy phases – this is what I wanted to discuss today.

Welcome Back

On By Chris BuddIn General, Musings3 Comments

It’s been nearly two months to the day since I’ve last posted on this blog. At first, I felt guilty not writing anything. Maybe guilty isn’t the right word. I felt like I was letting myself down. Here I was again giving up on something, a normal pattern with me. Get interested in something, dive into it for a little while (the timing varies, sometimes it lasts a week or two, sometimes a couple of months, or even years with the blog), and then just give up and stop doing it. Why do I continue to stop? What makes me give up and just walk away from all of these activities and plans? In a word, EGO.

Signs & Synchronicity

On By Chris BuddIn MusingsLeave a comment

I’ve always believed that the Universe provides us signs; that is, if we’re willing to look for them. As I’ve continued on my growth journey these past years, I’ve become more attuned to the messages that are being directed to me. In more recent weeks, I’ve embarked on a self-help program (for lack of better terms) with a view of resetting myself. How fitting then that the program is called Reset?

As part of the program, I am meditating regularly, writing out gratitudes daily, looking for patterns in my behaviour and seeing if I’m activating and following my values. While I’ve always considered myself an observer, I’m being much more heedful of myself and my surroundings as I work through the process. As a result, I’ve started noticing more signs, messages and synchronicities presenting themselves.
