When was the last time you had a conversation with yourself? And I am not talking about the mad ones!
(clap along)
Wed-wed-wed-nes-day! 👏
BTW - Have you ever wondered about this? M T W T F S S ? 🙃
Wednesday not only marks the fact that we've made it halfway through the week (and Pizza-Friday is already in sight), but actually represents Odin a.k.a. Wodan. 'Wodan's day' is old English for Wednesday, and he was kind of a Germanic super God.
Firstly, he was easy to recognise: He only had one eye, as he gave away the other one in return for a sip of water from a magic well that made him ultra-wise (who wouldn't!). Secondly, he was a an animal whisperer, and the proud pet father of two ravens named 'Huginn' and 'Muninn' (Memory and Thought). Every morning, the birds would fly out into the worlds (according to mythology, there were not one, but nine!), and by the evening, they returned and reported all they had seen and heard to Odin. An ancient multi-dimensional spy system, so to say! 👽
In languages that have their roots in Latin, Wednesday is named after the Roman God Mercury. He was a busy man, filling not one, but two roles: As the official messenger God, AND the God of trade and commerce. In Ancient Greece, they called him Hermes... yes, exactly, the guy with the fancy winged sandals!
Wednesday's are best to connect.
As both of these mighty Gods are dealing with wisdom, information and communication, Wednesdays are considered to be THE DAY for interaction, creativity and verbal exchange of all sorts. An idea for a song or a story stuck in your head? Today is the day to bring it finally on paper. A full e-mail inbox? Go, and knock yourself out. Haven't spoken to someone you really should call? Well, you now know the drill.
What we forget is that the most important conversation is the one we have with ourselves. 💖
Did you ask yourself today "How am I feeling?" "Did I sleep well?" "Am I happy? Joyful? Excited? Motivated? Full of love? Or just really hungry?" (In my case, mainly the latter 😅). Most importantly: "Do I love myself?"
Often, we misunderstand communication as a purely external task. And yet, all of us have so much more going on underneath our skin than we can imagine.... Whatever we think you know about ourselves, there’s always another layer waiting for us to peel back, and discover a new dimension - and like Odin's ravens, we sometimes need to fly out, so we come back to ourselves, and report all of what we've seen, heard and felt.
Here is lovely guide with 50 questions for you. You can do this exercise at any point of the day, answer just one question at a time, or go through all in one go, write the answers down, say it out loud, translate the answers into dance, push-ups, or frantic runs to the coffee machine.. whatever your heart desires. 💖 Just be brutally honest, and make sure you have enough time at hand to allow your true feelings to bubble up to the surface from deep down in their own, sweet time.
This wonderful 2-hour set may help you to set the musical tone for your inner journey: Tribal, positive, and just AMAZING to listen to. Enjoy the expedition! 🦚
Wishing you a lovely Wednesday ahead, full of insights, new information and discoveries. I hope you will learn many wonderful things about your beautiful being! You are truly wonderful. 🌺☘️☀️
With love from Goa,
