I’ve been studying the ego for over a year now, and let’s just say-it’s complicated. 🤷‍♀️ Repost from @thetentenclub using @RepostRegramApp - What's your ego?
Your thoughts, your sense of identity, the way you define yourself.
Why is your ego not your friend?
Because it is defined based on your life experiences.
It is not YOU.
You are your inner being.
Your ego will always lie to you.
Fears, insecurities, limiting beliefs, self criticism, judgement, yada yada.
Learn how to separate yourself from your ego and you will be set free to align with the truth of your inner being.

I’m loving this bedroom 😍 the caption says “It doesn’t get much cozier than this”...but a TV where the artwork is hanging and a fireplace where the dresser is would do it for me ❤️ Repost from @countrylivingmag using @RepostRegramApp - It doesn’t get much cozier than this. ✨ #regram @van.norden.lodge

Hope you’ll take the time to scroll down and read. Absolute truth! Repost from @elephantjournal using @RepostRegramApp - "However the descent into the darkness begins, it always perfectly contains everything we need to heal and grow.⁠
Perhaps it’s a veering off course from the things that nurture us, a harsh trigger from our environment, a perceived setback, or a reaction to pain. ⁠
⁠
Any way it happens, there is an inner knowing that something is out of balance. This little voice is then followed by the cascade of the fear response, and the struggle against our perceived 'negativity' often commences.⁠
⁠
That struggle was borne when our ego won the argument with our intuition. It started as a negotiation, then we made a misstep. We probably chose the thing that would feel good right now. We probably threw out the thing that might be uncomfortable, but will have a true payoff to our well-being, later.⁠
⁠
We probably weren’t feeling very well when we made that choice. We may have done it out of real desperation from being ground down into a pulp by difficult circumstances or feelings we don’t want to deal with. ⁠
⁠
Next, the battle within breaks out. The rebellion. 'I don’t want to feel this way!' we may moan. 'This shouldn’t be happening to me!' we protest. 'Why can’t I just be positive?' we scream at our pain. We are off to the races at this point, spiraling downward in a parade of self-pity to avoid the emotion beneath it all: the fear that our darkness will swallow us whole.⁠
⁠
The waves and triggers start crashing down in quick succession as we struggle against the storm within us. We let go of self-nurturing and care as we succumb to doubt and futility once again. The darkness takes hold and actually begins to swallow us, anyhow. We feel like we are drowning when the reality is that we are still swimming."⁠

Look how pretty the box looks in its new home 😍

Refurbishing old flatware boxes is a passion of mi

Refurbishing old flatware boxes is a passion of mine...but this one gave me a run for my money (all $6 that I paid for it!). It had long stopped serving as a flatware box and smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke on the inside I wasn’t sure if the smell would ever come out. But after cleaning it thoroughly with Krud Kutter, the smell was gone (love that stuff!). The wood on the inside under the nasty green felt was beautiful, so I left it alone. I painted the outside, did the stripe design and Prima transfer on the lid, cleaned the hardware....everything was going along fine. That is, until I reattached the lid and found it had warped somehow! When you looked at the box head on, the left side lined up nicely, but on the right side there was a gap of a half an inch between the lid and the base.

What to do? Well, unwarp it, of course. I put HEAVY weights on it in the hope of bending it back into shape. I left the weights on there for the better part of a month. No dice. Hmm. I know - magnets! I bought thin strong neodymium magnets, rectangular ones that fit perfectly on the rim, and attached them with Gorilla Super Glue. After letting the glue cure for 24 hours, I closed the lid and voila - problem solved. For 2 days. The force of the box wanting to separate was no match for the Gorilla glue, and after 2 days of looking beautiful the box ripped open, tearing the bottom magnets clear off the rim of the box (I really should have documented this with photos!). After finally scraping off the other magnets and the Gorilla glue residue and fixing the paint on the rim of the lid and the base, there was the gap, still smirking at me. Then it hit me. I needed a lock - something that would keep it force closed. I scoured Amazon, and decided on these bronze toggle catch hasp clasps that you now see on the front of the box. I didn’t encounter much difficulty in attaching them to the box, and, while they may not be ideal, at least the box is no longer smirking, lol. #livingthecozylife #gratitude #hyggelife #gemütlich #diytroubles #refurbished #flatwarebox #likebrandnew #planb #bequickonyourfeet #thinkoutsidethebox 😂
