  • Serendipity…

    2016 - 08.18

    The question of striving towards Serendipity came to the forefront the other day while listening to a couple of podcasts. It occurred to me that my Depression works against Serendipity completely. I’ve noticed since my last job finished some weeks ago, that Depression is trying to assert itself again. Currently my sleeping pattern is smashed to bits, and all over the place. My motivation is flagging.

    So the last few days I’ve been pondering, mind mapping and developing a regrouping plan for myself. I’ve set some short-term goals, and so far the plan for the short-term (six weeks) is focussed around the following:

    • Regular blogging again
    • Regular shop updates on both Etsy & Shards of Arcadia
    • Daily Photography whether it be something for Stock Art or my shops
    • Daily exercise again
    • Pull my sleeping pattern back to normality
    • Vegetarianism
    • Transitioning off the Anti-Depressants by the end of September

    Hopefully with all of these implemented piece by piece over the next month and a half, other aspects of my life will begin pull together again.

    In making the decision to move to Vegetarianism, not Vegan, but definitely no meath red or white. Philosophically I’ve begun to be too uncomfortable about the way we treat animals in the quest for food.

    I’m thinking outside the box and my comfort zone as far as the type of work that I’m looking for goes, and hopefully promoting Serendipity will lead me to something helpful there soon.

    So how does this relate to Serendipity you may ask? Well it’s all making moves towards promoting Serendipity by taking action. Depression pushes me into a zone of inertness and no action. Serendipity cannot happen with no action. If I want my creative pursuits to flourish I need to be healthy, active questing and not passive.
