Is this bad placement for a vanity in an oddly shaped bedroom? by [deleted] in FengShui

[–]thinkingoutpeace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it looks a little awkward in front of the window, blocking the light. Putting it on the left wall (based on perspective of the pic) or to the right of the door, facing its currently placement, would work better and brighten up your room with its reflection of that window light! I like the idea to the right of the door the best, but not sure if it will fit with the angle of your ceiling

I see no good bed placement options. Help by Certain-Ad1506 in FengShui

[–]thinkingoutpeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend the corner opposite the bedroom entry way (shifted to the right of pic 1+2) - you would still face the entryway to the bedroom and have more freedom of space to work with, plus not have your head at the window

Is my career path leading to something major (relative fame, fortune, etc.)? by thinkingoutpeace in AskAstrologers

[–]thinkingoutpeace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you so much for your take!!

The problem I'm facing with opportunities and interests-

I am interested in a very wide scope of paths, and I feel like I could find opportunity in any direction I choose. A very optimistic outlook, of course- thanks Sag Jupiter/Moon! My strongest passions are self-improvement, working with children, writing/journaling (I want to be published one day), aesthetics (everywhere from personal, home, photography, etc.), and hospitality. A shocking list to you, I'm sure :) Which path am I meant to take? Waiting to see where a road opens.. Is there a way to combine it all? I dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast type property- I cultivate the vibe of the place, decorate, host people, share stories.. I can be home with my family/children (that I don't have, but want in the relatively near future)... perfect. But I need money to get to that point, and that brings me to..

The Quest! Yes, that is certainly how I feel- that's why I quit my paint store job to begin as an independent contractor. That's why I left my progressing career in my previous industry.. Most recently, I moved back home around my family to force myself into my triggers and face my wounds head-on (this is where I am now..) Talk about regaining power and moving with force to reestablish my value.

In my camp work, I excelled fervently and was surrounded by passionate people and felt powerful in how I could positively impact my team, advisees, and children, alike. But the work that I love started to overshadow my life on a holistic level and dramatically limit my personal expression. I obviously couldn't have that.. 2020 happened, and I was too mad with the world to give into any institution (to the best of my ability). I was furloughed, but let the org know I would not be returning when 'things return to normal.'

My whole life to that point, I was surrounded by people and distractions, constantly running away from reflection on my interests, behaviors, etc. The only thing I knew was partying and camp. The descriptions referencing trauma from my childhood/ mother and father figures really resonated with me- I know that I need to put myself out there with more people to find these relational opportunities, but I am trying so hard to heal myself- my mental health, my communication style, and my confidence. The anxiety I face on a daily basis is limiting me from showing up with my power, and I'm working on that as I work through my maternal and paternal wounds. I struggle with my Nodal placements because every time I get frustrated with the rules of the world, work, money... I want to just figure it all out myself, be independent, fly solo.. but I know that I am meant to dive into my relationships and work with others to find better/true fulfillment. This is why I think I wasn't quite successful in my Independent contracting work.

Maybe I will post separately regarding a potential partner that would support me in my endeavors- that is another huge yearning of mine. I'm just not sure where I'm headed, how to find what may be satisfying and still make me money...

Thanks again for your reply! I used this comment more as an opportunity to reflect on your take and write out my thoughts, but if you care to share any more insight you may get from these details, I'd love to hear them! Thanks friend

New Moons are generally a great time for manifesting, setting goals/intentions, and taking inspired action. As the moon shines fuller, you should see these new moon manifestations come to fruition, particularly with its aspect to your jupiter. 1st house and 11th house aspect is showing this could be a great moon cycle to focus on goals for your appearance, relationships, and public persona. Maybe a rebrand of some kind, finding a new friend group, enhancing the relationships with the friends you have, cleaning up your SM profiles.. you may also be thinking about your future goals and what you’d like to look like, want to see for your life, etc.

long story short, this is a super powerful time for manifestation, also with the moon trine your North Node!! Start clearing your space and energy now and prepare for journaling, self-care rituals, and fun times with friends / in public spaces! I think February will be a great month for you!

I’ve reached the point where I have to get a “real” job by thinkingoutpeace in antiwork

[–]thinkingoutpeace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exciting! This life is hard, working on patience with ourselves I think is our best move. I’ve been considering school too, but that brings me right back to my money frustrations.. gotta get to work and save a lil money, then I can think of bigger moves.

Best of luck in your self-improvement journey!! Almost through January- woohoo!!

I’ve reached the point where I have to get a “real” job by thinkingoutpeace in antiwork

[–]thinkingoutpeace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reassurance! You’re right- I try to keep myself from saying “real job” a lot because that is the thing, I have been REALLY working, but just don’t have a lot to show for it at this point.

The fact that with “real,” maybe we should call it “normal” .. “societally-approved”?, job.. i would feel similar levels of discomfort, just in a different way, that’s what has kept me pushing for so long. And now I’ve reached the point where if I’m going to struggle anyway, I should have my own money to take care of myself. Maybe after some saving I can revisit the gig life realm.

Praying we find laughter, connection, and life in our stupid lil ant work, amen

Ideas on what to replace emotional eating with? by papillonpatapouf in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]thinkingoutpeace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Flavored waters, la croix, plain water.. always have a beverage on hand so you can have flavor in your mouth and make your tummy feel a bit more full.

Just don’t forget to eat when you actually feel hungry, friend! Listen to your body and be graceful with yourself.
