There are few moments I remember more vividly from the memoir “Eat, Pray, Love” than the moment Elizabeth Gilbert is on the bathroom floor sobbing because her marriage and life are falling apart.
For the first time in her adult life she turns to God, in prayer.

She asks God what she should do, and God answers:
“Go to bed Liz.”

Sometimes life is so overwhelming that we forget the basics of our self-care.

But it also reminds me of a quote I definitely have no recollection of where I heard it or who said it, but it is a pretty well known one.
It’s about a wisdom that you need sit for an x amount of time in meditation every day.
Except when you’re really busy:
Then it’s double.

We’re so busy solving the not-working things that come on our path, or investing in the goals we want to accomplish, dedicating entire chapters of our life to them;
That the day-to-day seems expendable.
Something we can brush aside until we have sorted all that other shit out.

Except, of course;
It isn’t.

You cannot go without sleep, or social life, or keeping your house in good shape.
Regardless of you not remembering five years from now if you attended to them or not.

But on a deeper level, it will have made all the difference if the upcoming years you live by what you know to be true in the area of self-care;
Or if you let it be overwritten by every other urgent thing.

The way I am tackling it recently, is that I dedicate just as much planning and strategy to the self-care as to the rest.

It has its own journal/ planner.
It’s own daily moment of reflection of how the past 24 hours went and what can be improved.

It’s the pillar that says:
You are more than just your work.

You are still human.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.

For seven full years, I followed the same mentor. She had a change of direction, distancing herself from the work she created when I followed her. Yet if anything my connection to that same work has grown even stronger over time.

It reminds me of my fondness for romantic relationships where there is a borderline insurmountable distance between us.
I have been a fan from male idols since I was a teen. But in my case, this was not a phase but an early sign of my preferred relationship style;
Distance will be mandatory.

And it can be the only element, meaning “we” can have only the distance and not the relationship, as was obviously the case with Jon Bongiovi and Axl Rose, who were my teen idols.
My love blooms in the space between us.

So when the mentor created this distance, the space she left behind excited me.
This was now mine to fill.

It’s been “years” without her *) -quotation marks since she never left my thoughts and I kept studying her work – but it is not until now that I start to see the logic, the brilliance, the deceptively simple principles that were the rock solid foundation under her work.

A set of them, although she never said any of these out loud, would be;

If “it” cannot be NOW?
If at least some action cannot be done immediately?
And if it is not something that you will ingrain and carve into your everyday reality, to be with you until the end of your days?

Then don’t do it.

In all likeliness, your life currently consists of two things:
1. The things you wanna do every day.
AND
2. The things you resent doing;
Postpone;
And then an endless list of shoulds, wants and dreams.

Only one of those two things is your purpose.
And it’s not the second.

*) I would like to give you the name of the mentor.
This posted was written weeks ago, and I have since started studying her newer work as well, and was so warmly welcomed by her personally.
You can find her on Instagram under @katrinaruth_ which is her new account.

Today, finally, I woke up energized and excited. Because after years of following this creative calling, as described above, I am now in such smooth and easy waters.

Because I figured out WHY creativity is such a complicated calling.

The good news is:
None of it has anything to do with the art itself.
You being inspired to create something will always be the unpredictable, inefficient, vulnerable process, that demands you to show up will all your attention, and give the best of yourself.

Like slugs only eating the freshest youngest leaves (and I remember even going as far as eating only the tip of the asparagus, but I think that is myth since asparagus grows underground!);
In the same way the snail of your creativity will insist on having “only” the tip of the asparagus of your time.

And you can go feed the stalk to the rest, your creativity really doesn’t care.
Just don’t bother them with such inferior, your-attention-all-over-the-place-or-in-your-phone-crap.

Who could blame them.

However!
Aside from our creative calling clearly having impossibly high standards, being territorial and ruthlessly pushing the competition out;
It is all incredibly good news.

Because those asparagus stalks and full-grown crop your creative snail refuses to eat?
Provides excellent building blocks to build what you really need.

Systems.

This can be a business, a blog, a content planner.
A sales strategy, a job, a career, a community.

Your success, growth, and peace of mind are not in the quality of your art.

They’re in how well you’re able to build a system to deliver value;
Or on how well you are able to deliver value within already existing systems.

It’s not just the rule for artists;
This goes for everybody.

Every time I am certain I’ve now thought enough about my peculiar life choices, that I’ve recalibrated yet again and yes still stand by what must seem  like odd choices, at surface level at least;
I get sucked into a new cycle.

Making just one small course correct!
Just a little something I found on the internet!
And that makes so much sense and will just increase the impact of whatever it is I am doing, bring what I desire, or that will solve that aching problem;
I end up in failure and frustration, yet again.
And sit down thinking it over.

Without exception, I notice it was all already exactly as it should be.
That the problem was not in me choosing the wrong interventions;
It was in me still being susceptible for solutions or tempting upgrades to begin with.

But the work that needs to be done will flow through you!
And if it doesn’t, then it’s not yours.
It will get done by forces bigger than us, or, alternatively, it doesn’t need to get done at all.
Maybe it was merely a projection of some outdated belief about being good or being responsible.

You know what is responsible?
Acting on your calling.
Which means doing the work that arrives at your doorstep, or in your thoughts, again and again.

But after that?
No longer your problem.

Maybe you feel CALLED to promote your work, or to find a place where you will be paid for it.
Then go ahead!
It’s part of the calling.

Maybe you feel called to save your work, curate it, publish it.
Great!
Clearly part of your calling.
You could feel CALLED to save someone else’s legacy and publish that.

But as a rule?
What happens to your work, is not your work.

Thank God.

The older I get the more I realize:
“We don’t build anything. Don’t actually create anything either. Not really.
It is already done.”

There is a driving force beneath it, that we can feel and make the most of, or we can ignore it and try to make something with our own bare hands 100 meters to the right of it.
Achieving of course, nothing.

Because the foundation, the groundwork, was never supposed to be done by us.
It was already woven into the fabric of our existence, and we were only meant to pick it up from the thresholds of our dimension, and bring it into our world.

And this exceeds professional and creative endeavors;
It is in everything.
Or, alternatively, it isn’t.
And then it will never fly, never really be done, and fall apart the moment you take your eyes off of it.

I believe – and you might fiercely disagree with me on this!- that all the work is done in the other dimension. Our own influence is incredibly limited.
Which can be both a good, as well as a bad thing.

It’s good news, if we’re drowning in destructive emotions like hate (including self-hate), shame, despair and terror.
It would take some force from a dimension we do not understand, to manifest anything irreversible there.
You not being the main creator of your reality, could be the very thing that saves your ass here.

But the alternative is also true;
If we really, really want something, and no matter how we come at it, reality just won’t budge?
Oh that sucks.
A lot.

It can pay off to look for movement in this fabric of our reality.
Where does it vibrate with expectation?
Where does it stretch and expand, as if something is coming into existence?

Where, does it call your name.

It’s been over two years since I wrote those words.
And by now I can testify that sometimes dreams get stuck, are not what they seem, and it can be frustratingly hard to carve out the actual dream from the solid mass in which they’re hiding.

And also that not knowing where you are on the journey, can be a blessing.
The reason I could work in 2023, was because I felt so on track!

And yet, little remained of the things I started. 

You can be excited about being en route, when the ultimate destination, if you even want to call it that, ends up having very little to do with where you thought you were going.

And yet, had I not gone after my dreams in 2023, I would never have ended up where I am today.

Here’s what I learned:

The most important one is to “just” start; But to keep it small.
Avoid designing a long-term path, and instead focus on making small steps.

Every journey and project, even the failed ones (maybe especially those!) provides so much valuable information about yourself and about your dreams as well.
And about how to get there.

See your attempts at achieving your dreams simply as experiments, and not as a binary thing where it is good if “it worked”, and you failed if there are no results.

Every attempt provides you with information.

The second piece of advice is to let your path be rooted in something you love doing.

F.e. I love abstract thinking, writing and planning.

But yours could be being part of a community, sharing your dreams with a (business) partner, or connecting in other ways.

You may have to actively sculpt your path to include those elements.

But after 2 years and 4 months?
It’s all that remains.

“To be understood at an energetic level.”
My new wording of what it is I see myself doing, or growing into, does not exactly feel natural yet.
Maybe it never will, I don’t know.
But it does feel as true.

Because with the overload of information available, and our instincts to combat complex situations and problems with adaptable and agile solutions (or with equally complex structures) I foresee the end is either in sight, or already behind us.

There is only one place to return to, and this is our body.
Not the mind, so easily replicated by AI, but the body.

Have you realized how deprived we have become?
In our digital experience we use our eyes, then audio, but our tactile experience is limited to typing.

Just think about the rich experience of taking a music cassette out of the small case;
The touch of a crispy sleeve of a vinyl record;
Or the mechanical sounds of a VHS tape clicking into the player.

I even remember the smell from the music section in the library, because the plastic cover sleeves of the vinyl records had such a peculiar, delicious smell.

I know a building where a rubber wheelchair dorpel over the doorstep makes the whole hallway smell like the building of the primary school I went to, when I was very small.
It’s like a timeportal in scent.

We’re so deprived right now, we’ve lived in a sensatory desert the past decade.
I expect people will look back on the 2020’s and wonder if we didn’t realize our entire physical experience had been marginalized.
Where the richness of life has slipped through our fingers.

Right now, one road leads to us becoming bad robots.
The other to us embracing our physical Self.

And with that?
Our vibration.

I think what I had counted as a crisis of faith.

Because honestly, if you’d asked me a few hours ago, before I had a nap that lifted the grogginess, or at least softened its razor sharp edges of having less than 3 hours sleep;

If you’d asked me the future of this What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today – series;
The fate of my New Rock Star YouTube Channel;
And the fate of the Catacombe blog (tagline “become the Rock Star you were born to be“, which Chat GPT had made synonymous with my name even half a year ago already)

Then I would have told you, I was going to drop them all.
Poof, gone, sorry, can’t do.

Now three hours sleep does not even generate enough cognitive power to decide what to have for lunch;
Let alone what to do with what has felt as my life’s work, right from the first posts in 2022.

But I didn’t know that.
My brain wasn’t working.

All I knew, was that at least this disruptive sleepless night had given me one actionable decision:
Catacombe, was out.

It was not bringing me closer to my longterm goals and my workweek was spilling over heavily into the weekend.
Something had to give.
And it was not going to be my Dutch work (which I have been wanting to expand on for months)
It certainly wasn’t going to be my Bon Jovi-related work (which is at an incredibly meager once every two weeks)

No, clearly it was Catacombe had to go.

And if you’d asked me this morning, I would have told you.
Smooth and matter-of-factly.
Without making a big deal out of it, or anything.

Until I got some sleep and remembered when one cancels something that brings joy;
Clarity;
Empowerment.
A sense of ownership and direction.

And perhaps not just to me;
But to you.

You guessed it;
Never.

I’ve fallen head over “bootstrap” heels in love, repurposing these old posts. Which were the first of their kind, from a series (What Do Rock Stars Do Today) that ended up being my go-to format, committing to it indefinitely.

Today I also modified the Canva post, for the first time.
Adding the lesson onto it, something I did not do until now.

So today’s lesson is
“Act Ready”
And it’s definitely one I needed to hear as well.

Either these lessons from over two years back are universal, or I am such a slow and stubborn learner, that they are still relevant.

But the good news is;
I also learned good things can very well happen even when, technically, you are not ready.
Let me explain.

The readiness of your surroundings only matters as far as it is a reflection of blocking -or otherwise unhelpful- thought patterns.

In other words:
It is not your material world, nor the digital world for that matter.

For example always keeping your home clean, is not what brings you what you want: It is your (positive) conviction, that lies beneath it.
Your mental patterns.

There used to be a show, and I have never seen it, so it could be still on, but it was called:
Undercover Millionaire

Without a name, resources or a network, a millionaire would try to recreate their success, in a different location.
And nail it, while working themselves up from sleeping in their car, to earning their first million.

You know why?
Because in their head, they were still carrying the blueprint of success.

Our mind needs to be ready for what we want;
The rest will take care of itself.

It’s like a gate is slowly closing behind me, and I find myself in the process of looking back.
It is humbling to see how little I knew, in the times when I was doing great. And how much wisdom the past 8 years have brought, which were without a doubt the worst ever. 

They may not even be over, and I no longer need them to be.
To be okay with everything staying the way it is, it is the litmus test if my new philosophy, or mindset whatever you want to call it, is working.

As long as I am still dependent on external circumstances to change, then I am not done.

Any parts of the past 8 years which would still cause a meltdown if they happened again?
Aspects that need solving?
Urges that need satisfying?

Then they go on the (for now) imaginary To Do list, of things that need more time at the drawing board, or meditation cushion.
More deep conversations, more connection, more movement as well as more stillness.

Any part of the past 8 years that still stirs up emotions is a sign I have not been able to extract its lesson that will serve me forever.
Still not cracked its code.

And unless I do, that will always be a liability and I cannot have that.

The past 8 years have brought me a vision, of how I want my life to be;
My professional life, my private life, and even which (small) part of my work I want to curate, and leave behind.

But more than anything these years taught me that the gift is in knowing these things.
In having something to strive for.

Whether or not I achieve it needs be ingrained;
As entirely irrelevant..

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.
