Finally unbend , by Pevernagie, oil on canvas, 100 x 80 cm xx
How can we finally unplug in a hustling world? We often notice we simply do not have the knack for unwinding and finding moments of stillness. Learning to align our commitments to our needs or values and keeping our time budget under surveillance can be extremely grounding and energizing. Putting boundaries around our time and energy patterns allows us to lead a balanced and inspiring life.
If we don’t want life to pass us by while the world is swiveling around us, let’s look inwards and turn things upside down in the inner chambers of our minds. Only after reshuffling our rooted values can we look outwards, discover the fascination of life, and rediscover ourselves, layer after layer.
Like the tired traveler unbending in the quietness of his bedroom after an exhausting trip, we must loosen up during our life journey recurrently.
When we retreat timely into a break of reflection, we can conquer the sanity of our mental condition and find a piece of stillness amid the world’s bustle.
After dispelling love or ravaging hate has done its work, we may come into remission from sorrow or regret and needn’t freak out while creating a soothing space for cuddling up into the warmth of a New Haven.
