Vitamins For The Soul #2

Your personal choice takes you where you want to be with a huge smile

I’m restless. I can’t get clarity on my next projects. Caring friends are telling me: ‘It’s too much. You should slow down.’. Business-related friends tell me: ‘You should focus. You have too many projects.’. Both visions aren’t helping me because my ideas are too many and too fascinating and too, well just too much, even for me.

I’ll try to ease myself, but not by stopping to think about a new project and not by focusing on just one project. I’m looking around, ready to take my medicine. I know what is good for me, right now.

It’s not about what they say is good for you.

It’s about what will make you smile, inside.

In order to soothe me, to make me feel really okay and at ease, I need my unique vitamins. My personal vitamines for this moment. For this mental situation, I definitely need … music.

I need upbeat songs I know the lyrics of. I need to sing as loud as a can from the depths of my heart. I’ve learned a few months ago there is a name for this, but I can’t remember (and can’t find it) what it is. I name it empowering ecstatic music. Music that is filling my soul with the much-needed vitamins to keep on doing what I love. Even when it’s almost too much.

We all know music can get you in the right mood. I’m always fascinated by film music, such an impact music has! As for support for your mental health, music gets wider attention in the research field. I’ll give you one example. In this Inc.com article, Melanie Curtin writes about anxiety and music. Both stir your soul and calm your nervous system. The negative thing is that you will not be able to drive afterward. Contrary to me after taking my ecstasy vitamins. I will be able to drive my car anywhere I want and will do that with a big smile on my face.

Actually, I would prefer my bike and cycle anywhere I want while showing my big smile to each and every one I’m passing. Knowing that I will manage. Not now, perhaps not tomorrow, but I will manage to know what to do next. All through my veins it is sending me messages of confirmation: ‘I’m able to do next what is best for me and my projects.’ Afterward, I will do my thing and see what happens in my mind and what happens around me. I’ll just know what to do, I just know, it will be my choice.

For me, there is nothing compared to these soul vitamins that would be more helpful. I’m sure you’ll have other vitamins for your soul. For me, these are the best. In this situation. They make me smile inside and outside. My personal medicine makes me feel better in an instant, so I’ll just grab them and take them all in at once. Meatloaf, Bruce, Sting, U2, Stromae, Claude, here I come! ❤

Bye, smile, Ella
