QMusings

Mr. Gary Lee tagged me for the “Top 5 Obsessive Thoughts” meme.

The next day, HMTKSteve tagged me for the same meme.

Guys: Do you really want to go there?

Do you really want to know the Top 5 Obsessive Thoughts of The Inimitable Ms. Q?

Does the phrase, “Freaky Shit” or even “Seriously Freaky Shit” come to mind?

You can pack a whole lotta Freaky …obsessions into a four-foot-ten-and-three-quarter inch package.

The Top 5 Obsessions Of Ms. Q

1. Writing/Blogging: My thoughts revolve around writing - what to write and how to write.

I am writing posts in my head, crafting phrases, constantly observing and looking for anything that I can write about. I have “looked for the story” my entire life and am constantly observing and making connections.

Until I acknowledged the fact that I was a writer and began my blog, the only outlet I had for writing was emails. Now that I have my blog, my writing consumes me. On the one hand, I love the fact that I am so passionate about writing. On the other hand, sometimes I want to turn it off and take a break!

2. Relationships: I am constantly thinking about my relationships and how to improve them, especially when it comes to my family. I want healthy, accepting, loving relationships with the people I care about.

In my efforts to improve my relationships I have had to work on my relationship with myself. This ties in with my next obsession.

3. Personal Development: I was raised in a very judgmental, critical and withholding environment and ended up becoming a fearful, cautious, judgmental and critical adult.

I’ve been fairly lucky to meet people throughout my life who have metaphorically slapped me upside the head and pointed me in an emotionally healthy direction. I am continuing to work on myself - letting go of fears, accepting others and myself, allowing others to be who they are, learning to love unconditionally and allowing people to love me.

I want to live up to my potential. I have known too many people near the end of their days who obsess about the Three Uddas: Wudda, Cudda, and Shudda.

I remind myself that I have This One Life.

• Avoiding risk sometimes means avoiding life.
• Avoiding pain sometimes means avoiding love.

4. Health: I have maintained a healthy lifestyle most of my life.

I began running in 1989 after I realized that at the age of 24 I shouldn’t be so out of breath after dashing to catch a bus. I began lifting lightweight dumb bells back in 2000 to offset a slowing metabolism and my increased chance of bone-loss due to my being a small-boned Chinese woman.

I am a bit obsessed with running - I used to run 35 miles a week and last year had 2 injuries that kept me from running. I’ve slowly begun running again and just this week ran 5 miles! It looks like I’ll have to cut down on my weekly mileage but I hope to continue running for the rest of my life. Time will tell.

5. Money: I worry too much about money and from what I’ve learned about the Power of Attraction, I have a scarcity mentality.

I need to work on my thoughts about abundance. I don’t have any great desire for all the trappings of money - designer clothing, high-end car, massive home. What I really want is the freedom that having money provides.
