The Two Moon Project

You know the times you feel stuck in a rut. Although you’re giving it your best, you feel trapped in daily routines that bore you and leave you feeling uninspired and stagnant. And yet, you feel there is so much that ought to be done. You feel drained, overwhelmed and you don’t see a way out.

Whenever I feel that way I love creating a personal project that ignites passion back into what I do. I love setting up a personal goal that puts me back into feeling bright-eyed and eager.

I like starting new projects. I like the feeling of new, fresh and vibrant. Feeling the joy of moving forward with an eagerness in my step. Alert and alive.

I recently set up a personal project. I called it The Two Moon Project.

Spirit gave me the idea. My guides told me if I do this, the Universe will support my every move and bring it some extra fuel and bliss.

I decided I was going to choose three areas in my life that I would bring special attention to for a two moon cycle. A moon cycle being 29,5 days I set the end date two months into the future.

I chose to bring extra attention to how I eat, how I exercise, and things I do that bring me closer to long term career goals.

I decided to write a daily diary about the progress.

I am now half time through my Two Moon Project and I’m having a lot of fun. I’ve set the completion date on my birthday, the 25th of July.

This is what my writing contains.

I start by writing down what time I wake up. How I have slept. How quick or slow I fell asleep the night before. If I remember a dream, I write it down. I write down how I feel emotionally, mentally and in my body. At the end of the day I do the same, I write down what time I go to bed, and how I feel: emotionally, mentally and physically. I never judge. I simply observe. I honor my emotions at all times. I know my emotions are a compass to navigate through what I want and what I don’t want. I trust that my emotions always have wisdom to share.

I write down the time I take a meal and what it contains. If I eat something in between I write that down too. That goes with coffee and tea too. My thought here is to just observe what I put in my body without any judgement or restriction. This close attention makes me even more lovingly health conscious. Personally, I like eating organic non processed foods. Just what is straight from nature. During my Two Moon Project I refrain from all kinds of sugar. From all kinds of carbs. Eating keto is what makes me feel my very best.

In another column I write down what exercise I perform. During this Two Moon phase the goal I set for myself is to perform some kind of exercise every day, six days a week. With days of rest in between if my body tells me to. I trust in the wisdom my body shares with me. How it tells me what it needs. The documenting part brings out so much fun in creating a variety of exercise routines. I like combining cardio with weight-lifting and yoga.

For all of my adult life I have always spent at least one hour a day in nature. Either walking or jogging. There is a lot going on, on an energetic level in the world right while this world is ascending into a higher level of consciousness and I have been feeling this energetic shift in my body. In my case, it has made physical movement feel unusually heavy, as if moving about in glue, so for the past few months I have patiently and lovingly kept to walking.

With this Two Moon Project I decided to start up my former jogging routine.

I decided to just put one foot in front of the other and start jogging again, and take it from there. Not to wait for the energies to shift. If I’m in a situation I don’t like, I know have three options. Leave it, change it or accept it. Staying in a situation one doesn’t like while feeling bad about it is keeping a victim mentality.

I decided it was time for change.

I normally exercise during the evenings. My normal schedule is first an hour of running in nature and then afterwards, on some days, heading for the gym for either yoga and/or weight-lifting.

At the moment we have a wonderful, glorious heatwave here in the Northern Hemisphere so I have started doing my jogging first thing in the morning instead. Boy, can I recommend it. I love early mornings. Everything is so vibrant and fresh.

To fuel this exercising part up, before starting the project one can take the body measurements: arms, hips, waist, belly, thighs. Also jot down what one weighs, take some revealing photos of oneself, and compare when the Two Moons have passed.

In another column I write down what I have done that particular day to bring me closer to a long term career goal. And for how long I have done that activity that particular. The aim here is that each day, I do something in this area that moves me forward. Moves me closer to my dreams. During this Two Moon phase I set aside at least two hours a day on these long term career goals.

Important here is that the career moves I make are towards something I really love.

We are here to do what we love to do. Not what society tells us to do. Not what anyone else tells us to do.

But what fills us with joy.

In another column I jot down reflections. If there has been something special I have been pondering.

I also write a column with what I have learned that particular day. Maybe something occurred that I would like to approach in a different way next time.

In yet another column I write what I am grateful for that particular day. Gratitude is such a true superpower. The state of being grateful makes us attract the very things we want. Since we live in a mirror reality we get what we are. Feeling the excitement and eagerness of how wonderful life is, will bring us that. I’m always lavishly supportive towards myself. I never judge. I’m loving and understanding and cheering myself on. The more unconditionally we love ourselves, the more unconditionally loving the world will be.

The Two Moon Project also includes being sociable. To do fun stuff, just for pure joy. To get myself into a light hearted energy. The “life is fun and easy” state of being. I’m mindful about the mirror reality. In a life is harsh and requires hard work state, then that will be what we get. In a life is amazing and kind hearted state, that is the reality that shows up.

I plan at least one activity a week were I go to chill by a pool, visit a fairground, head out for a picnic, or indulge in some other fun and feel-good activity. Life is supposed to be good. I make sure I feel pampered and nurtured and loved. I provide that for me. I write down different suggestions of fun activities for me to choose from.

I look at that list of fun stuff I written down for myself, feeling like a eager child having a birthday.

Documenting the daily going ons in this way is so much fun. It is truly interesting to observe the self. True intimacy. Into me see.
