The mindset of “more, next, newer” can also hide inside spirituality and travel. Not only in money, consumption and success. But also in countries, experiences, healing modalities, ceremonies and transformations.
I realized it was me for a while. Not so much when I was traveling around, that’s when I was calm, less on my phone, connected to nature. I did not feel like I needed to see every country in Asia, nor every place in one country I was in.
Sometimes it creeped into my mind, when I was in Peru I thought: wow I should go around the whole country and also see Bolivia, I am so close now! Yet I stayed in the sacred valley for weeks.
But being back in the busy life, more on my phone and having a lot of imput like that… more then output (creativity), I went a little bit crazyyyy in my mind.
The mind is wonderful to observe and how easy it is influenced. This is also not a secret knowledge anymore. You can ask any AI or search online to write you a plan to manipulate and convince people.
So I realized, I shall breathe, connect to my body. Keep making art, by writing, by painting or what ever wants to come through.
No need to travel the whole world or see as many places as possible. Find my inner Mindo Maaike, where I spend one week walking around and cooking food. Chill.
