The importance of pursuing YOUR DREAMS

“If your heartbeat feels alive, there’s still plenty of time for your next big dream..”

Andreea Apetri

Ever been in that situation where you had to choose between following your dream and the actual reality? Where you wanted something, but were afraid to start in the very first place, because you were influenced by words of others like: “that profession is in extinct” or “with what money will you live if you do that job?”. Well, dear reader, I’ve been in that situation, were I thought that skipping my dreams, in the very first place would bring me joy and recognition from others. That hurting and sabotaging myself, just to create an image for my family and colleagues, costed me a lot and I would give everything back to start from the beginning.

To-Do List for 2021

Phew, we made it! We officially entered a New Year and we precisely wished ourselves to be ‘Our Year’, yet nonetheless some of us are still questioning themselves if it’s worth investing in a new Planner? If it really makes sense planning in advance or will 2021 be again the Pajama Year?

A different kind of Holiday Season

A few days ago a friend of mine, asked me an ‘interesting’ question that I wanted to share with you today: “Where are you going to celebrate New Year?” I didn’t give it to much thought and I responded her: “Couch, Eating, drinking and scrolling down Facebook and Instagram!” Many of you would think that it was kind of an irony what I told my friend, some of you would think that I wanted to escape a conversation with the ‘annoying friend’, yet I will be really sincere with you guys that this answer followed me the whole 2020 calendar holidays. Starting with Easter and closing it up with New Year.

How did Quarantine change my Perception on Life?

I’ve always wondered why did many people perceive Freedom, as an act of going out for a coffee or to a party? I remember in March, when everything shut down for a couple of months due to Covid-19 and people being upset as why their freedom was “stolen”. It occurred to me only today, that actually people were never free in their thinking, they just pretended to be. Many people think that freedom is just going out with your friends or attending social gatherings, yet this word has a more complex meaning. In the Oxford Dictionary freedom means the power or right to do or say what you want without anyone stopping you and I think that this is true as long as we respect some ground rules.

Anyway, I don’t want to make a spoiler, yet I want to share with you, some ways in how to see challenges as an opportunity and not as a threat.

I’ve encountered lots of changes into my life, from changing houses to countries and every time I wanted to adapt to it, that much I wanted to run away. I couldn’t cope well with it.

5 Ways how Journaling can help YOU rearrange your lifestyle

Putting pen to paper is a mystical way to access your most profound truths – Marie Forleo

Ever since I was a child, I liked writing journals, yet when I stepped into the adulthood and encountered lots of problems I immediately stopped doing this activity. I stopped buying those beautiful page journals and pens and started mourning about how difficult my life was. Every day I was concentrating on my problems and not the solutions. In that period of my life, where everything turned upside down I turned my head to books. I wanted somehow to escape the reality and dive into the unknown. Into some fiction stories that had a happy ending. Some people blamed me at that time, as irresponsible and lazy, yet I was trying to understand how writing worked, because when you stop writing for a long time, you tend to forget that skill. I read hundreds of books and somehow the taste of writing came back to me. I bought a simple, yet thick notebook and started writing about my day, but as days passed by, I understood that I was starting to recreate my lifestyle and not just complain about it. So, I’m writing this post to let you know, how can journaling help into changing your lifestyle routine.
