STAY POSITIVE HONEY!

STAY POSITIVE HONEY!

I know New Year-New You, all that New Year Resolution stuff can be a bit overwhelming sometimes.

So I will tell you one thing- Life continues no matter what. You are up or you are down. It doesn't stop EVER, so just keep going, hun.

Push yourself harder whenever you feel like dropping, relax and enjoy the ride then you are up.

And for God sake, don't try to blame anyone, its no ones fault, sometimes it's just the way it is- f**king rollercoaster- one day up, next day down.

Don't worry too much. Its OK, because in the end everything happens for a reason (even the shitiest stuff). 

The reason to help you to appreciate the LIFE.

Few things to keep yourself happierrrrrrrr :

• Go for a long walk outside (don't lock yourself at home)- with good music, of course;
• Or my way- Go for a long run, with the good music, of course;
• Pamper yourself (we all love a bit of fresh mani or pedi on us);
• Watch movie, which made you smile, laugh, brings you good memories from childhood;
• Grab a milkshake (you have to try peanut butter and banana, trust me on this);
• Call the old friend/talk to people (spit it out, it helps);
• Or write it out, as I do;
• Plan a holiday;
• Do good for others (even opening the door for the neighbor will make you tap yourself on the shoulder);
• Read Osho, always calms me down;
• GO and get that favorite dessert of yours, we all know sugar makes us happy;
• And now you can go and sweat it out. Workouts increase your serotonin levels(mood lifter)- exercising is great, truly!
• Meditate..Yh I know if your head is full of crap it won't be that easy;
• Give someone a compliment;
• Remember hilarious moments with friends/family;
• Make art. As Meryl Steep said "Take your broken heart, make it into art";
• Write down 5 things you are grateful for.

One more New Year

2017, I got a good feeling about You baby!

I have never ever created the New Years Resolution before, simply don't believe in it..But feels right this time, as I just changed my job (totally to different direction) and the life too. I am feeling excitement what New Year will bring after a long time. 

So, where do we begin? Yes, learning to love yourself and start to treat yourself with respect that's the biggest aim. One of the most important ingredient of love is respect, after all.
1. Be more like "Love myself for who I am". 

I’ve discovered that when I take risks and go outside of my comfort zone the most AMAZING things happens. So more "F**k it, let's do it"

2. Try skydiving, paragliding, mountain climbing ..

Gratitude is essential because it helps to realise that, no matter what the world is full of amazing things and wonderful people.

3. Start the day with 5 things you grateful/thankful for.

Let's talk anxiety. Anxious people tend to look to the future. Like depressed people living in the past, anxious people live in the future.

I am one of them- always worried about "what if..", "what gonna happen next..". What could happen next - I  can die any time!

4. Screw it, Enjoy the moment.

We been raised in a world where everyone told us that you have to do it all by yourself. YOU have to make it work no matter what. We have so much pressure from everyone, but you know what, you are allowed to switch off, take a brake, disappear, stop and start again.(even tho it might take longer then expected)

5. Learn more 'Just Let it go'.

Sports, fitness, healthy life style always been such a big part of my life. Is simple - I love being active! I like challenging myself and my body. After exercise I don't feel tired, but energetic. I believe by being active and healthy we thank our bodies.

6. My aim is the marathon one day, well let's start from half-marathon this year.

As we getting older and wiser (sometimes). I start feeling of need to have 'my place'. You know where you can bring all the cushions you bought over the years, fully unpack your suitcases, walk naked and do all the crazy s**t you can't living in rented apartments.

7. Invest in real estate. (I know it sounds scary)

You never know how long you have. This could be your last hour on the planet. So stop delaying great meet-ups with long no see friends and family. Invest in friendships you made through the years.

8. Visit Family and Friends more often.

We have the luxury of designing our lives in a way that suits us. We can do WHATEVER we want to do. I feel more often we are overwhelmed with the choices. We take simple stuff too serious and important things for granted. (You may be doing the New Year resolution plans every year. In Jan you are all over it- no drinking, no smoking, training, finding new job, blah blah.. So after 2 months you find yourself more grumpy with the cigarette in your hand cursing your old job over the bottle of whiskey. So you failed once again)..no surprises. The big secret is BALANCE. 

9. Find Balance in everything you do.

And if you don’t know what to do with your life. Don't worry, you are not only one. Just start from the most important thing and keep trying. It will change, suddenly, if you are very passionate about it ;)  

Lots of love for 2017 xx

Things I LOVE

I couldn't live without..

• Coffee- Nespresso coffee machine is my bestie, so I would take it everywhere with me if they could make one like little hand bag (business plan;).
