Do you travel? Is it just pleasure to you or something more?
🌍
For me travelling is so much more. It is pleasure and chill from work obviously but when I travel I feel free 🤗. I forget about all my problems back home, I forget about my „to do” list, I stop worrying, stop planning, I am trully free just enjoying here & now 🙏.
🌍
This is why I have „Travelling sets me free’ tattooed on my arm 😉
🌍
Setting all the chill and pleasure aside, I still think travelling has so much more to offer. What? Knowledge. Openness. Distance. Courage. Respect. Oh and more and more and more! 🙏
🌍
Thanks to travelling I not only learn geography, history of places I visit or about local cuisine but I also learn about different cultures. I learn about different people. 🙏
🌍
Thanks to travelling, or actually thanks to the time I’ve been in living in London in years 2013-2014 among many different people of different natonalities, different races, I got more open. I started learning about different cultures, different religions, different habits. I learned that what may be obscue and totally weird for me, for my culture, may be totally normal for other. We are all people but we are all different. And that is beautiful. ❤
🌍
Thanks to travelling I gained even more respect towards different cultures, different natonalities, different races. Sadly many people in my country are homophobic, xenophobic or even racists 😡. Me? Totally not. For me you can be afro-american gay Jew and I still will have respect for you 😘. Because this is what it is (or should be) about – respect. 🤝 We should all respect each other and as long as you won’t be rude or unfriendly to me I will respect you and be friendly to you. That is my rule.
🌍
Travelling teaches a lot, not only about places but mainly about the people and the fact that we are all different and that it is ok.

Learn to be grateful
Learn to be grateful
:::
I’ve already said it and I’ll keep repeating – key to being happy is to be grateful 🙏. You need to learn to appreciate what you have, to feel happy about the little things, to feel gratitude 🤗. You can’t take anything for granted, even such „simple” (some would say 🙄) things as being able to see or having a roof over your head.
:::
If you think that you don’t have anything to be grateful for go and do a volunteering at a hospice 🏥 or child care home 🏠. Talk to those poor children, ask them what makes them happy, tell them your story and see what they think about it, if you really don’t have anything to be grateful for 😏.
:::
Go and spend a day with a blind person. Or even better – cover your eyes for 1 whole day and try to live and do normal every-day activities.
:::
Go and live on a street for one night. Try to get some food. Find a place to sleep 😨.
::: Go and do all those things.
Still nothing to be grateful for?
Think about it. ⚠️
People keep forgeting about the most basic things and they tend to take them for granted whereas we should be grateful to be healthy, to be able to see, to have a family, to have 2 hands and 2 legs everyday. ⚠️
I sure am. 🙏

Haters gonna hate
Internet is a tricky place and you can not only not get the help/love/reaction you wanted but you can easily get hurt here 💔.
People tend to think that they are anonymous and/or untracable in the Internet. They think that because they don’t talk to you face to face they can write whatever they want. 😐
⚠️ NO! ⚠️
This is not how this should work.
So, please don’t do it. 🙏
If you see a photo here on Instagram and you don’t like the way someone is dressed just ignore it 🤷🏼♀️. Keep scrolling. If someone uploads a video of them singing and you don’t like it – ignore it. Don’t like it, don’t comment it.
If you heard someone singing on the street would you approach them and say „I hate the way you sing 😡”? No, you probably wouldn’t. If you saw a girl in a train in an awful dress that makes her look unattractive would you say „You look disgusting in that 🤢”? No, you wouldn’t.
Same way don’t leave hateful comments under people’s photos. Just let them be.
Unless they ask for an honest opinion don’t say anything. You wouldn’t like for other haters to spam your page with hateful comments, would you? 🤔
But if they do ask for an honest opinion and you don’t like e.g. the way a boy sings, say it in a delicate way. Don’t be a hater! ⚠️ You can always say a bitter truth in a nice way, remember that 🙏. For example, say „Maybe you should keep on practicing, I’m sure you’ll be better and better!” or „I don’t think that’s the song for you. Perhaps try a different one?”. See?
Please don’t spread hate.
We don’t want that here.
Peace & love 🙏

Bad days
We all have bad days from time to time. Dwayne Johnson, Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling or whoevere your mentor is, have them too. And that’s ok. 👍
You don’t have to shine everyday, you’re not a Sun! 😉
:::
If you’re feeling off, just take a day off. Have good sleep 🛌, meditate and calm yourself 🧘🏼♀️, watch a good movie 🎬 and relax 😇. Get yourself some new energy to get up the next day and get back on your track. 🤩
:::
The worst thing you can do on a day like this is to keep pushing even though you don’t feel like it. Honestly. ⚠️
Why? Because you’ll only get discouraged and you’ll most likely give up on your dreams.👎 Days like this are most common reason why people give up. Because they push too hard, because it makes them not like the path they’re going, because it repels them from going forward.
:::
You’re not feeling well? Don’t push it. Have a day off and get back to your dreams tomorrow.

Don’t worry over small things
Don’t worry over small things!
⚠️
Do you know the rule of 1 year?
If somethings bothers you but it’s some small thing that you won’t remember about in 1 year, you shouldn’t worry about it! ⚠️
Don’t waste time crying or getting stressed about some things (or people) that won’t matter in a year! It means they don’t matter now!
⚠️
For examle, if you had a misunderstanding with a friend, you did something wrong at work, you broke your favourite cup or some guy said something uncool to you – shake it off and forget about it. 🤗 We’ve got too little time in this precious life to spend it worring about unimportant things! 😉
Remember!
⚠️
Will it matter to your in a year? Willi it change your life or yourself that much? 🤔

Stop & rest
Do you know when to stop & relax?
Are you setting yourself goals that you NEED TO do before taking some time off?
🔸️
You need to know when to stop.⚠️
There will always be something to do but you need to learn to put it aside undone and have some time for yourself. You won’t work well without rest anyway!
🔸️
It was hard for me, some time ago, to stop working and start chilling when I didn’t finish what I was doing. I kept going and going until it was done.
Today I set myself times when I start relax time and when it comes I just leave work and go rest. For example, I work till 9pm at my music agency or blog stuff (or doing chores at home or anything else) and whatever I manage to do till that time will be done and the rest I’ll do the next day. The world won’t end if I do the laundry the next day or send some emails the following morning. 🤷🏼♀️
🔸️
You need to proritise your relax time too. Don’t push it further and further. Just put work/chores/anything else aside and chill. You’ll get back to that tomorrow.
🔸️
BUT
It’s not only about small one-day activities. We keep setting new goals one after another after another. We succeeded in one thing, we got to our finish line and we want more and more and we keep pushing our finish line further and further instead of appreciating what we’ve achieved in the 1st place.🤷🏼♀️
🔸️
Don’t run forward. Stop and rest from time to time. Celebrate your successes, enjoy what you achieved, have some rest and then set new goals.😘 —

Mondays – yay or nay
How do you feel about Mondays?
🔅
Do you hate them? Do you get up unhappy? Are you counting days down to Friday?
🔅
If you feel unhappy Monday to Friday and you live only for the weekends there is something seriously wrong. 💔
Weekdays take 5/7 of a week (duuuh 😅) and so days from Monday to Friday, workdays, take 5/7th of your life. That is over 70%! Do you want to be unhappy 70% of your life? 💔
🔅
If you really can’t stand workdays and you’re only happy during the weekend then you need to make a BIG CHANGE. Either with your attitude, hobbies or simply change your job if that’s what makes you so miserable.🤷🏼♀️
🔅
Try to do some fun stuff in the evenings of workdays too. You can go to a cinema on a Tuesday after work, you can meet with a friend on a Wednesday and go bowling on a Thursday. Whatever makes you happy, do it during weekdays too!
🔅
It is finally summer time so you can take nice walks, go on a bike ride or go geocaching with a friend (if you don’t know what Geocaching is go to my stories highlights and watch „Ideas for FUN” part. I’m going to put some ideas for fundays in that section from time to time so you can use it during weekdays too!) everyday after work.
🔅
If that doesn’t help and your Mondays still suck cause you get up frustrated that you need to go to work…maybe just change it? 🤷🏼♀️ Try doing what you like. Ideally follow your passion and make it your job but if that’s impossible (although I believe that with hard work it never is 💪) try to think what you like doing and match it with some workplace.
🔅
Try googling if your city council has a work advisor that can sit down with you, talk to you, find out what you like and help you find a job that you’d like going to. I know my city has a whole bunch of people who do that so perhaps there is something similiar in your city too.
🔅
Seriously, life is not worth living if you’re unhappy most of the time. Try and make your job likable. Try changing something so that you’d wake up on Monday with a smile! 😊
