We’ve talked about goals in previous post (Motivational Monday, step 3).
Now let’s talk about dreams π€©
:::
What’s the difference? π€«for me goals are about career, about work life, about something that we work on (or should be working on) everyday.
And dreams are something else. Something magical, about your personal life, your family, your free time. ππ«

I told you yesterday that we’re going to Mexico in the end of October.
Why? It has been my dream to go to Mexico for their Dia de los Muertos since I was a teenager π€©
And now it’s finally gonna happen!!
This is what gave me wings lately, the reason I’ve been so happy and full of energy π
And the trip is happening this year as a gift from myself to myself (and from my husband and parents a bit too π₯°) for my 30th bday! Dia de los Muertos that is celebrated on Nov 2nd is exactly 1 month till my big day! π
I literally cried happy tears when we bought the tickets π₯².

Now tell me, what are your dreams?

Merry Christmas! Be here & now
There couldnβt be a better day for self-love day than Christmas Eve! π Now you have no excuses but to slow down, to focus on here & now, to be PRESENT ππ
:::
Which time are you most present in normally? π€ Deep into the past, fully soaked into memories, remembering good old days π; in the present focusing on present moment and present emotions or in the future π, constantly planning what to do next π
, creating βto doβ lists for upcoming day/week/month? π€·πΌββοΈ
:::
If youβre in the past or in the future, do everything you can to change that and to goβ¦ BACK TO THE PRESENT! π You wonβt enjoy Christmas or, for that matter, your whole life, if youβre not present here & now! π You wonβt be happy and calm if youβre constantly somewhere in the past in your mind or constantly running towards future! π€·πΌββοΈ
:::
Notice whatβs happening around you NOW β¬οΈ, whatβs the taste of the meal youβre eating, what does it smell like in the room, what do you feelβ¦be here & now! π€
:::
I gotta say that lately Iβve been constantly in the future – planning upcoming posts, upcoming days, weeksβ¦Iβve been deep in December in my mind since the end of October as Iβve been planning and preparing everything for Smiley Advent Calendar π
Constantly couple days ahead of myself. STOP! π This is not how it should look like and I canβt wait for Christmas to stop it all and to just be present π. To rest and not plan anything. To concentrate on Xmas meals and their taste, to smell the Xmas tree, to be here & now π€©
Β
Merry Christmas all! π Enjoy this day and as they say βstop and smell the rosesβ. π€

SELF-LOVE: Let’s travel…at home!
SELF-LOVE πβ€
Self love is about taking care of our emotions, feeling but it’s also about taking care of our needs, right? Well my need is to get back to travelling ASAP. After all if not coronavirus I would’ve been in Norway now π«
So I decided to….travel at home! π
For last couple of days I’ve been creating sets of various countries/cultures at home and taking pictures so…welcome to our journey around the world!
Join me on Instagram as for next 2-3 weeks we’ll be travelling around the globe. Every picture will be from different country! ππ You can guess what country it is in comments or wait for next parts of the collage on my feed for the answer.
Maybe we can travel together? We could do #SmileyTravelling hashtag and you can all tag your photos! Either a photo (taken at home!) with some symbols of your country or a country you’d like to visit. If you’d be intetested I may think of some prize for the winner π
Next stop: somewhere in Europe
When: Sunday! π
SELF-LOVE: Memories
While we all are struggling with those weird and difficult times lets dive into the past π
Take your photo album, pour yourself a tea/wine/drink and soak into memories. Maybe call a friend that you’ve been in a trip with and talk about it together? Laugh about your wild adventures and funny stories! π€
Try to relive those beautiful days!
Maybe dig deeper and find your childhood photos? Call your siblings or parents and relive it together! ππ
Memories are forever π

Happy Boxing Day!
Happy Boxing Day!
Are you happy with your gifts? You should be! Appreciate what you got, be happy with every little thing! Believe me, this will make you much more happier in general!
As for me, I LOVE giving gifts! I LOVE making surprises and seeing smile on a face of a person Iβm giving a gift to. Makes my heart warm.
What about you? Are you a giver? Or you prefer receiving gifts?
Easter
Here we have Easter time. Do you have everything ready for Sunday?
It might be less popular than Xmas but itβs still a beautiful holiday!
π£π£π£
Do you have a family to spend it with? Do you have time off? Use it! Cherish that time with your family. Appreciate that you have people to spend it with. Think of those people who donβt or of those people who have to work and wonβt see their close ones.
π£π£π£
This is happy time! Loving time!
π£π£π£
Call you friend and tell him/her you miss him/her. Call or visit your grandma/grandpa if youβre not spending holidays together. Go to cemetary to visit those who are no longer with you.
This is family time!
π£π£π£
Forget about work. Forget about your duties. Spend those couple days with people close to you, tell them something nice and just be here & now. π
How to be HAPPY
