From excited to Exhausted (breaking the rules)
Some days ago I got an email from simplyapostolia nominating me to a Sunshine Blogging Award together with other 11 blogs. Receiving an award when I have started blogging on this January is amazing!! Thanks for that, so grateful to be able to share value to the world and this is a great experience, as I actually need to think about 11 people to nominate for this award too, it is a full circle activity. Being read and recognized and sharing value from others! So exciting but nothing easy at least for me!
Before I begin answering simplyapostolia questions, I want to introduce her she is a 22 years old blogger from Greece with a unique name Apostolia who started sharing to the world because she wanted to create a space to be creative, share with the people everything that helped me to survive adulthood, some tips and tricks, and my point of view of this lovely world. For me it is a great reason why to start.
My answers to these lovely lady questions are:
1. What is your favorite song right now? I really love music so just picking one song would be strange for me, being pregnant with my first baby I am exploring everything right now. We like a couple of songs like : Cant stop the feeling from Justin Timberlake (mauri is not following on this), We are here from Alicia Keys, Living in the moment and every song on the LOVE cd from Jason Mraz also must say my baby enjoys music my mom back in Uruguay loves from piano master “Gianni” In the mirror CD
2. When did you actually decide that you’re going to be a Blogger? I didn’t decide I was going to be a blogger, I decided to be a giver sharing value to the world from my amazing window in Lezzeno, Italy to help others. Why? Because my life shifted 360 degrees after meeting amazing people and friends in Italy that helped me take action to follow my dreams and I know it fills me with joy to help others.
3. If you could give any piece of advice to other bloggers, what would it be? Go for it! If it is meant to be for you do it. Enjoy and live life to the fullest. Most important thing “start when you are not read!” and don’t over judge you, you are expressing something that can create an impact to someone’s life and if you touch at least one heart that is more than enough
4. If you could live anywhere in the world (apart from where you live now), where would it be? Right now I am in the right place to be! Will keep my options open to actually think about another place.
5. What’s the very first thing you do every morning? My morning ritual is super important to me I jump off bed get dressed and go for a walk to an amazing spot in the lake where I meditate. Once I arrive home I have breakfast and I start working from my amazing terrace!
6. What’s your favorite Social Media and why? I just would say Facebook right now! As I am not using many platforms now!
7. How and where would it be your dream vacation? I think you don’t need a vacation when there is nothing to escape from like the song says! Obviously I love travelling to places where beautiful beaches or lakes are. If I think where I would love to go in the beginning of next year… I must say back where my family and friends are: Uruguay.
8. What is your favorite Holiday and why? Good question! Not really have an answer for this one! Sorry!
9. What is your favorite season-month and why? I love summer!! I love nice weather, being able to swim and be in the water all day!! Depending where I am the months change!
10.When did you feel most proud in your life? I am super proud of myself and it is a great reminder to me to be proud every day of taking the best decisions for me and my family!
11. What is your favorite quote that you try to live by every day? Let the world know why you are here and do it with passion
I was super excited finished answering the questions and I got overwhelmed on writting a Blog post for my blog noo that goes against my Manifesto. To be completely honest right now I don’t read 11 blogs, I have people that inspire me I receive their newsletters and sometimes not every time read like: Marie Forleo, Doula Darcy, Jessica Nazarali andCarrie Green.
So if I think of amazing people putting content to the world not only on newsletters or blogs this comes to mind to me:
1- Maddy Gray: https://www.maddygrayyoga.com/blog
2- Andre Hartwich: https://andrehartwich.mykajabi.com/blog
3- Anita Morrow: https://1millionmeditators.com/welcome14715705
4- Stephanie La torre: http://www.egmanagementconsultant.us/hired-style-coach-even-though-work-home/
5- Veronika Nemeth: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1649658052005368/
6- Liene Uresina: https://www.facebook.com/groups/masteryourbrilliance/?fref=nf
Of course there is people I forget but they will understand..
What questions will I do to this people or
have I done to them:
What is your story?
What is your big why behind what you are doing?
Tell me one thing you are amazing at?
Do you work on your passions?
What makes you uncomfortable?
I am fully myself when?
I know I should keep working on this and it gave me a great idea for another blog post! Whenever it has to come it will be!
Again I am super thankful with all the people that asked me to check their blogs and nominate them but it would not be me to actually nominate something I didn’t read or paid attention to! So sorry if I break the rules… but I was not feeling it so it ended up this way!
Wish you liked this blog post and remember to book your free call with me before the 3rd august!
Love
Vivi
This morning I was on my usual morning walk and came up with a new meditation from the Chopra center. In this meditation he was talking about how many people don’t have fun and let their inner child out to be creative.
When you are certain age is badly seen to have fun, to draw and be creative, how can you have fun if you have to be working all day, or taking care of your kids?
I remember the look on my mom and dad’s face when I left the accounting university and said your know I will go to Brother Creativity school, I was completely insane for them. A year of just creating, doing collages to songs and worst part sitting on the floor for hours and hours every night. This was 9 years ago and still I remember it as one of the best years of my life. There were a lot of rejections but I felt I had a space to be my goofy me.
Having moments of waking up in the middle of the night with ideas, crazy or not were ideas, I felt I was bringing “sexy” back. I find that at least in my case this has been my love, writing, creating for others, HAVING FUN!
You might be thinking what does Chopra and meditation has to do with being creative and have fun? Well, meditation connects you with yourself allows you to stop and listen. Today I decided to try and listen every day to my inner creative, and set aside a time to have fun!
I must say I love synchronicity as this already started yesterday when I said to my husband after dinner.. do you want to dance and he said YES! Less than 3 minutes of laughing and trying to dance together with our belly filled us with energy and love. Then today I found this meditation, oh I love the signs of the universe!!
I leave you with this link if you want to go through this meditation. If you don’t feel like meditating you can put a song and set free your imagination… What can make you if you draw, dance or sing for 5 minutes, nothing negative will come out of it. Feel a kid for a minute sorry for 2.06 min!
If you liked this blog just share it with your friends! If I can help one person today from this amazing view my heart will sing with happiness!
Wish you an amazing day!
Mmm didn’t come so easy!
I just started overanalyzing the subject and having very emotional days so, how can I really write to you about emotions when I was having this moment. So here I am being myself again and opening up about Emotions.
Being 7 month pregnant and thriving on my pregnancy, emotions tend to be all towards peace, joy, happiness and positive aspects.
What happens when you are 7 months pregnant and just need your mom to be here with you and she is too afraid to fly she says to you “sorry I cannot do it”, not this time (hallo, there is going to be for this baby only this time!). Emotions like disappointment, resentment arise which is our attachment to our parents and the fact that they taught us we need to need them, that is OK, we are human we just need to be aware of recognizing it and listening to what is triggering it.
Resisting to it only makes it stronger, so if it feels uncomfortable sit with them for a minute give them space to be there. Get the strength to just LET THEM GO! Emotions are emotions and whether we like them or not they will be there, let’s try to be aware of them when they arise and also see am I feeding this emotion or letting it go.
It is our choice to feel negative, sad and feel bad which is completely normal if they break your heart, still you need to get everything back together and decide how long I am going to let this emotion get me or be bigger than me.
So when I go on and search for the meaning of Emotion: Woow! It makes so much sense …
Emotion is any conscious experience characterized by intense mental activity and a high degree of pleasure or displeasure.
Do you know that emotions have a place in our body and so when we let the negative emotions like resentment, worry, guilt , fear take over we can actually get really sick, tired, and stressed leading to a burn out. When we are positive and joyful we feel better and more energized.
So, if it is a conscious experience and it can make us sick, my question to you is, are you being conscious of your emotions today? What are you holding in your heart?
Something that really helped me was starting to meditate, connect with my breath and ask myself some questions. It doesn't need to be complicated you can start by asking yourself the same questions during 5 days:
Ask yourself which was your first thought when you woke up? Did you carry it through the day?
When you meet people what are you talking about? Do you like what you are reflecting?
Do you focus on what is missing or worrying you? Can you redirect this to what you want to invite more of in your life?
Are you complaining? What are you complaining about? Can you let go of these?
