Finding my way to a sound spirit. Not so easy work to focus on myself. Not so easy to find my real needs in the middle of the fog. But at least I succeeded in slowing down the big overthinking machine. Well, I decided to release myself from me. And actually it feels good. I made more space for myself, being alone, caring, freeing my mind, relaxing, resting, exercising,… In summary, I can breath again.
“God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other”
Lately, this quote meant a lot to me. It is from the Serenity Prayer written by Reinhold Niebuhr. Whoever you are, believer or not, maybe those words will make sense for you as well. It is such a tough task to find the balance between what the mind tells and what the heart says. I wish you to discover what works the best for you.
First I want to thank my flatmates for being supportive and kind. I often notice details that in general people don’t pay attention to. And my flatmates do uncountable small thoughtful things, the list will be too long to write. ❤
Soft tissues for my allergies 
Little surprise after my workout
I’m also feeling lucky to have friends and colleagues who bring me laughter, smiles and kindness. ❤
I jump at the chance sending love to my friends and family (just to remind you that you are in my heart whatever the distance between us #DeclarationOfLove ❤ ❤ ❤ haha).
Otherwise, this month started with the MOOC Be the change organized by Solidarités Jeunesses. It was an interesting learning session about conflict management. It gave some tools and methods to understand better what is conflict, how to make the conflict relevant and find a way adapted to the situation. It is nice to think that conflict is not always negative. Sometimes it lets the opportunity to improve a situation or create a change. I learnt that understanding a conflict gives the possibility of highlighting the real needs. Indeed it helps to take a step back and get a new approach. If you’re interested, you could check out the Thomas Kilmann Model of conflict management.
About self development theme, in Inex, I prepared a workshop whose topic is self confidence and reaching dreams. The plan is to present it to younths. First it will be online and then in schools. The idea is to talk about topics related to dreams, fears, comfort zone, perception of ourselves,… In the end, the aim is to get tools which help to overcome obstacles between us and our dreams. For the workshop preparation, we did the first trial with colleagues. It’s always nice to have different points of view and feedback in order to improve it.
What happened in May :
Gold Premium Yoga session for VIP. Because we don’t have time for joking around. We upgrade ourselves and transform the meeting room in Yoga session with home cinema héhé
Devin Castle day trip with girls. How nice it was to be with them. How great is to see a new place.
If we can not come to the restaurant, the restaurant can come to us. What could be better than receiving directly at home a nice meal ?
Just a sunset, my camera and me. This feeling of peacefulness. At this time, the place didn’t matter. It was just about being in the present. Simply, enjoying the moment.
First barbecue of the yeeeeeaaaar ! Yeahhh! 😀
Weirdly I finished reading a book. Normally, reading is one of the things I never take time to do. And this time I did. I went beside a lake. It is revitalizing to listen to life again : the wind in trees, a group of friends playing guitar, the laugh of kids playing around, the dogs running and a pig. No joke. I would never imagined meeting a little pig wearing a flower necklace in Bratislava. People, I introduce piggy to you. ^^
Because. Just because. Being with them. Singing on a bridge. Watching a beautiful landscape. Running for no reason. Dancing next to a river. Whatever other people, whatever the place, whatever the time. Just because simple things make me happy.

Sometimes there is no picture needed, the memory will be written in the stone. I spent a lovely time with Mathilda, Jarka and her family. The plan was to visit Jarka to check out some stuff, at the end, we spent a nice evening together. It was unexpected and authentic. That’s how it made it so special. Thanks for this wonderful moment.
Sometimes, moments are captured by pictures. This month finished with a photo shooting. This time, I played the game being on the other side of the camera. But I wasn’t alone, I was with great girls. With them, I feel more comfortable. It was a lot of fun 🙂 The photographer will send us later the pictures.
So that’s it. Enjoy life. Enjoy being alone, enjoy being with your loved ones, enjoy your surroundings.
Spoiler alert, next month you’ll discover some pictures from the photo shooting.
PS : Did you know that it is strawberries’ season !!! 😀 Beautiful days are already on their way
