This letter is for you...

Dear Brother, Dear Sister,

 This letter is for you...

Game lovers, drawers, procrastinors we are alike. like you, I fall easily in the proscratination trap, lazy lands and distractions. For my numerous pitfalls, I ask myself myriad of questions on why I did not do what I was supposed to. Guilt, self-critiscism haunted me as well as this question:

 Why are you?...Here?... Like that? 

 To forget my pain, I fed it with SIMS, video games, drawings, alcohol and television.

 Hopefully I found a solution and cannot wait to share it with you.

 First bring together two ideas which appear at first to be in opposition: 

 Life is, but a dream {12-D GAME} said Beyonce. 

 Like any hero in your favourite game, you need three tools:
- A mission pad
- An Appointment pad
- A thought pad

 A mission pad is nothing else than a TO-DO LIST. The tool is ultimately for incremental design ;), you write new task which you need to accomplish in order to get to the next level of your life plan. Small tips > use back and front of your pad to separate tasks related to your professional life from your personal life > Draw some tick boxes, cross them if you've started a task. Fill them up when you have completed it.

 An Appointment pad is nothing else than an AGENDA for better anticipating your position in space and time. Alike a video games, we move from place to place, the agenda just remind us where we have to be at different stage of our journey.

 Together, the mission and appointment pad remind us where we have to be, what we have to do, ask and accomplish.

 Finally the thought pad. It is better to separate thoughts, meeting notes from things to do and appointment. Use your thought pad to write your new ideas, questions, drawing brainstorming. If they are some tasks appearing in your thoughts, copy them back in your mission pad. Why? Because any thoughts are quickly forgetten in the midst of the thought pad.

 Here we go, I hope those little words inspired you and you will know how to apply it.
Good luck in your journey

 Your sister, mlg

Ambivalent feelings about staying or leaving

Do you want to stay in one place and be rooted to ground yourself in a specific environment? Do you want to be leaving and go to different places to elevate yourself? Can you do both at the same time? Yes you can do both, do not ever think that where you are is static, the place is constantly changing and it is within the details that you can find new meaning for oneself and if this is not enough, plan time in and go to come back different..

How my relationship with capitalism is impacting my carbon footprint?

Published on Footpaths Leicester Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. My carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of my activities. My activities serve capitalism. They serve private owners for profit at the expense of natural resources and human beings. I am trapped and enslaved by capitalism, this is my relationship with it and it impacts dearly on my carbon footprint but also on my wellbeing and sense of belonginess. I am striving to strip myself away from capitalism. I refused to work for large corporate organisations. I refuse to consume excessively. I shop in charity shops, buy in bulk from the Wholefood Coop in Leicester, cycle to work, do not travel by plane. I try to save for some solar panels and an electric car, I try to repair what I own and try to engage others in changing behaviour through campaigning...

They become Perfect for themselves away from male gaze and standard of beauty they'll never reach. xxx-ooo
