The best time to plant a tree is today

A company, one that tries to build a sustainable world by sharing its sustainable values can ever only exist online, remotely or in the mind of the dreamers. This company has to grow and connect in order to create a virtuous cycle of opportunities. To build a garden is to believe in tomorrow. [Today with the Crop Club , we are at Bom Bom Patisserie in Loughborough creating a garden]

Paying attention to details to fight boredom and increase productivity

Packing my violin notebook in my bag, a student came in ready to have half an hour session of violin tutorial, tutor and student started to discuss how last week practice went. the tutor asked:  'how is the practice going?, the student answered: 'it is ok but it was becoming boring'. The tutor responded 'this is interesting, it will be worth contemplating this feeling and pay more attention to details to move through it'. It resonated. I started to think about all the tasks that I find boring and wonder if there were some details I could put attention to keep the momentum and thirst for learning more. What started like a small thoughts became a Ahaha moment. The following day became highlgy productive. I gamified details, obtained new insights and time flew. Could it help you too?

Press the publish button

Did you have many thoughts going through your head today and yet no idea what you could possibly write. You had the thought to possibly draft something and publish tomorrow. NO, there is always something worth sharing. This is what in my dry-spell, I came up with: [ - Living in Leicester? , learn the violin with Suzuki Violin instructor Zina Zelter, my main Footpaths partner in reducing carbon footprint. - Mindfulness in the making. ] [ - Transition Leicester is still alive - Ask me, I'll tell you ] [- OnlyWorn and Leicester Fixers discussing T-shirts, do you want to know more? ] [ - There will be some sewing repair at the next restart party in Leicester - 6th May - check facebook page] [ I dreamt of being a business/academic/fashion/laissez faire/actress - somewhere in my heart, there is a thirst to be on the stage somewhere in Broadway]

What to do when someone avoid you? write them a blogpost

I have been asking myself this question a number of times and I still cannot answer it, so I decided to write a blog post. You see I have some dreams through my head on which I try to work on everyday. Each dream gets attention. I have to, if not they will never become reality. Sometimes, I meet people who hop along and we agree together to make one of those a shared reality. I keep working on it everyday without fail. I send an email to my dream sharers, two, three, give them a call, once, twice. Some do not answer. I think that they are busy and they will. They probably have too many dreams to attend to. Maybe they are ill. There is something that they do not agree with but they do not have the skills to express their concerns to me and they are still figuring it out. It is fine. As long as they tell me After some time with no answer, I get slightly annoyed. They are avoiding me and I cannot do anything about it. It makes me feel like an idiot. It is hurful. It is u

Salsa fix

Do you need a salsa fix? The music, the sounds, the possibility to release all emotions and to connect with other people without the need of words, status and title. For few hours, Time stands still. You forget about yesterday, you forget about tomorrow. Now is the moment. Then the last song comes. It is the thank you song. You are grateful for all.

The best time is

Now. Today is a beautiful day to be out in the sun. In a minute, I'll take my tools and shape a bright new world. Soon, it will be night and all will be a dream bringing the past and the future together.

Who are we seeking to become - Thx Seth

Seth Godin asked '' Who are we seeking to become '' in his new blog post today. The article resonated with me as I am doing a small experiment recording the time I spend on certain activities, pushing my boundaries to ultimately get a reward after spending a certain amount of time on them. My reward is an ultimate form of indulgence which not control can overtake my life... It is working - my mind is more focused, wanders less. The carrot is too appetizing for me to give to give up. I cannot actually wait to get it. In the long run, I will be transformed. My future self will thank for me for that. This is what I want each minute that passes...

Stuck, Trapped, Imprisoned

Have you ever experienced the feeling of being stuck, trapped, imprisoned? The feelings that you are not where you are supposed to be and yet you cannot get out, not yet. You have to keep it on your stride and keep going. All you want to go is home - somewhere where it all makes more sense. You stuck your head in the sands trying to fit in an environment that you just do not like , yet you do it for the sake of status...to tell others that you did it, you saw, experienced, hated it, yet you've done it. You tell yourself that it is the last time you trap yourself and before you know it you repeat the same mistakes all over... How to break the pattern? Redefine the experience...

Stop Binge Watching, Escape for real

A decision has been made to deal with few addictions. One is netflix. I decided to transform my addiction to binge watch TV as an opportunity for growth. I'll reward myself with watching my favourite series after completing a number of hours of chores or more specifically necessary work. I am aware that Netflix and any other form of addiction is an opportunity to escape from the harsh boring reality of being bound to a box somewhere in a building behind another box when I would like to be outside to feel the sunshine on my skin. I am aware that Netflix and any other form of addiction is an opportunity to escape from the harsh boring reality that I live in the United Kingdom and that there is no sunshine everyday. Yet, if I want to go somewhere with the sunshine and work in a place where I can be a bit more outside, I need to finish my thesis. there is no other way around it. So I am rewarding myself to face my reality for a number of hours in order to escape in a dream wo
