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 world for a couple of hours at times until I can finally escape....

Finding a partner in the making

I love working on projects. I love working with others. When I started to be a volunteer coordinator for Positive Money in Leicester, I wanted to find a partner to create some events on the theme of money. This person had to be reliable, trustworthy and hard working.  I did not find the person through the various meetings and events which I organised or participated in. The individuals I have met were not there to collaborate in the way I wanted. They were looking to gain other social benefits. Eventually, one person revealed herself to be the right partner whilst I was volunteering to support her own scheme: Footpaths, a carbon footprint reduction community-based programme . I run some sessions with her as a co-facilitator. Through our preparation meetings, I shared my vision for Positive Money in Leicester and our two worlds merged. Since then, we are partners. Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Kidnapper?

A kidnapper is a person who abducts someone and holds them captive, typically to obtain a ransom. There are many kidnappers in one life. Those who love you may be you holding you captive until all is gone. Your work is too taking away your childhood dream so you can keep running on the treadmill. A tree is too, it gives you air. Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.

Welcome to Social Activator

The purpose of this blog is to log thoughts on social activism, design, marketing and community building as well as to review of fantastic projects within the community which strive to create spaces for people to share knowledge, skills, abilities and fun. My vision is for everyone to come to the recognition that they are social activator. They are change agents. They can create opportunities for other to find their own space in this world to create a better present for themselves but also for others. We are all activators. I have plenty of ideas on how this blog will be run. I will probably start where I am now in the UK, Leicester before expanding my reach. I will write down all those ideas and then structure my thoughts before moving to my next action. I keep you posted!
