Pimms Bliss..

Having a couple of drinks with friends can never be overrated.. If you need to rant and get a simultaneous response to a story of yours, the best way is to hit a place outside of your home and talk it over.. I tend to not bring  the ‘negative energy’ of petty arguments, misunderstandings and many other things that annoy me home.. It is a hard task.. But I want to leave my relaxing space of my living room to only good memories..

This is definitely what I needed.. A weekend to just eat, drink and shop.. And for the first time, I tried a very British summery drink of Pimms.. It brought a big smile to my face as I sipped it after a tiring day of walking and shopping.. I found true happiness in that moment..

Talking over the day we had spent with my friends.. Laughing about our memories in London.. Just generally nothing deep… No heated discussion about the future or our dislike of our current state.. Just enjoyment of what’s in front of us..

Pimms o’Clock?

Perhaps it was not really Pimms o’Clock when we had our drinks.. But when really is Pimms o’clock anyway? For us it’s all day long.. Personally, I found it a rather refreshing drink with a boost of tropical sweetness.. I am not a drinks expert so on the whole it satisfied my need of firstly, having something other than mojito and secondly, conquering my thirst..

Self-motivation; a climb to the mountain top

Learning to be happy from little things in life is key to our self-motivation.. The nice meal that you have after a hard day’s of work with a glass of wine.. Relaxing in front of the tv.. These are the daily pleasures that keep us going.. I have found my self-motivation hard to keep in the past couple of days.. Not having a plan for the near future does not keep things interesting like some may suggest.. There is always that risk of nothing actually happening.. Even though spontaneity is something I love, I also love certainty..

A) Spontaneity        B) Certainty

I am not talking about planing every second of everyday.. I want to be able to create the certainty using my spontaneity.. A spontaneous decision to go on holiday in two weeks time.. Booking tickets.. Getting ready.. that sort of thing..

The reason I am writing this article is that for the first time in my life, I am not excited about summer sales, going to the Spa or even a night out hints to me that I need to somehow ‘climb to the mountain top’ again and overlook all my options.. So I’ll be taking a couple of steps back and with an open mind figure out what I’ll be doing in the next couple of weeks..

First step obviously will be some retail therapy.. Online shopping mixed with some real bustling around in shopping malls… Then, organize some day outs; theatre nights, trying new restaurants, going to museums.. And lastly, I will make it my mission to do something I have never done before.. I’m not gonna go as far as saying doing sky diving.. But I have another mission on my mind.. Hopefully, I will try drive a super car in a race track.. Will let you know how that goes..

Self-motivation.. Let’s make ourselves feel happier..

Fighting against my eyelids..

My body and soul needs a holiday.. I no longer want to fight against my eyelids.. Keep myself awake with a dozen cups of coffee and late night chocolate rushes.. I want to be able to sleep whenever I want to.. Why not make the world a sleep safe sleep free place?

Sleep safe, sleep free

I am tired.. A sentence that we often utter to express our discomfort.. A discomfort that is usually caused by lack of sleep.. Is it just me or does world seem to go on slow motion mode when we are exhausted? I wish it was the same case when we were on holiday.. An elongated stay at a small boutique hotel by the sea with nothing to bother you..

I don’t like alarm clocks.. Rush hours.. And especially, getting out of bed..

Im off to bed.. Night Night..

Road trip to sanity

A trip of a life time.. One that will rest and relax your soul and make you forget all your worries in your life.. Who wouldn’t want that? A road trip to sanity is what we need sometimes..  Sometimes departure itself is a start. Where we are headed may not always be the right direction however, we can be sure that at least for that moment we are not running away but momentarily calming down and letting go of what life has unexpectedly and sometimes unfortunately thrown at us. If we are lucky enough to know where we are heading, our arrival should be expected by others. By this, I mean the new arrival of a revived version of oneself. One that would surprise your adversaries and delight your friends and family.. And who stops you from making that decision to take that road trip? You are the worst enemy to yourself. Something to always remember. So, let your inner argument go and let’s take a journey..

This road trip could be like a pause button for your fast-paced lifestyle. A breath of fresh air. Dare yourself to be different. Even if it is just for a day.. Strip away from the stressful trio of technology (phone, emails, facebook). Forget the duo of morning triple latte and late night wine. And stop staring back at yourself in the mirror thinking I look tired/old/ugly. Just for a day.. Maybe a Sunday..

So What?

You may say.. And you could be right.. I dare you to find out..

Ageing

The concept of ageing has always scared me in the sense that we always think our young days are or were the best ones.. Being reckless and doing whatever we want whenever we want.. Sounds like appealing doesn’t it? No real worry of what life may bring..

This fear of adding another number to my age every year has now ceded thanks to life itself. The things that I used to worry about I no longer think important and the life that I always envisaged for myself is one that does not fulfill my current desires..

I don’t see a real need in writing a long article to express my feelings at this point in time.

Simply, be thankful for the people in your life, thankful for your health, thankful for that momentary smile, thankful for the fact that you can actually see your laptop.. Thankful for all the things that you have taken for granted. And stop pitying yourself for your past failures and mistakes; some of which you may think you didn’t deserve or meant…

And..

Have a happy ageing everyone..
