Hi! welcome to my puja page. I want some things in my life to change. Most of all how I feel. I am often very tired and drained, while physically I do not have any major health problems. So I have set myself a goal and writing about it will hopefully help me. A puja is a personal little temple in which you place things you want to happen and create in your life. Usually I am very much of a loner and an 'insider' so sharing this so out and open does meet a lot of my resistance. But here is to change! The oh so very welcome change! Can I be more vulnerable and open? Let's go see what happens!

Here we go!

 inspiration from the Cafe Gratitude

This is it. I am a bit scared, because usually I tend to keep to myself quite a lot. Especially about all the not so nice stuff about me. I have good days and bad days. And the can follow each other very rapidly and be totally on the other side of the spectrum. I am done with wondering if this is normal. Because who cares? I mean, really... what is the difference to label it as normal or not? Fact of the matter is that this is how it is and I want it to change. That is all that matters.

So, how am I going to change this?

Good question.

I do not have a real answer, but what I do know, is that I need to change and shift a few basic things in my life.

  1. I need better quality of sleep because so many nights I don't sleep well and I usually feel absolutely and totally knackered, worn out etc. This makes me snappy, irritated, negative and oh my god, what about the dark never ending circles around my eyes!
  2. I need to create more quality time for myself. Basicly all is covered in this department, but I often can't get away frommy bloody computer and totally waste my time doing nothing lifesavingly important
  3. I need to set up a daily routine (this I will write about below my list of things)
  4. I need to create a puja, even though I tend to be a little allergic to these sort of things. Let's cut the crap and just do it! 
  5. I need to write about this all. I hope that this will help me to continue and not slowly let it die like so many other things I have done so far
Shaping up my Daily Routine;
Okay, first of all, I am a mother of a 3,5 year old son. I am 3 months pregnant, have 2 dogs, live in the city, teach yoga a couple of hours a week and I also work as a freelance marketeer. I live together with the daddy of my kids and he has a beautiful beard. We do all the housework ourselves and no, I do not at all enjoy doing housework kind of stuff. But aay, it has got to be done. Maybe I should put the wish for a really nice and good help around the house in my new puja? And then there's friends, family and ofcourse, Estudio Espanol! And workshops and courses I do.

So, basicly, I'd like to say I have got a pretty busy life. But who doesn't these days? And especially because of this I need a routine. Even though I HATE routines, always have. Maybe that's the answer to all of my wishes? Probably so!

Okay, Daily Routine:
  • I want to start and end the day with a moment of being thankful/grateful
  • spend time every day focusing on my puja; what are my dreams, what do I want. Seeing myself living the life I want. 
  • Eating and drinking more healthy (I do this already, but I want to include a lot more raw food to my diet)
  • more exercise to heat up my system and burn all that has got to go (I tend to do yoga a lot on my own, but it is always very relaxing and not making me sweat)
  • meditate daily 
So there you have it. It is out now.

Today I've started with being grateful, thinking about what I want in my life and meditating. I have created a digital puja, but the real one will have to wait till tonight (so boyfriend with a beard can drill some holes in the wall). I have the ingredients for a raw shake. Kale really?? eww, but we will see in a short while if I like it or not!

And exercise! ehm yes. I  will do an Elena Brower class on Yogaglo as soon as I push the 'publish post' button to forever post this blog, the start of a vital and satisfied me!
