    Essentialism

    27.08.2019 /

    After I discovered the minimalism as my (desired) way of living, it was just a matter of time to come across the other closely related philosophy: the essentialism. Greg McKeown as its main ideologist shares details in a great deal of interviews and with great sense of humor, but I liked the presentation below, because I find it interesting how you can apply essentialism not only as a person, but as a professional and a company, too. Some of the ideas: The disciplined pursuit of less but better every 90 days: what is important to me? -> 1-2 hours weekly planning around that is this going to serve my highest…

    When being in a not-particularly-productive-period, it’s always a little miracle to come across with such a personal, inspiring, meaningful and empowering interview. Thank you, Marie. *photo image is a video still, copyright belongs to its rightful owners

    Minimalism

    08.12.2018 /

    The more the consumer hysteria and information cacophony around me grow, the more I am interested in the minimalism as a way of life. I recently added the youtube channel of Matt D’Avella and started to return to the ideas of drastic clearing and releasing everything (and I mean everything) unnecessary. This concept has been close to my heart for years. I am one of those OCDs who regularly throw out and rearrange, otherwise I would not be able to function normally. I am a fan of minimalism in architecture, interior, fashion and things in the wardrobe, devices and relationships. I am terrified of the obsession with goods, the compulsive…

    Women.Speak.Live 2018 conference

    23.11.2018 /

    Last year, for the first edition of Women.Speak.Live., Aneta Savova invited me to be one of the presenters and I spontaneously said ‘yes’. But then some personal stories unfolded, had travels abroad for medical examinations, so I had to cancel my participation. This year Ani invited me for a second time and I couldn’t say ‘no’ to her. To be honest, both times my stomach clenched – reactions like ‘what will I say to these kind people there’ and similar inner barriers. But apparently I had reached a stage where I absolutely realized I needed to go out of my comfort zone thus I stamped my foot and I told myself…

    “The Woman I Created”

    19.11.2018 /

    I started reading Aneta Savova’s book on a sunny November Sunday, immediately after Women.Speak.Live Forum where I had bought it. With cup of hot coffee in my hand and background of fragrance of apple cake with cinnamon I had just put into the oven. From the first pages I was enveloped by a feeling of peacefulness and authenticity which (I know as a person who had been writing for years) comes when you express yourself in written words and share your personal story… The way we communicate today due to the constant rushing, the huge amounts of information for processing and discussing almost doesn’t allow us to go below the…
