Monthly Meetup For Women: Share Your Story, Make Real Connections📍Malmö, Sweden
I wish I could have BEEN tHERE with you all!
It seems that it was proFOUNDly experienced.
I decided to spEND the EVEning with my family instead.
Here is WHY.
*
People, someTIMEs, ask me how I can juggle career WISE & BEING creative simultaneously.
WELL, as a matter of fact.
I DOn’t.
I simply CAN’t.
Multi TASKing is not my thing.
I tried to multi tASK for mANY years.
With very POOR results, or no results at all when it comes to well BEING & WHOLEness.
So, I stopped DOING it.
*
These days, I do one thing at a time.
& when I do THAT very thing, I want to do it WELL.
As SIMPLE as tHAT.
*
It is a MATTER of choices & priorities.
I DOn’t spend as much time on social media scrROLLing through otHER’s posts & likes ANYlonger.
I DOn’t watch TV or any series.
I DOn’t spend a lot of money or TIME on clothes, accessories or JEWELlery.
*
My TIME EVOLVES aROUND FAMILY, friENDs, ZUMBA, Being CREATIVE & Work. These THEMes are the corner stones in which I REALly want to EXCEL.
& the ORDER is exactly so.
No. 1. FAMILY
No. 2. FRIENDS
No. 3. Zumba
No. 4. BEING Creative
No. 5. Work
*
These days, my MAIN priority is to spEND as much time possibly with my FAMILY. The next important thing is to be able to CREATE & shARE e my work & JOURney with the rest of the world.
I HAVE my own STUDIO in my BASEment.
I have a PEN & a PIECE of paper.
I have MY computer.
Then I use WORD to write & do the layOUT.
& I have a printer.
That is ALL I need to be happy. I’M HAPPY.
*
My only DEFAULT MODE has been, alWAYS more, nEVER good enough, a little more…
I used to work till I stooped.
I no longer stoop.
I no longer prioritize work as I used to.
RatHER, I CHERISH, value & take pleaSURE in celebrating eVERY step of the WAY with a nudge of excitement for EVERYthing I still AM yet to lEARN.
*
This, in combiNATION in me landing my DREAM job I SEE things CLEARer.
I am not in a hurry as I used to BE.
I underSTAND, now, that I used to MISS out on imPORTant deTAILs, things that would enhance my Work.
*
I FEEL appreciated, seen & valued at my work place.
I TAKE great PRIDE & a sense of BELONGing to the GREATER GOOD with what I do.
I GET to lEARN from my seniors.
My MAIN concern is not my work tasks but rather the WELL BEING of my colleugues & of our interNATIONal students that spEND their forTUNE on studying at Malmö universitet .
In ADDition, I have a whole bunch of colleagues who celebRATE my Creative Endeavors. I FoUND a way to use it as a MOTOR, DRIVE & strive in my work, as WELL.
*
FAMILY, Creative Endeavours & having a job position that SEEMingly & most surpriSINGly fit my EDUCATION, my work experience, my view of life & CORE values. That PRETTY much sums it up.
It is as it is TAILOR MADE for me, my personality & where I AM in LIFE.
*
But lastly, let’s celebRATE our COMMUNITY & come last Thursday of March BUT more imPORTantly last Thursday of April when we celebrATE two year anniversary.
*
See you there ?
