    Priming in the morning

     

    Good evening! I feel as I should be more tired but I have all this energy. Think its because I am more and more often starting my days with something called Priming. I have talked about this before, basically its 3 steps to be executed first thing in the morning, in order to set the “tone” of your day:

    Part One – Breathing exercise
    Part Two – Thee X gratitude
    Part Three – Three to thrive

    I will try and explain all this in more details when I have more time! Otherwise Google “Tony Robbins – morning ritual”

    Ambrose just came home with some camping stuff. We are driving to Snowy mountains for some hikes and to try and catch the snow during the Easter holidays. Crazy Australian chasing snow, where I come you try to hide from it hahaha!
    No Im joking, I actually love snow, think it makes every scenery magical somehow. Here is such a cute picture from one of our road trips a couple of years ago. Ambrose had made a snowman (think his first snowman in his life) And he is so proud 🙂

    biiizzzziiii monday

    Wow, I might actually been jinxing it when I yesterday did my voodoo prediction that summer is over! Shit how cold it was today when I went out. Even our apartment is freezing. It has been a busy day over here. Learning about shares and funds in the morning, gym, get groceries, organizing stuff at the bank, studying, answering emails for all the volunteering I’ve been contacting, big cleaning of the house, making dinner…….Now I am in bed with thick socks watching learning videos on portfolio’s. Sleep tight little pumpkins.

    Perhaps the last sunny sunday

     

    Hello 🙂
    We tried our best to seize what might be one of the last sunny summer days before winter reaches Sydney. After a big breakfast we headed to first Manly to snorkel with some friends. That plan went to shit because of the crazy traffic. Second attempt, Clovelly! We drove around 40 minutes to get a parking spot. How we did? Well, a Sunday with sun in Sydney….not a fat chance in hell to get a spot! Right about when Ambrose almost wanted to turn around and drive home we decided to check out Bondi. And Yeay we got a spot so spent a couple of hours swimming, sunbathing and people-watching which was great. Not alot of time I get to spend time with Ambrose at the beach. Sure we are at the beach alot together but he is ALWAYS surfing and I get left there in the big waves on my own hahaha.
    After we went for a walk at Rushcutters Bay. I never been there, such an pretty place for a picnic if anyone wants to have one of those. But hurry up, winter is coming to Sydney soon!

    Stockholm

    Tried my best to take a picture of the sunset while we were driving. Did not make it justice..

    Weekend so far. Friday night we drove to Newtown for Lez’s 30th surprise dinner. It was an Italian restaurant and we all enjoyed a 5 course amazing dinner. After we went back to their house where everyone continued enjoying all the whisky bottles he got for his birthday. I did not drink, decided to drive that night. But I tried Orange Wine at the restaurant, never had that before.
    Today we drove up the coast since Ambrose needed to vote and had forgot to change his “voting address” or something After that we drove to visit Rachel and the best human being alive – Xavier. Had a sushi lunch with Anastasia and then a quick visit to see Ambrose dad. We went to see some apartments that are being built in that area, some of them look pretty nice. Who knows, maybe that’s where we buy…

    I decided to spend the shortest amount of time on that awful thing that happened in Stockholm-my hometown, yesterday. And the reason is that I rather not spent any energy even writing about it. Why? Because I don’t even want those horrible people to be part of my site. I want this to be a place of positive, loving and kind energy. But I will say this, I spent half of last night texting friends and family, searching FB for “I am safe” status and I had a big lump in my throat. So far away from so many people that means the world to be, and that could be in possible danger because of some random loser. That was not a nice feeling. I cannot begin to imagine how those who lost a loved one yesterday must be going trough now. I just wish them peace of mind, maybe not today or tomorrow but as soon as humanly possible.

    Here are some pictures from our weekend. Again, that Australian sky!

    Working with children check

    Today I have been running around town like a maniac trying to solve what they call a ” Working with Children Check”. Its a check thing they do on you to see if you have no dodgy past so you can work/interact with children here in Australia. I think its a great idea, would not want it to be any other way with all the creeps, psychos and pedophiles running around BUT, did they have to be such complicated asholes when they do your check. I literately run in and out 3 times from that NSW Service office today because everytime I got back, they told me they needed some some ID proof or my name on my bankcard did not match my passport. Or my lease was not exactly the same as bla bla bla bla!!!
    What was suppose to be an easy, fun in and out visit to the city turned out to be stressful as hell. I went in at 9:30 and did not come back until 4 in the afternoon. 4!!!
    For this piece of, well its not even paper hahah, what should I call it…receipt.

    Well its all good now. I sent out some mails to a couple of volunteering positions and got an kind of “interview” for Friday at 2pm. Yeay! And we finished the night by having some of Ambrose friends come by at night to help us finish the giant birthday cake. Still some left…..GAH!

    My day just got better!

    Monday is here! I tried to sleep in but just tossed and turned in bed for a while. Then I tried looking at stuff on my phone, something I tough myself never to do when I just woke up. But still could not shake off that unsettling feeling I had. So I ate breakfast while watching an episode of The Vampire Diaries. Then I hit the road, I cannot run because of my injuries but I can walk and I did. A long long walk, its started raining, I hid under one of these giant trees they have here in Australia. Still after all these years here they still are amazing to me.

    And then I walk home to THIS surprise. A giant birthday cake, its from my family in Barcelona. I cannot thank you guys!! It made my day 🙂 And the best is that is huge hahah!
    I haven’t tasted it yet, waiting for Ambrose to get home. I’m gonna make dinner and then its fiesta! My plan is to celebrate my birthday again today with that cake:)

    Today was a sucky day and I cant even explain how much it means to me to have you guys in my life…
    Thank you mami,Enric, Hanie & Jasmin!

    Tacos

    I’m lying in bed drinking ginger tea because I feel something is going on inside my body. So ginger is my secret granny remedy whenever I feel a bit sick. Its Friday and Ambrose made us a very tasty taco dinner, this time with chicken and a proper guacamole Mmmm! Rest of today has been good, studied ALL day. I am now determined to finish reading ” NLP for Dummies” I know I know, but this NLP stuff is really hard! Anyway, another good thing is that I met a girl from our building that I really liked and we accidentally bumped into each other at a coffeshop later that day. We got to talk for a while and I dont want to say much yet but we came up with some good potential ideas. We are meeting next Monday to take it further 🙂

    I always think of my cousin Samira when I have Taco’s hahah we used to hate that she had this weird thing to make tacos for 12 people when it was only 4 or 5 of us. Remember how irritated we all used to get of this, and that she always ate so fast when we had tacos hahaha. Sounds funny now. Her f´favorite food are tacos and pancakes. Non of us wanted to eat those dishes with her ahahaha poos Samira, miss her alot! She would love Australia.
    Here are some pictures of us one summer in Stockholm. Photographer is the talented, best (better than most actually 🙂 ) Hanie at  http://www.hanievaladi.photography/

    last few days from my phone..

    These last few days in pictures. Snapchat and looking at the sky has always been two things I do when I relax a just hand out at home. Now I found myself with repeatedly going for this new drink (well its new to me) Think its called Tumeric Latte and its as strange as it is tasty. And healthy! Ever since I had my little heart things I try as much as I can to stay away from coffee. Witch sucks penises because I love coffee even though its a drug, bad for you bla bla bla. I have a coffee now and then, I just added this Tumeric Latte situation into my life.

    Its hot coconut milk, grated tumeric, grated ginger and cinnamon. Its all fair trade and organic.
    I get it at www.aboutlife.com.au
    Love that place.
    That is one of my goals, to have as much as possible of the products I consume to be organic and fair trade.

    Now to something else, this morning after a short but incentive workout I found this guy called  Brendon Burchard on Youtube. He is the author of “The Motivation Manifesto”, a book I never heard of BUT that’s not relevant. I was speaking to my sister and we were agreeing that its more vital to actually DO and ACT out in our daily lives everything we learned so far instead of just continuing reading without putting it into action.
    I just wanted to share one short video from this Brandon guy where he recommends some pointers on: How To Stay Focused. Its simple, as everything great is BUT it inspired me a little so here you have it:
