take care of yourself my dear...



This video is about a girl who has rejected love, seeking to stay unattached & free - but love is actually freedom of the heart - & her love, all solitary, dies -

In search of freedom we think we need to be set free, but in truth we must seek what really holds us to this life. We need to appreciate our own roots, our own presence in this world. To set yourself free is to truly appreciate who you are and feel free of any discomfort.

If you're looking for your own self, ask what are the things you love to feel.
Practice them. Practice a good life...

Simple facts:

Before we can be good spiritual beings, we need to be good animals. That means:
- getting enough sleep;
- eating well
- exercising your body;
- taking it easy...

Excessive adrenaline, being constantly frenetic is harmful to you.
Find your own rhythm.

Get out of loopy thoughts, rumination in a bad mood is very toxic to yourself.
If you're in a bad mood, go out and do something to change your mood. Try a walk or a run.

Breathing is another way to change your mood.
"Fear is excitement without the breath"
Imagine you're blowing out some candles... pfffffffff
Blow out some steam ; )

We have no power to control the outcome of what we plant in our garden, but doing our best will surely bring us beautiful fruits and flowers...

Because:
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi

... desapontamento.

O que é abster-se? Porquê abster-se? Que desapontamento, porque apesar de terem direito, de terem a liberdade de escolher, tanta gente não escolhe e deixa os outros escolherem por elas.

Que desapontamento, que o mesmo homem que não consegue brincar com uma criança, nem ser verdadeiro provando-se espontâneo e genuíno, tenha voltado ao seu trono.

Precisamos tanto de alguém que não pense por nós mas pelos nossos pequeninos, que de consciência livre nos perguntam, mas porquê é que eles fazem se sabem que é errado, ninguém ralha com eles??

A diferença e a prova do meu descontentamento: "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." Baraka Obama

And from the same man:

"People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better."


"I wish this country had fewer lawyers and more engineers."

Momentum...

The Ego either wants to live in the Past, regretting what it could have done differently, or it lives in the Future, constantly afraid of what can happen. Don’t let it. Set yourself free. By now you’ll now what is it that you want: you’re probably thinking about it all the time, or you keep pushing it for later, or you keep it as a secret dream, as a secret wish.

“And so, for the sake of momentum
I'm condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.
Momentum - Aimee mann



Here’s a simple truth: without hard work, without commitment, without effort, you’re not getting anywhere you want.

So, live your dream, it’s inside of you. Every each day there’ll be new opportunities for you to succeed, but you really need to commit and work hard to get where you want.

Work hard towards your happiness and stop wasting time judging yourself or others.


Find what moves you, and act on it. Good luck for 2011.

  Learn about tolerance, patience, understanding, simplicity...


Enjoy nature, the ocean, share songs with friends, feel the sun or the warmth of a fire camp.
Feel grateful


Feel unconditional love for yourself, you're your own best friend. Be kind to you. Hug yourself.


Feel passionate! Hug, kiss, laugh! Not that many other things really matter. 

Feel the support of the people that love you, and share that. With a song, with a smile, with a hug.



 and work hard...

Gerês

Palavras para quê... o Gerês é uma região de Portugal que mantém a sua energia natural, e onde é possível imaginar reintegrar-nos com a natureza.

"O tempo foge..."

"O tempo foge..." e foge para onde, foge de quê?

A mudar alguns pensamentos e notas de uma agenda para outra, revejo o tempo que passou e os objectivos incumpridos. Os sucessos, estranhamente não são apontados na agenda (por certo estarei demasiado alegre a celebrar e sem tempo para escrever sobre eles...).

Muitos desenhos e pequenas histórias serão esquecidos na agenda antiga. Não vou arrancar as páginas e colá-las nas páginas em branco da agenda nova. Ficaria sem espaço para escrever coisas novas. Teria que viver com desenhos de momentos passados, desenhar por cima e isso não tem jeito nenhum, imagine-se a confusão. Custa deixar para trás esses desenhos bonitos, mas custa também carregar constantemente os livros e memórias que gostamos. Se calhar têm que ser arrumados num sítio especial, e só de vez em quando retirados, para lembrar que a "vida é bela", mesmo quando há um manto de núvens a tapar o sol.

E para os restantes pensamentos, fica esta musica...

InShadow Festival

Beautiful short movie directed by Ana Cembrero from Valencia, Spain

Described by the artists as an emotional journey, CINÉTICA, shows through the body the ambiguity of a real and imaginary world where a woman inhabits, searches, dances, fights or plays, without separating what is lived and what is dreamed.

to be free...

"It shouldn't hurt me to be free
It's what I really need
To pull myself together
But if it's so good being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don't know what to do with myself"
