•REST• Pick your battles.  💫"Choose your •REST• Pick your battles.  💫"Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn't measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It's not winning battles that makes you happy, but it's how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go." (C. JoyBell C.) 🔺️There are those days that you feel unbeatable and unstoppable  🔺️There are those days that you feel extremely inspired and motivated  and  🔻There are also those days that you need to stop, understand what went wrong, reflect, rest and start again. 🙏🏻As long as you are healthy, you can do ANYTHING... just at the right time 😉 Put a heart below if you practice on picking your battles wisely 👇🏻 🧡 🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️ A personal journey: A 3m 360° LED rope, the marble and I, experimenting, imagining, feeling, reflecting.

Dare to fail.  ❌Nobody is able to clip your wings unless you stand in your own way… 💪Honesty, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain!!! 💁🏻‍♀️Today my good friend Kyriaki said something that ;stuck with me. "There is no manual when you start a business". Exactly!!! 💯 You will make mistakes, you will learn, you will fail, you will get better, and you will also be independent, you will grow, you will smile, you will celebrate your wins and feel fulfilled. 💫“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly”. (John F Kenned) 💫“Until you spread your wings, you will have no idea how far you can fly”.

🤯STUCK VS 🥰UNSTUCK Have you recently felt s 🤯STUCK VS 🥰UNSTUCK Have you recently felt stuck in a certain field of your life? ✅First of all, acknowledge that this is absolutely fine! 🙋🏻‍♀️I have been so harsh with myself the last few years trying to do everything in the right way... In the "perfect" way... 🤬 👇🏻I read this text today and it brought me a smile😊, and thought to add it here. Let me know what you feel about it (in the comments or private message). ▫️“IF you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep - you are richer than 75% of the world. ▫️IF you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy. ▫️IF you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week. ▫️IF you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation, you are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering. ▫️IF you can read this message you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read it at all. ❌We are so used to drowning in our problems, thinking that we are the center of the universe, and forgetting to see the bigger picture. 💪Let’s focus more on what we have rather than on what we don’t.

Daylight or Artificial light. I love this prismatic semi transparent object and I take it everywhere I go. It's a kind of meditation for me since the beginning of the pandemic 🧘🏼‍♀️ This Experimentation connects me with the present moment, triggers my curiosity and makes me focus to one thing.
