Last four months have been full of learning new, planning the future, finding out about possibilities and determining what I will be when I’m adult. I’m not sure if I will ever be fully grown, but it’s not so important after all. I had dreams when teenager, then I lost those dreams into surviving mode, and now I’ve gained more vivid and colorful dreams and learnt to manifest those.

For years I was so uncertain about my abilities, what I’m really capable of. I allowed my surroundings to take away my power. It happens so easily when you are not aware of your abilities and skills, you start to believe what you are told. Like small children who were told that they are specially talented and they started performing accordingly, the same way we start to believe the opposite. Even when we see that it’s not correct, we are still adjusting into it.

To be able to break free from old beliefs and prejudices, it’s good to practice some mindfulness, meditation or yoga. Mind needs some grounding to peak it’s creativity. The main thing is not to clear mind from thoughts but to observe those thoughts from a distance. To let them evolve and find their way and finally rest. I have found it especially powerful to guide the mind with the body. For example I have done breath excercises, calmed down body in the heat of sauna, floated on the surface of water in a pool or sat in a swing. Peaceful rythm helps mind to calm down and forget stressful things, and finally produce a solution. Sometimes it’s not a big move that makes the biggest impact but a series of smaller steps.

And back to the headline. My dream was to be a teacher, to change the world into a better place and help people around the world. And look where I’ve ended up! I’m so grateful for all the knowledge i have gathered, for all the experiences I have come through and all the people I have had pleasure to meet. All of this has molded me into a person I am today. And that person is ready and willing to serve the humankind.

With peaceful thoughts, Joana
