We write our stories.
Some may have a happy ending.
Some may not.
But they're all our stories.
Happy New Year,
dear readers. ;)

"Tejer los sueños", un poema de Lourdes Vicente.
Ilustración de Gervasio Troche
Tejer los sueños.
Se
puede soñar
En un
abrir y cerrar de ojos
Pero
los sueños
Los
que merecen la pena
Se
tejen con los ojos despiertos
Sin
prisas
Sin
pausas
Enhebrando
momentos
Anudando
tropiezos
Se
puede soñar
Pero
no se pueden perseguir los sueños
Los
sueños se tejen
Se
crean
A
mano
Y
después
Uno
Se
arropa
Con
ellos
Feliz Nochebuena 2016

Blue sky.
If your mind has slowly become a prison, watch this:
It's all about how we react to our thoughts either with acceptance or with resistance.
* acceptance : willingness to tolerate a difficult situation https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/acceptance
* resistance: the refusal to accept or comply with something https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/resistance
"It's not about creating the blue sky. It's already here."
What do you think ? Too naive? Wise?
Don't get too obsessed by the clouds.
Find a little bit of calm in your life.
I'm learning too.

"Against the odds"
Uncertain but possible.
Run. Run. Run.
;-)
* against the/all odds = contra todo pronóstico
Living in uncertainty.
We usually tend to avoid unpredictability
as dealing with life in uncertainty might be stressful
but
uncertain times are part of our lives
so we'd better adjust ourselves.
We don't have all the answers so
calm down and breath.
(Illustrator: Sara Herranz)
Don't get trapped in a cycle of negative thinking.
Live in the moment.
Make the best of it.
Even the longest night comes to an end.

Ane Brun. Feeling Good.
Lyrics
Birds flying high you know how I feelSun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the trees you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Love yourself, unconditionally.

Do we truly know how to love ourselves ?
Loving yourself has to do with:
* Self-acceptance
* Self -awareness
* Kindness and respect for ourselves
* Stopping your inner critic telling you 'You're not enough'
Self love is at the core of wellbeing and our ability to enjoy life that's why it's so important.
Feelings of lack are never-ending.
Love yourself,
unconditionally.
We are in charge of our lives.

"In Between"/ Dealing with fears.
"You're suffering from crocodile" = "Usted padece cocodrilo"
To think about:
* What do you think the crocodile portrays ?
( Shyness/ Anxiety/Others?)
* How do you think she copes with her fear ?
(Identifying the problem ? Accepting it? Letting it go ? Others?)
* How do you personally face similar problems?
portray = representar, retratar
to cope with= hacer frente a
to face= enfrenterse a
Keep learning. Keep blogging. I'm back. :-)

Adaptation.
In every process of adaptation we need to be flexible, 'shapeless',
like water.
“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” - Bruce Lee

Cooking up trouble.
Guess what mum says when she appears in the park:
' I can't leave you alone for one minute !'
Seligman's PERMA.
Some ideas I found quite inspiring at a speech given by Simon Ward a week ago.
Have a positive start of the week you all .
