Stuck in the loop?

At some point you feel the days are the same and every day is just like the day before.

You keep doing the same things over and over again. A nightmare. You feel compelled to do something that does not give you satisfaction. Why do you always force yourself to do the same when you really want to have a joyful life? It's simple: the power of repetition is huge.

Thanks to routines and habits, we often do things automatically. The daily routine, such as brushing your teeth or taking a shower just happen and you don't need to think about the process. As long as there is no pressure of suffering that makes life difficult for us, we will not change anything. It is human nature. We only look for a change when it hurts.

Everything is the same. It’s boring, isn’t it?

The problem with thinking about routine as boring, is that it can make us heavy. 

The good news is that those small changes can have a huge impact. It's just about doing something differently than usually. It wakes up your brain and body. It helps you to see the world differently. If you do nothing, life will decide for you.

Real life, real changes. 

If you find yourself struggling to create the changes you want in your life, start by visualising what that change will bring you (i.e. why do you want to make the shift in the first place), then try to figure the smallest way in which you can nudge the needle in that direction. You’ll be surprised how easily small actions can lead to big shifts. When you start small than when you aim big first.

Need some inspiration? 

I used to be afraid of repetition. A restless feeling that drives me again and again is the longing for freedom. Wanderlust. This longing has determined my life since my early youth. It has fired my engine and pulled me out into the world. It has driven me to free myself. Since I realized that traveling is my life and my life is the journey I have always dreamed of.

Travelling has the power to change your life in many ways. Unfortunately travels are difficult at this time, due to the current circumstances and temporary restrictions. There is always a possibility to change the point of view and experience the world differently. There is endless variety of forms, directions and roads in myself that lead to wellbeing. Getting the experience of unique places in the world and translating them into painting. Paintings come to life. I go from one painting to another, from one mountain to another. After every mountain I'm a different one. Every painting repeats itself and it is always a new experience. The repetition brings back what was and I would like to save it from being forgotten. If you don't repeat yourself, you forget. Just because I keep repeating what was, I understand the past and I have the chance to embrace the present.  The repetition saves memories and open for the future.

The repetition gives stability. I need stability in order to be able to move freely and safely in life. I need to move in order to feel differently and to get a change of different perspective.

No matter what it is ... Everything always starts with a desire. A thought arises and the wish is born. Sometimes you can fulfil it quickly, sometimes you will carry it with you all your life and be able to fulfil it.

Today is a good day to make a change.
