So, what is better – to dream all your life about some beautiful faraway country and never get there, or to immerse into the ocean of impressions, which are available right now? It is just the question of creativity.


So, in the following chapters I will share impressions of my 30-day adventure, based on the photos and text of my Instagram posts.

A few words about myself: I am a 37 years old Russian mom of two kids (4 and 2 years old), living in Yekaterinburg. I am married to a super-patient hero. We have no assistance with kids and household, so everything is run by me and my husband. I have a blog on Instagram (@natasha_idi), where I share the insights from books I’ve read. You can subscribe, and, although the texts are written in Russian, you can always hit the «translate» button under the post and get the notion of what it goes about.

Ok, off we go with the Challenge reports!

DAY 1


«Some doors are forever closed, while others open in the most unexpected places» (TV series «Game of Thrones»)

I joined Assel’s 30-day challenge @assel_happiness)

The idea of challenge is to try something new every day, and then write about my feelings.

So, my task for today is to 2X-slow down my usual speed of doing things. To do everything 2 times slower.


Oh, if you only knew what kind of f… challenge it is for me! But I said to myself: «Whatever I manage today- is enough, even if it is just small things.» Anyway, I always can catch up tomorrow.


By the way, today I’ve recorded a new episode of the Teitelbaum’s book «The Complete Guide to Beating Sugar Addiction». Today I was speaking slower than usual, and this is also not easy).


So, I am reporting from the image of «Natakha-the-Turtle»: daylight is coming to an end. Slowing down is difficult. As if a mad racehorse is trying to dash somewhere, and you tell to this horse: «You are not a Horse, you are a Turtle today.» And the inner Horse says: «Whaaaat?»

Sometimes I forget and slide into the usual «frantic electric broom» mode.

INSIGHTS:


1. Slowly – does not mean «inefficient». It simply means giving your body more time to adequately respond to brain impulses.

2. You are taught what acceptance is, while practicing the slow-mo: accepting my choice to do it exactly as I chose. It is about the acceptance of the natural flow of events.
