This magical girl is celebrating beginning of a new turn around the sun todayAnd I can’t even tell you how blessed I am to be this girl’s sister . Every time I look at you I see this magical little girl and I don’t know how did you manage to keep her so intact Let this year be more like these pictures, let there be room for childlike playfulness and freedom to be yourself you are so beautiful. Your nature is so beautiful. Happy birthday I will always love you (thanks Whitney for the hymn of our sisterhood:)

The State of Independent Happiness. . Something has changed in me recently and I can’t even hide it. . I have discovered some amazing lightness. The lightness of being that is not unbearable (any Milan Kundera’s fans here?) but actually the lightness of being that I don't want to ever lose.... . Everything became so simple and free. . Or is it me who became free? . I talked to my classmate (my tribe) last night and said - I can’t believe that I am so ok with me being imperfect. . And she said - you know the word imperfect means that something is broken with you. And nothing is broken. Nothing is missing. What you are feeling now is that you are whole and content. . In complete honesty, if I was to compare my life to the societal standards right now, there is nothing perfect about it. . There are no guarantees, no safety nets, no amazing jobs , no promises, no six pack torso, no husband and no kids, no travels, no control over anything, do I need continue? . But. somehow all of that is ok. Now. . For the last several days I’ve been waking up every morning feeling the happiest I’ve ever been. . I stopped worrying altogether. . And I have to say that this feeling is informing my coaching practice and shaping up my intention to actually support other people in finding happiness within, independently from any external factors. . Why is this important? . because If you are the source of your own happiness then no one can take that away from you . . . . #selfdiscovery #selfdiscoverycoach #selfdiscoveryjourney #happinesswithin #truehappiness #beyourtrueself #lifecoachnyc #nyclifecoach #humanpotential #creativitycoach #lifebydesignnotbydefault #lifedesign #humanexperience #bnwportraits #becomingmyself #befreebeyou See more

You belong here. . I have recently come to realize that a big chunk of my life I’ve been feeling like an outcast, different, not fitting in a big picture. . I felt alone in a crowd, I felt alone in many relationships, felt that something was wrong with me, i felt the issue was in the way I see the world and that my view is distorted.... . I've been avoiding contacts with people, and last year when the resistance and tension inside me became unbearable I went inwards intentionally. . today I am happy to report that I have a better understanding of the problem. . What I’ve been missing was my tribe. And it’s not about having friends and family. Your friends and family don’t have to belong to the same tribe. You don’t always pick them based on the shared mission or values in life. . I think it makes perfect sense that yes, each one of us can be very strong and follow the heart and the goal and mission in life. But sharing this same path with others - is empowerment on steroids . I spent this past weekend at a workshop for life coaches with 60 ppl from all over the world and never in my life have I felt more loved and supported and accepted as I am. . all over sudden everything that I thought was wrong wiith me is perfectly fine, understood and accepted as Is . So honored and blessed to belong to this big community of people whose desire is to support others and help them be free. . Have you found your tribe in life yet? . . . . . #lifecoaching #lifebydesignnotbydefault #lifedesign #lifecoachnyc #lifecoachingnyc #humanpotential #hpi #humanpotentialcoach #humanpotentialinstitute #selfdiscoverycoach #creativitycoach #nyclifecoach #highachievers #highachiever #tribevibes #findyourtribe #belong #selfdiscoveryjourney #betruetoyourself #becomingme #selfdiscoveryblog #unlockyourpotential #findyourpurpose #findyourtrueself See more

Here comes the promised post about how I ensure to have time for everything . I have to share that ever since I started my journey into the world of life coaching the most common question that people ask during the coaching sessions is - how do I find time for everything . Sounds familiar, right?... . To keep this IG post short I actually wrote a blog post on my website describing my approach to planning specifically. (Link in Bio) . But here I want to note one very important observation . If you come in with a fear of not completing all of your tasks on the list this tells me that you are already feeling stressed out and worried . Hence, first, I’d address this feeling and try to come back to center and presence Here is why I say this . I’d say in 99% of cases the lack-of-time-anxiety comes from excessive overthinking(Surprise!) . Which then results in Your mind creating the non existent scenarios of you failing or not delivering results on time. And here we are - with the amount of stress skyrocketing through the roof . In my blog post a share 3 main tools I use for managing stress around planning and ensuring I feel that there is time for everything. . Drop a comment below and let me know if you feel like you have time for everything or if you feel overwhelmed with your to-do lists . Hope your beginning of the year is very productive! . . . . . #2021calendar #timematters #planninglife #designlife #lifebydesignnotbydefault #perfectionist #perfectionistproblems #havetimeforyourself #selfdiscovery #lifecoachnyc #habitsforsuccess See more

Strangely and unusually this year has started for me from a very solid realization that I have time for absolutely everything I want to accomplish and plan. . And this knowing has taken me outside of my ever racing head into the real world and made me as present as I ever been. . I got so inspired that decided to write a blog post on the subject of time and time management in the attempt to share some tools that I use in my life and find very helpful.... . And what about you? - Do you ever struggle with worrying that there is no time for everything you want to do? Or just generally not enough time? ____________________ Этот год начался для меня с очень неожиданного осознания того, что у меня есть время на абсолютно все, что я хочу и планирую. . И вот эта самая реализация буквально вытащила меня из моей постоянно неспокойной головы в реальность и включила меня в состояние здесь и сейчас . В общем так я вдохновилась этим опытом своим, что пишу сейчас небольшую статью, которую опубликую на сайте и здесь постараюсь краткий перевод на русский привести тожеХочется поделиться некоторыми инструментами касательно работы со временем, которые я нахожу полезными для себя. . А у вас бывает такое ощущение, что времени ни на что не хватает или, что его вообще нет? И что вы делаете в таких случаях? . . . . . #timemanagement #timelessuniverse #todolist #lifecoachnyc #humanpotential #humanpotentialcoach #highachiever #highachievers #highachieverscoach #bnw #nycphotographers #newyorkers #streetphotograph #selfdiscovery #mindfulnesspractice #meditationart #lifebydesignnotbydefault #betruetoyourself See more
