When I drink my coffee, the good ideas find me. I don’t put sugar in it but I like to add some time with myself. It become instantly so delicious.

There is no better way to start a day, than with a coffee and a long conversation- with yourself. Start to ask yourself questions about your life and your choices and start to be more friendly with your past versions. Start to get in touch with your passions and what brings you joy. Add some time with yourself everyday, even for 10 minutes- it will make a difference in 6 months. Start now to live the life you want.

Non-wanted experiences in life are inevitable and some of them become the catalyst for a new way of living and thinking. After long periods of living in survival mode, with patience and inner work we can recover our peace of mind and joy of being. We will have to shut doors to any potential negativity and not respond to it. We become selective about what kind of experiences and people we allow in our life, like we become selective with the coffee we drink or the food we eat.

After the survival phase, we start to want what it’s the best for us, because now we can see more clearly how much damage the past decisions did to our system. But please, let’s normalize that we didn’t knew what we know now and it’s all about conscious decisions and constant work. We are allowed to choose what isn’t good for us and in the same time we have the right to decide what it’s worth for our development.

All of this is written right in this moment when I drink my coffee and having conversations with myself. I find a quiet corner for reflections.

I love to drink a cup of coffee with my friends and to feel that joy of being with my loved ones. Also I’m going through “a coffee with myself” phase. A cup of coffee with a long conversation-with myself. The first sip of coffe wake me up from my dreams and I listen what I say to myself. And I am charmed by what can appear in my field when I am listening to whatever music comes from inside.

There is no self-development without self-awareness and self-reading. Try to read yourself more often and be mindful about your surroundings and thoughts. And don’t forget to drink your favorite coffee.

Mine is here and it’s never get cold anymore. Don’t let your coffee gets cold. Drink it now, with yourself or with your loved ones. But please, add some time just with yourself every day. And you’ll observe yourself that you are looking at people and simply smile because you start to enjoy life.

Life is good, choose to see the good parts-now take a look at that coffee that stare at you and get a sip. One more sip and go, start to live the life you promised yourself.
