Hello guys,

I hope you are doing well. I cannot believe it’s already November. One of my favorite months, because nature has amazing colors, everything is just slowing down and starting the preparation for the winter…or in my case for Christmas.

I have started this part of the blog where I will share my recommendations, favorites, and things which helped me during the years of my positive journey. And this post will be one of my many recommendations. Also, I recently wrote about the importance of slowing down, so I bought a tip for you on how to educate while you are just stepping back a bit from your crazy busy life. November will be all about slowing down and relaxing. I plan to bring some tips about how to be more relaxed. It will be a very exciting month, I promise.

So what I have realized is literally 24 hours is not enough for me (okay “fun fact” that I am capable of sleeping like, and as much as a baby, but I need at least 8 hours of sleep to be able to function) to do everything I wish and also like to do. I like to do so many different things, such as Zumba, dance, meditation, yoga, eat ( one of my favorites), sleep, sometimes cook or bake, read, learn, etc. So I had no idea how I fit into my busy schedule of self-development. My best friend said that he loves listening to podcasts and my first reaction was: “Dude, I have no time and even I don’t like to listen to one subject, I love listening to music, but not people talking.” Guess what he introduced me to Joe Rogan’s podcasts (okay, I am a huge fan of Scott Eastwood, so the interview with him) and my whole world changed. Let’s make it something clear, I do not like to listen to thematic podcasts because I am never really sure which subject is interesting to me, but I love to listen to totally different subjects. However, positivity, mindset, self-growth, and well-being will always interest me. Since that interview, I became a huge fan of podcasts because finally, I have “time to learn” most easily and quickly. I love learning new stuff, but the fact that my mind is just as hyperactive as my entire self… Well, the classroom learning is just simply freaking me out. Staying over the books, and memories for hours, and the next day after the exam I will not remember for a word…yes, learning wasn’t my best hobby. Don’t get me wrong, I keep studying new things because I think self-development is one of the most important things in life because it challenges you, but not in a classical way…at least not for me.

Podcasts are the best classrooms. I can do the dishes, cleaning, walking and I can learn from the world’s leaders. You can be an expert about anything and you do not even have to pay a huge amount of money to learn from your idols, role models, or even from scientists. You can learn about anything…history, music, sports, social media, business, cars, money, entrepreneurs, well-being, etc. I started to listen to many podcasts depending on my mood.

My favorites are (of course) Scott Eastwood’s Live Life Better; Oprah Winfrey and the Super Soul Conversations; Tony Robbins and The Tony Robbins Podcast; Joe Rogan and The Joe Rogan Experience; Mel Robbins and The Mel Robbins podcast…and one of my friend’s podcast is What Wild Women Wants with Rachel Rose (if you like spirituality and holistic health this will be your favorite). One of the newest is Archetypes with Megan (yes, Duchess of Sussex), I always liked her as an actress and I do since then. I listen to many more, but not all. 😅

I think this type of education is amazing and makes it easier and quicker to study different areas of the World. What I have learned since I started my “positive journey”, never stops growing. You always need to challenge yourself and be an expert in as many areas of life as you can, because when you feel alive, you can feel confident. Even if you think you know something, just question that knowledge and be open to new opinions, and new views, so you will keep continuing to grow.

I know many of you are just laughing now and saying: “welcome to the 21st century Babe.”, “Podcasts are so obvious and everyone listening to them, where do you come from”. Well, you are right, but as I said so many times in my previous posts, everyone has the “click” or as Oprah says ” aha” moments when the time has come for them to be ready to get the information.🥰

I love you all. Listen to podcasts!!!! 😅

XOXO,

Krisz🥰

P.s: Quotes will be back soon. As I mentioned earlier November will be all about how to slow down. If you don’t want to miss anything, please follow the Spitfires on Instagram and/or Facebook. 😘

Hello guys,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the beauty of the fall. I know I have not posted for a while here or on my social media, but I had to slow down.

I am a very energetic, hyperactive and always on the move person. Never stop! Stop? Sit down? Relax? Never really was in my vocabulary. To be honest, during the past years I have gotten better, but I am still addicted to stress. I couldn’t leave without it. Well, now I had no other chance, because life just actually did shut me down.

Two weeks ago I got a really bad cold. People who know me, also know that cold never stopped me from working and especially never forced me to stay in my bed…at least not longer than a day. I have spent five whole days in my bed, having tea, medicine and everything to get better. I literally couldn’t get out of my bed, I physically wasn’t able to do so.

And that made me think about the importance of slowing down, stopping, relaxing and listening to my body.

I believe that your body and your soul are always telling you what to do and what is the best for you. I worked a lot, never stopped stressing, I had so many activities after work too, the blog, the pictures, the new projects which I have just started…well I got overwhelmed and my body physically stopped me and saved me from myself.

In my opinion a cold or any kind of illness has two parts:

a.) Physical. This is clear, your body is tired and needs to stop to recover.

b.) Emotional. It can be any kind of “negative” (or how I call “emotions that no longer serves you”) emotions.

I believe that we only will be better for good, if we start with the emotions part. We need to find out how we hurt ourselves, not always consciously, sometimes we do not even realize. Sometimes these are “small” things (at least no one even thinks about those that can affect us in a really bad way) such as guilt, sadness, judging, and negative self-talk.

Have you ever caught yourself you made a mistake and you just said “oh, I am so stupid”…do you see my point? We don’t think it could hurt. Or what about when you see someone on the tube and you start “really, did she/he not have a mirror, what does she/he looks like”?…yes my friends, pure judgment. I could tell you a million other examples, but I think you got it.

We are always so busy in our everyday life…grab the kids from school, cook something for dinner, go to work, do some exercise, even we stressing ourselves when we try to relax…our mind is not relaxing even when we finally dedicated the time to do so…how many of you just sit down to watch a movie and in the meantime you thinking about that you need to go to grocery shopping the next day, make the presentation on time, need to visit the parents, etc. My special favorite, that’s what I do most of the time: schedule X amount of time to read, exercise, even with meditation and during my relaxing “me time”, I can’t relax, because I am constantly checking my clock, just to make sure I will not spend one extra minute on each “task”, because than the whole schedule will be screwed up. Yes… I know, it is so pathetic that I am stressing about my relaxing time.

What I want to say here is that please listen to yourself. And now I see someone’s eyes are rolling and asking me the magic question: How? Well, that’s easy, just ask yourself frequently “What would make me happy?”. That’s it. And let it go. Don’t force the answer. Maybe today it will be a bunch of flowers or a cake…cool, do it. (Maximum tomorrow you will spend an extra half an hour on the gym🤷🏼) Go for a walk, call a friend, watch a movie, have a glass of wine…whatever makes you feel happy, but ask and listen!!!! Don’t wait until your body shuts you down…trust me it will do it sooner or later.

Fall is about to slow down and prepare for the winter. As nature transforms itself and starts to prepare, slowing down, we should do the same. During the summer we collected a lot of energy from the long days, from the experiences during the holidays, we spent so much time in the sun, we did it to be prepared for the colder months. As the days get shorter, everyday is getting darker, our body must be slowed, must be prepared.

I will try to share with you from my life and my preparation as much as I can, to do it together and slow down together. So follow the blog on Instagram and Facebook to get tips to slow down and ask as many questions as you like. Even a Spitfire allowed to slow down and relax a bit. ❤

I love all of you so much! ♥️

XOXO
