A mindful life

It wasn't until I started making the subtitles for this video that I realised how many times I use the word 'like'. My goodness.
Welcome back, stranger!
This last while, I've been making a big effort to really become more aware of my breath. To think so much about breathing may sound a little silly to some, but I think it is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves. Conscious breathing has been helping me in so many ways. For so many years I have struggled with my breath, finding it hard a lot of the time to get past the shortness of it.
Even now I find it difficult at times, but I've become a lot better at taking deeper breaths, and finding ways to relax my body and allow myself to feel ok in this present moment.
If you also struggle with our breath, or with anxiety at times, I really do encourage you to look into some breathing techniques, such as Nadi Shodhana, or 'alternate nostril breathing'. I've been using this one more often, and notice an immediate change in my state of being.
In other notes, as I mention in the video, the Thai visa amnesty for foreigners has indeed been extended for another 2 months!
I also very much enjoyed making my DIY bullet journal. It's one of those creative projects that feel very therapeutic, and easy to pour my creative energy into. Give it a try! Why not?

ABOUT ME
Hey there! I'm Anna-Maria, and I'm a human being that has been travelling the world since October 2018. I am a free-spirited, creative, calm and kind person, and love being surrounded by nature, beautiful souls, and warmth. I do not like to define myself so much, as I (like everyone else) am always changing and evolving, and don't wish to limit myself in any way.
I'm a big fan of spending time with animals, cooking vegan food, playing music, making art, laughing crazily with good people (or alone) and being my weird self.

Thanks for the information about breathing techniques, I've been wanting to look into them! (Also, journal-making skills and 'fabulous' moves were on-point)

Loved your notebook! One of my friends creates something like that and she soaks paper in coffee. Perhaps you'll like the result too :)
