The same effect to "Don't think of a Pink Elephant."

"I was lying in my sleeping bag,
staring at the light filtering through the red and green fabric of the dome tent...
We could have been anywhere.
There is a peculiar anonymity about being in tents."
From "Touching the Void" by Joe Simpson
Some books are not only good but also so real and true π.

Years ago, LuisMi πͺπΈ and I π―π΅ were temporary residents of Canada π¨π¦.
When we started researching how we could become permanent residents,
we spent time researching,
and researching,
and researching ... (x repeat) to be sure.
Then, our friend shared with us the way he was doing.

βThe lessons we learn outside the classroom are equally if not more important than the ones we learn inside.β

Today, literally we learnt the lessons outside the classroom π».

"Mental Gym" is a session I run regularly inside/outside,
in-person/online,
at library/community-centre,
in Whistlerπ¨π¦/Pembertonπ¨π¦,
and,
also in the facilitator's backyard.

Description of the event
"I'm too busy."
"I don't have time."
"I have so many things on my plate."
"I'll do it only if I have enough time."
If you have ever said any of the above, you are not alone (at all). Time flies when you are having fun, and often it flies anyway no matter what.
Join Kaya for a fun, game-based Mental Gym to get new perspectives on "time" to achieve (almost) all your unique goals.
Let's give ourselves a judgement-free mid-year review before saying "Where has my summer gone ??"
Please bring a pen, a notebook, and curiosity.

"Take your time, recharge and come back stronger."

My phone and I got recharged and came back stronger,
so we took over captain's seat π₯.

"What do you do in summer ??"
Being a ski instructor during winter,
I often get this question.
"I'm a dolphin trainer." is still my favorite answer I heard from other instructor who was simply making it up every time he was asked π¬.
"I work for a cruise ship π³." is one of my favorites lately.
I'm not making up this one.
Currently doing port and tour sites inspection in Alaska,
using my winter attire π§£π§₯ for my summer job.

Sometimes all you need is a second last,

"If the grass is always greener on the other side,
what are your neighbors doing to keep their grass so green?"
Weekend on "the other side - island",
looking at "my side - the mainland".
The grass on my side is pretty green, too !

Great reminder of kindness β€.
"Most rudeness, meanness, and cruelty are a mask for deep-seated weakness.
Kindness in these situations is only possible for people of great strength.
You have the strength.
Use it."
