Mindful Life with Boriana Zaneva

How many times did you get burned and had to rebuild yourself, your life, your relationships, your health, your career? And you’re still standing tall and strong. Too many to count. And so, you can do it again.

Just a reminder: when you take a leap of faith, it may feel like you’re loosing the ground under your feet. It is because you’re flying upward. And that’s a good thing.

Just a reminder: we are all stronger than we think.
Love, B.

Happy New Year, darlings! My wish for all of us is to make the best out of whatever this year turns out to be. 2023 reminded me that even a very challenging tough year can be at the same time a very wonderful year, filled with lots of beautiful moments and heartwarming connections. Give priority to people, places, experiences and work that make us happy, feed our souls, and bring us meaning and awe. 🌟🥂💖

What an emotional experience just to cheer and watch people finish the Boston marathon. So many people gathered to support and celebrate this big moment for loved ones and for strangers, alike. Being there to encourage the brave in their moments of pain and joy. Raw, real, humbling. 50 years of women running in the Boston marathon. So many touching stories and journeys. A needed moment of healing, people from around the world coming together with unconditional kindness, support and joy for each other.

Motherhood is about messing up and having a ton of imperfect moments, and it is about a fierce determination to try your best.

Some unimaginable immense forces shaped this tree at a point in its life. It bent, but didn’t break. Resilience, determination and purpose keep us going even trough hard times. Tough experiences change us in unique ways and we grow out of them stronger and wiser. Make this time an opportunity for your own unique growth.

Happy Earth day! Celebrate with love for the planet. Remember a time you were somewhere in nature and felt peace, empowerment, rapture and awe. One of my oldest memories, more than four decades ago, I was quietly sitting and listening to the earth - feeling the wind, the sun, the movement of leaves, the flight of a bird. That became a lifelong habit, wherever I go, I take a moment to sit or stand quietly and take in everything around me. Being fully present and open, I get to truly know, not just see, nature down to the depths of rocks, roots and soil, and up to the heights of treetops and mountain peaks; I get to experience the deep interconnectedness and unpretentious grandness of it all.

It’s been six weeks of staying at home, each day seems to blend in with the next, daily routines repeated over and over again. Monotony may seem boring at first, yet if you embrace it, if you surrender to it, you find that the simplicity of repetition and the steadiness of routine, bring some elegance, beauty, certainty and calm. Certainty and calm feels like the right mode for now.

Traveling the world means nothing unless you appreciate the comfort and peace of home. Then you can feel home anywhere you travel. Express daily gratitude for your home, think or write down something different each day. What do you love about your home? What about your home makes you feel calm and safe? What objects and places in your home “spark joy”? What are your best memories in your home? Who are the beings that make your home filled with love?

Women should be celebrated more often than the one day a year. So, here’s a belated International Women’s day post :)
So many women of all ages among my friends and out into the world are becoming more and more confident in themselves, being comfortable with who they are, and becoming who they want to be. More and more girls and women celebrate, support and inspire each other. Collectively, we are raising a new generation of empowered women. My daughter keeps growing with many female role models and mentors and she’s also becoming a source of inspiration to me and others. All that makes me so glad
