From a dreamer with endless dreams…

I have a passion.

A passion where feelings are always answered back. Like an ecstasy in the top of a mountain with the wind howling through your face and ears.

It tastes like freedom… and joy… and it reinvigorates your inner!

My passion lies behind the wings of a bird that suddenly flies away in search of something unknown!

So many spots to visit and history waiting for us to discover.

I like places with stories and with amazing mountains hiding their secrets.

I love places with people and also enjoy the beautiful silence of the deserts!

I dream about places full of life and with untold stories ready to be told!

It is a desirable and unstopping wish of knowledge.

A sense of mystery and adventure. A flower rising up to the sun when it shows up!

So many things out there to be discovered.

And beautiful people ready to receive you with open arms all around the world

And then… you have a connection!

A connection to the entire world living deep ties in every corner. A willing heart always pumping to return and share some of your life, joy and happiness once again.

Travel is reinvigorating! It is an experience that you go empty and come back full of positive things just like something has just changed within you!

So many places in the world worth to fall in love for! For now my passion is just this until something else takes room in my heart and is willing to share such adventures with me.

From a Dreamer Person with endless dreams,

Just me.

Your mind is yours to control! Your life, your rules!

MUTE the venomous self-talk in your mind. ELIMINATE the poisonous theory of, “SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT DAY”. Today is a new day, make it COUNT. [S.M.]

Have you ever felt like your mind is being controlled? In a daily basis, you might not notice it but you will be aware as soon as you feel that something has changed in you.

 

 

The responsability of this happening is in our hands. The responsability of taking care of our mental health is ours. Most of the problems are self created due to a bad management of external elements surrounding us: it could be people, your friends, family, but also what you see on TV, classes and stuff you hear from other people. Some people have the ability of filtering and they don’t get damaged but people who are used to pay attention to everything might not be able of it. It is okay. It happens but it can be avoided.

See, our brain saves information in pictures, just like our memories, we can visualize everything we remember mostly in pictures. Words become pictures, thoughts become images and pictures are stored as pictures. Your brain will remember them even if you are not aware of them right now. This is why we have to watch out of what we are saving in our brain, because it can shape the way you act, the way you think and that may cause you damages. When a person is completely drowning in negative news, negative events or experiences he or she will need some balance. For that it is required positiveness, it is required strength and will power to fight the negativity because this is how you get rid of it: fill your brain with happier stuff, spend time laughing alone or in group, sing or dance…let your mind be in peace for once far from the poison given to you through TV (just watch the news everyday and tell me, how many positive news do they tell you in each session??). Society is powerful when we talk about shaping minds, it makes you create fear, worry, sadness and anxiety. In the other hand, take this as a lesson or in other words, let’s see the positive side in this: it means we gotta learn how to evade bad influences and how to fight them with other positive ways and balance your mental health. Let’s stop being a follower and stop everything that is getting in our heads. It is a choice, our responsability. Wether you see bad things happening, remember that there is also the bright and beautiful side showing you that some things really happen to turn out well!!! Don’t let others drain hope out of you, show them some hope instead. If they don’t believe in you, then it is not up to you to carry that responsability. First of all, we gotta be selfish sometimes in order to keep our needs and health running well and when we are well with ourselves we can watch upon others.

 

You know, when we feel well and healthy (mental and physically) each of us carry our own frequency. Everything has its frequency, its natural state. But you also know  that if two different frequencies shock with each other it will create unbalance. One of them my get some stability but the other will loose its natural state. And that is when you become ill. If you have a negative frequency, full of negative thoughts and experiences, that frequency will just seek the same kind of frequency if you don’t manage to change it. So if you ever felt poisoned from external events or experiences, make sure you find your balance again. Find your frequency, stay away of what is consuming your thoughts, seek your natural state and I am 100% sure you will be okay, you will get rid of the frequency that tried to shape your mind and made you create fear, worry or anxiety. It is important for us, human beings, to explore our abilities and to try new stuff. Why won’t you let you try different stuff? Maybe because you heard before it doesn’t work. But can you hear yourself now? You are being mentally shaped again. Just do it and see it for yourself. Did you ever thought you could try even though someone told you it is bullshit? I will tell you something, does everybody react the same way to a medicine or sickness? No, people are different, it might work for you and it might not for others. Though, I do believe that if we want to get better and free ourselves from the negativity, there is nothing stopping you from trying and find what you really need or want. The only thing stopping you is yourself. If you have the will, you have the first step for success but you gotta embrace it and don’t give up at the first day, the first week or the first month. Each of one of us need an exact amount of time to reach the top. When you are climbing a mountain, some will arrive first and some will do it after you, don’t try to keep up the pace with others, just go, you eventually will get there and free your mind from negativity.

Negativity exists but most people are not aware of the effects because they think it doesn’t change. If you are in that vibration for so long how do you expect to change it in a little amount of time?? You can’t, so don’t loose hope immediately and go back to the same drowning circle you put yourself into. It is your creation. If you have the ability to be unpleasant to yourself then you probably have the ability to change and be pleasant to your own being. When you get this in your mind once and for all, you are in it, you are ready to get rid of the negativity. Once we stop playing as victims and realize that we are the author of our mind, our feelings, the real owner of ourselves then we are ready to live things differently and don’t let negativity goes near our natural frequency and change it again.If you love yourself you won’t let that happen. The hardest part is we only notice something is wrong with us when we feel it, because we didn’t pay attention to ourselves before, we didn’t look inside of us and did some reflection about “what have I been doing? What have I been saving in my mind? Am I okay?” Most of time we are seeking something that will bring us joy. That is a distraction and an evasion and you just act as a draining pipe. This kinda sound contradictory of  what I have just said about being positive, so let me explain myself: make your own joy, you can look for joy yes but then stay in that frequency, when a joyful moment ends, keep yourself joyful, don’t let it end, keep the frequency within you.

 

Another sad part is that people feel ashamed and embarrassed by talking about this kind of stuff and some people loose their way because they refuse to speak out their mind to someone. All these feelings are self created. If the person is your friend and you trust him/her there is no right for this person to ever judge you because above all we are equals, which means you can’t fight what is wrong if you are already wrong (and perhaps there is nothing wrong about it but that is the perspective from some people…and that is okay, but no one has the right to make you live under their standards, you choose yours in order to keep you own balance, not theirs).

I said everything I just wanted to say. So please if you have any thoughts or want to share anything else here, feel free to “speak your mind”. After all this is my blog for life’s reflection and reflection is needed when we have to look at our inner self.

 

Namasté!

[Alcohol Awareness]

“Due to neuropathy, muscle atrophy and medication that caused permanent nerve damage in my legs and feet left me unable to walk and in excruciating pain for months. I had to learn how to do everything again—my motor skills, learning how to play guitar. It was really difficult, but at the same time if I didn’t have a record to make, I don’t think I would have recovered as quickly, or even at all.” [Deryck Whibley]

He is just a man who happens to be a member of a punk rock band and who has been through hard times just like many people out there that had to experience this painful outcome. Deryck is an excellent example to explain how things can go pretty bad if you don’t watch for what you’re doing to your own health. He has drowned into alcohol due to some dificulties in his daily life, because nobody is made of iron and nobody is perfect. Alcohol led him to a painful state near to a death outcome. His only chance [as well for many people in this situation] is a liver transplant and everyone knows that is not that easy to get such an organ and many people die while waiting. It happens that this man was very lucky and a warrior for fighting hard for his life in this stage, once things could really go much worse. But if you think that after a transplant everything would be OK you’re wrong. As you read from his note he lost many abilities, abilities that you are used to practice everyday without even notice how you do it. Simple skills just like dressing, walking, showering, stand up alone, laying down in a bed and suddenly you’re relying on someone else to help you in all your daily and basic needs. For most of them this would be enough because chances of getting better are not that high. Despite all this, Deryck lost his ability to play the guitar, to perform music, his life’s passion. So let me ask you something, if you can’t do what you love the most, then what is your next step? Let it be?

Give up?

Well, he didn’t. Despite all the results and low expectations, Deryck didn’t want to look down or stay still in his corner while the world moves on and he is obliged to remain quiet. No! He had to fight again, he had to reassure who he was again in order to fulfill his passion and keep on playing music. He couldn’t even place his fingers on the guitar and play a chord. So, for every basic skill and in order to keep playing, he had to redo all of it. Baby steps again like rewinding your life to the time when you are just a little kid. Patience and persistence! It is funny though, it makes you look at life with a different perspective, you get to learn how to value your accomplishments, your daily goals and above all you learn about the people who are there for you and those who just left you in the middle of the process leaving you frustrated.

I used his example in order to promote awareness regarding uncontrolled alcohol habits. Remember your choices come with a consequence. Enjoy your life as much as you want but keep these little things in mind – We are not made of iron.

Namasté.

“The bad news is Time flies. The good new is you’re the pilot” [M.A.]

Hi, it has been long time since I’ve written here!

And that is because I’ve failed to manage my time in order to do it! But that is ok, everyone fails sometimes.

Time is an interesting subject to talk about…

Time…Time is something that is always chasing our thoughts, our heart, our actions. ..Everything ends up being about “time” (Geez I’ll start believing it might be a god 😀 haha).

You go for a walk and then you have to cross the road. Red light is on, though! We watch at both sides – it’s clear – and still we’re going to cross it, fooling time once again! (Because it wasn’t your turn to do it)

Why is this matter frightning people? When you don’t get your goals in time, when something you want doesn’t just happen right away, when you keep practice and practice and it just doesn’t turn out perfect… Yeah… We seek perfection, no matter what people would say “perfection does not exist”, people will always search for it. Why people change their attitudes or their way of thinking? Because they want to be a better person, it means, get closely to their status of perfection.

What would this seeking cost to us? Time? I’d say that if you enjoy to do it, just keep it the same way but if you keep getting frustrated, maybe it is “time” to do it in other way. Human beings are too impatient and “waiting” is something that we try to avoid specially if we find an alternative way. Surviving might be the basis of all of it but I’ve started to realize that ambition is something that constantly invade humans’ heads and hearts.

People would like to limit their time by doing too many things at once.  We are already in a race against time though. Time can be modulated but it can also tricks us!

Things will come to each one of us when they are meant to arrive. Although, if you don’t fight for it, it won’t be meant to be! It seems a contradiction, but it works like that! You fight for what you want the most and in time you’ll get it, when you’re finally ready to deal with.

Time gives you the opportunity to race with it and not against it!

Your efforts will always deserve the reward you are seeking in time.

“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose”

Everything is here for you to pick, to observe and transform. Hey you, little boy and girl, you can turn that little rock into a beautiful flower, if you just believe in it. You are big, you are special, you smile and do wonders, so please lets rule this world together and let it shine from the start. Look at the old with new eyes and you will see something that wasn’t there before. Grab it and take it with you. Go there and say hi, come home with your heart full of smiles from whoever smiled at you. Don’t feel lonely today, feel your freedom and that you are there on your own and you can decide what to do or to say.

Be that sailing boat who isn’t afraid to go and face the sea while a storm is preparing to rage on. Watch other people look how graceful are your moves and how bright is your wisdom. For instance, let your life be, let time be, let space be….let yourself to be!

If there is something knocking you down, once again, let it be. Nothing can move you forever, sometimes it is just a different perspective.

Lesson learned in these past few months: Do not expect anything from anyone unless it is from yourself!

People you know are in your life for a reason

Through this day we ended up talking about why we meet the people we know… So I want to talk about people’s interactions.

Every person I know at the moment…they showed up in my life for a reason….Either for me to learn or to share some beautiful moments. Thing is we know who we know because we have something to learn with each other and for real, I truly believe in this. When the learning is finally done, we go different ways…Although, this last part doesn’t really happen with every people that we meet, sometimes, just sometimes, there is always something you still gotta learn with that person: be it a friend, a member of family or your spouse.

Humans are social beings, it is really hard to someone to keep up a good work alone….(well sure you can do it but not forever). Despite this I wanna say that unfortunately people use to build themselves a wall and they try to avoid any kind of interaction. Come on people, what the hell? Have you something big to hide or you just want to hide your beautiful inner which is capable of doing wonders? – joke, I am not the one who’s gonna judge actions when I also fail.

Everyday when I got in a bus, no one compliments others, no one says hello and everyone goes hiding in their little world like if everybody around would just be a thief. They say we cannot just see the good in people so I say you cannot just always see the bad side in people. Don’t judge, keep your space but be polite. I know this would be weird if I started walking on a street and suddenly I’d go all brave and say “good morning” to everyone (that would be funny ’cause we would see how many would respond and smile or just ignore and act like I was an alien – haha). Well, sad story that we keep going straight into a confined and individualized world.

Sometimes I don’t understand how people can judge someone without trying to know them better or why people run away suddenly. That is fear. Fear is the biggest obstacle in people’s lives. It won’t let you see beyond what you see or let you think straight.

Remember when you were just a baby – of course you don’t – but you were fearless until someone teaches you which stuff you should be afraid of……Until then, you are a free being without any condition, without limits and so, you’re just you.

P.S. Have you ever thought about this matter? Could it really make a difference in someone’s life?
(These texts are just part of reflections and share of opinions…This is no guidance. Have fun).

Your happiness, Your story, Your (f***ing) rules!!

Well, so today I am going to talk about love. Weird subject for me to speak because what I know is so little in this matter. It is a curious thing and seems beautiful. It is something I’d like to  understand someday truly.

People talk about how beautiful it is and how painful it can be. True story, I won’t make anymore judgements about how it can be or not. I can only give my vision about it and all I can say it is supposed to be a special sharing and not a possessive thing. It is supposed to feel free and do your own things while you are with someone by your side. It is supposed you to be you but with a little effort if you are dealing with another person in your life. What I see is that people forget they are not only a “me” anymore, there is an “us” and it requires some efforts from both sides. Nowadays I see some sort of a lack in communication between people. Do you know how old people manage to stay together all over so many years?? I think they come from a time when everything was supposed to be fixed and not to give up on people and throw all of it away. I don’t wanna judge but my honest opinion is that people are afraid of commitments, afraid of failing or of showing their true selves. I don’t blame it, who likes to put everything on the table for everyone to see? We, humans, are complex beings and we always play a role that searches for easy things with the best outcome – which leads us to selfish thoughts or attitudes: being selfish is good too but not too much. In this world, boy/girl, you can be everything…just don’t choose to be 8 or 80…stay on the 40 and play up or down from here. Stay happy with yourself and don’t let your happiness rely on someone else – your happiness, your story, your rules! You choose what you want because you are the author! Don’t let anyone else tells your story! Get up, take your shirt off (kidding), make up your mind and search: happiness is waiting for you to find it!

Life will always challenge us and it is up to you to make a choice. Don’t ever let your fears take the best out of you. If you want to love, go and do it. Share moments, smile together and…learn together. Nothing is worthless in life if you pick the right perspective to see. Everything may have its own beauty and grace! If you are alone, well sorry to tell you this (don’t kill me) but you’re not alone: you have yourself. How many times each day do you talk to yourself asking how the hell are you? Do you ever stop a second to remember about you and realize that you are the first person you need to learn how to love and master?? You aren’t going anywhere until you do this exercise. Boy/girl you are beautiful (don’t tell me you’re not – that’s bullshit :P) and you have kindness in your heart, you have dreams, you have people around you that makes you smile (am I making you smile? :P). If I am here talking to whoever is reading this that is because I care.

Anyway, go pick a flower and give it to someone you like (it could be a lover or just a friend).. I don’t know the feeling (and for sure I know nothing about these things) but I am sure the person will love that simple gesture that shows you care :).
Do not be afraid of sharing love and friendship. If anything turns out to go wrong, it is ok, you can fix it (it may take time, but you’re already a warrior for coming this far) and don’t give up on you.
Life will show you something beautiful in time. ❤ Have faith dear sir/ma’am!
P.S. Go share some love. Be well… and smile (that will make you sexier – hahaha just kidding 😉 )

 

A bit about me

I realized now that I haven’t introduced me properly and for this I will write a bit about of me in a way of reflection since my blog is about reflection and thinking.

I think I don’t remember doing this for long but maybe now it is the time. To start I don’t care who will read this or if people are interested in knowing me or not. (If you really do feel free to say hi, I am not anti-social or introverted as may many people may think. I am easy to know but maybe difficult to understand :P).

For long time I used to wear a cloak and hide a bit of myself and i kept my walls up. Lets say some experiences in life leaves you in that way but I do realize it is time to let it go. I can change from one day to another if I want to and I think that is my biggest ability: a strong mind that goes after what I want. OH yeah! If there’s something in my head, I will fight for it, regardless how long it may takes. I can have ups and downs like everyone else does, but there’s a difference….Sometimes I hear people telling me: “maybe you should just stop, you’re killing yourself to a state of misery”… I don’t mind listen and give them some reason but…here’s the thing: I rather go down fighting for something I want and remember at same time I still have things to smile for than doing nothing and don’t bother like some of the people do. Sometimes people are lazy and rather choose a path they won’t bother or they would stick to be happy with something else. I don’t. I choose the hard path and I don’t regret it because I know it will be damn worth it. For instance, it is my life. I don’t need people’s approval, I just need their support and be there for me. It is easy to say “I don’t care what other people say” but I realize that some of them are really good friends and they care – which I do appreciate! I just need a support, so please don’t ever tell me how to do things. Beautiful things in life happens after a failure, after a fall…I believe in balance and sometimes on my greyest days I also cry… I am human, it is ok…everyone goes through same stuff and so I am not alone. Right now I may have millions of people on the same situation as me.

I am an observer. Everywhere I go I step on people’s eyes and wonder. If you got my interest up I will get to know you, slowly. I try not to judge, but sometimes I start questioning what I see just because I do not understand. ( Be polite, smile and say hello to people, maybe they’re going through a tough day and who knows if you light them up 😉 )

I am a listener. I rather listen than speak. Not because I am bad speaker, just because sometimes people won’t get my visions or perspectives. I want a peaceful environment and be okay with everyone else. About my perspectives… I use to think in a very positive way and I am a confident person of what I can do…Of course not everyday… once again I am human not a constant pattern you see. I am talkative when I think I can be and go for it.

What I love to do is making someone smile and be grateful for that. Helping people and giving them some hope and better quality of life is my rule. I remember all the faces that I met before while I was doing clinical practicing…. people i would not know from nowhere but everyday they have smiled at me and said “thanks” or other beautiful words that made me feel that I was doing the right thing. Some of them have died and some they keep on living. Those people who died taught me some lessons: that not everything in life comes in a book that tells you what to do or how to do – just do it if there’s a chance. And those who lived showed me hope. And all of them taught me how to develop a warrior spirit.

I am not an expert in relationships. So if you think I am going to step forward, I won’t. I act like a hawk, I wait and see if it’s safe. I am not impulsive (maybe I should be a little bit more). Regarding love aspects, I am too much demanding and picky (are you the lucky one? hahaha joke). Anyway the one getting my heart, surely will have everything from me :). Regarding jokes… I always say 90% of what I say is joking. I play and love to make people laugh or smile with my stupid jokes :D. Maybe 90% is too much but what I mean is I am always trying to find something funny in a conversation and say it – that is me: Juliana, a girl that constantly brings a joke up and everyone thinks she’s crazy. When you see I am no more like that, I am not okay!

Why I speak in english too much? Firstly, it is an universal language. Secondly, I know many people that they can only communicate with me through this language and finally because I don’t mind it. (Don’t worry, be happy)

I’d like to say I rule it simple, but truth is …. maybe not. Humans are not simple beings. But what really matters is if I am happy like that.

And last but not least, there’s a sentence that says everything about me: “Nothing is impossible for a willing heart” [J.C.]
