Silence is nearby

Everybody knows, or should know, that silence is essential for our recreation, our creativity, our health, physical as well as mental and psychic. Letting oneself into a non-stop routine of the noisy cities means to ruin oneself, to create numerous risks for, among other disorders, dementia and depression.

I propose you (once again) to make a stop. To listen to silence. I’ve elaborated many safe and picturesque itineraries in the countryside across beautiful authentic villages of Île-de-France, just one hour from Paris by train. Our day-long journeys would depend, of course, on your walking habits, so distance may vary from 10 to 30 km.

Participation fees according to your possibilities. Join me one of the sunny days once you’re in Paris.

So make a stop and have a really regenerating walk. No crowds, no urban noise.

Ocean

There are so many advantages in instability. My job contract’s been over since November 15; cleaning service that I found and did once in two houses is not needed any more; quite irregular babysitting on Wednesday is completely cancelled until the New Year. I’ve got for the moment no real job proposals. The most important thing is not to panic. It usually works in this way: one week you’ve got some very small jobs here and there, the next three weeks you have nothing at all. You have only to adjust to this rhythm, to these tides of human existence. (At the same time, I still don’t have any idea how to pay the rent for my studio at the beginning of 2020. But it’s too far to think about it.)

In fact, such an instable, from the financial point of view, existence offers you flexibility, creativity, and freedom, not only physical, but also the incredible sensation of being free. In this state of mind I begin to search for opportunities to do things I love. To do those things that I love and which do not require a lot of resources. That’s why the thing I did just before my job was over was to buy cheap TGV tickets to Bordeaux (16+10 euros, Ouigo from Massy), to get in touch with people who rent a studio exactly in front of the Ocean (30 euros x 4 nights). And to disappear in a completely another world amidst the sands and the eternal Ocean, who humiliates our too human passions and our fears.

Here and here you can see it and here it.

In a bad mood

Do these simple things to cope with your bad mood:

Breathe. Listen to your breath.
Wake up and do some exercises. Concentrate on what you’re doing.
Feed yourself, don’t be hungry.
Have a walk. Even if you don’t want – go out. You have to tire your body, to burn your energy, otherwise your energy will burn you.
Meet friends. Meet people, talk to them.
Create your everyday rituals and schedule, and follow them strictly.
