How to have an authentic conversation?

Conversation connects us. We get closer to each other. It unites us and fills us with energy.  I know that conversing is a very important thing. I always knew that. And now, I am even more aware of this... I am living in Denmark, away from my home country Slovenia, which gives me no other options then maintaining contact with only talking. I know that physical presence is a significant element, but we can do without that too. We don’t have a choice and it’s okay.  People are different. Some people talk all the time, but they don’t know how to listen. Others know how to listen, but they don’t trust. There are those who leave the impression that they are listening, but they are thinking about other stuff. We can’t blame them. Their obligations are probably in their mind all the time. Problems take them away. I wish they would know that...  having a conversation is like a medicine, it cures, heals, helps and makes us stronger.  And s

Meal planning and healthy way of eating

Would you define your eating habits as healthy? If not, you shouldn’t be embarrassed to admit, because it’s your parent's fault… No, no, no, I’m just kidding. Well, but the truth is that our eating habits are truly inherited from our parents or beloved ones. Even more, we were tasting different flavours when we were in mama’s belly, before our birth! So actually the taste is learnt, which is very useful information. This means that a flavour of healthy food can still grow on us. So, maybe I will, someday and somewhere, like the taste of a sour turnip. And when I will decide to taste it, it would be great if the food will be served by someone who I love, because this feeling will pass on culinary delights from my plate. Also, it is very important that while I will be trying a sour turnip, people around the table will be making a positive atmosphere and talking only about happy topics. This positivity will be associated with the food,

Essential things for a successful day!

We all have our own tricks for a successful day . We have our own way of being productive and motivated for a working day. This helps us to complete all tasks from a ' To-do list ' so that we don't procrastinate. I don't know how it's with you, but I will fall asleep a little bit happier when I know that I have finished all of my obligations. I look forward to tick all things from my daily list.  Now I can't resist to smile, because I know that this blog post will probably also read someone, who doesn't love planning at all. But, I am not insane… Try it and you will see that planning can be a really great thing… Just give it a chance! The truth is that we all have enough time for everything. Yeah,  time flys … BUT, we have enough time! The real problem is the absence of energy, motivation or incorrectly arrangement of daily activities. I will tell you my trick to create a successful and productive day. I ho

Things you need to know about colours!

We have a trip in Aarhus on Sunday morning. This is the second largest city in Denmark, only an hour away from Silkeborg . We had a lunch in the city and visited Ikea. We still needed some trivialities for our new home, which I was describing here . As you already know, those string lights on the picture below are perfect to make your evening atmosphere more cosy and pleasant. We found out, that beside some little thing in our kitchen and bathroom, we also miss more COLOURS in our apartment. Currently we have the majority of things in white and beige, so we hoped to add more playfulness in our home. That's why we decided to visit Ikea, to find something beautiful and colourful .  While  I was choosing and thinking about colours for our apartment, I realized that this is a very important decision. Colours influence on people . They have a great impact on individual's emotions, cognition and behaviour . The aesthetics is impo

Are you satisfied with your new job?

Moving in to a new apartment can be really hard and stressful thing. There is a lot of confusion and madness… Because of that I admire my boyfriend even a little more. He is a football player and beside of frequently changing our living places, he is also constantly changing his work environment. And this can be difficult for everybody. Do you remember how you felt on your first day in your new job? Probably you felt a mix of feelings… happiness, joy, expectation, excitement, fear, sadness… You had to meet new co-workers, adjusted on new tasks, demands and expectations of your superior.  Can you imagine that you successfully survive all of those clumsy beginnings and then, suddenly they put you back to a starting point … and you have to experience all of this again. Those kind of things are happening in football… those are small disadvantages, which are part of a football player’s life. Here comes a moment, when they know ….  … it’s time to start something new … so they

How to create homeliness in your new home?

I’m happy and marry today. We finally found our dream home . Everything happened so quickly, but so spontaneously… I think that this was meant for us… this was our fate. Well, if this wasn’t fate, then it was definitely a Slovenian handball player Miha and his lovely girlfriend Laura, who nicely extended a welcome to us, here in Silkeborg. Finally I put my English aside and introduced myself in Slovenian. Great feeling!  Imagine how amazing was drinking coffee and chatting with a Slovenian, who also gave us some helpful tips about new, yet unknown town - Silkeborg. After a short talk, we switched to our unsuccessful search for a new apartment, which led us to the point that we drove to see a new apartment together. On the verge of the Silkeborg, we arrived in a cute residential area and we stopped in front of our future home . Adorable little house, surrounded by nature on one side and again with other lovely houses on the other.  F

Do dreams effect on daytime mood?

I never get bored through nighttime. My brain makes sure that I wake up enthusiastically almost every morning… and then I can’t wait on my boyfriend’s alarm, because in a moment when he opens his sleepy eyes, I enrich him with a lot of lovely stories from my dreams. But you can imagine that Gregor is nowhere near as thrilled about my dreams as me, because he can’t make head nor tail of them… But still they leave a large stamp in my ingoing day. I will never forget the nightmare from which my boyfriend woke me up, because I was hysterically crying. Even now I can remember this dreams and I know that I spent my day with bitter taste in my mouth because of them. And I also won’t forget the dreams from the previous week.  They still make me laugh, even today. Some of the biggest adventures happen only in your dreams. I often ask myself where do my grey cells find so much diverse material for all adventures that I experience in my dreams. So many times I've decided
