I T ' S AN EARLY Saturday morning. I’m sitting in my comfy armchair with a nice cup of coffee and enjoying the dawn chorus. That’s my favourite time of the week because I can take a few hours digital detox, be PRESENT and get into my writing mojo. In addition, while everyone in the family is still fast asleep, I am pondering on what “wellbeing” means to me, and how I can achieve it. Editor’s note In the last few months, more and more students and teachers have been complaining about being too stressed, overwhelmed and lacking free time. I soon realised that emotional and physical burnout was taking its toll on me too, and in order for me to love and help other people, first I need to LOVE and HELP MYSELF. Oprah Winfrey says: That is why I decided to make my wellbeing a priority. But how do I accomplish it? *by being present in every moment because TAKING NOTICE makes me feel ALIVE Page 9 *by connecting with only positive and like-minded people *by deepening my connection with myself, meditating and taking regular exercising *by being kind and generous to myself and other people *by learning all the time, because I need to develop as an individual, a teacher and a lightworker On a final note, I am still on my self-empowering journey but I make sure that I enjoy every step of the way. I am aware that in order for me to “walk the walk”, I need to “talk the talk”. How do you sustain living well? 3
