5 Reasons to enjoy Asian series

On a rainy day around two years ago, I spontaneously started watching the Chinese series Meteor Garden on Netflix. It was different, but fun. Since then, I’ve watched Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwanese series. They’re really something! So hear me out while I explain to you why you should give them a try.

Are you a procrastinator? 💭💭💭 “You avo Are you a procrastinator? 💭💭💭

“You avoid the task by doing other tasks that don’t bring you those emotions, therefore it is not laziness. You must find ways to address, and manage, those emotions. The emotion isn’t always stress – it could be grief, anger, trauma, etc. You’re not lazy. You’re just sad.” 

Find out what type of procrastinator you are:

📍THE PERFECTIONIST procrastinates finishing off her tasks to protect herself against possible failure. To overcome it, this type has to switch striving for “perfection” to work towards “excellence”.

Ask yourself: What am I trying to prove?
Your challenge: learn to decide on how much effort is fitting for a specific task.

✨THE DREAMER procrastinates the actual living out of her ideas, because she’s stuck in her dream world of endless possibility and bliss. To tackle procrastination, this type has to train herself to make the distinction between dreams and goals.

Ask yourself: What’s keeping me from acting on my dreams?
Your challenge: Become more concrete by changing dreams to specific goals that can be reached by taking specific steps on a specific time. Start planning!

❤️THE ADRENALINE SEEKER procrastinates until the very last moment, because she’s focused on the kick and doesn’t set clear goals. She is motivated by stress and has to learn to focus on the positive, active aspects of tasks.

Ask yourself: Why does starting on things feel boring to me?
Your challenge: Seek other motivating factors outside of stress by making working on tasks more enjoyable.

🤯THE OVERTHINKER procrastinates taking decisions, because she doesn’t like change and has low confidence in herself. This type has to challenge herself to stop thinking negatively and think about possible positive outcomes.

Ask yourself: What am I afraid of?
Your challenge: Simplify things for yourself.

A Day Without Social Media 🤳🏻📱
______

“And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!” And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important.” ― Iain Thomas

Most of us are familiar with social media. Some of us spend more time on it than others, and that’s fine. However, lately I –Kirstin- have been noticing I tend to grab my phone all the time – even if it’s not what I really want. More like a thoughtless action that’s become an automatic response to stress or boredom. Somehow, I expect my phone to help me relax, but often it does the exact opposite and I end up with a hasty, distracted feeling.

Could it be different? How can we use our phones without being too immersed in them? We tried to go a day WITHOUT social media!

A Cityguide To Picturesque The Netherlands 🇳🇱🌸🌺🌻
.
There is power in exploring the beauty in your own country instead of always wanting to travel. When I walk around my neighborhood I can be amazed by all the gorgeous things I see. That made me curious: are there beautiful places in the Netherlands still to be seen? (The answer to that question is probably always “yes”).

7 Tips For Sustainable Shopping 👟 “Because wh 7 Tips For Sustainable Shopping 👟
“Because when I shop, the world gets better” a quote by Rebecca from ‘Confessions Of A Shopaholic’: a well-known romantic comedy about a woman struggling with shopping addiction. When I watched this cheerful movie last week, her statement got me thinking. In recent years, the invisible side of the fashion industry, pollution and poor working conditions, has been increasingly highlighted. So I am starting to question it more and more. Does the world get better when I shop?

Denmark & Sweden by Train 🚂🇩🇰 When was th Denmark & Sweden by Train 🚂🇩🇰
When was the last time you visited a new country? Since the pandemic, the opportunities for travel have been quite restricted. Luckily, we have our imagination to take us back to fond memories or envision a future trip. Two years ago, me and my big sister traveled to Denmark and Sweden by train (using interrail)! As you probably know, traveling by train is a ecofriendly way to visit other countries. It’s a lot of fun too. Visit our blog via link in bio to read about our memories from Aarhus, Malmö, Lund, Örebro and Copenhagen and what we advise you to do there! Read the blog via link in our bio!🇸🇪🤍

7 Easy Tips to Eat Sustainably 🍃 This week is t 7 Easy Tips to Eat Sustainably 🍃
This week is the National Week Without Meat (@weekzondervlees ) here in the Netherlands! Twenty thousand Dutch people commit to eating a week without any meat. Why? Because it is a small effort with an enormously positive impact on people, animals and the environment. By not consuming meat for a week the environmental impact of your diet is lower. You save on greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change and water use. Anyone who can manage not to eat meat for one week saves a whopping 101 liters of water, 79 kilometers by car and 770 grams of animal meat.

📢🗯 Eating sustainably and fairly is a more pressing issue than ever. 🗯📢

How do we make it easier to live sustainably? Perhaps by starting to increase knowledge about which choices we can make to live sustainably. For this reason, we wrote about practical tips for an environmentally conscious life. Together we can try to make better choices when it comes to fair and sustainable consumption. There are 7 easy food related tips I’d like to share with you! Link in bio 💚
