Wow, while creating this blog I saw that my last blogpost was from July 2023 and in my email provider I saw that it was August since my last weekly email.

Boy have I let go of everything! 😱 
That was the idea however 🤭 

I had come to a point that I wasn’t enjoying the things I was doing anymore.
Didn’t feel like writing, had a very strong reluctance to post anything on social media, didn’t want any customers….

I just wanted to live quietly, peacefully, just be.

That was the idea all along since my retreat at the end of 2022.
It took a new house and all that came with it however, for me to achieve to slow down.
I had a lot of decision fatigue and wasn’t at my best in May/June.
I still tried doing just little bits and pieces over summer until I realized it wasn’t fun anymore.

Back in 2022 I took the decision to only do things that I really loved to do.
So much for decision making and goal setting 🤣 

Anyways, I have learned to let go of business and now I only do what I feel like doing.
It’s still challenging however. 
It’s not easy for an ex-high achiever but I will get there.

It’s just taking baby steps, as with everything.
Step by step, making small changes and over time they will be huge.
I teach it, I apply it.

Together with two friends (@aida and @gabriela) who are very close to my heart, we have started a new project.

A podcast called “Tu Paleta de Placer” in which we talk about all kinds of pleasures in a very down to earth way. Sometimes in a serious way, most of the time in a fun tone, always being just ourselves.
Although in the beginning maybe with some nervousness.

Mainly, it’s just sharing the things we talk about when we are together, out in nature, having a coffee or lunch, only now in podcast format.

Although I write and work in English, Spanish or Dutch, the podcast is in Spanish.
I’m sorry for the not Spanish speaking people in my network because you’re missing out unfortunately 🤪 

I hope that the rest will follow me/us when we launch on the 11th of January.
I also hope that you will interact with us. That you will leave comments about your pleasures and how you treat them/live them.

It’s a project that we really enjoy doing and you get to know us in an informal way.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do making it ❤️ 

With love & health,
Monique
