Tunnel Vision

What did you see in the streets this morning? 

I used to rush to my work in the mornings. Caught up in my thoughts, having blinders on both sides of my head. With a tunnel vision, hurrying because I left my home too late, again.

But, one day I suddenly realised that this half an hour travelling to my work was also part of my life. Every day, I was throwing away half an hour of my life rushing without enjoying. 

When I noticed this, I started looking around me and I saw a whole new beautiful world. 

I saw little flowers opening in spring.
I saw beautiful façades of the houses of Amsterdam.
I saw little scenes that just made me smile. 

The list of new small discoveries is endless and I can truly say now that this tiny change enriched my life in many ways. 

My rushing-to-work-hour has changed into a valuable I-enjoy-life-hour!

What changes for you when you consciously take the time to see what happens around you?

Een olifant was ze, krachtig, oersterk. Maar ze was ook grijs, lomp, stug en zwaar. Ze had zich laten opsluiten in de dierentuin van de mensenwereld. Dat had ze zelf gedaan. Zorgvuldig had ze met haar slurf telkens een steen gepakt en deze gestapeld, totdat er een hele dikke, oerdegelijke muur ontstond. Stevig was de…

And then, you’re on your own.

Do you recall a situation when you were suddenly on your own? * Leaving your parents’ house when you went to university?* The loss of a loved one?* A divorce? There are many situations in which we all of a sudden feel left alone. I’m currently in such a situation. I left my job, my…

MOVE!

One of my friends is a cyclist. I never understood the fun of cycling. To me cycling is not particularly fun, a bike is a way to transport me from A to B. Last September, when we had some beautiful sunny days, I thought of going for a swim at a local outdoor swimming pool.…
