YASURAGI SPA .. HIDDEN GEM

Published on 18/04/201618/04/2016 by Jasmine Elnadeem1 Comment

It is not even my birthday yet but I decided to escape the rainy Stockholm on the weekend and treat myself and my boyfriend with a nice spa at Yasuragi.

OMG I didn’t think that the place is so nice till I saw it and then I was blown away. I didn’t even know that Stockholm has such a fine gem.

We went to Hasseludden with the boat to find our hotel which was surrounded with a pretty forest.

Imagine the rainy weather, and the cold temperate then imagine yourself swimming in the pool or one of the hot springs outside overlooking the forest and the Baltic Sea.

I loved the concept of “COME AS YOU ARE”, as upon your arrival you’re given your yukata – the cotton Japanese robe – along with a pair of slippers and a swimsuit. That’s intended to be your clothing during your stay, and you’re totally encouraged to wear it for everything including mealtimes. Awww it was so comfy indeed.

I had a massage, we used the sauna, the steam room, had an amazing healthy Japanese dinner, then I went for a body scrub and a face massage. Believe me I slept like a baby and felt so much energized.

Today I love my Monday but I’m sure that soon I will be longing for a night of “PEACE & QUIET” like that 🙂

Hope y’all enjoyed your weekend! XOXO

“SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO LOOK DOWN TO FIND YOUR INSPIRATION”

For the last few of weeks, every morning I wake up, get dressed and put the shoes on that will take me through my day. But finding the motivation isn’t that easy.

I remember when I began my fitness journey, I was not super healthy. For me it was no matter where I am or where I begin, what mattered was where I will end when I’m quite old.

I believe that all it takes is that first step we decide to take. Seriously, put one foot in front of the other and begin. It is not hard and it doesn’t require turning our lives upside down.

REMEMBER TO NOT LOOK LIKE ME, LOOK LIKE YOU. YOU ARE SIMPLY UNIQUE!!

I might inspire you and that is good but when I was younger, I was afraid to be myself, it is not easy to be different, now I don’t care what people think – we are all different in a way or another.

I can’t say I’m super confident, I’m no perfect BUT I’m super fine with who I’m today. So be like you not like anyone else!

Don’t get fit because you think you should or because someone told you but because you deserve to live a full, healthy and happy life. Get fit because you are the only one who will live in that body for long time.

Start small because the best result comes with those small adjustments to the things we do every day.

I have been sacrificing an hour of sleep to get up early and go training. Yes I felt I want to snuggle more into bed but believe me I feel super happy after my workout, especially when I see myself getting the right technique.

I’m trading up those hours of sleep for some healthy habits that’ll help me find more balance.

In the end don’t wait for the right time because you’ll have to spent your whole life waiting instead of living.

Wishing you all a healthy and happy day like mine, J

They say that reality is just a state of mind, but how to deal with a busy mind.

There are many things can make up a busy mind such as emotions, anxieties, fears, joys, relationships, etc.

You need to work with your mind and learn to drop your thoughts. Drop all these busyness, even if it may feel like you need to work on their content, it is ok to drop thoughts for a while.

Remember that busy mind leads us to do things to ease our pain in excess as watching too much TV, drink, emotional eating,feeling sick, etc..

It’s important that we learn to make compromises with our mind and not sit down with the discomfort. We need to learn when to stop chasing our problems.

Usually I know that I just needed to work less, relax more or generally revamp my circumstances and relationships in order to be empty my mind or live in peace.

But I also believe in the power of communication:

Sometimes all you need is sit down and write everything that is weighing you down mentally and then burn it and decide to let it go.
Speak up about the difficult experiences you passed as at that moment you will see them as useful and empowering instead of something to stress you out.
Tell someone how their actions affected you badly instead of holding it in and getting false conclusions.

In the end I always try to remember who I really want to be and I rather free my mind, grow, learn, express my emotions and thoughts freely. I won’t let my mind run on and on endlessly 😉

XOXO
