PAUSE FOR THOUGHTS


Jasmine ElnadeemJasmine ElnadeemJasmine ElnadeemJasmine Elnadeem

Life is sometime like roller coaster. You get hurt, you forgive, you will be happy, then you will be hurt again.

Sometimes we do the same mistakes because of an emotional need or because of being unable to change. Sure it hurts? But when you get to a point when you cry more than you laugh, then you might start to realize that you need a change in your life.

In bad times true friends show up, and those who liked you for other reasons fade away.

True friends are those who you can embrace your weirdness with them. You can be emotional, you can laugh and cry without fear.

Friends are important but as I grow up, I learn to stop having those who use me or take me for granted.

Yes we are all social creatures and we love communication with people, but I like to do that with people I love.

I connect with those who bring happiness to me, support me and stay with you in the darker times. Surrounding yourself with feel-good people is a sure way to happiness.

Some of my friends don’t live in Sweden but they inspire me and relieve my tension on the bad days.

I always wait for my daily Snapchat “Bonjour” and the Whatsapp funny pictures.

It was great to see my best friend in Amman, Jordan who took good care of me and I felt like a princess.

I’m counting down to be reunited with those who really care for me.

It is never late to make new friends, but we need to choose well.

XOXO

 

SUN-KISSED | JORDAN HERE I COME!

Good morning babes! My vacation and flight mood are on 🙂

How to have a blissful summer holiday? The answer is simple: plan to enjoy whatever summer brings you wether beach, villa, mountains or even those relaxing moments of breaks under the sun.

When my doctor told me few years ago that I have a cancer, I smiled. My therapist asked me to let it out and cry but I laugh when I panic or feel tired.

But lately I broke down front of my boyfriend and kept crying for over two hours nonstop. I said I’m tired emotionally and mentally. That’s (for me) the worst to deal with.

Tears are a signal to pause and allow people to feel sad but for me it was a signal to say I’m extremely tired. I need an exit plan!!

Finally I’m out for some days and it was so nice to wake up in my best-friend’s house in Amman, go for a morning walk and have breakfast in front of the pool. I think I can live here for a while. Hahaha I know that my best friend won’t mind me living with him.

I slept without Internet or notifications for the first time in a very long time then wake up to 33C in Amman. OMG I’m in heaven!

I have been to Amman before for a business trip but it feels so good to be back. It is so hot up here hahaha and that feels good.

These days all I’m doing is stop trying to be perfect. I’m gonna only enjoy the sensation of my body relaxing.

I’m learning how to manage my inner critic thoughts which can stop me sometimes from achieving my goals or enjoying my life.

I realized with the help of my therapist that sometimes I tend to say sabotaging things to myself while I always encourage others. I’m trying to talk to myself as if I was encouraging my dear friends.

Now I will jump in the pool like a kid and allow the sun to kiss my body 🙂

PUSS, J

IM HAPPY

Are you trying to find happiness but not sure where or what to do?!

I sometimes think that happiness exist somewhere which when we reach I will be untouchable and immune to feelings like sadness, anger or fear. But I know that happiness comes from acceptance and being at peace with who I am.

Rather than worrying about when the good time will pass, I will bask in the joy of it.

We need to learn to embrace joy more often and not just for the big moments but for the life’s simple pleasures too.

In the end HAPPINESS TO ME is knowing it will be OK in those dark times ★
