Now that I am living in Hawaii again for a while, I remember what are the best things about living somewhere, where it is summer all the time:
- Feeling like you are on holiday, although you are not!
- Drinking cocktails at happy hour time, because you are on holiday ….. or not? :-)
- Never wearing shoes. I am a girl, who doesn`t like wearing high heels or winter boots for half of the year. So it is paradise for me walking with flip flops the whole day or barefoot on the beach.
- Having wet hear nearly all the time. Never using a hair dryer or even worse a flat iron, but always have a nice hairstyle.
- Looking so good without make-up , because of the nice tan on my face!
- Starting the day outside at 7 am with a run or yoga or just a walk with my coffee and finishing the day outside at around 10 pm with a walk while eating ice cream or frozen yogurt.
- Being in such a good body shape because of so much activity during the whole day. You have so much energy here, that there is no other option than being active.
- Happy, smiling and laughing people everywhere!
- Every house or block of flats has a pool. I am particularly lucky with a pool and jacuzzi at the roof top (33 floor) :-).
- Walking next to people with a surf board under their arm like at home people walk with their skis on their shoulder.
- And for sure the ocean … the ocean is always overwhelming me. By looking at the ocean I get so many good new thoughts every day.
I would like to share some of them with you:
- Life is not always how you plan it. Change is inevitable, so don`t fight it, welcome and embrace it.
- Letting go can be scary, but try it! You will like it.
- It’s totally OK to be by yourself, alone; sometimes you need time on your own to grow.
- Silence is so important in life and has a big power.
- Just be who you are! Stop trying to fit in by adapting or hiding yourself and your happiness.
