Welcome to my blog!

Writing about something I enjoy doing it’s not exactly the same as talking about it. It’s hard. But writing in English about something I enjoy doing, it’s much harder (I am a native polish speaker). I don’t know, maybe I am trying to excuse myself or maybe this little voice inside my head is trying to tell me “don’t do it, you won’t succeed anyway”. Well, the only way to quiet it down is to go for it and do it.

Life coaching is about taking challenges in life, stepping out of comfort zone and setting goals. I am a life coach and I need to challenge myself all the time. Ok, I don’t need to but I want to!

When I was a kid I dreamt of being a journalist. I interviewed my mum and dad, my brother and my cousins, cats and dogs…

They didn’t have to tell me much because in my imagination they had been celebrities, famous athletes, presidents. I was extremely busy making stories up.

I wanted to be a novelist too. (there’s still a story in my head..)

My favourite childhood author was Astrid Lindgren, the author of “The Children from Bullerbyn”. After reading this book I thought that Swedish kids are the coolest kids in the world and wanted to move to Sweden…

Later in life I had discovered the world of psychology and self-help books and I wanted to help people to achieve their best (it hasn’t changed much since thenJ).

Instead moving to Sweden, I moved to EnglandJ (different reasons). In my first year in the UK, I managed to put 2,5 stones on in short 7 months.

I hadn’t noticed it at first but when I saw the photograph of the overweight woman, I couldn’t believe it was me! Because “me” was a girl in skinny jeans and yellow t-shirt, not a monster in oversized t-shirts and tracksuit bottoms. To cut a long story short, it cost me a lot of hard work and self-education. This led me to taking an interest in healthy lifestyle and wellness.

Passion for writing, passion for self-development and passion for healthy living is what brought me to create this blog. It’s a great opportunity (in my opinion) to share the knowledge and experience, I have gained through years, with you.

It would be easier for me to write in polish, of course. But isn’t life about taking chances and pushing ourselves to greater heights?

So, I am challenging myself to make this blog aliveJ

And you are always welcome here!
