    5 WAYS TO OVERCOME FEAR ✨ Some people become ov 5 WAYS TO OVERCOME FEAR ✨

Some people become overwhelmed by fear and want to avoid situations that might make them frightened or anxious. It can be hard to break this cycle, but there are lots of ways to do it. You can learn to feel less fearful and to cope with fear so that it doesn’t stop you from living.

1. Understand fear and embrace it. 
Fear exists to keep us safe. Embrace fear as instruction and let it inform your actions, but not control them

2. Visualize success. 
Athletes may imagine the successful completion of a physical task thousands of times before achieving it. This mental mapping ensures that when the body moves, it’s more likely to follow its pre-ordained path. The same practice will prepare you to succeed at whatever you’re trying to achieve.

3. Rewire your brain to stop focusing on the worst possible outcome. 
Ask yourself what’s the worst that can happen? Sometimes the reality is bad, but often you might find that the fear itself is worse than whatever it is you’re afraid of happening.

4. Have a positive attitude. 
Ask yourself “What would you do differently if you were absolutely guaranteed of success in any undertaking?” Would you try more things? Would you keep working long after others would have given up? People who have positive attitudes are successful because they keep trying after others give up.

5. Face your fear if you can. 
Exposing yourself to your fears can be an effective way of overcoming this anxiety

    9 MINDSETS AND ATTITUDES THAT WILL IMPROVE YOUR OV 9 MINDSETS AND ATTITUDES THAT WILL IMPROVE YOUR OVERALL PERFORMANCE 🌞✨

The single most important factor influencing a person's success -- whether personal or professional -- is mindset. What you think about consistently has a direct impact on your behavior. So, it's important to get this fundamental ingredient right! 

This is why I am sharing these 10 mindsets with you so you can improve you life and overall performance. 
Here’s the list:

⭒ Choose courage over fear. Push yourself beyond what you think you’re capable of.

⭒ Believe in yourself. Attitude is everything.

⭒ Choose good company. Surround yourself with people who talk about visions and ideas.

⭒ Adopt self-chosen goals. Doing this will help you really achieve them.

⭒ Have a purpose and a vision. Make your goals visual in order to really see them.

⭒ Accept the challenge. Whatever the challenge is – accept it.

⭒ Be willing to take risks. You only regret the risks you don’t take.

⭒ Do what you love. You won’t love every aspect but do love the big picture.

⭒ Gratitude. Never lose sight of how lucky you are.
    5 EXCITING WAYS TO LIVE A MORE ADVENTUROUS LIFE 🏔 🥾 🌞 

For me adventure is exploring other countries, being one with the wilderness, feeling the fear and doing it anyway and designing a life that you are inspired to live.

Stepping outside of your comfort zone won’t just make your life feel more interesting, it will also change you for the better — making you bolder and more self-assured while improving your social skills. With these 8 ways you will definitely step outside your comfort zone and live a more adventurous life. 

1. Set yourself up to fail
Failing sucks. But it is what helps us grow the most. Think about something that you are intimidated by and take the first step toward learning the skill. You may surprise yourself with what you can do, and you’ll even learn from what you can’t.

2. Commit to exploring
You don’t need to have a big budget to start exploring. You can go on a hike you’ve never been to or take a spontaneous road trip in your own country. In the meantime you can save up money that will help you cross of one dream destination per year.

3. Get physical. 
Just like our minds, our bodies need to be challenged too. The adventure depends on how you define fear. You can either go skydiving or you can get dirty in a mud race. The idea is to push your physical boundaries and get uncomfortable. 

4. Say “yes” instead of “no.” 
When someone invites you to do something different and you are feeling lazy or insecure, fight the urge to resist, and go for it instead. 

5. Make new friends
Opening yourself up to new friends will challenge you to think differently about all areas of life.

    HOW TO WRITE THE PERFECT BIO ON INSTAGRAM ? Safe HOW TO WRITE THE PERFECT BIO ON INSTAGRAM ? 

Safe this post for later ❕❕

Research has shown that it takes someone less than 2/10 of a second to form an impression of your account. As we all know the first impression is key to turn potential clients/followers into real ones. This means that your photo and your bio make the first impression of your brand. 

✺ Think carefully about what you put in your first line (called name field). 
This is the only thing that is searchable in your bio. Whatever you are going to write there will help people to find you. 

✺ Add your location 
Companies who want to send you products to try, will probably not want to ship overseas. When you list your locations, it is easy for potential clients to determine if you are a good fit for them. It also opens opportunities to collaborate with other local influencers. 

✺ Mention your niche and topics you discuss. 
Make sure people know what they can expect to see in your feed. 

✺ Mention your email address. 
A lot of people don’t see the email and contact button. They simply don’t know how to reach out to you. 

✺ Add a call to action 
Research has shown that when you add a call to action in your bio it can help increase clicks with 200%. An example of a call to action can be: Subscribe to my YouTube channel.
    You see, I’m not looking for an ordinary life. T You see, I’m not looking for an ordinary life. That’s not the life for me. 

I live for the moments of adventure, imperfections, excitement and awe. 

I want to 

Travel down dusty roads without a destination in mind. Climb a mountain and scream out into the void. Explore the wilderness (particularly the one within). Think less of destiny and more of the moment right here. 

Because in the end, as you reflect back on your life in that hospital bed, surrounded by all your family and friends, fame won’t matter, nor will the extent of your wealth - you are only the sum of the stories you can tell. 

What are the moments you live for?✨

This has to be my most asked question so here we go:

✺ FREELANCING 
You can become a freelancer in almost any industry and offer your services to a business or individual. You can decide what service you want to offer, make your own hours and choose who you want to work for. 

✺ SELLING DIGITAL PRODUCTS
Some examples of digital products are video courses, E-books, templates, etc. You can sell these products on you own website or for example Etsy.com

✺ WORKING A REMOTE FULLTIME JOB
Everything becomes more digitally focused so remote jobs are rising in every industry.

✺ BLOGGING 
It takes some time to monetize your blog but once you get there you can earn money through: Ads displayed on your blog, affiliate links and sponsored posts. 

✺ SELLING STOCK FOOTAGE 
For photographers and videographers, selling stock footage is an opportunity to make easy money, build on existing portfolios, learn and specialize in new skills

It’s been 2.5 months since I packed my bags and moved to this beautiful, tropical island. I traveled quite a bit and I wanted to share my favorite activities here in Bali with you 

✺ Chasing waterfalls in UBUD. It’s no secret that Bali is home to some spectacular waterfalls. Set in the heart of the Balinese jungle, waterfalls are my favorite place to enjoy the calmness. My personal favorite is the Tibumana and Kanto Lampo waterfall. 

✺ Climbing MT. Batur. Hiking up an active volcano in the middle of the night will never get boring. You will be rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise🌅 

✺ Exploring the Tegalalang Rice Fields 🌾These rice fields are huge and perfect to capture some amazing photos

✺ Surfing in Canggu 🏄 Whether you want to take a surf lesson or just rent a board. This is all quite cheap in Canggu. 

✺ Watching the sunset from the beach. I mean it when I say that the most beautiful sunset’s I’ve ever seen were here in Bali. 

✺ Taking the boat to the Nusa islands and explore them ⛴ So far I’ve been to Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan and I loved all of them. 

So what’s your favorite Bali activity?
