The difficult art of saying no

Saying no is often an unpleasant exercise yet out of all unpleasant things in the world, it can be the most useful one too. If there is one thing you are going to learn this year, please make it this one. // bunniesaremagic.com

If there is one thing you are planning on learning this year, please consider making it saying no.

One of my friends calls herself a prisoner of her own politeness. It is funny and cute, until one realizes how much this little name entails. And then one realizes that most of us are, in fact, prisoners to our own politeness. Stubbornness. Prior plans. Perfectionism. Peer pressure. Need to belong. Need to feel different. Stress. Laziness.

Ourselves and the world around us.

Here on my blog I talk a lot about freedom and choices, and how much it matters for us to be the agents of our own lives. Which, of course, always comes with not-very-predefined consequences too, as all magic has its own price tag (yes, even bunnies). There are many many ways to achieve this level of freedom, sometimes, but saying no opens doors that no other word is capable of.

We’re discussed trying new things. Living outside one’s comfort zone. Well, it is high time we throw it all away and learn a little, healthy selfishness. [Read more…]

If there is just one random fact you need to know about me, well, I am obsessed with orange trees.

For years and years each time I would visit a country where orange trees are natural residents, I would go on an orange tree hunt. I am not exaggerating. Just ask my boyfriend. Half of our photos would be of me hugging a random orange tree for the hundredth time. Yes, I hug trees. Please feel free to report me to any of my doctors. They probably figured it out already anyway. [Read more…]

How to ruin your year just as it starts

Have you ever felt like your life is just too peachy? Don't worry - with these simple steps you are going to ruin your year with little to no effort! // bunniesaremagic.com

New year – new me, right? Our brains love these imaginary doors that we can shut behind us and move on from, as if our past could be compared to a pair of old socks, too full of holes to wear anymore or even to keep in the cupboard just in case. With the new year come the reflections, the goals, the resolutions… and all that jazz our Instagram feeds get flooded with sometime around the beginning of December (with some occasional posts still popping up until around mid February). But let’s face it – the chances are that we screwed up the year 2017, most likely badly, so what gives us the sudden confidence to think that we can magically not do exactly the same this time? You have no answer? Well, maybe the question you should be asking yourself instead is how to ruin your year – and how to do it in style.

We are all experts at not delivering. Do not trust people who claim they are excellent at everything they touch. They’re either robots, lizards or both. Either way, stay away from them.

And, since we are of course doomed to repeat our mistakes over and over again, the best we can do is embrace our flaws and make sure we break the Biggest Screw Up of the Year record – as it is the only one we have a shot at.

If you’ve been around for a while, you should already know how to ruin your day or your work, but this time we are going to break the bank – I am going to teach you how to ruin your year just as it starts, from one master ruin-er to another. [Read more…]
