Long time no see..

It has been a while, since I wrote.

My blog
I did not forget about my blog!
It is cruel to say that I did not have time to write!
I just had a lot on my mind and was not ready to write about it!

Sharing
It is even hard to share it with you all.
It is nothing bad, but some choices I had to make in life!
So who wants to know, will know, or can also contact me in PM.

In the meanwhile 
What I have been done?
The exams are done.
They were harder than expected.
The whole group sufferd a failure, but hey what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
So we will not give up on nursing school!
The go-getters will survive!
And we still love doing it, but some people just underestimate nursing school :)!

Our home
Our new house is so nice!
We love being here!

January
January was a difficult month, I lost some hours from my job, so you know what that means financially!

So you can say I had a lot on my mind!

ACT
But I read a lot of things, and started my act/mindfulness group course!
I LOVE IT!
ACT means acceptance and commitment therapy!
It is very interesting and you notice that we all have problems!
So I like the people there but we have swore an oath of secrecy!
All I can say, if you need some inspiration: read books about it and go to a course.
You will so get to know yourself and face your fears, and make big decisions as I'm doing now!

Toxic people
I read a book about toxic people and how to deal with them!
Such a good book!

Some tips!
1)Breath breath breath when people annoy you!
2) If they joke or bully you, you could joke back, or say something embarrassing about them!
3) You can tell them straight on what is bothering you!
4) You can ask calming questions to drive them into a corner, so they can not go anywhere and have to explain themselves, what is embarrassing for them! Especially with liars!
5) You can make up stories about them how you would strangle them, without really doing it, but just relieving the anger, the fantasy story hehe!
6) You can tell your mind to stop thinking about them! Stop it!
7) UNPLUG! Get rid of them out of your live! THE HARDEST ONE! But sometimes there is no other choice!

Just buy and read
http://www.amazon.com/Toxic-People-Ways-Dealing-Miserable-ebook/dp/B011FFWNPS

It is really a good book!

Yes I have some toxic people in my live, I have tried everything to deal with them! Now I chose to unplug some people out of my life, especially the liars and pessimists! I can't take that anymore hehe!

So yes, Mindfulness/ACT is learning how to get rid of the demons inside your head, who are telling you bad things about yourself!
The toxic book is learning you how to get rid of people who are the demons in your life and head too!

So this is further my journey to a happy life, It can't be happy everyday, but it can be happier without some people and some thoughts!

Also a good site is http://www.marcandangel.com they also talk about a happy life and have some inspiring quotes!
I read them every day!

The rest of the time I'm trying to live by my values!

Colorectal cancer
I went to a congress about colon cancer! It is really important that people test themselves at age of 50! And earlier the ones who have it in the family! Here is a site in Dutch
http://www.stopdarmkanker.be you can also read it in French!
English I don't know, but if you need more information tell me! I will translate it for you!

Berlin
I went with Marko to Berlin, was such a beautiful experience and city!
We loved it!
We love to travel so!
In a next post I wil write some tips!
This is a blog about Berlin, you should visit it http://berlijn-blog.nl
It helped us really!

5 years with Marko
I wrote a nice blog about us, but Marko found it to intimate so I didn't post it, but we loved it and smiled about our nice memories! Hehe! I keep it in my diary!
Some memories I can share!
We met in Fazana, Croatia!
We love to travel!
We love to watch movies together, action movies.
We love our house hehe!
We had a rough time, he adapting in Belgium, I adapting to being a married woman.
But we support each other every day!
I love that he is a optimist! He loves everything in life, even chores at home hehe!
He supports me in everything I do, he loves that I studie and will make my office in the house!
I already bought some decoration:

My heart is grey hehe but it looks like this, I'm to lazy to take a picture!
And an other one
So nice no?
It reminds me every day to enjoy life!
I love my husband, and my life, my sisters!

We had a nice breakfast together the weekend before our date, and on that day 16/2/2016 we had a nice dinner at home! HOME SWEET HOME hehe!

Nursing auxiliary
And yes because I have lost some hours at my work due to students changing courses, I registered at an interim office as a health care assistant or nursing auxiliary (you help professional staff to look after patients in hospitals, nursing homes or in the community).
They call when they need someone and if I have the time I react tot the message and go do some extra work to compensate the hours I've lost :)!
It was really messy in my head, but when you get rid of the thoughts that are not helpful, you find the ones that are and they will give you strength to find solutions to your problems!

My first time working in a nursing home was really nice it was like practice but then getting paid hehe!
Everybody was nice!
The patients were nuns and very old, it is sad to see, so enjoy life now, because when you get old, everybody has to take care of you!
Thanks God there exist nice people as at that nursing home!

Follow your own path!! Even if it means going through the forest hehe!
And a big tip , something I read too!
When you have to choose one path or an other path?
Why choose at all?
Live the life you want too, you can have it all, it will not be easy, but why not having it all?
I love it when they say to follow your own path, to make your own path!
That is what I'm doing!
I love languages, I love nursing school and I want to be a mom with a career, why shouldn't I have it all? The big dilemma revealed!
And my languages helped me to win the book of the doctor who is helping people prevent to get colorectal cancer, because I know cyrillic!
So even in nursing my knowledge languages come in handy!


The more knowledge you have the better!
Be proud of yourself, get rid of toxic people in your life and have a lot of happy moments!
Live your life by your values!

Big kiss!
