PS: Speaking of Collaborations, Inspiration, Deep Talks & Self Care:

Be sure to catch our WOW4.0 Insta Live Interview (auf Deutsch!) THIS Friday with the incredibly talented @shalymar_dance 🤩

TOPIC?
On Self Care ☺️🌸💕🔥💜✨

WHEN?
It’s THIS FRIDAY 16:00 CET/Berlin Time

WHERE?
At @wow21_bellydancetuning (simply follow the account and you’ll see the ‘is live’ pop up)

SEE you THERE 👀

SHARPENED VISION - What apparent limitations (or hurdles) have actually helped you see things more clearly/act more creatively in life? 💕

1. For me, seeing my LIMITATIONS in dance early on (lack of balance, trouble with leg work and turns/transitions) led me to take on (and still deeply love!) adult ballet.

It has helped my dancing enormously.

2. Later on, having to almost STOP dancing and teaching because of an injury made me have to become my own coach and physiotherapist (I’m still learning every day about movement and our bodies, I LOVE it!)

3. And finally, having to cancel ALL my workshops, performances, classes and events due to lockdown forced me to dive deeply into the world of ONLINE teaching (and learning!)

Without these roadblocks and limitations, I would NOT have been able to develop the online Strength - Flexibility - Dance BOOST Program, which is STILL helping to BOOST(haha) our Program Participants’ Dance and Movement mojo every day 💕🌸✨

How about YOU?

What ‘bumps/limitations’ in life have helped you grow and get creative?

CONCENTRATION - a super power that can be used to

CONCENTRATION - a super power that can be used to create lasting changes, spurts of growth and deep transformation.

In physics and in life.

How? When you focus all of your attention, all your power into ONE though, ONE moment, ONE action, amazing things can happen.

Creating art. Learning a skill. Kickstarting a Transformation.

Or.. Breaking a board (as seen in Martial Arts)

It’s NOT just about strength.. it’s about developing trust, confidence, relaxation, speed, aim, breath.. and most of all.. being 100% present

So how can we improve, or develop our Skill of Concentration?

Especially in these times of distraction.

ESPECIALLY if you are interested in many things.. and at the same time want to keep a sense of balance?

I’m glad you asked 😄

I thought about this a lot recently. And I think it is a matter of..

1. PRIORITIES
2. HABITS
3. CHOICES

So.. What does this mean in practice?

1. PRIORITIES

First things first.. make sure you get enough SLEEP.

Your short & long term memory, cognitive skills, physical learning(!), coordination, but also strength(!), your metabolism, hormones, digestion, allergies, mood.. all of these are affected by sleep. (or lack of it)

We all know it makes a world of difference.

And yet we often under-prioritize sleep.

Why is that? 👀

Knowing WHAT IT DOES makes it easier to give it the attention it deserves.

A GREAT book on this is ‘WHY WE SLEEP’ by Matthew Walker 👌🏻

Related to this.. SELF CARE in general.

If YOU decide to take VERY GOOD care of you.. everything else will benefit.

Right?

This brings me to..

2. HABITS

- We are creatures of habit. Habits often form WITHOUT us noticing. And then they start to take over.

The best way to counter this is to USE the POWER of Habits for GOOD.

How? Create healthy mini habits for yourself.

Keep it simple. Start small. OBSERVE your current habits & tweak.

Health(ier) food choices, moving your body, a bath, reading, time in nature, quietness, gentle strengthening, flexibility, journaling (Loved @manuela.bellydance ‘s class on bullet journaling at @wow21_bellydancetuning btw, see #bujo 💜)

But.. Where to find time for all of it?

See below.. CHOICES ⬇️⬇️⬇️

LOSING FOCUS - does this ever happen to you? Tha

LOSING FOCUS - does this ever happen to you?

That you’re doing fine, you think.. because you’re DOING fine things.

Yet you might be struggling to focus.. to finish tasks, to express your thoughts clearly, and/or to find/keep a clear sense of direction & motivation?

It happens for me.

Regularly.

And it usually means.. that I’m trying to do too much at once.

Again. 😄

We never stop learning, right?

It usually means I should halt the doing/thinking for a moment.. and maybe take a Pause (thank you @tingelingunn ☺️💕✨)

Regroup. Recalibrate. Feel. Sense.

Not always easy to do in the midst of things 👀

But so very necessary.

We usually KNOW what is good for us.

Right?

What helps YOU most to find your focus?

42 - THE MAGIC NUMBER Legend has it, it’s the U

42 - THE MAGIC NUMBER

Legend has it, it’s the Ultimate Answer to the Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything 👀

And this is what Life is all about, no?

Finding things out.. and asking all the questions 🌸

(Which, legend also has it, I’ve apparently been doing since the day I learned to speak 😅)

So.. What does 42 mean to you?

Please share your thoughts in the comments below!

(And, if you’re a dancer.. be sure to scroll all the way down for a GIFT ☺️)

For me, 42 means I am finding myself:

💕 1. in much better spirits (and health!) than I ever imagined to be right now. (this is in big part thanks to movement, martial arts, dance and BOOST!)

Especially ‘at this age’ 😄

💕 2. in the very best possible company, both in real life (thank you Mr E!) and virtually (thank YOU for reading this and being here)

💕 3. very very lucky (well I worked HARD for it 😄 but LUCK is always a factor, too) to be actually (finally!) doing what I love most:

..which is moving a lot, learning, dancing, reading, resting, getting out in nature

..and also teaching online (#BOOSTie love!!) creating/sharing from the heart 💕

ALL of these are connected 👀

#khalidaonline #boostprogram #42 #birthdayfun #givingback #boost22 #linkinbio #lifetheuniverseandeverything

PS: MUCH of this has been made possible thanks to YOU

So the BEST (and most fun for me!) way to celebrate this is to GIVE BACK 💕

INSPIRATION - So THAT was quite interesting this M

INSPIRATION - So THAT was quite interesting this Monday, no? (The FB/Insta/Whatsapp outage)

How did you feel about it?

At first I felt a bit annoyed (I was in the midst of posting a story about #FOCUS 😄)

Then I thought it was my phone/internet connection being wobbly

And THEN (we had gone to take Korean Sword Class and #Taekwondo in the mean time - so a few hours passed between these moments 😄) I realized it was the WHOLE (well almost) of social media that was offline

.. and suddenly I felt.. free 🙊

No more mass distraction.

That being said.. I had a PLAN for posting yesterday (for once 😆) and it went out the window 👀

Letting go.

HOWEVER.. what I got instead was a beautiful gift

I (re)found this gorgeous blue (haha) book in my shelf (the one on the right in this picture) - still unread - so I decided to Face-Book the classical way instead 😁

I’m so very glad I did.

This book (‘Mythos’ by @stephenfryactually ) is such a delight

ESPECIALLY if you love English, and humour, and English humour

ESPECIALLY if you love Greek Myths, Greece, and Myths

It even has a MAP (or two!), a pedigree, and a bunch of gorgeous pictures of paintings.

It has facts. And myths. And facts about myths.

Life. The Universe and Everything.

COSMOS.

It’s written with love. It’s a gem.

A gift.

And perfect timing, too (as I just turned.. 42 🤩💫🌏✨)

So.. Moral of the story:

Don’t panic.

Tell me.. what did you do with the ‘bonus offline time’? How did it feel?

(And will you read this amazing book? 👀)

HABITS - we all have them. And, whether we are c

HABITS - we all have them.

And, whether we are conscious of them or not, they have the POWER to literally direct our lives.

So, better to get to know them, no?

Let’s start with 1st of October.

A fresh month, with only 91 days to go(!) for the rest of the Year.

💕 What is one small good habit you’d like to keep/establish/make stronger in the coming month?

💕 What positive effects would this habit have on you in the long run?

💕 And a bonus: What is a small, but detrimental habit you’d like to let go of this month? (or transform/change/attach to a healthier one, so it does you more good?)

September was a month to experiment with this for me.

Inspired by @delanna_probellydance ‘s #40dateswithme - and a book (@atomic.habits_ by @jamesclear which I HIGHLY recommend) I decided to take a closer look at my morning/evening routines

WHY?
☑️ After a fun, but quite busy July/August summer I was starting to feel vaguely unfocused
☑️ Days went by just a touch too fast, I was having too many coffees, and time felt ‘slippery’
☑️ I had been working more, feeling super motivated & creative, and at the same time neglecting my movement routines
☑️ result: my body was feeling more achey by the day, and my energy became more erratic
☑️ By end of August, I was feeling too frazzled to properly plan out my months/days/weeks (or take a break)
☑️ What did it for me: I noticed I started more of my l days checking my phone, and I ended more of them doomscrolling (whyy?)

So. Mini intervention needed.

What I did:
✅ EMPLOY a few of my existing morning habits (coffee & checking my phone) and wrangle them into something more healthy-for-me:

The RULES:
✅ ONE morning beverage (coffee or tea)
✅ Daily journal (I’ll expand on how I journal in the ‘ironing party IGTV’)
✅ 5-10 Minutes of mobility (I do my journaling on the floor, so it is easier to combine)

The GOAL:
✅ Keep it up for 30 days (#sepfcareseptember)

MEASURING:
✅ picture/video of the setup (AFTER journaling) and post it in my morning stories

This helped enormously, because:
- I still had my coffee
- My phone is used for documenting, not scrolling

LIKETIME - Let’s celebrate the change of Seasons

BUILDING HABITS My morning routine (inspired by #

BUILDING HABITS

My morning routine (inspired by #40dateswithme by @delanna_probellydance ) for the month September is:

1. Having a cup of coffee (or tea)

2. Morning journal (I record my dreams, or thoughts/experiences, things I want to do, things I have learned, things I am thankful for, things I’d like to do differently, my mood, and what I’d like to focus on for the day..

3. At least 5-10 minutes of gentle stretching/mobility/movement (I now integrate it into my morning a bit more freely, and I do my journaling seated on the floor) usually this becomes a bit more.

The trick is to get started.

On some days this part includes just a few minutes of belly breathing on the floor (we did this at BOOST today for our relaxation), on other days it’s leg stretches, or strengthening exercises for my feet, abs or upper body/hip mobility work

For self-motivation amd accountability, I post a daily picture of my journaling setup in my stories (except on weekends, where I do my best to be a bit less on my phone)

This also helps, a as long as I can resist temptation to scroll right after posting 🙈

I’ve been doing this routine every morning now (or early afternoon 😅) for 21 days - since 1st of September

The effects:

I am drinking LESS coffee funny enough 😄 I’m enjoying it more instead.

This week were the first days I have been doing this routine on teaching (BOOST) days, and I love it.

I was worried it would take me too much time to combine it with class preparations, and I wondered if it would make my teaching mornings feel too full-of-tasks.

But somehow, it’s the opposite.

I’ve magically felt like I had more time to get ready, and my mornings feel more calm and focused overall, so the routine is definitely a keeper 🌸💕✨🤗

So I want to keep it going for at least the remainder of the year

It will help to keep me fit and focused while I start preparations for #BOOST22 👀🌸💕✨

And you? What are your morning routine(s)?

THE TIME IS NOW. Do you ever think (or feel) ‘I

THE TIME IS NOW. Do you ever think (or feel) ‘I am too old (or: it’s too late) to start with… xyz ?’

Don’t believe that thought.

There is more learning potential in each of us.

We can change, evolve, grow.

Learn new skills.

Change our habits for the better.

Update how we view ourselves and the world.

Even as adults. Especially as adults.

- I started working in IT at 21
- I took on belly dance at 23
- I started taking adult ballet classes at 27 (cross training!)
- I began studying/performing/teaching bellydance full time at 32
- I joined my first taekwondo class at 36
- I started taking pointes classes at 37 (thanks to taekwondo 🙏🏻 I’ll share more on this later on)
- I began studying korean sword art (haidong gumdo) at 39

And today, at almost 42, I am preparing for my second degree black belt test in taekwondo (it’s TOMORROW! 😱)

A bit surreal, right?

I would have never known that this was possible without taking on that very first try-out class.

The lesson?

It’s never too late.

Take that class.

Read that book.

Sign up for that course.

Follow your interests.

Pursue whatever makes your heart beat faster.

Simply start.

Invest in yourself.

Life is short.

You may as well learn a thing (or two!) while you are here.

Right? Right.

It time/age/duration were not an issue, what would you love to learn/start/do right now?

PUMPKIN SOUP - Yess, it’s that time 🎃 I want

PUMPKIN SOUP - Yess, it’s that time 🎃

I wanted to re-share this recipe from my blog, but I just realized I haven’t actually posted it there yet 🙈

It’s super easy (even for me 😄 it’s my favourite soup) Healthy, hearty, warming, and delicious!

You can adjust the amounts depending on the pumpkin size 👌🏻

(or use whatever you have at home, it will still work)

Here goes!

What you‘ll need:
(Serves 4 Peeps)

INGREDIENTS
- a few tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 pumpkin (any kind you like, I use hokkaido of +- 1KG because that’s what they have at Aldi 🎃✨)
- a bunch of onions and/or shallots (whatever you have, I used 2 red onions and 8 shallots)
- garlic (2-4 cloves, or more if you like it strong 🧄💪🏻)
- red chili peppers (2-4, or more if you like it extra spicy 🌶🌶🌶🌶)
- fresh ginger (4 cm)
- a few stalks of lemongrass (fresh or dried)
- veggie broth (1 Litre)
- coconut milk (800ml)

SEASONING (optional, but yummy):
- a bit of cilantro (or koriander)
- a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds
- pinch of salt

PREPS:
- peel, deseed & dice your pumpkin (& weigh it)
- peek & roughly chop onions, shallots, garlic & ginger
- de-seed peppers (unless you like it SUPER HOT 🥵😅) plus wash the lemongrass (if it’s fresh) and finely chop both

ACTUAL COOKERY:
- heat olive oil in pot
- add shallots, onions, garlic, ginger, & the chili pepper (or cayenne powder) + lemon grass
- sauté (stir on medium-high heat) for a few minutes until the things start to soften
- add the broth and coconut milk
- stir once more, keep an eye on the pot until it starts to boil
- close the lid, and continue to let it simmer on low heat for about 20 more minutes
- once the pumpkin us squishy, take the pot off the heat, and blend you soup until.. blended

SERVE with (optionally)
- a bit of cilantro (or parsley, if you’re into that)
- a pinch of salt
- roasted pumpkin seeds

ENJOY!

Let me know if you try this (and how you like it!)

STOP AND SMELL THE.. what?

Two questions for you today:
🌸 What are you thankful for right now?
🌸 Do you know what these gorgeous flowers are called? (They’ve been blooming wildly for weeks in our neighbour’s back yard)

It’s crazy how the smallest things (like how the light shines through these flowers) can sometimes catch you by surprise, right in the heart 🌸💕✨

Wishing you an amazing earth-spin 🌎 and keep an eye out for those little (big) things around you today 🌱👀✨

SEPTEMBER - This is where we make decisions 🌚 What can you let go of to make space for the new?

Trees are still green here 🌳 yet the leaves are starting to turn 🍂

How does this happen?

Choices.

Priorities.

Nature is letting go right now of what’s not needed. Saving energy.

But also.. It’s putting that energy into the new.

Did you know trees already build their spring buds before the leaves are falling? (I didn’t)

Think about it.

The best things in life require us to actively make space for them.

How about you?

What no-longer-needed set of actions, thoughts, habits, choices, self-talks, environments are right now eating away at (or blocking) your energy, creativity, joy? 🍂

🍃 What are the things you’d like to let go of this month?
🍃 Where would you like to invest that saved energy once you do?

If you like, please share your thoughts in the comments below!

(I will add mine in the comments, too)

PS: This post (and about 99% of the things I am posting on IG this year actually 😄) is inspired by @delanna_probellydance 🔥

I am currently taking her @kickass_kurs IG Creativity Course (in German, I love it 🤯) and there’s a second round of it happening this November/December

CHECKING IN - Hello, how come it’s already Septe

CHECKING IN - Hello, how come it’s already September? 💕👀

How are we doing right now.. How are YOU doing?

- What are you working on?
- How do you feel?
- What are you happy with?
- What will you give yourself this September?

Please share in the commments below! 🌸

For me, the days between summer and fall are one of the favorite times of the year.

I can feel the energy shifting.. from outwards to inwards 🌘

August has been a month filled with action and inspiration.

Teaching BOOST (so much love!) as well as being part (participant and guest teacher) of @delanna_probellydance ‘s @kickass_kurs have both filled me with joy, energy and more inspiration than I can manage to process 🙈

It feels like the perfect time for a break.

I’ve learnt this the hard way..

When I get inspired, I can work work work (haha) and create non stop.

It’s NOT sustainable.

Things start falling by the wayside (important ones, those that replenish me the most)

Relaxing, reading, meditating, gentle stretching, time in nature..

And I feel it.

My body starts getting aches, I feel less moveable.

My mind feels restless.. sleep suffers.. I start to worry about smaller things..

And Im noticing that I’m checking my phone just a tad too much.

Not so good, right?

Do you recognize this? 👀

..The solution is easy.

(Re)balancing is a matter of.. HABITS

If I have time to check my phone.. I have time to do healthier-for-me things. Right?

So how do we know what to do?

Listen in.

For me journaling helps enormously.
Writing it out. It helps me focus.

Getting enough rest/sleep (I’ll write more on this later on!)

Drinking enough water

Moving gently

Reading an actual book

The Essentials

If I do these things, I feel more calm.

More clear.

And it helps me make better choices overall.

Sooo.. Inspired by miss @delanna_probellydance I’m officially declaring September to Self-Care Month

Giving myself 30 Days to build a healthier, sustainable MORNING ROUTINE:

✅ A warm beverage (coffee or tea 🫖)
✅ A bit of journaling
✅ At least 5-10 minutes of gentle movement

Will you join me? What do YOU need?

Let’s cheer each other on 🌸
