invisible women (by a small girl)

"Where are the streets named after important women?"

​
In Portugal a large number of streets are named after key figures in our history.

Actually it seems we can only find a few women (one example being Saint Catherine of Alexandria). And that is noticeable even to young girls at age 3.

I guess that can only change for the better and at a fast pace, I would say ;)

I've been struggling with maintaining consistency in my fitness routine... 
Last week I had to stay at home with sick children and managed to do 600 sit-ups (300 each day) in between attending to their needs. After all I would be skipping gym and not sure if this week, with so many scheduled Christmas events, I will manage to escape to my Pilates class. Of course that on Friday I though that I should be able to do that everyday. 300 sit-ups. It seemed doable. But then came Saturday, Sunday and Monday again. Not one sit-up...


Consistency.
Consistency seems to be the key to success.
The end of the year is almost here and I bet you are almost starting to choose new resolutions or even new daily habits that we want to include in our routines... Need motivation?

"What began as a bamboo stand has grown into a dense 1,300-acre forest. The biome single-handedly nurtured by Payeng for nearly 40 years is home to tigers, deer, monkeys, elephants and a wide variety of birds."

At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished…
it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better,
it’s about what you’ve given back.

Denzel Washington


Definitely... But I guess accomplishment makes a big part of things. I wouldn't say 'in the end of the day' but maybe in the afternoon ;)

Stay in balance

5/12/2019

I've recently joined a new gym and after a few high intensity classes my scale allowed me to switch to a different 'stay fit' mode: PILATES.

I've been thinking about how the instructions differ from one class to the other.
From 'push harder' to 'don't push too hard'.
Pilates provides an awareness of each movement, each muscle.
It practically enlightens us to realize the wellness that 'staying in balance' provides.
It corrects our posture in such a way that the hour we stay in the gym goes much further: to the way we sit in the computer in the office, the way we walk, our posture at home.
It shifts us from having a weight in our shoulders to being able to breathe in and out so consciously that we gain more strength and energy each hour that passes.
It helps us to understand what is going on, to realize the consequence of each move, to correct, to adjust, to stay vigilant.
It helps us to be self conscious and flexible during turbulent times.
It's quite a lesson!
Like the pilates instructor says: "keep this thoughts with you through the rest of the day, the rest of the week".

>>>> BEING AWARE
>>>> BEING VIGILANT
>>>> SELF CONSCIOUS
>>>> IN BALANCE
>>>> FLEXIBLE


WHAT A POWERFUL MINDSET TO LIFE IN THE OFFICE AND AT HOME :)

* What about you? Do you relate to these guidelines at all or do you prefer to 'push harder' in all areas of your life?

    ABOUT ME

    My name is T. S. Coelho and I live in Lisbon, Portugal, with my husband and three kids. I work in the asset management industry, managing an equities fund.

    I decided to start this project in 2014 after realizing that my ‘grey finance world’ needed the color of writing after hours.

    The decision on the subject to write about was easy to figure out: I combined the need to figure out how to feel healthy even when I sit for about 50 hours every week to my life dream of social justice – well, in this case it’s more about justice in the office – if talented, hardworking, shy people hide behind their desks, others will take advantage and fill in superior positions with higher rewards, higher recognition and more important than that greater personal fulfillment.
    ​
    What I try to do here is to provide the means for extremely valuable people to find the confidence they need to succeed and to live a happier life. Enjoy!
