๐How can someone love and hate at the same time?
๐Be the best supported and the worst critic?
๐Show respect and disrespect simultaneously?
If you want to know the answer - look in the mirror and ask yourself, why are you doing this to yourself?
The biggest challenges we ever face start in our head.
There is no conspiracy trying to make our live miserable, it's just YOU vs. YOU ๐

All those sleepless nights, long hours of feeding, cleaning, washing, arguing, feeling overwhelmed and asking myself "why after 10 years I've decided to go through that again".
The Universe shows me this and then it hit me.
It was all worth it, because no matter what happens to me, how my life will turn out, when I will have to say goodbye - my kids will ALWAYS HAVE EACHOTHER โค๏ธ๐

Your life is great - job, kids, apartment - you have it all ....
Yes and No.
Why? - you would ask.
Maybe I'm just tired, maybe I'm just bored. Maybe I'm just so overwhelmed with everything that happens to me everyday that I just can't find the reason to be happy.
Is this bad, should I feel ashamed? Should I hold it in, and don't let anyone see or hear or feel that I am not happy all the time?
I am trying to accept the fact that you can't be happy all the time. That even if your life looks perfect, It is not always true.
It takes time, it takes courage, it will happen, very soon ๐ค
If you ever feel judge based on your achievements or financial status, let me tell you - your happiness is within you, not around you ๐
Leave me โค๏ธ if you agree.

Easter is the time when we stop to think, look back, appreciate what we have and what we've been through. We rarely really give ourselves credit for it all.
Even worse when others don't allow us to take that credit, saying things that make us feel less about ourselves and our achievements.
I was once told that "my childhood and all I've been through over the years was not that bad" like I didn't deserve to complain or feel bad about myself because million of people around the world have to go through a lot more.
At first I said "true, my life is not as bad" and the moment I said that I thought, so why aren't I 100% happy? Can't I simply enjoy my life, appreciate what I have? Am I just acting like a spoiled child?
No, not even close!!!
Looking back at that situation, I feel really bad for me but also for others who fall into the same trap.
I probably had nice time as a child, I had roof over my head, food on the table and clothes to wear. So I can't really compare my life to current situation in Ukraine or people starving in Africa or terror they live in North Korea. It's not the point to compare yourself, why?
Because my childhood, things I was missing shaped me, and only me. And they are an important part of my life, so nobody really gets the power to make it feel less impactful to me.
If I say I wish I was or had something - I can and should do it and I should be aware of what happened to me over the years and how in influenced my behaviour and my values.
Have you ever need in similar situation? When you opened up about something and in return you heard that dreadful line " it's not so based, what are you complaining about!"
If it hurt you, it left a scar - and only by speaking about it, you get closer to removing it โค๏ธ

"When we came home, worn to the bones, I told myself, this could get rough.
When I was off, which happened a lot, you came to me and said - that's enough"
One Republic
S**t happens, life happens, crisis happens, betrayal happens, death happens...
Will you stop and let it destroy you? Will you let it take all you've achieved so far by working so hard? ๐ฑ
Acknowledge it. Be aware. Feel the pain, anger, loneliness.
Give yourself time.๐
And then go back in time to that moment when you could move mountains. When you felt unstoppable. Invincible.
This is what you should hold on to โค๏ธ
S**t happens - but you are here to stay.

I've learned to say "no, I'm not ok".
๐ช Without feeling guilty
๐ Without feeling ashamed
๐ With acceptance and confident in myself
Because who know better what is best for me than ME?
Say it loud, say it clearly.
Whatever is happening in around may not be your fault, may not be impacting your daily tasks, but it sure can make you feel down, powerless and simply sad.
So when someone asks you "how are you today?" - be honest, with yourself.
It will set you free โค๏ธ

It's all about perspective. . .
For many years I've been working as an employee, individual contributor, someone who always had a manager to report to. Person who would make the final decision, control my deliveries and progress, set my goals and career trajectory - you know the deal ๐
It was fine and to be honest it never bothered me that much. However as I joined the mother's club pretty early in my career, I always had that guilty conscience and stomach twist when I had to prioritize my family over my work and as a result, couldn't deliver on my promises. Even I didn't want to take the leave, I simply had to, my child often had that ONLY MOMMY phase ๐
This bothered me a lot. I felt bad, felt like I'm not reaching my targets, failing .... And trust me, never have I ever thought to just leave it with my managers and let them worry about everything. How to cover my workload and make sure things are delivered on time ๐ค I would always support as much as I could and would really feel sick each time I had to send sick notes.
So going back to perspective ๐ years later, when I was given an opportunity to run a team, I saw things differently. Then I became the person responsible for covering gaps, meeting deadlines and making sure my team is happy and won't leave ...
I was lucky enough to work with an amazing people, often parents who were always honest and truly concerned about their workload. If they couldn't finalize their project, they would reach out early enough so we could come up with a solution. And I would appreciate that a lot, making sure they log off, and focus on their personal challenges and family needs.
What I am trying to say here is that you are an individual contributor and your work is important, but you are not irreplaceable ๐
If your family needs you, or if YOU personally need extra time to recharge - do it, be honest about your needs, challenges and don't be afraid to ask for help.
BTW - this is me out sick this week ๐ recharging, giving myself time to recover, worrying a bit of course, but working on it ๐ฅฐ
Do you ever struggle when off sick?
Guilty conscience? Or cool as a cucumber? ๐ค

When I became a mother I felt a lot of emotions running through my body, often every minute I felt something new.
Was it a beautiful experience to give birth? - no, it was painful, stressful and emotionally draining.
Was it rewarding to lock yourself in the house with a newborn and then a toddler for 12months+. Being their only provider, only protector, only source of life? - no, well maybe once a year when we visited our extended family, and could show them how kids grew up, developed and how smart and cute they are now.
Was it enriching to multitask and learn how to become freaking best housewife on the block, cooking, cleaning, feeding, wiping? - God no, I have lost my own identity and shattered it into smaller pieces which now my two kids own.
Will I ever get it back? Probably, likely but not guaranteed.
So if you are same as me, or at least every second day you feel similar emotions and realize it's not always sunshine and rainbows, let me tell you - you're not crazy, you're not a bad person, you're definitely not a bad mother. You are who you are, remember, before you became a mother, you were YOU.
Same here, I am Aleksandra full stop. ๐โฃ๏ธ

I don't know how she does it?!? ๐ And to be honest - I don't care. ๐ฅฑ
Have you seen that movie with Sarah J.P. "I don't know how she does it?". Where she is that super busy and successful working mom, with two small kids, nanny and super supportive husband? Where all goes great then all falls apart, they almost split up, kids are neglected and one of them gets hurt, in the end all comes back together again - Disney style. As they get to live happily ever after?
Well BS to that ๐๐
This is just a movie folks โบ๏ธ
And to be honest ever since I saw it, I felt bad, because if she can, I should too right.
Other moms can do it all - no they don't, they pretend they can OR even worse, they show to the outside world they can, while they die inside or torture themselves, and cry when nobody is watching.
Why are we doing this to ourselves?!? Are we so afraid of what others may think, say, do?!? This rat race is just not right, and still widely supported across the globe.
Well I don't intend to follow. I lost my faith, my nerves, my body, and my sanity at least hundred times over the past 18 months.
And I can honestly say - BS - fairytales are the most useless things ever invented.
Be real, be present, be responsible, be optimistic and be not perfect. ๐

How many times have you said to yourself:
"F**k it, I have to start over"
It could be in relation to your work, relationship, project you worked on - many things really.
But I want you to pause now and think - what have you felt when saying those words?
- did you feel excited - as you will get to do it again, from the scratch
- did you feel exhausted, defeated, ashamed - as you will have to face the same torture again
I was both and more than one time. I failed at work, relationships, projects - multiple times.
Hurt like hell, It left me on the floor, defeated, devastated, ashamed, alone. If only I knew that I am not the first girl in her 20's stuck in an unhappy relationship. Nor was I the first young mother struggling to find a so-called balance between work and motherhood. I wasn't the first to find more comfort in a bottle of wine than in the arms of a loving partner.
All this came to me a little too late - but it did. And I am now sharing this with you as a promise, that as cheesy as it sounds - things look much better in the morning, after a good night's sleep and a fresh head.
Are you ready to start over? JUMP your open mind and creativity is the biggest safety net you can imagine.

Heavy stuff ๐ฅ this will force you to stop.
When I was a little girl I used to be afraid of the dark.
When I was a little girl I used to be afraid of strangers, because they are scary, they will hurt me.
When I was a little girl I used to be afraid I will disappoint my parents, teacher (insert what is most appropriate).
Now I am not a little girl anyone yet still ...
I am afraid of the dark, the one that comes from nowhere, suddenly just locks me in, I can't move, I can't escape. It will hold me in for as long as it wants. Until I see the light again.
I am afraid of strangers, I struggle to trust, open up, be myself, be free, be vulnerable.
I am afraid I will be a disappointment, to my kids, my partner, my coworkers, my boss, even my neighbour.
People say "don't worry, he/she will grow out of it!"
Maybe he/she will or maybe he/she won't.
But as a parent/friend/partner/coworker/boss - we can notice it, acknowledge it, make sure others feel included and accepted.
Skeletons in the closet don't disappear, they need their ass to be kicked, and I personally, had no power to do it on my own.
Have you? If you don't have the power, where will you turn to get it?
Talk to others! Be vulnerable!

Do you know all the answers?
Who are you?
Who do you see when you look in the mirror?
What would your 10 years younger self said if they see you now?
Have you become one of those people you used to hate?
Are you the person you've always wanted to be?
Are you some who is fitting into the "profile"? (certain age, certain marital status, certain amount on your bank account)
Are you free?
Are you present?
Who are you not?
Do I have all the answers? NO!
Do I look for them? EVERYDAY!
What will happen if I find them? HAVE NO IDEA!
Am I scared? POSSIBLY!
But whatever happens, I know that it will be a step forward, and that is always a good thing.
With love,

๐try to connect with the interviewer, make eye contact, smile politely, but avoid loud laugh, and be gentle when moving around
๐don't obsess over body language, if you accidentally cross your arms or legs, that's OK ๐ whatever help you perform better and nail your interview

My relationship with work was never perfect ๐
I either committed too much or not enough - at least that's what I thought and that's what I was saying to myself. You know why?
Because that was others impression ๐
Other people, trying to fix their own incompetence, were throwing their frustrations at me. And would just sit there taking all in. ๐
Not realising how big of a damage it was causing, to mind my soul and my body.
So ... Now after 13 years I can honestly say:
If you want to give 100%, work extra hours, achieve all goals and impress all your stakeholders - do it because you want to, not because someone said you have to!
Know your WHY and have it written down and easily accessible!!!
Go for it - โฃ๏ธ๐๐
Can you honestly say your current job is what you really want to do? Or maybe it is, but you just always look at it through someone else's eyes?
Let me know, such talks are very much needed.

We went to this place 8 years ago, back then as friends.
We were in a completely different place.
Wanting completely different things.
Having different dreams and life goals.
โฃ๏ธ
Yet, we managed to find our way to be together. At one point, we've realized that although we may not be in the same place, we are looking in the same direction. Our values are similar, our experiences brought us together.
We often see things differently, we argue, we scream and shout, but in the end, we value LIFE the most. We take care of our health and body, knowing that we need both as a priority to keep going and enjoy what we have.
Working hard makes sense but in a short run, you MUST find a way to relax, take a break, look at things from a distance before you say or do something you may regret.
Do I love him? Yes, but when it gets hard, I remind myself that I love myself more.
Am I being selfish? No, I am a human being.
Keep doing what you're doing, the rest will fall in its place ๐ช๐๐
Take care,

I use to be very impatient, I mean like EXTREMELY!
I would get annoyed and throw stuff at others the minute I felt tired, unhappy, demotivated.
The same applied to my relationships. The moment I lost interest in someone, that was it. I would leave, hide and stop all contact.
Yes, that was me for years. I was quick to fall in love or commit to something, but it usually didn't last that long.
So what have I done to change that? ๐
Well, first of all, I've learned my lesson, the hard way.
I've tasted my own medicine, people started to leave me, co-workers were fed up with my attitude and I was struggling to build meaningful relationships.
I had to do something! And at that moment, anything was better than doing nothing. So I had to learn patience. I had to stop acting like a spoiled child.
Speaking of children. This probably won't be a surprise, but becoming a mother definitely helped me to learn patience. I had to adjust my schedule to someone else. I had to wait patiently until they were full and stopped eating, until they were ready for a nap, until the first steps, first words. Until they were finally more independent and I could focus a little bit on myself.
I had to WAIT, I couldn't just check out and leave.
Like I said, the hard way! But it was worth it. It made me a better person.
What is your current level of patience? Are you winning or losing your battles? What helped you to become more patient? Let me know below ๐
Take care and good luck,

Is my life perfect? ๐ค
Am I the happiest I've ever been? ๐คญ
What will happen with my kids when they grow up? ๐คฏ
How can I protect my family in the future? ๐ฅบ
I've been asking myself those questions over and over again, but it didn't really help me. In fact it caused more anxiety and caused powerless within me.
Watching others succeed and being happy on the beach doesn't help you move forward.
Focus on your present moment, be aware of your surroundings, pay attention to people around you. Use the resources you have access to today.
Set up goals, but without obsessing over it.
Hope this helps you to pick yourself up and move on.
Take care,

"Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle". - Charles Glassman
Big or small, our days are filled with challenges. It usually starts small, with that split second of hesitation, will I, should I, do I get out of bed with the first sound of alarm? Or do I just stay in, will anyone care?
On other days, we may struggle to leave the house, we look for an excuse to just stay in, watch Netflix and drink another vodka soda.
There are also days, when we simply can't relax, slow down, and get some desperately needed rest.
There are also days when we simply can't relax, slow down, and get some desperately needed rest. selves crazy, we will hit the wall, find ourselves at the end of the road ....

Check out my stories ๐ฅณโ๏ธ๐๐ช๐
๐คซ๐ค Have you ever asked yourself the below questions when leaving the interview room or finishing zoom call? ๐What happened? ๐I never acted this way before? ๐Why I've said all these things? ๐How come I couldn't remember such crucial details? ๐Where did this laugh come from? So, first of all - relax. This happens to all of us. Myself included ๐ And the most important thing is to find the root cause and keep it under control the next time you have to face the interviewer. โ ๐ช 1. Ask yourself if you felt more stressed than usual? Why can this be? Maybe you weren't prepared, or maybe you felt intimidated by the interviewer? (Yes, it's a thing and can impact your behaviour) Maybe you've forgotten something and didn't have a backup scenario so it completely threw you off balance? 2. Take a closer look at your routine prior to an interview? Have you had a good night sleep? Maybe you had a late dinner, and your digestive system didn't have enough time to process it? (Yes, this can impact your whole body and mind) Maybe you had a few drinks and still feel a bit hangover? Maybe you didn't have a proper nutritional breakfast and simple don't have the energy to think? Or maybe the opposite, you skipped breakfast but had a strong coffee instead which now kicked it really bad? 3. What is your attitude towards the interview process? Are you positive you will do great, or are you telling yourself you stand no chance? What way you talk about yourself? Is there anything on your CV you're particularly proud of! Or you prefer to hide? All of the above can and often will impact your interview performance. Get it touch if you want to work on it and feel 100% prepared and positive about your next interview. Practise makes perfect ๐ Take care and have a lovely day, Aleks โค๏ธ
Job interview rule no 3 - don't ever underestimate your competition. You're not the only one, there are others who want this job as much as you do, and they will use their knowledge, experience and personal charm to get it. Will you give up, or will you fight until the end?
Rule no 2 - don't go in thinking you know everything. "They" don't expect it from you, be honest and admit if you don't know the answer or can't share a specific example (if you never experienced it). But used this trick - if you're asked about a specific example and struggle to answer, ask if you can share a hypothetical situation or something from your college or high school years. Don't worry too much, "they" also check how you manage stress and find a solution when caught by surprise โบ๏ธ๐คช
Rule number 1 during your interview ๐โ ๐๐
