I'm glad you are enjoying the course so far, I can imagine it must be hard to find balance with a small baby at home but I'm sure there are also so many great things to experience as a new mother :) My mum always tells me kids grow too fast, you must enjoy every moment of your life together ;) I hope you keep enjoying the course (I love it so far too!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-56847725392998142372016-09-07T10:49:35.261+02:002016-09-07T10:49:35.261+02:00Thanks for your nice comment!

That's great, you seem to have a lot of projects and to learn many things, it must be harder with a small baby but it's important to focus on yourself a bit to be more energized for the family too. I do love these traveler's notebooks too, the small one I keep in my purse is absolutely perfect so far. I saw on their site they have diary/calendar filler notebooks so I may get one in January... Good luck on all your upcoming projects and classes, it sounds exciting!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-58506380464345292312016-09-07T10:46:56.150+02:002016-09-07T10:46:56.150+02:00Thanks for your nice comment!

I'm always surprised to see how many people also love Autumn, most people prefer summer but we are not alone liking the seasonal changes and great colours of Autumn :) General psychology also sounds good, I'll probably take one of these in the future. For now the happiness and fulfillment course is really great. Some things are similar as the Science of happiness MOOC, after all it is based on the same field of research, but I really like the way this course presents things with practical examples and good exercises so far. I did take the VIA character test a few months back, yes! The first one is indeed the love of learning, then there is perseverence, critical thinking, perspective and courage. I'm still working on ways to capitalize on these qualities :) I hope you find time to check out this course, I'll probably talk more about some of the subjects on the blog in the months to come :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-10893442166826795932016-09-07T10:42:10.502+02:002016-09-07T10:42:10.502+02:00Congratulations, that's great news!

And a big (and happy) life change indeed :) I understand having a baby can raise some questions about how to spend our time and focusing on what's important. September is going to become an even better period for you and your family from now on :) I'm happy to hear you could find some inspiration to simplify here, and I wish you all the best for the happy times to come for you ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-33123148111064584922016-09-03T17:30:31.847+02:002016-09-03T17:30:31.847+02:00Thank you for such wonderful post and for the wond...Thank you for such wonderful post and for the wonderful comments to it. We should never let go an opportunity to start again, it being September, January, or the middle of March, because if we feel like that it is probably because we need that fresh start. Thank you for mentioning Coursera. I watched a TED talk a while back about this project and I forgot to check it. I've actually signed up for the Hapiness and Life fulfilment course because I feel I need to work in this aspect. I've got a 1 year old baby boy and this year has been pretty tough, mainly because of having to deal with an internal fight between my motherly nature of wanting to be with him all the time, and my creative half, which has struggle to find any time to develop. Now it's getting a bit easier, but I thought this course would help me being more aware of my reality and appreciate it for what it is. I just finished week one and I'm loving the approach o the subject. Thanks again for the recommendation!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199549436404532696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-63374714757057818462016-09-01T21:28:43.482+02:002016-09-01T21:28:43.482+02:00So many wonderful things in this post!
I love the...So many wonderful things in this post! <br />I love the change of summer into fall and maybe for this reason. Though I haven't been in school for years, I love the feeling of fresh beginnings, a new year, a blank notebook, a brand new planner...and learning. Always learning. In fact, I planned for September to be the start of a few projects and goals that have been on mind for months. After having a baby (that turns one in October!) I feel like I need to make the space and time (however small it may be) for myself again. A little bit of creativity each day. I also signed up for classes on sustainabilty and lightroom. And while it sounds like I am taking on more, I feel like the past year I have been letting go of so much and focusing on what I truly enjoy or am interested in. And I am feeling inspired again! The class you are taking sounds so interesting. And how great are those traveler notebooks!

I am the exact same have such a love of learning, previously taking uc berkeley's general psychology class and also very much into the positive psychology movement - learning more about myself and how I relate to the world around me. Have you taken VIA strength tests, love for learning is usually one of my top strengths and innate curiosity. That sounds about right. Must check out that new course on Coursera - thanks for the recommendation :) My love for stationery is also there! Best of luck with the course, looking forward to hearing the updates.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573040077360796080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-52619088492471680472016-08-31T15:50:57.770+02:002016-08-31T15:50:57.770+02:00My first baby is due at the end of September so it...My first baby is due at the end of September so it's a big time of change. I've been on a process of simplifying my life for a few years (massively inspired by your blog) but pregnancy, and the need to slow down due to tiredness, has made me reassess my life more than ever and focus on what's important (which for me is writing poetry and drawing). This might also be that I'm worried I will never have free time again once my daughter's born! I have always loved September; the cosy evenings with lit candles, the excuse to eat lots of pies and crumbles with custard, boots and coats, red nail varnish, and the opportunity to press reset. Now Autumn will be a more significant time for me than ever. HanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
