## Do I feel nostalgic? 

Well, I love seaside but not on a passive base like when people go to the beach just to sunbathing and doing nothing. 

I prefer reading, meditating, practicing yoga, walking, playing and so on. 

## So, am I nostalgic? 

Actually no. I am simply thinking that living in a place closer to the seaside would allow me to breathe better air than Northern Italy that is densely populated by industries, factories with much traffic. 

I do not feel nostalgic because the next week the Yoga course starts back and at the end of this month I will leave towards the secondo Module for my Yoga Teacher Training Course. It lasts one week and it’s quite a busy week, very dense in activities and a lot to learn and experience.

Last weeks have been very dense of meetings, appointments, works to be planned for the coming future and so on.

It’s nice seeing movements but it’s also better to enjoy and appreciate the work that I do, meaning that I would literally work much more hours than a normal working day *BUT* I also like other things I am carrying on, so I think I found a sort of correct balance between work, private life, and personal activities. 

Currently I am working on different areas within the crypto-field, mainly with managerial/business-related roles as it’s my real field of expertise. 

I had a call yesterday with a couple of good people to evaluate how to setup a community here on Hive, and it was good too. Much insights from experienced people and a lot to learn. Like all the times. 

But what I see that differs me from other people is that when I learn something I really believe in or I am determined to pursue, I do my best to put it into practice. 

>In theory, theory and practice are the same. In theory they are not

Practice requires efforts, like in Sanskrit is called “tapas”, the “result through the effort”. 

People are just got back from vacations: I bet that you have heard at least one people saying:

>all the relaxation of holidays has been burnt in the first working day (or even less)

Try being relaxed in all the moments of our life is a great step towards a healthier life, healthier relationships and better results in general.

Life is a matter of balance: even while evolving, we will see every time bigger forms of balances where that evolution is integrated into a bigger system of equilibrated systems. And while feeling stressed at work or in other occasion, the speech that helps me the most is:

>I am not my work. I am not my money. I am myself and I can overcome it

So, like I was nicely commenting with @galenkp a few days ago in his Weekly Contest, here I am again, everyday, running my evolving balance :D
