This Friday we give you some tips for a mindful summer. In summer, I always find myself in a situation in which I want to do a lot and want to make other people happy, but have to little time to do everything. So I cram everything in my free moments. This results in a stressed feeling at the end of summer – which is precisely not the result of a summer I want to have. I don’t know why this always happens in summer. In the other seasons I have less trouble taking some free time for myself and getting my priorities straight. Maybe it is because in summer, most people have their holiday and I want to be able to spend time with everyone. With the Corona measures right now, the problem is a bit smaller, but I still feel stressed now and then. So therefore I wanted to give you and myself some tips to have a more mindful summer and to help you (and me) to get back some time for ourselves. Taking a little bit of time for yourself each day, is really beneficial for your physical and mental health. Get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and step away to give yourself some peace of mind.
This week’s traveling, meeting friends, experimenting with recipes and lots of fun from the students’ community 🧊☀️
Join us tomorrow morning (August 5) for a nice morning walk in Sonsbeek park! We gather at 9:30 AM at the entrance at the top of the sonsbeekweg. Meet new friends, get out of the house and enjoy the sun before it gets to warm! We still have to deal with the Corona measurements, so please keep 1,5 m distance in mind and do not join us if you have any symptoms! If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message!
I really like getting out of the house and into other situations that I can’t get in when I’m at home. Don’t get me wrong, I love being at home, I love the company I have there and the things I surround myself with. But I also love to meet other people, experience other things and discover new places. It gives me a sense of freedom to be able to go out and do what I want to do. The last half year has been difficult in that way. With the Corona measures in place, I couldn’t organize activities anymore and it wasn’t possible anymore to meet people in person. But I still needed to get out of the house now and then. Just to get some breath, get some fresh air and feel more space around me then I get at home. So what did I do? I started to take my bike and experience the nature around me. I started to see the things I normally didn’t have time for. I felt myself relax and know that there will always be new places to explorer in my own environment. I have spend most of my life in and around Arnhem. I grew up here and after my studies I bought a house with my husband in Arnhem. And still there are new places to discover, places that have been here for a long time but that I didn’t see before. And this, the knowledge that there are always new things to do, to explorer, to see in the place I thought I knew really well, gives me another insight. An insight in my own mind. Because also in my own mind are things I can yet explorer. Because of my occupation and the things I am interested in, I have reflected a lot on myself and I think I know myself pretty well. But what else is there to explorer? How can I surprise myself? What can I do, experience, learn and see if I look beyond the things I already know about me? Did you experience new or other things during the last half year? Did you learn new things? See new things? Enjoy other things?
In the neighborhood of Arnhem you can find a lot of nature and forests. The main attraction is the Hoge Veluwe and the Posbank where you can find a lot of wild life, special views, art and history. There is more nature to be found in the neighborhood of Arnhem. If you take your bike and drive alongside the river toward Doorwerth (10 km by bike), you can enjoy beautiful views over the river Rhine and you can visit the historical castle of Doorwerth. Along the way you can find many beaches on which you can enjoy the sun and the water. Around the castle you can find forests where you can take a walk. Especially with the warm days to come, you can find some refugee here in the shade of the trees or around the cooling water. The address of the castle is Fonteinallee 2B. You can also type ‘Castle Doorwerth’ into google maps. Choose the shortest route that follows the path of the river and I promise you, you’ll enjoy the ride
Our recommendation of the week is a book and movie called Perks of Being a Wallflower. This may be an old mention as  it was published in 1999 and the movie aired in 2012 but we believe it is a movie that can be watched multiple times as we grow and each time presents new themes and motifs to be explored. The story may sound quite cliche but bare with us a minute because it is not as simple as it may come across. The story follows the protagonist Charlie, a 15-year-old introvert, who enters high school and is nervous about his new life. When he befriends his seniors, he learns to cope with his friend's suicide and his tumultuous past. As we said, it may sound very straight forward but there are so many levels intertwined in this story of individuality, friendship, loss and secrecy. Enjoy & let us know what themes intrigued you most!
A many used metaphor for life is the road. We are always going somewhere and coming from something. We are travelling through life, figuratively and literally. We arrive at roadblocks, intersections and junctions. Every road is different, no road is the same. The goal may be the same, it may look alike, but to everyone the journey and the things we encounter on the way are different. So what is your journey? A part of mindful living is being aware of the things you take with you. The heavy load on your shoulders - if we want to keep using the road metaphor. What are you carrying around? Is it possible to make it lighter? To give your shoulders some rest? Is their a place next to the road where you can rest? Today I wanted to share some pictures of roads with you. All kinds of roads. Is there one that feels like the one you are on? Can you identify yourself with one of them? What does your road look like?
Keeping up with the students of Arnhem ☀️ Summer can look very different for everyone, that is why we want to see how you are doing. Send us what are you up to!
This week’s tip in Arnhem are the 7 straatjes. These are seven streets in the historical center of Arnhem. In these streets you can find beautiful buildings, nice little shops and some small restaurants. All the things you can visit here are a bit unique and if you want to find shops that are different from the big chains in the main street, you should go here. Picture from: Facebook 7 straatjes
