Today is the Summer Solstice — the day when the Sun is at its highest point and its energy is at its strongest.
This is a celebration of summer’s arrival, the full bloom of nature, and the harmonious union of the four elements: Water, Fire, Earth, and Sky.
It is considered one of the most powerful energetic peaks of the year, when our manifestations, intentions, and desires are literally “heard” by the Universe. It…

Where Is Your Train Taking You?
There’s this Japanese saying that goes:
“If you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station. The longer you stay on it, the more expensive the return trip will be.”
I came across this quote-metaphor a while back and really loved it.
Ever since, I’ve been using it as a tool in my own life. I regularly check “where this train is taking me” — if I keep doing exactly what I’…

If something doesn’t work out — you bomb with a client, flop on a date, say something awkward to a stranger on the street, blurt out the wrong thing to a friend, or just mess up in any way — fix what you can, learn the lesson, and tell yourself: “Next!”
Life’s too short to obsess over every situation where you screwed up.
It’s normal.
It happens to everyone.
Everybody mak…

Simply because regularly consuming someone you genuinely don’t like — in their lifestyle, way of thinking, attitude toward everything, and energy — means getting infected every single day, over and over, with something that’s completely alien to…

The Magic Phrase “There Is No Mountain”
In my upcoming book Just Slide, there is a profound parable about a city whose inhabitants — snails — would exhaustingly climb a mountain made of sun every single day.
When they were asked why they were doing it, the snails answered: “That’s just how it’s done. That’s how it’s always been.”
They would become utterly exhausted until they heard something simple: “You don’t have…

Mastery of Life Cycles: Don’t Mix Up Yin and Yang
Life isn’t a frozen ice rink — it’s an ocean that’s constantly breathing.
The skill of a Wise Surfer” is knowing how to sync up with whatever cycle you’re in — whether it’s a period of full drive and momentum or a forced slowdown.
Most people suffer because they constantly confuse the cycles.
They try to beat a dead horse during a passive (Yin) phase, and then fan…

What's the art of sliding through life all about?
The way I see it, we gotta slide (through and between):
- between our different life cycles, with their limitations and opportunities (including those way-too-huge opportunities that we want so bad but it's impossible to master them, and those super-unpleasant limitations that piss us off),
- between different people,
- between our desires and our obligations — be…

The Unwise Surfer wastes the precious time of the current cycle complaining that “the wave isn’t big enough.”
He stays stuck in “not given enough” mode, fights against things outside his control, and eventually drains his energy through self-sabotage.
He misses the real opportunities available right now — whether it’s youth, solitude, or a quiet period — because his mind is always somewhere else, in a “better” seas…

I haven’t written for quite a while because… in the meantime, I managed to write a new book! :)
The book is about the Wise Surfer and the Unwise Surfer of life.
This is exactly what I’ve been practicing a lot lately. Surfing in the middle of difficult circumstances. And honestly, this has been my main specialization for the past 20 years.
The book is still far from its final release. But over the next few days, I’…

3️⃣ Unload everything from yourself (unload your brain, your psyche, what’s going on)
Here, both once and continuously, you need to unload absolutely everything — worries, tasks, thoughts, feelings, emotions, difficult situations, plans, drafts, conclusions, and much more.
Then all of this will minimally overload your head.
You can start doing this y…

Part 2️⃣ Tone down your ego (in a good way).
Stop wanting to “be on top” always and in everything, to be the one who always decides everything in situations.
Sometimes we rule. But often — we don’t, and we need to learn to be calm about that. To accept and surrender (in a mature, healthy way).
Bring in healthy humility and modesty.
Say:
It is what it …

We went with my son to Marta’s temple. She was his classmate. A little over a year ago, she died tragically due to doctors’ fault — she was 10. Her ashes have been kept in the temple since then — it’s a great honor.
Today is Akshaya Tritiya — one of the most powerful days of the year in Hinduism. They say today is a good day to start something important, to remember what you dream about, to take at least a small ste…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @gettingclose_anna. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
