".. and when you are ready - open your eyes" - this is the final phrase in the 7-minute meditation app. And I opened my eyes, watching the surf waves of Bali, the picturesque mountains of Laos and the blue horizon of the Caspian Sea in Aktau.

Sounds beautiful, doesn't it? In fact, I am looking for peace, harmony with myself, learning to get rid of fears and doubts, not to scroll through the same thoughts in my head.

Many people ask about the difficulties of traveling, expecting to hear colorful stories about bandits, pirates and conquering mountain peaks. In fact, the difficulties in traveling are exactly the same as in ordinary life. Fears, doubts, worries, bad habits, etc. And pirates and mountain peaks are just from the category of interesting adventures!

And as soon as I stop being sad about what I don't have now, stop thinking about what might happen, I start taking care of myself, studying something, reading, meditating, defining my goals, starting to meet and communicate with people - life gets better, everything goes easily, and I feel inspired.

Everything is so simple and so complicated. Here is the main difficulty, which does not depend on the type of activity and your place - you can either live and enjoy this life, or live the day, waiting for its end. The latter - people call burnout, we will talk about it separately soon.
