Hi I am Sonia, Founder of Olanova and I welcome you. Before you start reading, a quick disclosure: English is my second language, and I am not going to use an editor. I want you to receive me and love me with my imperfections and Yes, I am very professional and I will get better with your help. Love me or love. This is me. Enjoy it!
Life
has two faces like a coin,
on one side it feels relaxed and satisfies, then on the other it
feels driven and unhappy. Trying to pleasure others, be recognized,
be loved, be accepted by other people. Lose more weight, be this way
or stop doing that. Do good. Strive to be perfect.
Each
day you're bombarded by thousands of messages "buy here, pin me there,
like me now". We can get lost ourselves on them and
sometimes don't see the purpose on it. More stuff it doesn't mean
better but we lie to ourselves thinking "I am busy=I am
important" when in reality we may spent 3 hours updating and reading
other people's Facebook status! What is it that we doing? Have you ask yourself?
Try
to feel disconnected for more than a few seconds, get alone for a few
minutes. Try to turn off your phone and see what happens. Do it.
Worth, in this culture is based greatly on accomplishments, money, and
appearance; you have to keep improving, and the bar keeps
rising...and rising...
Past experiences leave a trace. We choose our own memories. Advertising also leaves a trace. So there's a background sense of anxiety, resentment, loss, hurt, or inadequacy, guilt, or shame that makes us over-react today. Overreaction is what kills creativity. Are you really want to create something bigger and greater? Stop negativity and the anxiety!.
There is continuous change, but we can feel still. We can choose what we perceive, our emotions, desires, friends. We decide who we want to serve. We feel safe with people like ourselves who believe the same, dress the same, same party, same religion. Experiences slip through your fingers as you reach for them, an unreliable basis for deep and lasting happiness. Yet so close, yet so . . . far.
For these reasons, deep down ambivalent sense of disturbance, not-enoughness, feeling disappointed and insufficiently valued and loved. Driven to get ahead, to fix oneself, to capture an experience before it evaporates. A strategy that is both fruitless and stressful.
Ask yourself: What makes you/me happy? What makes you unhappier? Love the present. I like the Latin culture because for us it's all about enjoying the process of things, we are not so much about the end but we feel grateful for every single little thing today. We enjoy the right now and we are pleased with it. When I give now, I feel full.

Advertising
sometimes says: You
need more clothes,
thinner thighs, better car; consume more and be like the pretty
people on TV.
You're
not that smart, attractive, worthy; you need to do more and be more;
if you just have X, you'll get the life you want.
The nature of being implies the possession: Crave
more, cling more, it will work the next time, really.
This is a lie (trying to find another word for lie but couldn't) that we buy every day.
As you see through these lies or..., recognize the truth of fullness. In terms of your core needs to avoid defensiveness and attack others, instead practice fullness: basically tell yourself I am alright right now: I have food, I have health, a bed to sleep in. The happiest people that I met in my life traveling were the ones that had almost nothing. I do treasured them their memories in my heart. Don’t feel pity for them, they know truly happiness. My mom was a single mom and I remembered many days when we only had water and flour to eat, but its flavor was better than caviar and I was hunger and I was happy....even when my mom couldn't get up from bed because of her deep depression.
