The organised society - food for inspiration

Its amacing how a crazy, stressful, panic-like lifestyle, such as the one I had in Ouaga, offers much more imput for writing. Gosia, thank you for reminding me that even the orderly, peaceful og and down to earth circumstances of living in Denmark can be interesting for others to read about.

I've started reading 'Dagbladet Information' every day. Its a great way to start the day and even up north in Aalborg, it reaches my doorstep at 5-6 o'clock in the morning. For a while I was wondering how to follow up on whats going on in the world. Sorry but the news on TV just doesn't cut it. What is happening with the 10 min. hot spot news on TV2 followed by the sport for another 10 min. I become restless and stressed from this flicking through the world in seconds. It only represents our modern bigcity lifestyle (I know I'm in Aalborg and not New York:-)). As my yoga guru Jens would say: 'det er noget af det væreste du kan gøre ved sindet'.

I'm attempting to find stressfree ways of living, as so many other western people are today. Stress has become one of our top 10 enemies and in attempting to avoid it, the business world has jumped on the wagon. There's a whole range of services and products to be bought and tried out: yoga, meditation, health and spa, massage, exercise, buddhism, stressfree foods, etc. One can actually get stressed by the offers alone!!

My personal search of a stressfree life has taken me down many a roads. At the moment, I'm taking up meditation as an extension of yoga. My (exciting?) life in an organised world to be continued..........
