Framing. Staging. World-making. It's something all

Framing. Staging. World-making. It's something all of us participate in. We are creating worlds, especially here on Instagram. Every picture is framed into a world we want to show, into a story we want to tell. .

Anthropologists study this making and creating of people's worldviews. At the same time, we participate in creating other people's worldviews by the way we frame situations, or more related to visual anthropology, by how we frame images into knowledge. .

What a scientist, a filmmaker, an artist, an Instagrammer portraits in their work is an act of making one's world work. Framing it. Staging it in away. .

So.. that makes us the creators of our own lives basically. But how consciously do we create the worlds we live in? What parts of our worldviews are blurry and which ones are in focus? Is that what is centered in our life the most important thing, or is it just framed to be, by society, by yourself? What world would you like to live in?

I've reached the halfway mark of the 30 days of yo

I've reached the halfway mark of the 30 days of yoga challenge of @adrienelouise. Highly recommend doing one of her challenges!
.

Until last year, I never understood what yoga was about. I'd tried a class once or twice, joined friends in their at-home practice, but I just didn't get it. However, I always felt that it was 'something for me', and when I came back from Japan last year, ready to focus on myself for a while, someone recommended me Adrienne's challenges and I decided to give it a try. I would commit to this yoga thing for a month... and I'm grateful I did it.
.

Yoga has taught me a lot! I've learned how powerful the breath can be. I learned how to notice subtle shifts in my posture, that affect my emotional and physical wellbeing. It taught me perseverance, as well as how to combine building strength with taking a break. .

After completing my first challenge a year ago, I did an at-home yoga practice every now and then, only to eventually kind of forget about it and how well it made me feel. At the same time, I lost track of how well I did in January last year. I hit another low/unhappy point later in 2019, but I'm not stuck in it this time. I went to walk the Camino de Santiago and learned that it is okay asking for help, I completed a Reiki 1 course that is helping me to trust, I'm going to see a therapist by the end of this month and: I'm back on my mat, halfway on a yoga journey 'home', as the new 30 days of yoga challenge is called. How suitable.
.

And yes, this is not the picture-perfect yoga pose, but it is me learning to stretch into a new comfort zone. A bigger one. And it is impossible to do yoga while trying to take a photo of yourself for here. But it's for a good cause: @organicbasics has the most comfortable and sustainable clothing and underwear. They asked me to share my self-care Sunday advice, and well, yoga is definitely one of my self-care routines! So I challenge you to take on the 30 days of yoga challenge from #yogawithadriene, And if you want to do that while wearing eco-friendly clothing, use the 10% discount code WEAREOB2 when placing an order at Organic Basics (valid until March 16th) .
What is your self-care routine?

Shots from Myanmar 🇲🇲 (4/4)
.

I love the colors of the sky when it's being kissed by sunset or sunrise. .

The bright orange beams give a place a whole new look and feeling.
.

I think I'm lucky living on the 6th floor with a wide view not blocked by other buildings. This colorful show of the sun appears in my living room almost every night. It makes me stop and just stare outside. I wonder how many people do the same.
.

While traveling it's a common thing to do I think. You find the best places to watch the sun sinks in the sea or watch from a mountaintop how it kisses the city goodnight. You talk with new friends, toast with locals, enjoy the outdoors. But how often do we do the same at home? And why not do it more often? . . .

Meet Momo, back then he was a 82 year local who spoke English as a result of the English invasion of his country that ended only in 1942(!)
.

He randomly invited me and my travelbuddy for tea and snacks in the streets of Yangon. Sitting on these tiny (like really tiny, toys for children like) plastic pink chairs in a parkinglot of a side street of the former capital (in 2005, Myanmar moved it's capital to the newly built city Naypyidaw) he was enjoying his coffee while probably talking about politics with my friend.
.

I wish I already had some knowledge about kolonialisme and politics when I met him. Instead of bothering to understand the conversation they were having, I shot some photos of this beautiful old man. .

It's interesting to realize how much I have changed and learned since my first trip. .

My roommate is reading Jordan Peterson's book '12 rules for life: an antidote to chaos'. I only read the index and chapter/rule 12 was: pet a cat when you encounter one on the street. 💕
.

No lack of encountering animals on the streets while traveling in Asia. Of course, always be careful, since you don't want to be scratch or bitten, but most of these animals just want some love.
.

Do you pet animals when you encounter one? .
