deliberateLIFE issue #4 Gets Us On Track With ‘Back To School’ Tips On Creativity, Education And Living Life With Intention
/I am happy to introduce myself to the readers of Anne of Carversville! My name is Ceylan Kumbarji and I’m a paid AOC writer of fashion and body posts for the last four months. I’m currently studying Journalism at City University in England. As a young woman born and raised in London, I’m proud to now be a part of the AOC team, being vocal and linking body image, values and sensuality with fashion and style.
As an avid reader for years — yes I was 16 when I started reading AOC — the opportunity to be writing for such a cultured, sensual site as AOC is one I take seriously. I’m very excited with my expanding role and hope to offer diverse views for AOC readers, while bringing a fresh perspective to the site.
deliberate LIFE Magazine #4
Another cultivating edition of deliberateLIFE once again offers readers insightful, seductive and relevant perspectives and advice on how to live a different, more improved lifestyle.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable read and the focus on making positive changes runs through-out the issue. Founder and publisher Fay Johnson ensures this issue is packed with flavour and each article is written with passion and zest.
From this issue of deliberate LIFE, we get an indulgent variety of articles and topics, including ‘Vacation State of Mind’, ‘Back To School’ and ‘Educating Girls Around The Globe’, where again, I’ve left feeling satisfied and more optimistic about the changes I can make personally. The magazine has an intimate feel to it and while the style of writing is enlightening and meaningful, it never seems pushy or too forward.
“…but going home leads to anxiety. I know I’ll arrive home to a huge pile of mail and an even more overwhelming to-do list.”
This line stood out boldly when I began reading the article ‘Vacation State Of Mind’. We all know and can relate to this all too familiar feeling. As a young Brit living out in Los Angeles for two months now, this was an ever-growing fear for when I was to return home. The article successfully describes how to handle this and the secret to taking that ‘vacation bliss’ feeling back with us.
I’ve been back for less than a week and that feeling of dread was present. Getting back into a dull routine, sorting through boring documents and preparing to go back to a much less exciting normality. So, I’ve been trying the deliberate LIFE tips to try and keep that holiday bliss feeling with me for as long as possible.
Being completely honest, it’s much easier to try and achieve small, minor accomplishments than to set impossible goals, so kudos deliberate LIFE writers. You make it easier to banish stress and give room for peace and control.
Thinking of positive memories often and wisely choosing how to spend your spare moments are key in making you feel more balanced and escaping to that mental utopia.
deliberate LIFE seems to be well versed in inspiring us to live better and providing us with tips and coping mechanisms for when things seem to be overwhelming, with this article proving to be a perfect example.
deliberate LIFE on Girl Power
Here, I plummeted into this article and felt I could completely relate, as it touches on the rise of America’s supergirls and also the constant imbalance in leadership roles. Not classing myself as an American supergirl, I do like the term ‘supergirl’, as it makes me feel a sense of confidence and ability to achieve anything I want. Feeling inferior is an ongoing battle that girls worldwide continue to face, wherever we’re from. The sparkling, powerful words on these pages provide an uplifting read for all young women.
This is another reason I feel so proud to say I’m an avid reader of deliberate LIFE, because it captures us in each edition and makes us feel totally, 100% engaged in what we’re reading.
Nothing is being preached to us and we get the chance to read about topics we can thoroughly understand and resonate with.
Also in the issue, we find out some quick lunch ideas, how to perfectly create a late summer cocktail, regain our creativity, learn how to limit our lunchtime waste and plenty more witty, luscious articles.
Readers of deliberate LIFE are globalists, who are open to change and are happy to allow room for growth and progression, with the motto “we’re here to make it easier to do good.” These steps allow us to make changes in life, while continuing to also balance normal demands of life.
Let’s continue to take control of our own happiness and balance, make smart, intentional choices about how we wish to spend our time and money, engage in our communities and continue to learn and understand more about global issues with deliberate LIFE. - Ceylan
