I would love to start this blog article by saying thanks to everyone who decided to read it. Remember that you are a beautiful soul, an unlimited being and the universe experiencing itself.
I have always loved dancing and connecting with my inner child. I can easily dance in the middle of a supermarket. To me, dancing is about being authentic and expressing yourself creatively.
Clubbing always felt fun and strange at the same time. I’d come in, ready to dance, but my friends had to have a few drinks to relax. Attempting to start dancing straight away almost always drew the wrong audience. I was given a concise window of time to dance with people who were still somewhat sober. After that, the night would become extremely boring and annoying. Nothing and nobody made any sense. Later, in my early 30s, after a spiritual awakening, all I could see were broken people, full of pain, pretending to have fun.
I never felt the need to have alcohol or drugs on a night out, it just did not feel right. In my 20s, I was almost pretending to drink, sipping on a couple of drinks through the night to avoid silly questions. You won’t get much reaction if you say you don’t drink water or tea or even coffee. If you don’t drink alcohol, you are highly likely to be asked why, potentially considered strange or people might suspect you had problems with alcohol.
Don’t get me wrong, I had all the reasons to become an alcohol or drug addict.
My family had never heard about therapy, and bless them, they were trying their best. Classmates and teachers hated me, and I was constantly told I was not the sharpest. I started having severe panic attacks and anxiety, fear of death, chronic fatigue and dizziness. In my teens, I was medicated with five different drugs, and none of them helped.
I was on anti-depressants for almost 20 years. I stopped 2 years ago and went through hell battling with withdrawal symptoms. I am in my mid-30s, and I have never felt so good in my life! My and my fiancée are building Vibe Inside, a platform that promotes the interconnectedness of body, mind, spirit and soul and the importance of holistic health. We want to empower people to take control of their lives and build a reality where they do not need to escape from anything.
So, how did we end up in a society where being drunk is fine? How come having a good night out means getting drunk and not remembering half of the night?
People are being tricked into thinking that drinking alcohol is a part of having fun or celebrating. Everyone can dance, have fun, celebrate and enjoy life without poisoning themselves.
I was so delighted when I found out about Good Clean Fun! I felt I found my tribe, my community, my vibes. I love the meditation hour with different practices; it’s an excellent opportunity to try something new and take care of your health. A group of people doing healing exercises can only mean a big boost of positive energy exchange. Community spirit is knowledge and healing.
It lights me up to see people walking about with a cup of tea or any other soft drink, smiling, and being able to hold a conversation, share their experience and knowledge, or just have a wee dance and connect without words.
It is so inspiring to see Good Clean Fun being fully booked and people experiencing a paradigm shift, reedifying their lifestyle and making choices that indicate self-love and self-care. Being sober means showing love to yourself and, therefore, showing love to the people around you.
I’ve learned so much over the years and recently started sharing this knowledge with people around me and people I meet on my path. I was overwhelmed by the warm feedback. The main topics I talk about are holistic health, healthy lifestyle, self-love, personal empowerment and spiritual awakening. Feel free to reach out via Instagram or e-mail.
