Being Stubborn.

 

It’s been raining cats and dogs since yesterday afternoon.

Sun, come out please! We miss you!

 

It seems like some of you run races and some of you don’t. Well that’s perfectly fine of course ;) . I never thought I’d ever run a race because the thought of getting chased by thousands of people wasn’t that appealing. But then I signed up for a 10 miles race because it seemed like “fun”. Erm, 10 miles for my first race without any proper training? Yes my stubbornness sometimes gets beyond logical thinking.

In fact I’ve always had to deal with my impossible stubbornness.  Passing the driving test on the first try? It just had to happen. Quickly finding a good job? Check!

Being stubborn is great if you want to reach certain goals. However, this could also become a problem because you can tend to focus too much on the goal without listening to your gut feeling.

You just have to reach that goal, no matter what.

I’m a little less stubborn these days but if I want something (non-material of course) I just have to have it. I accept my character as it is, which also includes stubbornness, but I just make sure that I don’t want to reach goals that are too crazy ;)

 

Are you a stubborn person? Do you see it as something positive or negative?

 

Sometimes I’m also stubborn when it comes to meals. If I crave something I just have to have it. Like quinoa porridge for example.

So I went into the kitchen and made some ;) .

Tamzin sent me a bar some time ago (I won it in a giveaway) and I just had to try it in the afternoon. I’ve had other 9 bars before and have always been pleased. This one was fantastic too!

Thanks hun! I loved it! Too bad that it’s gone though :(

 

We skipped our run because of the heavy rain. I usually don’t shy away from rain but you should have seen the weather yesterday.. It was insane..

Instead we made mushroom risotto, topped with a fried egg and some rice.

We went and had a few drinks (well.. water and a cappuccino for me) and said goodbye to our friend who goes to the US again. Hehe, it was fun though!

 

Today I’ll just enjoy my time off ;) . Btw: this is Ascension Day.

I started my day with some chakra balancing yoga which was lovely. I should go and make some tea and take a shower now.. we’re heading to my friend Daniela’s workplace for brunch (she’s a baker). Then afterwards we’ll pop by my grandma’s house as it’s her birthday :) . Afterwards I just HAVE to get that run in ;) .

 

Anyway, enjoy your day lovelies!!

    Glad you enjoyed the bar! Booooo to the rain thats no fun! Yummy eats your porridge looks fab I’m addicted to quinoa porridge with carob : )

  2. Oh my gosh, I’m stubborn. I don’t always think of it as a bad thing…but I think my husband does!! I HAVE to win our arguments :-)

  3. I’m extremely stubborn and headstrong; when I set my mind on something, I’m not going to let anything get in my way. It’s a great way to reach goals, and I usually don’t tend to bite off more than I can chew, so my stubbornness is good in that regard.

    However, the downside of being so stubborn is that I’ll rarely accept advice or help from anyone. I always have to do things my way, and even if I’m wrong, I would prefer to learn from experience than have someone try and tell me.

    And your runny eggs just made me drool (why does that sound so wrong?). I used to hate runny yolks, but after wanting to see what all the fuss was about and trying one, I don’t think I can ever go back.

  4. i am not stubborn at all!

    That mushroom risotto with egg look absolutely amazing.

    I am as stubborn as they come. Once I decided that I want or need something or have to DO something I have to get it or do it ASAP and nothing in the world can stop me. I’ve been that was since I can remember. :)

    Enjoy your day off lady!

    I’m not really too stubborn. My other half is stubborn enough for the both of us. I have to be the easy going one!

  8. Sorry about the rain, we’ve had a few days of it here too.

    Yum, that bar looks great, something I’ll look for on the next Whole Foods trip.

    I can be stubborn and it had it’s pros and cons. 10 miles for your first race – wow! I’ve only run 5ks so far. :-P
