Sistrans Hiking

Good day to everyone, I hope good things happened for you and your families. Today is going to be a simple picture blog from a short jog through a really beautiful forest near Sistrans!

Sistrans is part of Innsbruck, but as you can see in the picture, it's not in the main part of the city, but up the mountain!


And you can see Innsbruck very well from up above! The jog started around the corner of Patcherkofel and Badhausweg.



One thing I love about hikes around here is the delicious cold and refreshing water from the mountains! The water is always running. This one had a wooden squirrel design!



Along the way in many different hikes, you can find directions with a rough estimate of walking time it would take to get there. Also you'll find signs. I'm personally not that great with directions, so my strategy when I'm by myself is just to go straight in one direction, so that way I can just turn around to go back without getting too lost.


 


There are many beautiful things to see on the way. The birds are chirping, the forest is also smelling wonderful and feeling very peaceful.





If you ever have a chance to come to Innsbruck, I really recommend going into the forests :)

Old year reflections and new year dreams

Image
Being a big fan of self-reflection, I love to think about what is to come in the new year and dream. New Year's resolutions has been seen more now as a shallow promise to make a big change, but I like to think of this more as an opportunity to look back on the previous year and then stop and think about where I want to be, what I would like to do, the possibilities that await. And if you can find a friend or friends who are also into a review, then all the better! Sharing visions and dreams can sometimes really become fuel for a wonderful journey. I've put together 2 small things to get the conversation going. It's not all questions about the meaning of life, but allows for looking into the previous year and then a little thought as what is to come. I recommend this mini reflection workshop below. New Year Reflection Program #1 Find a friend or friends who want to reflect together! Make it a date :) #2 Sit down together and enjoy some snacks and tea/coffee.

Tool: Online map maker

When you think of world maps, you might think of a history teacher, but generally not a music teacher. But it does come in handy! As a music teacher, part of what we can do is introduce musical instruments to students. Recently another music educator made a really cool lesson about castanets and so I asked if I could use her self-made castanets for Kindergarten students. When introducing the instrument to the students, it's good to mention where the instrument originated. And especially if they are younger students, having visuals is important.

Halfway in the year review (Level 10 Life)

Image
 So it's July and halfway through the year. It felt very good to finish June. The end of a studies and work semester, the completion of different group projects, and participating in 4 concerts was all part of June and despite getting sick the last Friday of the month, it all worked out. And funny enough, once I got the okay that things are settling down, the impulse to think of the future kicked in. Yes, of course I am enjoying this freedom of time with relaxation too. And I think when things slow down, one feel good thing is thinking positively about what is in the present and what is to come. So I looked at what I did last year December, the Old Year Reflections again and my last Level 10 Life. It was a good feeling to see that some things have already been completed, and also a reminder of old ideas. And I was motivated to then re-do my Level 10 Life. What is a Level 10 Life? It's a way to be intentional with your life focus(es). It's a concrete method to reflect and c
