How your chosen environment changes you

-


Interesting words!

I once heard that by looking at the 5 people you spend the most time with you'll realise your own personality, as you carry major traits similar to them.

Interestingly, if you consciously change some/all of those 5 people you will adjust accordingly. Be aware of who you spend your time with!

This made me think about day to day activities and also career/job. Perhaps if you are wanting to develop a certain skill/skillset you could choose the environment most likely to contain people with these skills already, therefore spending time with them will rub off on you.

I'm looking for a part time job at the moment but what role I want to do just hasn't come to me, perhaps by looking at it using the above theory will help me decide. Interesting!

The UK Bass Music show on Sub FM with Lara & Nikki

-

Lara and I host a monthly slot on internet radio station, Sub FM where we curate the UK Bass Music show representing music we love and write about on our blog, ukbassmusic.com Whilst we're still starting out and getting used to the technicals (neither of us are DJs) the idea of being able to present some of the amazing music we get sent to our listeners is what helps crack the initial nerves... it's about the music and the spreading of the love first and foremost, we also stream our faces live over on facebook each show to increase the reach of the sounds. You can lock in every 4 Monday's (next one 11th Jan 2018) and in the meantime you can listen or watch back the shows and appreciate this sick music with us.

The view from our room. We're back to life, back to reality - although, life seemed pretty damn real whilst away on the retreat this weekend.  I managed to record my thoughts in this video of the first Ayahuasca ceremony, yet after the second and third I didn't feel it was right.  Here's what happened on the first night: I'm going to sum up what happened on the second night - no doubt there will be things missing but whatever flows through my clumsily typing fingers right now is obvs what I'm 'meant' to share.  The second night was just as daunting as the first going into it. We were told that this brew would be stronger than the initial dose the night before and that the experience would be different. And it was. Something I'd learnt about Ayahuasca is that it is very helpful to go into the session with an 'intention' which could be a question you'd like the answer for or an enlightening inspiration you'd like t...

This show we kept it pretty chilled, some nice melodic vibes selecting from genres such as Dubstep, Drum & Bass and Reggae. If you fancy a listen (and a watch), hit play below, and thanks so much for the support :) x
