In my post "what is happiness" i made a list of things that I consider important for being a happy woman. Here I want to take a closer look at the first point on the list.
1. An interesting occupation that keeps my mind busy
What kind of thing could that be? Well my experience in life shows me, that the crucial thing about that is: It's not only one thing. I'm a person who is easily bored by routine and repetition, I want to have a healthy mix of different activities that are still all rooted in the same idea or belong to the same striving.
Let's
check out all these activities. Lately I was quite dedicated to
feminism. There are different forms of feminism, but I mean something
deeply anthropological that is in your body and in your mind. For me
that was manifested in playing football for an NGO that works for
female rights in Arabic countries.
Also I started picking up all
these sports that I find kind of cool: Started with snowboarding and
football, then surfing and skateboarding. I discovered a lot of
things on the way. In almost every sport scene there is a little
feminist department growing just now. I discovered the Cooler
Magazine
(boardsports
for women), I discovered the Lipstick
Productions
(a team of pro snowboarder women making movies), I discovered Suck
my Trucks
(a skateboarding workshop for women) and many other things on the
way.
