Lidiaana wishes you a Happy New Year


Oh hello hello!!

It's been a while and I am very sorry to keep you waiting.

First of all - I am wishing you a  Happy New Year and lots of love.....yes, Love is important!

How did you spend your Christmas break? Did you celebrate at all? Did you eat more than you should have?

Well, I  spent Christmas day in Hospital !!!!


YES - I had the worst bronchitis you could imagine. It was terrible. I was so looking forward to spending 3 weeks together with my family and my close friends and I ended up in bed the whole time.

In a way I feel like I wasted my time as I didn't have the motivation to do my coursework or even to write any songs. The worst thing was that I gave the virus to my whole family!! Oh I felt bad.

So what did I do for 3 weeks and what have I learned from it?

First of all I tried to see this "time off" as something positive - time to think, relax and reflect - something I usually don't have time for. My life is so busy with coursework, performances, doing anything that has to do with my career as a musician, going out,  etc... that I don't have any TIME OFF. This is something that a lot of people tell me - "Girl you need to relax!".
I know I do - but I want to be successful and only hard work will get me there!! Well maybe I haven't learned to relax more often but I'm aware that I have to!

Second thing I have learned is too not over think things - #uffff

Please tell me, you know what I am talking about. Thinking about something only because you have the time for it. You know what - over thinking causes depression #ehee (African Voice)!!!
So - I knew I had to stop that s-it.

Third thing I  learned was to clean and organise myself from within. But also from without! It  helped to sort out my room in Germany (I can hear my mom saying "Amen"). It felt so good - also it helped me on the inside. It helped me to let go of bad thoughts and more importantly to let go of bad people.

One last thing I've learned - I know its new year and its when people think about their lives, but its important to reflect upon self-improvement any time. I did it -  and it felt good.

I guess time to think and reflect is important just so long as you don't sweat the small stuff.

Have a good week! x
