Бъди Лама и го карай по-спокойно
Бъди Лама и се наслаждавай на живота!
Открадни си спокойствие и се научи как да бъдеш небрежен в целия хаос около теб.
Господарка на загрижеността, шефка на великолепието и кралица на оцветяването. Лама знае как да държи нещата под контрол и да не се напряга в съвременния трескав свят. Тя знае колко е важно да си почиваш и понякога да прекараш цял ден офлайн, за да намериш отново връзка с реалността. Така че последвай Лама и скоро ще си отново по пътя на вътрешния си дзен... недей да бързаш.
С илюстрации от Анита Манган.

I bought this in Salts Mill for a friend who has been grumpy all week. The drawings are fun and it has some nice little homilies in it. Let’s hope it brings a smile to a grumpy friend’s face!

Sarah Ford has a llama
A calmer llama
Perfect for this hectic world
How is llama calmer then?
You may ask aloud
In many practical ways
Keeping her ducks in a row
Letting her hair down
Waiting for the storm to pass
Our llama cuts the caffeine
Bounces on her bed
No mountain from a molehill
Does random acts of kindness
Likes kneading dough, talks
To old people at bus stops
Llama sorts out her sock drawer
Bounces on the bed
Spends all day in her jjamas
Bananas in pyjamas
In Australia
Are favourites for us here
Now we have calmer llama too

'Be like Llama. Why? Because she is friendly, good-natured, peace-lloving and calm. Llama does not llet llife get her down - she just lloves every minute of it.' What good advice and what an interesting statement in the introduction to open the book.
And then Llama has 10 rules for a good life. Of those I do like 'Slow down, it's not a race' - easy to say but not quite as easy to do (for me anyway), 'Sometimes you just have to say no. If you take on too much, then you will burn out and lose your calm, so get to know your limits' - I fully understand that one, not adhering to it definitely contributed to my breakdown and now, without Linda who always acted as a buffer between me and those who wanted something I am trying not to fall into that trap again, and 'Don't sweat the small stuff ... If you worry about things and they do go wrong then it's doubly bad' - I can see what Llama means there.
The book then takes us through a whole series of situations and events that Llama handles well and which are suggested as stress relievers. A most apt one is Llama's advice 'The power of hugging should not be underestimated' ... so let's do more of it! But I couldn't do this one: 'Llama had cut out the caffeine', I could not, I am afraid, be without my two or three cups of coffee per day!
One piece of advice that does hold good, but is difficult to come to terms with at the time of something happening is 'Llama asked herself whether it would really matter in five years' time.' In some cases the answer could well be 'Yes, it still matters' but in very many the answer is probably a resounding 'No!' As for 'Reggae Llama didn't worry about a thing', I would find that most difficult to adhere to.
The final bit of advice is amusing as it is 'Now take a chill pill and be a Llama' and the Llama is seen relaxing with a (caffeine-free) drink on the back of a unicorn!
'Be a Llama and stay a little calmer' certainly gives food for thought and goes some way to one being able to think more clearly when situations arise. But to put it all into effect ... who knows? You never do know for sure as one day you could see me prancing about like a South American camelid! Well, at least I might be relaxed -less drama more Llama!

I really enjoy the images which go with the different mantras. They are fun, positive and uplifting.

Прекрасна малка и сладка книжка, караща те да се усмихваш. 😍

Една малка сладка книжка, която да прочетеш преди сън, да си мислиш и сънуваш хубави неща. <3

A cute book with fun illustrations that reminds us to slow down and not worry about every little thing.

Тази книжка наистина трябва да се чете вечер преди лягане. След това сякаш наистина всичко изглежда малко по-спокойно

It's a philosophy book for little kids to read or someone who wants something short/straight to the point. Read at crazy Llama coffee shop to Jayce because it looked good.

Some sweet and funny bits but not keen on the illustration of the llama and the use of the word 'hoofies'.

Обичам ги тези книжки от няколко страници едва,в които са събрани сякаш цели Вселени от уроци... от всички минуси превърнати в плюсове... и от всяко “Обичай се” на този свят.
По всяко време на деня,особено безцелното протягане към тази книжка те кара да я преоткриваш както преоткриваш себе си всеки ден-връзката с реалността е възтановена,недейте да ... бързате :))))

Приятна, малка книжка, особено подходяща за някои дни-рутинни, в които нищо не върви...С красивите илюстрации и позитивни съвети от лама се зареждаш с добро настроение, доза търпение и се чувстваш, като че ли гледаш през цветни очила и всичко за миг придобива друг смисъл.

A little book of positivity. Read it in my lunch break at work and it made my day a little brighter. What a wise llama this was.
Definitely pleased that this was added to my book box for the month.

Harmless trite mindfulness my mother got me for my birthday (either an indication of how little she knows about my interests or a worrying perception of me on her part). Some of this is obviously good advice but it's wrapped in a tweet saccharine coating (and in quarantine some of this is inadvisable at best, if not illegal). At least it's an easy notch on my books for the year, and a mental rest from the brain blasting arcades project

It's very easy to read and it's very cute!

This seems like such a shameless cash-in on the current trend of mindfulness. It appears so quickly put together and I personally didn't find it funny or charming at all.

Surface-level but still fun: Llama trots through llife gently — the only thing that weighs her down is her hair. Llive your llife llike Llama and there will be no drama 👍🏻

My friend I made in the hospital gave me this book so it will have special place in my heart 4ever. It was sweet and whimsy. I’m glad I could get my hand on this one

Excellent art and very entertaining.
Great for an office library and a quick read through with colleagues. Or just looking at a random page while waiting for a client to pick up.
Ain't much else to it.
Also - great for getting +1 to my reading challenge, hehe.
