 ===Reading===
+{{ :michka:reading.jpg?400 |}}
 I needed to feel inspired, and learn from others' experiments. So I picked up two experiment-based books from my reading list: [[http://www.moneylessmanifesto.org/the-moneyless-man-book/|The Moneyless Man]], and [[http://fourhourworkweek.com/|The Four Hour Workweek]].

 ===Traveling===
+{{ :michka:traveling.jpg?400 |}}
+One of the things I disliked with my studying & working lifestyles was the forced sedentarity induced by the fact of having to follow courses / having to work in a give place. However, my initial hypothesis was to become self-sufficient, which means even more sedentarian.
+It was one of the conclusions of this Transiency: I prefer to travel than to garden. As I discovered this in April, I traveled a lot ever since.
+The very first important trip of this year was to Slovenia, a place where Amélie lived for a couple of years. After visiting Ljubljana and some very nice friends there, we moved to the countryside to spend some time at [[http://rollinghedgehog.com/|Rolling Hedgehog]].
+Rolling Hedgehog is a self-sufficiency experiment, led by Amélie's ex-roommates in Slovenia. We spent three day here helping in the garden, drinking schnaps & kombucha, gathering bear's garlic to prepare Forest Pesto, and eating cheerfully all together copious meals to fill our bellies emptied by the countryside work & fresh air.
+It was a wonderful stay, however I understood that I would not transform it into a lifstyle. I would love to introduce slices of several weeks of this lifestyle, but I would also like to be able to escape it, and see other people, other places, other parts of the world.
+The self-sufficiency hypothesis was dead.
+===Being Coached===

+Besides being actively followed by the FoAM Brussels' Core Team, I had the chance to go through a coaching program with a professional coach, [[http://fo.am/people/vali.lalioti/|Vali Laliotti]].
+During six sessions, we tackled deeply rooted brakes which left me doubtful and/or discouraged. Through very precisely phrased and chirurgically-targeted questions, Vali helped me unravel deep nodes in order to constructively & effectively move forward.
+For instance, after six sessions, I was able to precisely phrase what I felt was my mission in life. I also learned practical ways to be more efficient in my work, especially with unpleasant tasks, and how to deal with emotionnally perturbing events.
+I think that this process was one of the two most effective ones in the whole Transiency. I feel like I am work - and do stuff in general - more effectively, more peacefully, and - most importantly - with more passion.
+And yes, I will talk about the second process later.
