Lidia Dols: "We are used to doing everything at a tremendous speed".
Lidia Dols, creator of Gurumind, explains her new project: "Bicheando para ser Feliz".
Happiness comes in different ways for each person, but that does not mean that the search for it is a totally individual task that must be done alone.
In fact, it is very common that the inspiration and example of other people motivate us and help us to get involved in activities and ways of living that can make us happy. Y in this sense, the "Bicheando para ser Feliz" project is very interesting.. Today we talk to the person who organizes it, Lidia Dols, creator of Gurumind.
Interview with Lidia Dols: this is the project "Bicheando para ser Feliz".
Lidia Dols is the creator of Gurumind, a project that has resulted in an interesting mobile app full of meditation and Mindfulness content. She also offers in-person and online training courses, and is currently preparing her next initiative: "Bicheando para ser Feliz". In this interview she tells us about this informative project.
What exactly is "Bicheando para ser Feliz"?
It is a project that was born with the illusion of sharing: teachings, methods, techniques, exercises and tricks that help us to improve our quality of life.
A space to find inspiration to be happier in our daily lives and to develop different perspectives on daily situations and life itself.
Within the project there will also be a space for interviews with people who have dedicated themselves to wellbeing: meditators, coaches, psychologists, philosophers... who have achieved success in their lives and will share with us some "secrets".
By the way, "bichear", according to the RAE is: to look for something with special interest.
What kind of interviews or insights does the project offer? What are the characteristics of these?
They are interviews that will last a maximum of 10 minutes, and in which we will always ask the same three questions to our guest in what I have called "The corner of the curious".
The first one is: "What led or motivated you to take the path of self-knowledge? The second is: "How has that action changed your life? And the third, and my favorite, is that we ask you for three pieces of advice.
It is a short interview in which we speak plainly, with the common interest of being able to share experiences lived in a small space of time and that can serve as inspiration to other people. It is a close format and without superfluous ornaments.
How did the idea of doing this series of interviews come up?
Sincerely, because I believe that we are living through very difficult times globally and in very diverse aspects. I believe that a large dose of positive energy is needed, without sounding too "herbal".
The fact of being able to bring the experience of other people who bet on being nonconformist and look for other ways of living and feeling life to transform their own, can be a motivation for people who decide to start acting in a different way to enhance their own happiness. He believes that human beings innately want to be happy.
Why did you decide to choose the short interview format?
Nowadays we are used to doing everything at a tremendous speed... "We browse the Internet at lightning speed. There we look for everything: cars, recipes, carpentry tricks... When we are interested in something, we go deeper into it, otherwise, we quickly turn the page!
That's where the idea came from. I thought we should tell the story with concentrated content, in the shortest possible time, so that we give you a chance to listen to the whole story.
How will the interviews be disseminated and will they be accessible only to Gurumind app users?
We will send them first to Gurumind subscribers and then through Gurumind's networks and personal networks: lidia_dols on Facebook and Instagram and Lidia Dols on Linkedin and YouTube.
