IE Application. Thank you admissions team for this great idea, which make us, candidates, reflect on what we like to do in life and how this helped us to self-improve

1. YOGA AND THE PATH TO
BECOME THE DISCIPLINED
YOGIMAN
“BE 100 PERCENT DISCIPLINED AND YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF SUCCESS;
WITHOUT IT, YOU WILL NEVER REACH GREAT HEIGHTS WHETHER IN BUSINESS OR
SPORT.”

2. EVERYTHING HAS THE STARTING POINT
• THE IDEA OF DOING YOGA CAME
THROUGH MY CLOSE
ACQUAINTANCE. I DID IT FEW TIMES
AT 7 AM AND REMEMBERED AS A
NIGHTMARE.
• 1 YEAR AFTER I WORKED ON MYSELF,
CONVINCING TO CONTINUE THE
TRAINING ON MY OWN, FOLLOWING
THE VIDEOS
• AFTER 2 MONTHS I INTRODUCED THE
ADVANCED YOGA TO MY TRAINING

3. It
became
a
routine
FIRST, YOU HATE IT THEN YOU LOVE
IT. THERE IS NO ANY OTHER CHOICE.
WHY?
Ksenia Efrimidi IE Application
Some psychologists say
that any human needs
21 day to get a new
custom, thus to get
used to something it’s
merely time.
1. I remembered it
2. I talked to myself,
convincing that it is for
good
3. Nothing but positive
thinking;
4. I adjusted my mind for a
pleasant journey
6. I made this my
journey for 21 days
7. I didn’t expect the
immediate benefit but
went on and on

4. WORK IN A TEAM SITTING
• FIRST, I FELT THAT I HAD IMPROVED WHEN
MANY PEOPLE AROUND KEPT ON SAYING
THAT I WAS DOING WELL, IT MOTIVATED ME
EVEN MORE. I WAS EXITED
• THEN I SAW THAT WE, ENOUGH EXITED AND
MOTIVATED, CAN INSPIRE OTHER PEOPLE. I
WAS SURPRISED, WHEN MY FRIENDS
FOLLOWED ME, ATTENDING THE EVENT
’YOGA DAY’ IN BARCELONA
• SO I PERCEIVED IT AS A LESSON OF
LEADERSHIP. SINCE THEN I’M SUGGESTING
AND PLANNING DIFFERENT KIND OF
ACTIVITIES. MY FRIENDS VIEWS ARE
CHANGING
• RANDOM PEOPLE IN MY GYM ASK TO JOIN
ME AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO ALSO
BECAME INTERESTED IN YOGA, FOR A CLASS
THAT WE DO ON OUR OWN
“Most importantly, teams who use discipline
effectively have the opportunity to positively
influence players’ behavior in all other areas of
their lives.”

5. DISCIPLINE. FEARS ARE BORN OF TIREDNESS OR INACTIVITY
THIS IS WHAT I LEARNT
• GOALS IN A CONTEXT
• CHALLENGE YOURSELF
• RELEVANT MOTIVATION
• OFFER A GUIDING HAND
• GETTING EXITED
• INSPIRE OTHERS
• Identify winning, analyzing and choosing the right
tactic for the right mission. I plan to work in a new
sector for me, fashion brand management, as a mid-
term goal, and build a company, giving sustainable
jobs for women from developing countries, as a long
term goal.
• Never give up and like to challenge myself. I know that
the result will come.
• How to focus, it helped me to prepare to the GMAT
• Perseverance and consistency. Using the same technic
as to yoga, I obtained a custom to read news daily,
dedicate at least 15 minutes per day to read literary
works and learn French language – it’s my routine
• Build a good team connection. To be inspired and
inspire others.
• Listen to others in my personal and professional life,
because yoga exposed me to people of different
nationalities and kinds of mind
