what gives me the greatest joy in what i’m doing
Hey, my name is Agata, or rather “Hi I am Kafri & this channel is about hula hooping.”
Today I will tell you about my hooping – lifestyle project KAFRI.tv. What is actually hidden under this name, what is my message, for whom and what for, what is the most difficult thing in this type of endeavors and what gives the greatest joy?
What is kafri.tv?
In a nutshell, I would call it a multi-channel program promoting an active lifestyle, focused around hula hooping. However, to better reflect my vision, I will tell you about the details.
The mission of kafri.tv: to inspire and access the benefits of physical activity, influencing self-confidence and self-esteem.
I strongly believe and even boldly say that I know from my own experience how a fit, oxygenated and strong body affects our psyche. In my life, just like everyone else, there are different moments – sometimes, due to various factors, I cannot take care of my body as I feel it would be great and the way I read the signals that my body gives me. Sometimes, for contrast, I fall into moments of increased activity and great form. However, all the time and in all situations of worse physical and mental well-being, I am aware that the answer, and often even the remedy, is the body.
As readers of this blog, you also know what additional benefits can be brought by hooping. How it stimulates the senses, makes us feel special, we create our own creative and active space. It helps us build and feel our strength.
How am I doing “the promotion of an active lifestyle”?
Mainly as a mother, but also a friend, partner and performer, I noticed that the best way to positively influence others and motivate to change is to inspire with your attitude & the way you are yourself. No method of persuasion is as powerful as setting an example. And don’t get me wrong – it’s not about being perfect and shining your magnificence, but being yourself, as you feel, want, in such a way and in a place where you feel happiness. Being for yourself, in connection with yourself, with the ability to listen to your body and strive for what is best for us. Each of us determines our golden mean.
My mission with kafri.tv is realized through the physical sharing of knowledge and experience, inspiring with creativity, ideas and thoughts. At the end of the article you will find information on where to find me.
Yeah! Done, I know how to dress it all up, I have a clear vision, goals to be achieved, I know the tools, so let’s go! I created my website on wordpress, media profiles, youtube channel and action! My head exploded with ideas, I followed my assumptions with the full conviction that I am doing it as best as possible and this is the best package for people who need support in the first steps of their hula hoop adventure.
Already at the beginning of this path, I met people who made a huge contribution to the pace of development of the entire project, such as Michał Pawlik, who gave me a huge collection of phenomenal photos that create the image of kafri.tv, or Milena Lupa, who is a co-creator of videos on the youtube channel kafri .
However, so far all my actions have been only the implementation of my ideas. The message “listen to your audience” “meet the needs of your audience” “respond to what your community asks you for” was heard everywhere, but how to do it when the community is small, and in addition hardly says anything…
So I’ve spent the past year experimenting with my own ideas. Of course, I don’t consider it a waste of time, but in the context of business, I wouldn’t describe myself as a shark or a gazelle. I searched for these “needs” and directions by following the profiles of the hooping community, reading comments, questions and topics appearing wherever possible. The most important thing, however, is that I adhered to my assumptions, with the enormous support of people from my closest surrounding. I was doing my job as I felt and today I am at the stage when my community starts talking to me and communicating its needs!
What do I like most about creating kafri.tv?
From 2017 to 2021, I had a break in my professional life. It was a conscious decision related to starting a family, moving abroad, and rethinking and reconstructing my future career.
I knew I liked being my boss. I knew that I wanted my future activities to be able to help others. I know that I have a good set of predispositions and skills for this. Step by step, when creating kafri.tv, I felt what I was doing. Although not everything was easy and pink from the beginning and it is still not, and I am stopped by various random situations, I feel great joy and satisfaction in achieving the next tiny goals.
I feel great joy with every person who reaches out to my work. For me, every comment, interaction, message is a small explosion of joy and excitement. Each recipient who leaves me a sign of his presence is a small success of my actions, thanks to which I feel the meaning of what I am doing.
Where is kafri.tv present direction and why should you follow me?
As you already know from the previous paragraph, kafri.tv is an evolving project. While writing this article in 10/2022, I am at the stage where, apart from pure knowledge strictly related to hula hoop, tutorials and tips so far, I am starting to share my ideas and lifestyle inspirations. On my profiles, you can expect a larger dose of tutorials, including many tricks of my work and upcoming inspirations for combining hula with roller skates. In parallel, the blog I am creating will also focus on topics related to the lifestyle, full of activity and self-awareness.
And now the hot stuff: who am I and where will you find me?
My name is Agata, Kafri is my long-term artistic nickname. At the time of writing this article I am 34 years old. Since 2003, my life has been related to circus, stage and performance. Initially, I performed by dancing with fire, growing up when I knew that my professional career was circus, I gained other skills. Over the years, I have realized myself as a stage artist, animator, instructor, producer and costume designer. In 2009, I made my first hula hoop, and in 2020 I did the Deanne Love course, thus becoming the Hoop Love Coach. I live permanently in Tenerife, where I perform as a circus artist and create kafri.tv.
You can find me as @kafri.tv on: instagram, tik tok, facebook and youtube, where once a week I post a full tutorial and there is already a database of movies that I have made so far. Also check out my website www.kafri.tv where the first online courses supporting the development of hoop dancing will appear in 2022.
