17 questions for... Piotr Lewandowski, co-owner of the Dansinn by Malitowski brand

For me, work life balance is... the ability to find a moment of freedom, cut yourself off from professional matters and devote yourself to yourself or your loved ones. However, a moment ago I didn't know what work life balance was, but recently I found such a space within myself and I appreciate it very much.

My 3 most important daily health habits are…

• A solid breakfast that fuels me for the rest of the day. I really like to celebrate this moment because it fills me with positive energy for the whole day.
• Dance. This is a special element of everyday life for me. It has a positive effect on the body, head and soul. I can't live without it.
• Positive energy for life. I try to smile and draw energy from the world and my immediate environment.
• Contact with people I love working with. They always make me very curious.

These 4 elements help me stay healthy, because for me it is a very broad concept. I consider them in both physical and mental dimensions.

The sport I practice regularly is... dancing. I don't have much space for additional activities. I also try to take care of my health preventively, so I avoid sports that may be injury-prone. My body is my work tool, so I have to take proper care of it.

I spend about 25-30 hours a week dancing .

My motivation for dancing is... pleasure and love for this form of art and sport. Dance combines the perfection of physical performance, but also has great artistic and spiritual depth.

I don't meditate, but... I try to relax using breathing and music, which helps me focus on what my body and soul internally need at a given moment.

My diet is based on... a variety of meals, without excluding individual products. I love good and quality food.

I end the day by... winding down after a whole day of intense work. Often with a glass of good red wine, which I bring back from my trips abroad.

I spend… about 7-8 hours sleeping .

The thing I do just for myself is… I'm still learning about it. I am constantly doing something for others: I help with dance careers, I develop my clients' dance skills in the dance studio. Recently, I have been allowing myself to go on completely private trips and this is something I do only for myself.

I don't have any small sins because... I don't regret anything in my life.

Happiness for me is... love that I recently found. I learned the true meaning of this word, both happiness and love. This is something amazing and important to me.

Luxury for me is... time that I can devote to myself and my loved ones.

My small, everyday steps in taking care of the planet are... limiting the use of the car when it is not necessary. I walk to my dance studio.

The advice I would give my 20-year-old self again is… listen to your heart and intuition. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to live and act in accordance with your heart.

A book I recently read and recommend is… “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek. I agree with his approach to focus not on what and how we do it, but why we do it.
