Trust the process

Publicerat av

”And maybe it’s actually not so much about changing, but more so about becoming the person one always has been. Not finding oneself, but recognising and honouring that self.” – l.m.v I’ve noticed that the quieter my surroundings, hence the less stimuli I expose myself to, the more space I create for my inner voice to shine through. I easily distract myself with either work, social media, music, a podcast, a book or by watching YouTube. However, I do cherish the time in-between; doing yoga, taking a walk in nature, exercising or meditating. Nevertheless, even then it’s not completely quiet around me, since I always have music, a podcast or a book in my ears. After one week with less stimuli, and outside distractions, I’ve once again noticed the importance of silence in order to hear the silent whispers of the soul, and to reach that so called flow state. It’s not uncommon that we humans find the silence to be boring, and even frustrating – especially if one is not used to it. And if one is …

Small daily habits to improve your life

Publicerat av

”Ask yourself; Does this support my innermost being?” While being perfect is rather boring, we should instead strive to be a bit more willing to be the best version of ourselves. A version that will change from day to day, from hour to hour even. Some days we learn, some days we win. However, we don’t stop when the mountain gets too high or the sea too rough. Rather, we adjust. We may scream a little (or a lot), we may laugh at our foolishness. But we continue, we adapt. And that’s how we evolve. ”Fragile you are, little seed. Planted in the depths of thick, dark, nourishing soil. Resilient you are, blooming flower. Early spring.” l.m.v I strongly believe it’s the small daily habits that encompass the greatest value on our overall wellbeing. Like waking up early dawn, knowing it’s time to make yourself a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The smell and sound of coffee beans grinding. The taste of creamy oat milk, nicely poured on top of a hot, steamy cup of …

In alignment

Publicerat av

”How your life feels is more important than how it looks.” Being in alignment – body, mind and soul – how does that feel? When does one know, one is in alignment with life? In this moment, here and now, would you say you’re in alignment? ”Let yourself feel the sun on your skin, the crisp wind through your hair, let your feet touch the grass. And your words, let them flow, gently, so kindly, within, as well as without. Let them be, who they are. Let go, create space, move forward. Here, be here. Just as you are. Smile, and breathe. Dance a little. Still, here you are.” l.m.v I believe being in alignment has a lot to do with if one’s words align with one’s actions. Oftentimes we say one thing, and then end up doing the opposite. Not fulfilling our potential. Listening to and believing in the voice ”You can’t do it”, rather than to the voice ”Of course you can, go for it!” A rather common human trait. Why? I don’t, …

How to release emotions in a healthy way

Publicerat av

”Feel the feeling, but don’t become the emotion.Allow & release.” Ever experienced a deep need or desire to scream out loud? However, considering your surroundings, you never do. From where does this impulse stem from? Suppose this craving sneaks up during days when you feel frustrated, a bit anxious and stressed out. Pent up emotions eventually need to be released. It’s rather common to bottle up ones emotions; we might not want to face them, hence run away from them, seeking out instant pleasures from our external environment. Nevertheless, in due course they will catch up on us. With this being said, in what ways can these emotions be released from our bodies? You see, you don’t want them to build a nest within you, keeping you depressed, anxious or sick. But first things first – never ever apologize for feeling a certain way. Your feelings are valid – each and every one of them. Feelings come up for a reason, and choosing to hold on to the negative ones might make you sick. Liberate …

The sacred intuitive mind

Publicerat av

”Creativity thrives in stillness, arises from the no-thingness.” When you allow yourself to simply sit, with yourself, and let the thoughts wander freely – no holding on, no grasping, simply observing; insights, and new solutions to your challenges might arise. One of our biggest dilemmas, I believe, is that we think about life more than we are actually living life. And isn’t it precisely because of that, that we need to remember to appreciate the moments in between. Life is to be found in the smallest of details; the morning sun gently caressing the ground, the taste of ocean air, your lovers facial expression when she’s talking about something important to her, a strangers helping hand, the sound of your sleeping child. Lately, I’ve given myself the time to sit down and write. Writing has often been the thing that has provided me with the most comfort; to acknowledge the calmness, and just let whatever that wants to arise, arise. You see, the words, more often than not, surface out of the stillness. They don’t …

Dear November…

Publicerat av

… let’s get lost, shall we? ”Get lost, on the path less traveled, and return, a little bit more well-lived.” Embrace the thought – Never fully completed – and your existence might become a little less intimidating. More light-hearted, less heavy. You do not have to have all the answers. All the lovers. All the glimmery, shiny things. As long as you have an intense yearning to listen, understand, and respond accordingly. As long as you carry within a deep desire to experience all that’s making you grow, bold and flow. Compassionate. Get lost, on the path less traveled, and return,a little bit more well-lived.With bruises and scars, but a heart so filled. Smell the roses, taste your tears,unlock your laugh. Whenever your voice can’t carry you– in an honest manner – speak, however soft, and weak. It’s a spinning wheel, or a tranquil deal. Your choice.Off-track, on-track, in-between, love and laughter,fear and disaster. It is you life, be that as it may,always say thank you, for this new day.You do not know what it …

Mindsets for growth

Publicerat av

A healthy mind is a loving mind; towards the self as well as others. As life is constantly moving forward, moment by moment, we too need to learn how to best adapt to the circumstances and changes happening both within and without. Below you will find a few powerful mindsets to adapt in your day-to-day life to make it more prosperous and rewarding. An abundance mindset – growth mindset ”There is enough for everybody’s need, but not for everybody’s greed”. – Mahatma Gandhi There is plenty for everyone to go around. There is no lack in this universe; it’s simply a belief that you have been telling yourself all these years. Honor other people’s successes, be genuinely happy for people living their best lives. If another person succeeds, it doesn’t mean that there will be less for you. Instead, regard it as a source of inspiration. Just look at nature – she’s filled with beauty. Just look at the sky – it’s filled with endless possibilities. Just feel the earth – it’s filled with comfort. …

Ways to be more mindful

Publicerat av

”Be aware; make a move, take a stand, take a chance. Embrace and work with what is.” Every moment, peacefully passing by. What happens now, in this moment, guides us into the next. Pay attention to your surroundings, as well as your inner state, as it nourishes greater awareness, clarity and acceptance of what is. Don’t miss out on life, don’t miss out on what is of greatest value. Growth and transformation happen the moment you realize the richness and the depth of your potentialities. As every moment peacefully evolves, so are you.  How to become more mindful? How to become more acceptant of what is? There are several methods helping us to cultivate a more intimate relationship with the present moment, ways for us to achieve serenity. Peace of mind. Below you’ll find some of my favourites. Tranquility speaks ”Listen to the whispers of your soul.” 4.30 am. I forgot how peaceful it is to wake up at dawn. Complete darkness surrounding me, however, the light within keeping me safe. The early hours present …

The cure for loneliness

Publicerat av

”By helping each other we’re helping ourselves.” It seems like humans are feeling more lonely and isolated than ever before. And whereas there are varying root causes to this I wish to adress one possible explanation. Self-empowerment, self-help, self-actualization, self-care, self, self, self Self-absorbtion. While I believe the self-help industry has many positive side effects, I also believe that the moment we become too self-absorbed the negative effects outweigh the positive ones. In other words, if you’re overly concerned with yourself, your own feelings and thoughts you might easily turn into a self-absorbed human being. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe in self-empowerment, self-actualization and self-growth. I believe in self-love. Compassion towards others begins with compassion towards the self. It’s nothing wrong in wanting to improve and evolve as a human being, in fact, it’s a necessity for us in order to evolve as a spieces. You’re not special. I think it was the Dalai lama who said that whenever he is having a talk in front of thousands of people he always reminds …

A note to the highly sensitive human

Publicerat av

“To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness…” “Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’ or having ‘too many issues’ are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.” ― Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny …. the highly sensitive human often finds it more relaxing to be surrounded by nature, the magic of a full moon, or the ever comforting presence of an animal, than by being surrounded by a group of humans. by all means, the highly sensitive human loves humans. she regards them as highly …
