How Your Small Daily Habits Lead to Big Change

We live in a world, where we easily find ourselves being obsessed with quick fixes and instant gratification, and the idea that small daily habits can have a profound impact on our lives often goes overlooked. Yet, the truth is, it’s not the grand gestures twice a year that bring about lasting change, but rather the small, consistent actions we take every day. These habits, when repeated consistently over time, can lead to transformative results, and can shape our future for the better. Let’s dig into this a bit further… The Compound Effect of Small Habits One of the most compelling reasons to focus on small daily habits is the power of the compound effect. This concept, popularized by Darren Hardy in his book The Compound Effect, highlights how small, seemingly insignificant actions, when repeated over time, can lead to significant outcomes. Consider the simple habit of learning a new language for 15 minutes every day. At first, it might not seem like much. But over a year, that adds up to 91 hours of …

How to outgrow yourself

”Stop shrinking to fit places you have outgrown.” Change is not always easy, but necessary. Stop playing small, challenge your comfort zones and release limiting beliefs holding you back from evolving. It’s time to put yourself in the driver’s seat. First things first, you need to start identifying the limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Limiting beliefs are like invisible chains that keep us from reaching our full potential. These are the thoughts and assumptions we hold about ourselves and the world that prevent us from taking risks, pursuing our dreams, and living the life we truly desire. They can manifest in various forms, such as ”I’m not good enough,” ”I don’t deserve success,” or ”It’s too late for me to change.” If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a rut, unable to move forward despite your best efforts, these beliefs might be the root cause. What Are Limiting Beliefs? Limiting beliefs are convictions that we hold to be true, but in reality, they are merely perceptions influenced by past experiences, societal expectations, or …

The Power of Silence

I never found the stillness, nor the silence, to be empty, frightening, in fact, it’s always filled with answers, ideas and directions. The more stillness I’ve invited, the more I’ve realised its profoundness. Redirecting our focus inwards, allows us to tap into the vastness and limitlessness that resides within us. People are so familiar with noise, distractions, sounds, interruptions and opinions, that silence has become rare, and sometimes even disturbing. Silence is a powerful tool because people don’t expect silence. People expect argument, disturbance, debate, and they seek every opportunity to be right, to have the final word. Make them uncomfortable, hence, let them become aware, before they act. Become aware of the peacefulness that surrounds the moment. To master silence is to master your voice, it’s to master your surroundings and it’s to master yourself. Make space for silence, and you’ll make space for sensational thoughts to enter. Whenever I want to gain some new inspiration, and allow new thoughts to enter, I free write. It can be about absolutely anything. It can start …

Dear September…

… and my heart melted. ”While some people like to dance underneath the stars in June, others like to play with the red leaves of September, And I’m blissfully, wholeheartedly stuck in the middle.” … And like the wisest of them all, you’re letting go of what no longer serves you. Your brisk wind makes everything rejuvenating. The days; alluring and brightful, the nights; dark and calm. I see a star waiting to be born, intentions waiting to be established, a nature waiting to be cherished, and a life waiting to be lived.  September is for watching red leaves falling. Creating space. Caring for oneself, and others. Just like nature, we transform. Becoming whole, empowered and complete. Putting positive intentions into everything we do. Silently witness the beauty of nature – notice how seductively and effortlessly she’s unfolding her treasures. Fearless. September is for enjoying the darkness, as well as the bright light within. It’s for grasping opportunities. Looking within for happiness, success and courage. Sometimes the things we want the most are closer than we think. …

Dear August…

… you make me feel at home. At home in this restless soul of mine. ”Darling, if you want to know love you must lose your fear of life.” The leaves shine bright in warm golden light. Utterly mesmerized, while watching summer falling artlessly in love with the early breaths of fall, whispering final words of goodbyes. Be aware darling human, be aware, you’re shifting, like the softest, brittlest wind. Stay open, be alert, now, the perfect time for a rebirth. While I’ve always kept summer close to my heart, still and all I believe my soul breathes for fall. August is for faith. Love and compassion. Knowing one’s worth, and the ability to shine light in another person’s life. Taking care of the body, as well as the soul. Exploring new cities and friendships. It’s for constantly learning, constantly evolving. Small steps in the right direction. Appreciating every victory, every mistake. Blissful mornings. Dark, quiet evenings. Golden opportunities from dusk till dawn. The ability to inspire other human beings. Improving the quality of life. Challenging …

Why the Early Hours Hold so Much Potential

”Elevate your mornings – elevate your life.” Imagine starting your day with energy, clarity, and purpose—each morning a new opportunity to set the tone for a successful day. I truly believe mornings are magical, and hold the key to unlocking a more meaningful life, yet many of us hit the snooze button, missing out on the transformative potential that is hidden within the early hours. However, elevating your mornings isn’t just about waking up earlier; it’s about consciously designing a routine that aligns with your goals and well-being. By doing so, you can start to elevate your entire life. The Science Behind Mornings Why then do mornings matter so much? Research shows that our willpower and decision-making abilities are strongest in the morning. This is when our minds are fresh and anew, and we have the most control over how we spend our time. When you create a morning routine that prioritizes your well-being and personal growth, you’re more likely to make choices that benefit you throughout the day. Designing Your Elevated Morning Routine Creating …

How to Elevate Your Life

”Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.” Before stepping into your elevated self you need to take a moment to cherish and forgive the past version of yourself; the version that does not serve you any longer, the version that you have outgrown. Maybe there are things in the past that you are not proud of; decisions you wish you had not made and plans not working out the way you hoped for. However, without these experiences you would not be where you are today. Everything you have gone through has taken you to this very moment. So, please forgive yourself for being too hard on yourself, for always judging your actions and whereabouts. You are exactly who you are meant to be right now. All is well in your life. And now when we have cleared that out… It is time to step into your elevated self. 1. First things first, become clear about the limiting beliefs and blocks that are holding you back from achieving your potential and stepping into your …

Maybe you are already healed

There’s nothing to change, nothing to improve, nothing to become. You are already complete. You are exactly who you are meant to be, in this moment. Surrender, trust and know, everything is happening for the highest good of all. Healing is not a linear process; it happens in waves. Some days you wake up and feel like conquering the world, other days you feel like bed rotting. For some, healing can take several years, while for others it is a much faster process, it all depends on how we choose to respond to it. There is a life beyond healing. The importance of realising when you have become stuck in your healing process. When you find yourself being too comfortable doing all the shadow work, deep healing work, but not moving past that. Not taking any actions in improving your day-to-day life, since you are ”simply healing”, month after month, in your own comfortable bubble. When you are spending too much time alone, reflecting over the past, or dreaming of the future, in stead of …
