Soft habits to come back to yourself

Publicerat av

At times, the outside world can make us feel a little uneasy, frustrated, or overwhelmed. Everywhere we turn, there’s noise, opinions and endless stimulation. There’s always something to react to, absorb, or be affected by—sometimes without us even realising it. And sure, all of this external input can be inspiring. It can spark ideas or fuel our creativity. But it can also become too much. There are moments when we don’t recognise the sound of our own voice, because it has been buried beneath the volume of everything coming from the outside. In those moments, it’s vital to take a step back and to reconnect with our own voice. To return to our own intuition. Most of the time, the answers we’re looking for aren’t out there—they’re within us. But to access that inner wisdom, we need space. We need peace. We need stillness. That’s where soft habits come in. These gentle, grounding rituals that can help us return to ourselves. Here are a few of my personal favorites—habits I come back to when I need to …

The feminine – The Power in Stillness

Publicerat av

For me, the power in stillness is about being fully with yourself. Not halfway. Not in fragments. But fully. It’s about being okay with your own company, not just tolerating it, but thriving in it. Because when you’re truly with yourself, you remember: You are already everything you will ever need. There is nothing outside of you that can complete you, because you are not missing anything. You never were. To recognize that—to feel that in your bones—is powerful. Stillness is not about doing nothing. It’s about moving through life with a presence that comes from deep within. It’s that soft, steady confidence: ”I am enough as I am.” Yes, you have dreams, desires, and needs.You are human. You’re allowed to want, to long, to reach. But those desires don’t define your worth. They are not proof that you are enough.You were worthy long before you asked for anything. She—the woman who lives in her stillness— is open to life. She is strong in her boundaries. And she is graceful in her presence. She carries a softness that doesn’t …

The feminine

Publicerat av

The feminine is powerful.Not because she’s loud,but because she’s rooted. She is powerful in her being,in her softness,in her groundedness. She’s like a flower—blooming, flourishing—not needing permissionor validationto exist. She just is. She knows her worth.She knows what she brings—to the table,to the room,to the world. She holds space for herself.And she’s open—open to receiving the right kind of energy. She doesn’t chase.She attracts. She stands in her authenticity,unafraid to be fully,unapologeticallyherself. Yes—she makes mistakes.She’s human.And she’s okay with that. She doesn’t punish herselffor being human.Because every experience,every scar,is part of her becoming. She’s learning.She’s growing.She’s evolving. And through it all,she allows herself to bethis beautiful, ever-changingwork of art. She is the creatorof her own life. She already holds everything she needs:her beauty,her wisdom,her strength,her confidence. She’s not loud.But don’t mistake that for weakness. She is powerful—quietly powerful. In a world obsessed with noise,with striving,with doing,she simply is. And that unsettles people.Because she doesn’t conform.She doesn’t strive to prove.She allows.She flows.She lives. And when people see that…that grounded presence,that self-trust…they may not know what to do with it. But …

Imposter Syndrome, Art, and the Courage to Begin Again

Publicerat av

”I paint more from feeling than from thought.” A few years ago, something quiet and persistent within me said, “You need to start painting.” So I did—without a plan, without training, without knowing why. I followed feeling. I let color move where words couldn’t. My work lives in the spaces between: softness and stillness, motion and memory, the inner landscapes we don’t always know how to name. I use whatever medium feels right in the moment—acrylics, pastels, texture, gesture. What matters most to me is honesty. That the work comes from a true place. To my surprise, people noticed. Friends, family, even colleagues asked if they could buy a piece. At first I was touched—and then, slowly, doubt crept in. Who am I to call this art? Who am I to charge money for something I barely understand myself? That voice got louder, and eventually, I stopped painting. It’s been nearly five years now. But something inside me is shifting again. This time, I want to return differently. Not as someone who needs to prove anything—but as someone who …

The unfolding

Publicerat av

Part 2; ”I love who I am returning to.” This is not about becoming someone new, it’s about unfolding into who you always been. It’s about honoring every version of yourself that came before. It’s about finally being able to look at yourself – honestly – and say ”I love who I am remembering.” So, unfolding is not just about who you are growing into, it’s also about making peace with all the layers you clothed yourself with. Loving who you are returning to means accepting every version of you that was masking the real you – The uncertain one. The one who feared taking up space, the one who doubted, or did not yet know the innate worth resting inside. Growth does not mean hiding from, or escaping those parts, it means embracing and accepting them. Unfolding does not begin with striving toward the new. It starts with acceptance, and sometimes, it’s about surrender. Letting go of past identities or beliefs that no longer fit. Releasing old stories, and narratives that are holding you …

Allow yourself to blossom

Publicerat av

Part 1; ”I am allowed to blossom.” ”You are allowed to take up space just by being you, by simply existing. ” Not striving, not performing , simply allowing. Blossoming not because you should, but because it’s in your nature. Observe nature right now, how she is stunningly herself, not asking for permission to bloom – she just is. You do not need to earn your worthiness. There’s nothing to prove, just a quiet, soft confidence, not loud or forced, but grounded in something ancient and true. Like a garden early summer – sun-warmed, lush, quietly alive. There’s nothing to hold back, nothing to be rushed, a simple reminder that your are unfolding. Allow yourself to move with the colorful flowers, the lush trees, the spellbound waters. Everything which you are a part of. Maybe you have dimmed parts of yourself. Maybe you softened your brightness so others wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. Maybe you stayed small in moments where you longed to express yourself. But all of this time there was this soft, gentle inner voice …

A soft confidence

Publicerat av

Soft confidence. A confidence that doesn’t shout or demand validation. It resides deep within: a quiet knowing, trust in oneself, eager to follow one’s inner wisdom, even when the world pulls in different directions. Here’s how to begin building that kind of soft inner strength. 1. Start by welcoming stillness Soft confidence begins in stillness. It’s difficult to hear your intuition when you’re constantly distracted by the noise of the outside world. Make space in your life for silence—whether that’s through meditation, walks in nature, journaling, or simply sitting without a screen. Stillness isn’t empty. It’s full of answers. When you slow down, you start to hear the whispers of your inner wisdom. You begin to notice what feels aligned and what feels off. That’s your truth speaking. Listen. 2. Learn the sound of your intuition Very seldom you’ll hear your intuition shouting. It’s a quiet nudge, a gut feeling, a soft but persistent pull in a certain direction. Learning to recognise it takes practice. Patience. Begin by noticing how your body responds to different …

The moment in-between

Publicerat av

The space most of us rush past. Ignore. Not the beginning. No the end.Just the middle. The pause.The moment in-between. It’s the quiet after all is done,but before the next flood of inspiration hits again.The space between one thing and the next.The refreshing exhale before something new begins. But we choose to fill it.With noise. With scrolling. With productivity.This constant urge to go go go. Stillness can feel like discomfort.Boredom can feel like ”I am boring”. Silence can be frightening. Empty. But what if you just started to listen? What if those in-between moments —are the places where you can finally hear yourself breathe? The pause where you feel your energy move through your body.The silent spaciousness where you rememberyou don’t have to become anything to already be worthy. This is not the absence of life.This is life. You are life. Unperformed. Unedited. Undistracted. Peaceful. What if you let yourself pause? Be in the slowness.Be in the quiet.Just be. Be. Stay in the now — even when it’s not exciting. Let yourself: There is wisdom in the pause, clarity …

Part 3; The Season of Becoming

Publicerat av

After the emptying, after the soft, slow season of receiving, happens a quiet shift. A gentle blooming. This is the season of becoming. Or should I say – the season of returning to the real you. It won’t be a sharp turning point, nor a grand transformation. But a subtle unfolding. A moment when you begin to realise: I no longer need to try so hard to be who I already am. Becoming is what happens after you’ve made space, after you’ve received. It’s the natural order of living in integrity with your inner being. Nothing needs to be forced. It effortlessly arises. This season is filled with forward movement — but not the panicky, grasping kind of action. This is inspired action. It’s rooted, quiet and confident. There’s no more chasing. You’re creating, expressing, responding. You’re living from completeness, not from lack. There’s no need to declare this metamorphose.Your energy speaks louder than your words now.This is you, naturally. Let yourself: In this season, life begins to reflect back the internal work you’ve been doing. Not immediately, nor all at once. …

Your body – the home you carry everywhere

Publicerat av

Your body; the one place you’ll live in for your entire life, no matter where you go, what you achieve, or how much your circumstances change it will always be with you as long as you breathe. It is the temple that holds your thoughts, your emotions, your stories; the only home your soul has known in this lifetime. And still, how often do we forget to care for it the same way we would a precious house or sacred space? Before you knew language, you knew sensations such as touch, scent, sight, sound and taste. From day one your body has been communicating with you. Every cell of your body holds information. Have you ever taken the time to listen? Like any home, your loving body requires maintenance — it feeds on rest, nourishment, movement, and compassion. It needs to be listened to when something isn’t working quite right, and appreciated for all the wonderful things it allows you to do each day: breathing, walking, creating, loving, laughing. Living. However, many of us choose …
