Why self-care is an inner journey

Publicerat av

I matter I truly cherish a real glow-up day with my whole heart—morning meditation, mat Pilates, face massage, skincare routine, dry brushing, a shower, and finishing it all off by moisturising my entire body. Closer to a goddess I cannot become. This is me every morning. Some would call it high-maintenance; I call it important time with myself. This is simply an outer form of self-care, yet within its vanity there lies a deeper meaning: I matter. You see, it’s not so much what you do, but why you do it. Do you do it to get others to like you, or do you do it because you love yourself? A 10-step skin care routine won’t magically transform you to a self-loving individual who knows their worth. Without the inner form of self-care, the outer form stands worthless. But what is that inner form of self-care? How does it show up in your life? It’s sticking to your promises. It’s making time for your hobbies in a hectic schedule. It’s allowing yourself to simply be …

Allow me space to breathe

Publicerat av

My brain is overstimulated. Over heated. Maybe it’s due to the ongoing heatwave, or simply cause of the constant stream of information that is flooding my external environment. It’s like my brain is screaming ”Enough!” I don’t want to see any more irrelevant updates from strangers, what they are eating, what their kids are eating, what they are thinking, where they are vacationing. My brain does not have space for it all. It barely has space for my own whereabouts. I want to hear my own thoughts. I want to feel my own breath. And don’t get me wrong. Inspiration arising from the external world can be golden; like the way the sun lights up the room early morning, the sound of leaves in the wind, your favourite song, a stranger’s laughter. We decide where to direct our attention – The things we find beautiful, the things that light us up. The things that gently speak to us. Still, how often do we neglect the inspiration that comes from within? The silent whispers from our …

The Power of Authenticity

Publicerat av

We spend our lives seeking answers, as if they were buried deep within others’ minds, only to realise that the truth isn’t a single right answer – it lies within us. There’s something truly magical about authentic people. They move through the world with unwavering sincerity, fully embracing their unique perspectives, passions, and values. And in doing so, they inspire and create space for others to do the same. Think about it for a while; The greatest innovations usually come from those who dare to think differently. Fully rooted within themselves, they don’t seek validation; they follow their inner compass. The path may not always be straight or easy, but it’s one that stays true to who they are. Breaking Free from the Fear of Judgment One of the biggest reasons people struggle to be themselves is the fear of judgment. But here’s the truth: No matter what you do, people will always have opinions. Some will support you, others won’t. Since judgment is inevitable, why not be judged for staying true to your most …

There is No Timeline; Move Forward at Your Own Pace

Publicerat av

Moving forward at your own pace, without the burden of comparing yourself to others, is one of the most freeing mindsets you can embrace. A truth we often overlook: there is no one timeline for success. Life isn’t a race or a competition; it’s a journey that we each get to walk in our own way. We choose where we want to go, how we want to do it and when we want to do it. No one is handing over you a manuscript; you are the writer. The creator. The Illusion of a ”Right” Timeline There are endless variations to the human experience. Many of the people I admire found their stride later in life, after trying different paths, failing, learning, and eventually discovering what they truly loved. Fulfilment can come at any age and any stage. Let life move through you, harmoniously, according to the seasons. You’re not “behind” if your life don’t match an imaginary timeline that society puts on us. The reality is that life very seldom fits into neat boxes. …

The Power of Authenticity

Publicerat av

Embracing authenticity is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself and those around you. Authenticity is when you align your inner self—your values, beliefs, and emotions—with your outer actions and behaviors. It means living in a way that is true to who you are, rather than trying to fit into someone else’s idea of who you should be. When you are authentic, you are honest with yourself and others, and you make choices that reflect your true self. Authenticity – Your biggest strength People are naturally drawn to authenticity. When you are genuine, others can sense it. They know that what you say and do comes from a place of honesty and integrity. This builds trust, which is the foundation of any strong relationship—whether personal or professional. When you are authentic, you create space for others to be authentic as well, leading to deeper, more meaningful connections. What is more, being authentic is like stepping into freedom; accepting yourself fully —flaws and all. This self-acceptance is liberating. When you stop trying …

Channel Your Self-Worth for Success

Publicerat av

”Your worth is not something you earn; it’s something you recognize.” To embrace and channel our self-worth in a world that constantly bombards us with expectations and comparisons, can be a real game-changer. Yes, success requires taking action, executing the right strategy, and maybe a little bit of luck. But there’s another ingredient that’s often overlooked but equally powerful: self-worth. What is Self-Worth? Self-worth is the deep-seated belief that you are valuable, deserving of love, and capable of achieving great things. It’s about recognising your inherent value and not letting external circumstances define your worth. You’re born, you’re breathing, you’re alive – meaning you are worthy. There’s nothing you need to do, or prove, to become worthy. The moment you were born, were the moment you were worthy. When you truly believe in your worth, it influences every aspect of your life—from your relationships to your career and every little thing in between. Why Self-Worth is Key to Success? When you value yourself, you also trust your instincts and decisions. You’re less likely to second-guess …

The importance of staying true to yourself

Publicerat av

In a world that constantly tells us who to be, what to wear, how to think, and what to aspire to, staying true to yourself can feel like a radical act of rebellion. Yet, it’s the most fulfilling path to inner contentment and genuine connections. ”Embrace who you are at your core and let it shine forth in every aspect of your life.” But what does it mean being authentic? Authenticity means being honest with yourself and others about who you are, what you believe, and how you feel. It’s about aligning your actions with your values and allowing your true self to be seen, even when it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient. First Step: Self-Reflection Authenticity begins with self-reflection. Take time to understand your values, passions, strengths, and weaknesses. Journaling can be a powerful tool for this. For example you can begin to ask yourself questions like: Being Perfectly Imperfect Trying to be perfect will only move you further away from your authenticity. Instead, try to embrace your imperfections and vulnerabilities, and see how it will …

Authenticity

Publicerat av

”Thou may be kind, but that doesn’t make thou naive. Thou may be vulnerable, but that doesn’t make thou weak.”   Authentic: Not false or copied; genuine; real. Representing one’s true nature or beliefs; true to oneself or to the person identified.  Authenticity. What does it mean? What does it mean to you? Who are you, when you’re your most authentic self? And why is it, that at times, it makes one feel weak when showing one’s true nature? It makes one feel exposed. Vulnerable. You peeled off all of your layers, you ripped off all of your clothes, standing bare naked, hand in hand with your soul.  I believe in being genuine. To myself and to the people around me. However, that doesn’t mean that I’ve always succeeded in showing my true self. Far from it. Nonetheless, I can honestly say that there has been a tremendous growth within me when it comes to being honest. And I kinda like that. It makes me feel powerful. Far from weak. Some people might call me naive. On …
