Below you’ll find some tips to help you connect with and rely on your inner wisdom. 1. Cultivate Self-Awareness: Take the time to understand yourself better.

The flow of life

”Destruction breeds creation.” Life is a series of natural, and spontaneous changes. To obtain peace and happiness, it’s vital that we become comfortable with everything that’s unfolding; circumstances taking place, feelings and emotions running through our bodies, as well as people dancing in and out of our lives. Change is the nature of life. It’s the nature of your being. The only rational thing for us to do is to embrace every aspect of life – the good and the bad, the highs and the lows, the love and the fear – whatever life may present us with; shouldn’t we just dive right in, and at least try our best in line with the moment we’re in. But what if, there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so, as William Shakespeare so neatly put it. According to the Vedas (the primary texts of Hinduism) there is no such thing as good or bad, right or wrong. There are only creation -> maintenance -> destruction. Then back to creation. Flowing like a beautiful …

A Guide to Setting Monthly Intentions

In our hectic day-to-day life where the hours, days, and weeks often blur together, setting monthly intentions can serve as a compass, guiding us toward our desired destination. Intentions act as a roadmap for personal growth, providing clarity and purpose to your actions. I’m a firm believer in writing my intentions down, preferably on a piece of paper. When it comes to intentions, you can choose to write daily, weekly, monthly and/or yearly intentions. I prefer to write my intentions in the beginning of every month, as well as set one daily intention that helps guiding me throughout the day. For many years now I’ve been writing almost daily in my journal. Usually I write down my feelings and emotions or set a daily intention. However, lately I’ve become aware of my tendency to simply put words on a piece of paper without any deeper thought behind them. I find myself writing sentences without taking the time to reflect what they mean to me. This I want to change. Instead of aimlessly writing things down …

How to Live in Alignment with the Seasons

”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 There’s a timeless wisdom in tuning into the natural rhythms of the seasons. Living in alignment with the seasons is a gentle reminder that, just like nature, we transform. Throughout our lives we learn how to evolve, how to let go, surrender and rest. Let’s explore how we can benefit from aligning our lifestyles with the everchanging seasons. Winter – A Season of Rest and Introspection Winter, often associated with stillness, provides an opportunity for rest and introspection. And it’s a beautiful time to learn and practise patience. Just as nature takes a pause to prepare for the next cycle, you too can benefit from slowing down. Embrace the longer nights as a chance to recharge, reflect on the past year, and set intentions for your future; which seeds do you wish to plant and watch grow during spring and summer? Create a cosy, …

Unleash the Power of Your Creativity

Creativity is an innate human ability that knows no bounds. It’s a force that propels us beyond the ordinary, sparking innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. In a world that thrives on constant change, fostering creativity has become not just a luxury but a necessity. ”Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.” – Pablo Picasso The Essence of Creativity At its core, creativity is the art of connecting dots that, at first, may seem unrelated. It’s about seeing the world through a different lens, finding inspiration in unexpected places, and daring to think beyond conventional boundaries. Whether you’re an artist, a scientist, or a business professional, tapping into your creative reservoir can unlock novel solutions and fresh, new perspectives. Embracing a Creative Mindset The journey towards unlocking creativity often begins with cultivating a creative mindset. This involves embracing curiosity, staying open to new ideas, and being unafraid of taking risks. Creativity flourishes in an environment where mistakes are viewed as stepping stones to innovation, rather than roadblocks. The Role of Passion and …

How to be magnetic

Life hits different the moment you start embracing your entire self. When you start realising your true worth and capabilities. The moment you start becoming true to yourself, and are clear about the ways in which you have been holding yourself back from expanding, is the moment your light starts shining through. The power to be magnetic is all yours. That magnetism of yours is sprouted from deep within. It won’t come through a new hair cut or fancy clothing (although, these outer things can be regarded as the cherry on top of the ice cream). But no, true magnetism is created from your deepest core – in a way it can be seen as your soul shining brighter, and therefore blossoming through, boosting your magnetism. I believe there are certain habits that we can adapt, in order to boost our power and charisma, without having to visit the hair dresser.

What you focus on expands

”But, what if, you’re actually evolving simply by being. By simply accepting and surrendering to the moment. Don’t resist the moment, whatever it contains. Sit with it, observe it, be aware of it – don’t label it. Be with it. Let go of what you know, and let yourself be open to the fresh, the new.” Dear 2023, thank you for all the beautiful moments, the stillness, challenges and experiences. Dear 2024, I’m curious – I sense you will be filled with bliss, growth and laughter. Freedom. Love. What we focus on expand. So, focus on what you want out of life.

How to set healthy boundaries

In order to build your own personal and emotional space you need to know how to set and communicate healthy boundaries. It’s essential to establish and communicate personal boundaries for our mental and emotional wellbeing, and sometimes even our safety. But why can communicating boundaries be so darn difficult at times? And how do we set compassionate boundaries within our relationships? I believe it’s rather common to fall into a victim mindset once you realise you’ve put other people’s needs above your own. You start blaming yourself for not knowing better. However, this attitude won’t help you evolve. In other words, it can in fact be detrimental for your growth. Therefore, although easier said than done, try not to fall into a negative, victim mindset. Instead, recognize it as an opportunity to take your power back. The focus should be on learning and growing. Healthy boundaries – Compassion towards self. Why can setting and communicating boundaries be so challenging at times? There may be various reasons for this, and it depends of course on the person, or …
