Mindsets for growth

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. …

9 ways to turn your day around

”Find the courage to let go of what you can’t change.” We’ve all been there – feeling unmotivated and uninspired. Stuck in our own minds. But know that you can take your day, and life, in a new direction at any time. Even the smallest of changes, and adjustments can turn a mundane routine into a new exciting one; it’s all about perspectives. Every now and then it’s good to change things up, to keep thoughts and routines fresh, in order to stay motivated and inspired. It’s easy to become under-stimulated if you keep on doing the same things over and over again. And when things don’t happen as quickly as you would have hoped for it’s easy to lose the creativity, and the motivation to move forward. You might not see instant results, something negative happens to you or you might just wake up one morning feeling unmotivated for no particular reason. In these situations it’s even more important that you hold on to hope, and try to see the moment for what it …

5 ways to be more present

”Watch the seasons unfolding.” Introducing more presence to your day-today life has many benefits to your overall wellbeing, however, you don’t have to turn into a meditation guru in order to become more mindful. There are several ways by which you can invite stillness, and thereby welcome a more conscious awareness to your daily life. James Baraz puts it very nicely: ”Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).” Below you’ll find five ways that might help you breathe a bit slower. – walk in nature – ”trust the seasons changing, trust your inner voice; it knows.” There’s a special thing being one with nature, whether it’s watching the ocean, smelling the forest, hiking in the autumn mountains, taking a midnight swim or laughing up in the air. Nature has a tendency to teach us plenty; she teaches us how …

The utmost freedom

”Maybe when humans stop running away from themselves, the world will become a kinder, more peaceful place.” At times freedom has little to do with the outside world, and circumstances. Man becomes free the moment he becomes free of thought. When he does not longer obsess over the constant chatter in his mind, but instead turns towards the heart. Freedom from compulsive thinking, desire, addiction, outside validation, constant approval. How does one become free of all that? One needs to stop. One needs to allow himself to slow down, to listen. When one is constantly bombarding himself with stimuli from outside sources it becomes nearly impossible to hear, or see anything. How is one able to listen to the whispers of the soul if one is continually caught up in the outside circus? How is it possible to become aware of the song of the heart when the sirens of the external environment is set on full volume? One does not typically feel comfortable sitting alone with one’s thoughts. To realise just how dysfunctional they …

How to make your days exciting

”There’s no time to be bored in a world as beautiful as this.” To seek out adventure doesn’t always equal travelling abroad to a far away country, jumping out of a plane or swimming with sharks. What if you could make every day a little bit more adventurous just by challenging your mindset, and changing up some of those mundane routines of yours? Below you’ll find a few mindsets and habits that hopefully can assist you in making your every day life a bit more exciting and joyful. Explore your neighbourhood. Usually it’s the places we are the most exposed to, that we take for granted or fail to appreciate. Have you, in the past few days, taken the time to literally stop and look around? Next time you take a walk in your neighbourhood – leave your phone at home and gaze at the buildings, the surroundings, the people walking by. You might discover a new coffee shop, an antique shop you haven’t yet visited, or simply enjoy the beautiful architecture. Take a course. …

Create your reality

”Ask yourself if what you do today is moving you closer to where you want to be tomorrow.” Your future is created by being present in the moment. Your future is not created then, somewhere in the unforeseen tomorrow, it’s created now. It’s highly determined by your daily actions, thoughts and habits. By being present with yourself you allow yourself to expand and transform into the highest version of yourself. You accept that where you are right now is exactly where you need to be, right now. It doesn’t have to take 3, 5 or 10 years for you to become the highest version of yourself. However, what it does take is for you to put in consistent effort. Dreams usually do not happen over night, but the decision to change can happen in a blink of an eye. Don’t postpone your future just because you’re being lazy or afraid in the moment. See the fear for what it is; fear of the unknown, fear of what’s to come, fear of not being good enough, …

How to focus on your own timeline

”You don’t need someone else’s permission to live your own life.” It’s rather common for us humans to seek other peoples’ approval before we feel we are ready to do something. We might be doubting ourselves, and our capabilities, and therefore seek to be validated by others. Instead of living our lives according to our own timelines, we focus on what other people are doing, and what they might think about us. Leaving us feeling that we’re somehow behind in life. With that being said, if you feel that this is how you operate most of the time then it’s time that you start to use your energy to focus on yourself. Live your life according to your own timeline, and focus on what you can do today. This, however, does not mean that you shouldn’t allow yourself to be inspired by others; by all means, let people inspire you, surround yourself with like-minded, positive people who brings out the best in you. It’s by showing up as your most authentic self, that you will …

Intentions for 2024

”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. What we focus on expand. So, focus on what you want out of life. What do you want to see more of in this world – Then, go about to create it. Nothing good will come out of it if you don’t take action. It all begins with you. A healthy, peaceful planet starts with a healthy peaceful mind. There’s no room for quick fixes, but for an honest and consistent commitment. Creating for the highest good of all. More health. More acceptance. More love. More forgiveness. More …

Mindfulness practises for setting & achieving goals

”How amusing, that we all pretend to be normal when we can be wildly ourselves instead.” Where do you see yourself one year from now? What can you do today, this week, this month that will bring you one step closer to that version of you? Setting daily, weekly and monthly intentions is a great way in order to move closer to that life. Your future is created now. Visualise, and take inspired action. Write it down. The more specific you are about your goals, the better. Write them down, try to be as clear and precise as possible. Putting words, goals – the desired future – on paper will take you one step closer to achieving your dreams. Start with something small; write something down that you wish to happen this week, and witness how it blossoms into reality. Let go of the how. After writing down your goals it’s crucial that you stop obsessing over how everything will happen. You can’t control every situation, or a person in your life. Bear in mind that …

All is well 11.11

There is a force within us, around us, far away from us. It’s penetrating every area of our existence. Wherever we go, it goes with us. Whoever we are, it is within us. Whatever we speak, it speaks through us. Whatever we create, it creates with us. It never leaves our side. It guides us. Protects us. Believes in us. The universe and your intuition have a strong connection, powerfully linked. And you don’t see what’s right there in front of you. You don’t see the magic flooding underneath, the beauty and strength that’s waiting to be released. Your intuition is a powerful force, learn to listen, and trust it, even more. It wants what’s best for you, it always does. Believe in yourself. Believe that all you need is waiting underneath. Waiting for you to come out from beneath, darling you’re already more than complete. Trust that the universe is here to guide you. It always has your back. You are taken care of. Trust in yourself and in your abilities. Allow yourself to …
