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

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 …

A simple guide on how to change your mindset

Publicerat av

”Our minds are like gardens – what we plant, we grow.” Our minds are powerful tools that not only shape our perceptions, but our behaviours, and ultimately, our reality. The way we choose to approach challenges, setbacks, and successes is deeply influenced by our mindset. Luckily, thanks to neuroplasticity our human mind is adaptable, and with conscious and consistent effort, we can change our mindset to foster a more positive and growth-oriented outlook on life. Self-awareness is key It all starts with self-awareness. In order to start changing your mindset, you need to become aware of your current beliefs and attitudes. Identify any negative thought patterns that may be holding you back from moving forward in life. Understanding your mindset is crucial for initiating change. Challenge negative thoughts Once you’ve identified the negative thought patterns keeping you stuck; challenge them. Ask yourself whether these thoughts are based on facts or assumptions. Are they helping you grow, or are they limiting your potential? Replace negative thoughts with positive and constructive perspectives. Cultivate a growth mindset Psychologist …

A Guide to Setting Monthly Intentions

Publicerat av

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 …

Small daily habits to improve your life

Publicerat av

”Ask yourself; Does this support my innermost being?” While being perfect is rather boring, we should instead strive to be a bit more willing to be the best version of ourselves. A version that will change from day to day, from hour to hour even. Some days we learn, some days we win. However, we don’t stop when the mountain gets too high or the sea too rough. Rather, we adjust. We may scream a little (or a lot), we may laugh at our foolishness. But we continue, we adapt. And that’s how we evolve. ”Fragile you are, little seed. Planted in the depths of thick, dark, nourishing soil. Resilient you are, blooming flower. Early spring.” l.m.v I strongly believe it’s the small daily habits that encompass the greatest value on our overall wellbeing. Like waking up early dawn, knowing it’s time to make yourself a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The smell and sound of coffee beans grinding. The taste of creamy oat milk, nicely poured on top of a hot, steamy cup of …

When you’re feeling overwhelmed & stuck

Publicerat av

”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 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 that inner fire. 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 is – a moment …

Talk about what you love

Publicerat av

”Dear life, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”   My darlings, let’s talk about the things we love, shall we? I love soft hearts, the birth of a new season, watching the sky, at night, brimming with stars. I love a white canvas, painting my life, feeding my soul. I love talking to strangers, deep conversations, I smile, when you smile. I love waking up early dawn, life’s still asleep, my heart wide awake. I love writing, feeding you hope, feeding you joy and laughter. I love the moon, the sun, and the stars. I love summer. In fact, I love all seasons. Autumn, winter, spring. I love the serenity of nature, the richness and wisdom she provides. I love books. Oh, how I adore a great book. I love walking in an empty street, the stillness, the force of life running through my veins. I love a crowded market place, a foreign country, conversations …

Motivational Mantras

  She possesses a peaceful confidence that screams power. She is humble, but fierce. She is stable, with a rebellious soul. She is loving, but far from naive. She chooses her struggles wisely, cause she always knew what she wanted. Dangerously intelligent she’s prepared to fight. And when that time comes;fight she does.   I haven’t yet written down any actual goals for 2018. At least not any clear and precise ones. But what I’ve done is that I’ve written down how I want to feel 2018. I think that is as important as setting goals; If you know how you want to feel when you travel through life the things you want, need and long for the most will come to you more effortlessly. Why do you want to achieve certain things? Why are they important to you? Is it just because you want to impress others, or do you want to impress yourself, improve yourself? I’ve written down 9 life mantras that I will strive to live by this year. I’ve already been …
