Your little dreams matter

Publicerat av

I have introduced a new weekly habit where I take myself to the library. On Saturdays I show up at the front door five minutes before opening, my sight on one of their comfy chairs. And after entering, together with 50 other humans seeking bibliosmia*, I find my seat, sit down, and begin writing. Sometimes I bring a chai latte, more often I wear a chic outfit, and every time make it into this dreamy weekend routine. I don’t always feel motivated to write. Although I want to write the motivation to sit down and do so doesn’t always effortlessly show up. Especially if I don’t know what to write about. But I take action, I show up, and once I do, the motivation follows. First and foremost, I want my dreams to matter to me. I want there to be time for them in this, so often, chaotic world. For what is life, if we’re not tending to our own garden. Your little dreams matter. Whether you wish to pursue writing, singing, painting or …

The choice

Publicerat av

I wanted to write about this thing, or thought, I have been having lately. I always knew about it – the choice – however, I have had difficulties embracing it. And the past few weeks, the universe has shown signs reminding me to dare to believe I actually have a choice. But, I have been thinking it’s not that simple. That life is not simple. That we need to struggle, and work hard, in order to receive things. But what if, this entire time, I was wrong – maybe it can be simple? Maybe I can be happily satisfied with everything I already have, not constantly seeking more. So, what is the choice, I am referring to? It is the choice to choose. To choose happy, to choose love, to choose peace. To choose prosperity. Simply to choose, whatever you wish. Every morning when you wake up you have a choice. And no outer circumstance, or person can interfere with that choice. It is solely your choice to make. Each minute of the day you …

The Power of Small Shifts

Publicerat av

This week I felt like I needed a change. Nothing major, just little shifts to bring some excitement into my usual routine. On Tuesday, I went for an early morning run before work; something I almost never do. Yesterday, I tried the opposite – a late evening run. And today, I booked a private flower arranging course. Hopefully I can already go this Saturday! In between, I’ve been playing with the details of my day: trying new foods, wearing my scarf in different ways, swapping negative thoughts for positive ones. And I realised; it really doesn’t take much to feel a difference. Sometimes it’s just choosing coconut milk instead of oat milk, or taking another route to work. I keep coming back to this idea of small, consistent behaviour. The parts of my life where I feel most grounded are the ones I nurture daily. Eating in a way that feels good for my body. Spending time outdoors. Moving—whether it’s a run, ballet or just twenty minutes of pilates. It doesn’t have to be anything …

Dear September…

Publicerat av

… and my heart melted. ”While some people like to dance underneath the stars in June, others like to play with the red leaves of September. And I’m blissfully, wholeheartedly, stuck in the middle.” … And like the wisest of them all, you’re letting go of what no longer serves you. Your brisk wind makes everything rejuvenating. The days; alluring and brightful, the nights; dark and calm. I see a star waiting to be born, intentions waiting to be established, a nature waiting to be cherished, and a life waiting to be lived.  September is for watching red leaves falling. Creating space. Caring for oneself, and others. Just like nature, we transform. Becoming whole, empowered and complete. Silently witness the beauty of nature – notice how seductively and effortlessly she’s unfolding her treasures. Fearless. September is for enjoying the darkness, as well as the bright light within. It’s for grasping opportunities. Looking within for happiness, success and courage. Sometimes the things we want the most are closer than we think. PAUSE. ”Life starts all over again when …

How to be a happier human

Publicerat av

Let’s talk about happiness. Although, I prefer to call it contentment. While happiness is often just a fleeting moment, contentment feels more like a stable, lasting state—a mindset not affected by external events. So, how can we become more content or ”happier”? I like to see it as a choice. Every morning when we wake up, we have the power to decide how we want to feel. However, we sometimes give that power away, by letting others’ actions or external circumstances dictate our mood. We allow outside things to ruin our day, forgetting that we hold the control. Ultimately, it’s about taking responsibility for your mood. Realising that you’re the one in control also means that you need to take action; maybe you need to change things in your life that you’re not satisfied with, and that requires effort. So, it’s easier to stay in the comfort zone, and let things remain as they always have been. Breaking out of it and choosing a different mindset takes courage, but that’s where true growth and contentment …

This August – Make space for what you love

Publicerat av

To me, August has always been a time for new beginnings, more so than January. Growing up, it marked the beginning of the school year, and with it came the excitement of a fresh start and new possibilities. So, even as an adult I carry the newness of August within me. Wanting to purchase a new calendar, notebook, and most of all I want to re-new my entire wardrobe, and sometimes even my identity. Or maybe it’s not so much about renewing oneself, but more so about coming home to oneself. It’s funny, but the older I get the more I become her; my childlike, creative self who always appreciates the beauty around her. The one who loves to create from the heart, not caring what others might think of her. She just is. So, whenever August arrives I let her come forth a little more; I let her shine and take up space – cause she deserves it. Still, with this being said, any day is a good day to allow your truest self …

The Power of Living from Wholeness

Publicerat av

There comes a moment in life when you will stop entertaining the unnecessary ; the things, people, or experiences that once felt necessary for you to feel worthy. Instead, you’ll learn to come home to yourself. There’s no begging to be chosen. You choose yourself. And from that place of completeness, life begins to meet you differently. You are not chasing. You are attracting. There’s no room for unnecessary drama. You are in alignment, simply being. When you’re rooted in your own self-worth— not the “only if I achieve this or look like that” kind—but the deep knowing that you’re already enough—your entire energy changes. You speak differently. Exist differently.Work, love, create, and relate from a place of wholeness. How does this play out?In your relationships, you no longer over-give just to be kept. You no longer perform just to feel validated or desired. You honor your boundaries to keep your soul safe. You let your value speak through your energy and presence. You trust your own rhythm and timeline. You let inspiration find you instead …

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 …

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 …
