Embracing abundance in the present moment

Publicerat av

”You already have everything you will ever need.” Did you know, that you already have everything you will ever need. Look within, and you will find there lies an abundance beyond measure. In a world that constantly urges us to strive for more success, more possessions, more recognition—it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that happiness and fulfilment lie somewhere in the unseen future. However, a powerful and liberating truth lies in the opposite direction: you already have everything you will ever need. To simply know there exists a profound sense of abundance in the present moment. Understanding True Abundance In this context, I’m not talking about outer, superficial abundance in having a surplus of material wealth or external achievements. True abundance is a state of mind—a deep-seated belief that we are enough and have enough right now. When shifting the mindset from scarcity to abundance, it opens the door to appreciating the present moment, and finding joy in the here and now, simply as it is. Allowing and accepting things to be …

Inner-Child Summer

Publicerat av

For me, summer has always been a season synonymous with freedom, adventure, and maybe even a touch of magic. Carefree days spent doing gymnastics on the soft grass, going to the beach getting my first sunburn, eating too much ice cream, reading books, and exploring the world around me. As adults, we often get caught up in responsibilities and routines, losing touch with the simple joys that once made summer so special. But what if we could relive that sense of wonder? This year, let’s embrace an inner-child summer and rekindle the playful spirit within us. At least that is my purpose for this summer… This summer, give yourself permission to embrace the carefree spirit of your inner child. By doing so, you’ll start to re-connect with a part of you that might have been forgotten. What is more, you’ll start to tap into the things that deeply excites you which in turn will bring a sense of calm and fulfilment to your day. Rediscover your playfulness and imagination. Become a master in transforming everyday …

How to Embrace The Art of Surrender

Publicerat av

In our achievement-oriented world, surrender might seem like an undesirable concept. Yet, learning the art of surrender can bring profound peace and fulfilment. Surrender is not about giving up or choosing to be passive. Instead, it is about letting go of the need to control every outcome, embracing uncertainty, and trusting the flow of life. Trusting yourself. To invite calm. A deep knowing that it has already happened; ”What I seek, is seeking me.” Recognising that growth lies on the other side of fear. – When we’re feeling fearful it’s common for us to try to control every aspect of life; even those aspects we have no control over. Imagine how much unnecessary energy is going into that. After a while we’ll start to feel tired, unmotivated and unable to move forward – we’ll become stuck, stuck in our own minds. – It’s completely OK to feel fear, however, never let fear be in charge of your decisions. It’s safe for you to surrender. It’s safe for you to be you, and to express yourself …

The Liberating Act of Not Waiting for Permission

Publicerat av

There’s a powerful and liberating truth that many individuals overlook – the idea that you don’t need permission to pursue your dreams, goals, and passions. Waiting for someone else’s approval can be a hindrance to personal growth and success. Instead, embracing the mindset of not waiting for permission can open doors to self-discovery, innovation, and a life lived on your own terms. How wonderful! – Creativity and Innovation – Your creativity thrives in an environment where you feel free to explore, experiment, and take risks. Waiting for permission can make you feel stuck and frustrated, not allowing your innovative ideas to flourish. When you break free from the need for approval, you move towards more creative thoughts, allowing fresh and original ideas to flourish. – Self-Validation – The pursuit of external validation can become a never-ending negative cycle, as seeking approval from others often leads to a constant need for reassurance. By not waiting for permission, you are choosing to be in power of your own destiny, relying on your intrinsic motivation and self-validation. This …

Dear February…

Publicerat av

… let’s be brave enough to speak up about the things important to us. ”It’s in the things that deeply inspires us that we find ourselves.” During the darkest of hours, a frost-kissed morning, my first screaming breath, with you. Cupid’s arrows, in the air they flew, as everyone below a starlit sky knew. Valentine’s whispers, sweet, dark and true, in February, love is set anew. Snowflakes fell, like delicate lace, covering our world in a soft embrace. Yet hints of spring began to appear, a promise of warmth, curiously near. Amidst the cold, a comfort profound, February’s wisdom, all around. February is for evolving, getting one year richer. One year wiser. Staying curious, and open-minded. Finding joy and laughter, everything we sought after. It’s about speaking up, being true to our own unique voices. It’s time to stop being afraid of getting older – it’s time to show our deepest appreciation instead. Becoming curious enough to want to know more about ourselves, and the ways in which we can expand. There’s much to discover …

How to embrace slow living in your everyday life

Publicerat av

”A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear.” The present moment – the only moment there is for us to be alive. Humans are very good at preparing to live, but not very good a living. Habitually dwelling in the past and dreaming of the future, while having difficulties concentrating the mind on the present moment. The concept of slow living has never been more relevant. As we navigate the fast-paced currents of 2024, the slow living movement urges us to pause, breathe, and savour the simple joys of life. Slow living is about creating time, space and energy for the things that matter most to us in life. It’s about taking the time to do things properly, and thereby enjoy them more. Allowing ourselves to be fully present. I think it was Socrates who said: ”The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” There are of course many mindsets one can incorporate in order to embrace a slower kind of …

How to Live in Alignment with the Seasons

Publicerat av

”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, …

What you focus on expands

Publicerat av

”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. 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. …
