The Pause That Changes Everything

Publicerat av

As you plan for the year ahead and navigate daily life, there is one important thing to bare in mind – the power of the intentional pause. What do I mean with an intentional pause? It’s about taking a breather, that crucial pause when you reconnect with your body, and ask yourself; Is this in alignment with who I am? Is what I’m doing and feeling/thinking right now taking me closer to who I want to become? The more aware you are of yourself and your inner state, the easier it will be to make the right decisions. You see, when you are fully connected with your body, mind and spirit it won’t be as easy to fall astray. I am here now, in this moment. There is nowhere else I need to be. The intentional pause is about reassessing and readjusting if necessary, or simply about confirming; Yes I am right where I need to be right now. All is well. It’s not about judging yourself if or when you have fallen off track, …

Intentions for 2025

”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.

The Art of Allowing: Embracing Flow and Trust in Life

Publicerat av

That constant need for control… We meticulously plan, strategise, and problem-solve, all in an effort to make our lives easier and more effortless. While discipline and determination certainly have their place in your day-to-day life, please consider another, subtler skill that can transform the way you experience the world: the art of allowing. Allowing is not about passivity or throwing in the towel. Rather, it’s an active state of openness and trust. It’s the art of releasing resistance and making space for life to unfold naturally, without the constant need to be in control. By embracing the art of allowing, you align yourself with the flow of life rather than fighting against it. The Philosophy Behind Allowing At its core, allowing is rooted in the belief that life is inherently intelligent and interconnected. Whether you choose to frame it as faith in the universe, trust in divine timing, or simply confidence in the natural rhythms of existence, allowing asks you to believe that things will unfold as they’re meant to. This doesn’t mean that you …

Moments with yourself

”Don’t just look; see.” Sitting with oneself is much more than just being alone; it’s about being present with your thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment or distraction. This practice not only creates space for introspection and renewal, it’s a moment of calm. Don’t just look at the world; learn to see beyond what is apparent to the eye. There lies an immense wisdom in-between the words, the shapes, the stars. Oh, dear human, if you only knew everything you already are. How to Practice Sitting with Yourself Starting this practice of ”sitting with yourself” may feel uncomfortable, especially if you’re used to a constant stream of activity. But like any skill, it becomes easier and more rewarding with time. Here’s how to begin: 1. Start Small Set aside just five minutes a day to sit quietly. You don’t need any special equipment or a perfect setting — just a space where you can be undisturbed for a few minutes. 2. Focus on Your Breath Let your breath be your anchor. Pay attention to its …

The Power of Pausing

Publicerat av

”Relax. My darling, unwind. Be patient and stay alert. You’re coming home. To yourself.” We are often led to believe that constant movement, multitasking, and endless productivity are the only paths to a successful life. Yet, amidst all the noise, there’s a quiet truth that can lead to even greater success: the power of stillness. Embracing stillness doesn’t equal inaction or being lazy; it’s about taking inspired authentic action, and pausing, reflecting, and grounding yourself in the present moment. By incorporating stillness in your day-to-day life, you’ll gain not only clarity and calm but your mental strength and creativity will blossom while navigating life’s challenges. The Illusion of Constant Productivity If you’re like me, you probably equate busyness with progress. At least I thought that when I’m always ”on,” responding to emails immediately, eating lunch in front of the screen, and never taking a moment to breathe, that I will achieve more. But the reality is, which I’ve noticed, that constant activity doesn’t always equate to productivity. In fact, it leads to stress, decision fatigue, …

Ending the year on a positive, intentional note can give you a satisfying sense of closure and help lay the groundwork for a fresh start. Here are some ways to finish your year feeling grounded, accomplished, and ready for what’s to come. 1. Reflect on Your Accomplishments It’s easy to focus on all that we haven’t yet done, as well as the things that didn’t go as planned. However, take a moment to remember all that you’ve accomplished, all the highlights. Consider the moments you’re proud of, however big or small. Did you build new habits, break bad habits, nurture relationships, learn new skills, or take steps toward a goal? Writing down these wins can be empowering and can help you recognise just how much you actually have achieved. Tip: Make a list of three to five accomplishments that make you feel proud, and keep it somewhere you can see. They don’t have …

From Frustration to Fulfilment: A Guide to Trusting the Process

Publicerat av

”Learning to Trust the Process: Embracing Patience and Finding Joy in the Journey.” Why Is Patience So Hard? Why is it that most humans seem to believe that life is more about the end goal, than actually enjoying the ride, and the process towards achieving that end goal? That annoying frustration that occurs while waiting for results. Like the act of waiting in itself would produce tangible results – No, I’m afraid not. There needs to be a dance between taking inspired action and trusting the process. 9 months ago I decided that I wanted to start learning ballet, and what can I say; it has been a slow progress. Ballet is one of the most difficult skills to master, and here I am thinking that I should master it within a few months! A skill that requires a lifetime to master! However, then I come back to my senses, and tell myself that ”Linda you’re doing a great job just by showing up to class, and for learning something new as an adult, and …
