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.

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 …

9 ways to turn your day around

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 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 …

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 …

The Power of Finding Your ”Why”

Publicerat av

It’s easy to get caught up in the ”what” and ”how” of our actions. We set goals, make plans, and follow routines without always pausing to consider the most vital aspect: our ”why.” Why do you do what you do? What is the driving force behind your actions and decisions? Finding your ”why” is like discovering the compass that guides you through the journey of life. It’s your innermost motivation, the purpose that moves you forward in challenging times and keeps you grounded during successful moments. A clear purpose Understanding your ”why” provides clarity in your purpose. It gives you a deeper insight into your passions, values, and beliefs, helping you align your actions with your innermost self. When you know why you do what you do, every decision becomes intentional, and every step takes you closer to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Motivation during Challenges Life is filled with setbacks and road bumps. And it’s during these challenging times that knowing your ”why” becomes a powerful source of motivation. Whether you’re facing a …

How to Master the Art of Manifestation

Publicerat av

What you send out into the universe – through your thoughts, feelings, words, actions – you attract into your life. Cultivating an abundant and positive mindset, visualization and intention-setting, are all great ways in order to start creating the life you want. It’s about shifting your focus, shifting your perspectives. It’s about being able to turn a negative day into a great day, simply because you choose to. Simply because you can. Nevertheless, it’s not enough to simply think, write or speak about the things you want in life, however, it’s a vital start. What is more, you have to believe, in order to receive. If you don’t believe in yourself and all that you’re capable of, nothing much will grow out of it. What is more, you’ll have to begin to take inspired action. You actually need to take that tiny frightening first step, not knowing where it will take you. Yes, manifestation is more than just wishful thinking; it involves aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions with your goals to bring about positive change. …

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.
