Unleash the Power of Your Creativity

Publicerat av

Creativity is an innate human ability that knows no bounds. It’s a force that propels us beyond the ordinary, sparking innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. In a world that thrives on constant change, fostering creativity has become not just a luxury but a necessity. ”Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.” – Pablo Picasso The Essence of Creativity At its core, creativity is the art of connecting dots that, at first, may seem unrelated. It’s about seeing the world through a different lens, finding inspiration in unexpected places, and daring to think beyond conventional boundaries. Whether you’re an artist, a scientist, or a business professional, tapping into your creative reservoir can unlock novel solutions and fresh, new perspectives. Embracing a Creative Mindset The journey towards unlocking creativity often begins with cultivating a creative mindset. This involves embracing curiosity, staying open to new ideas, and being unafraid of taking risks. Creativity flourishes in an environment where mistakes are viewed as stepping stones to innovation, rather than roadblocks. The Role of Passion and …

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.

How to set healthy boundaries

Publicerat av

In order to build your own personal and emotional space you need to know how to set and communicate healthy boundaries. It’s essential to establish and communicate personal boundaries for our mental and emotional wellbeing, and sometimes even our safety. But why can communicating boundaries be so darn difficult at times? And how do we set compassionate boundaries within our relationships? I believe it’s rather common to fall into a victim mindset once you realise you’ve put other people’s needs above your own. You start blaming yourself for not knowing better. However, this attitude won’t help you evolve. In other words, it can in fact be detrimental for your growth. Therefore, although easier said than done, try not to fall into a negative, victim mindset. Instead, recognize it as an opportunity to take your power back. The focus should be on learning and growing. Healthy boundaries – Compassion towards self. Why can setting and communicating boundaries be so challenging at times? There may be various reasons for this, and it depends of course on the person, or …

Discomfort – an opportunity for growth

Publicerat av

”You’re being presented with two choices; evolve or repeat.” In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety. Each time we’re faced with a challenge it’s very easy to become caught up in thoughts about everything that could go wrong, instead of being excited about everything that could go right. This mindset is to a certain extent completely natural, and our bodies and minds way of keeping us from danger, hence keeping us from stepping into the unknown. To fully embrace oneself, and to accept oneself exactly as one is, is a lifelong journey in and of itself. To some of us it might come naturally, without us even thinking about it. However, to others it takes a deeper kind of practice – something that needs to be nurtured daily. It’s difficult to not become caught up in the demands of the outside world; constantly comparing ourselves to others, or simply never being satisfied with who we are. As a highly sensitive empath I fell …

An open mind

Publicerat av

”The eyes are useless when the mind is blind.” How to master the art of observing life with an open mind? Where others see either black or white, to learn to see the rainbow? Life is a spectrum of moments, occurring one after the other. Anything can happen. And it’s impossible for us to know what might be hiding behind the corner. We’re allowed to change – in fact we should; change, and grow. In line with each and everyone of your breaths you are allowed to be. Exactly the one you were meant to be. Open your mind Don’t care to be right, care to understand. Don’t expect people to agree with everything you say, expect them to have their own view on things. Don’t impose your beliefs on others. Accept all of life’s perspectives and realities, in peace, without judgment. ”It’s the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle What it means is, you should learn to look at life with a bird’s …

8 ways to get into a creative flow

Publicerat av

It’s easy to lose sight of creativity when things don’t happen as quickly as hoped for. You might not see any results, something negative happen, or maybe you wake up one morning feeling unmotivated for no particular reason. In these situations it’s even more important that you hold on to trust, and try to see the moment for what it is – a moment to reflect, and recharge. Getting back into your groove again. One crucial thing to bear in mind when going through times feeling uninspired and unmotivated is to accept your feelings. Don’t take them too seriously, since they are temporarily, and you don’t need to invite them in for tea – keep the door open and let them pass. Don’t push yourself to feel a certain way, to be something you’re not. The lack of motivation is only a phase, and sometimes the only thing you can do is to breathe a little deeper, and take a step back. Even nature slows down during winter. And yes, this might make you feel …

Ten traits of successful humans

Publicerat av

”We rise by lifting others.” When nothing is certain, anything is possible. My personal opinion when it comes to success is that I believe successful people are those who are living their passion, following their dreams and pursuing their goals in life – even though, at times, the path might be uncertain. Even though the path is dark, their inner light will always guide them.  It’s rather common to talk about what we want in life; we write about it, and we dream about it. We might even visualize how we achieve our dreams and our goals. But for many of us, it all stops there. What traits do successful humans have, that the persons who is stuck in their dreams, and keep on being stuck in their dreams, do not have? Below you’ll find ten traits that I strongly believe will have a great impact whether one becomes successful or not. Nevertheless, success looks different for everyone. Therefore it’s of utmost importance that you define what success means to you. Focus on what you’re …

The utmost freedom

Publicerat av

”Maybe when humans stop running away from themselves, the world will become a kinder, more peaceful place.” At times freedom has little to do with the outside world, and circumstances. Man becomes free the moment he becomes free of thought. When he does not longer obsess over the constant chatter in his mind, but instead turns towards the heart. Freedom from compulsive thinking, desire, addiction, outside validation, constant approval. How does one become free of all that? One needs to stop. One needs to allow himself to slow down, to listen. When one is constantly bombarding himself with stimuli from outside sources it becomes nearly impossible to hear, or see anything. How is one able to listen to the whispers of the soul if one is continually caught up in the outside circus? How is it possible to become aware of the song of the heart when the sirens of the external environment is set on full volume? One does not typically feel comfortable sitting alone with one’s thoughts. To realise just how dysfunctional they …
