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.

Moments with yourself

Publicerat av

”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, …

Publicerat av

Winter often receives a negative perception, with its shorter days, colder temperatures, and the stillness of nature. However, beneath this chilly façade, winter carries a special energy that invites us to reflect, grow, and renew ourselves.

Here’s how you can make the most of winter’s transformative energy. 1.

What challenges did you face? It’s okay to recognize both your triumphs and the moments where things …

Take a Step Back Today and Look at All the Beautiful Things You Have

Publicerat av

We seldom appreciate were we are. Instead, we’re often focused on what’s next: the next meeting, the next to-do, the next goal, the next challenge. While forward movement is both natural and necessary, it’s equally important to pause and appreciate where we already are, what we already accomplished. When was the last time you stopped, took everything in and savoured the moment? The beauty in simply being. The smell of fresh rain, the warmth of sunlight on your face, or the laughter of a loved one. These moments are fleeting, but they are powerful reminders that beauty is often found in the simplest things, in the stillness between it all. If you can’t even appreciate these little things how do you think you will ever appreciate the grander things? You will always be looking for more. Taking a step back to notice and appreciate these small details of life helps us realise that joy is always within reach. It reminds us that even on the hardest days, there’s something to be grateful for. Take a …

Allow Yourself to Shine Without the Desire to Be Seen

Publicerat av

In a world driven by visibility, where success is often measured in likes, views, and followers, it’s all too easy to become entangled in the yearning to be noticed. Social media and societal expectations gently steer us toward seeking approval, urging us to crave recognition for our accomplishments, talents, and even the smallest details of our daily mundane lives. Yet, there is profound strength in embracing your own light, in daring to shine without the need for applause, without the hunger to be seen. When you shine for yourself, you tap into the essence of who you are. It’s not about being recognised or seeking approval, but instead fulfilling your purpose and living in alignment with your own values, regardless of whether anyone else is watching. In fact, when the need to be seen is removed from the equation, you become free to pursue your passions and dreams from a place of genuine love and curiosity, rather than external expectations. Shining authentically means embracing your gifts and expressing them fully, not for recognition, but for …

The Power of Authenticity

Publicerat av

Embracing authenticity is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself and those around you. Authenticity is when you align your inner self—your values, beliefs, and emotions—with your outer actions and behaviors. It means living in a way that is true to who you are, rather than trying to fit into someone else’s idea of who you should be. When you are authentic, you are honest with yourself and others, and you make choices that reflect your true self. Authenticity – Your biggest strength People are naturally drawn to authenticity. When you are genuine, others can sense it. They know that what you say and do comes from a place of honesty and integrity. This builds trust, which is the foundation of any strong relationship—whether personal or professional. When you are authentic, you create space for others to be authentic as well, leading to deeper, more meaningful connections. What is more, being authentic is like stepping into freedom; accepting yourself fully —flaws and all. This self-acceptance is liberating. When you stop trying …
