The choice

I wanted to write about this thing, or thought, I have been having lately. I always knew about it – the choice – however, I have had difficulties embracing it. And the past few weeks, the universe has shown signs reminding me to dare to believe I actually have a choice. But, I have been thinking it’s not that simple. That life is not simple. That we need to struggle, and work hard, in order to receive things. But what if, this entire time, I was wrong – maybe it can be simple? Maybe I can be happily satisfied with everything I already have, not constantly seeking more. So, what is the choice, I am referring to? It is the choice to choose. To choose happy, to choose love, to choose peace. To choose prosperity. Simply to choose, whatever you wish. Every morning when you wake up you have a choice. And no outer circumstance, or person can interfere with that choice. It is solely your choice to make. Each minute of the day you …

The Power of Small Shifts

This week I felt like I needed a change. Nothing major, just little shifts to bring some excitement into my usual routine. On Tuesday, I went for an early morning run before work; something I almost never do. Yesterday, I tried the opposite – a late evening run. And today, I booked a private flower arranging course. Hopefully I can already go this Saturday! In between, I’ve been playing with the details of my day: trying new foods, wearing my scarf in different ways, swapping negative thoughts for positive ones. And I realised; it really doesn’t take much to feel a difference. Sometimes it’s just choosing coconut milk instead of oat milk, or taking another route to work. I keep coming back to this idea of small, consistent behaviour. The parts of my life where I feel most grounded are the ones I nurture daily. Eating in a way that feels good for my body. Spending time outdoors. Moving—whether it’s a run, ballet or just twenty minutes of pilates. It doesn’t have to be anything …

A life worth living for

A life worth living for? Oh, you ask me? Well, there needs to be beauty. Whether it’s in the form of art, soft movement, a treasured book, a handsome face, a handwritten note, or the subtle signs of seasons changing. But wait, now when I think about it, maybe it’s more about the awareness of beauty. The other day while rushing home from work I all of a sudden noticed how beautifully green nature still is. Is it usually this green in mid-September, I wondered, while searching for deep yellows and reds, but there were none to be found. This year, nature is taking her time. Maybe there’s no need for me to rush either, I thought, and readjusted my steps. So, if you ask me about a life worth living for, I would begin with notice the beauty. I find there’s something gentle and comforting in beauty. There’s nothing shallow about the kind of beauty that makes you cry at a beautiful flower, or be in awe of the endless sky. I hear things, …

Finding contentment in everyday rituals

Routines can make everyday life feel automatic, making our days run on autopilot without us noticing. Tasks turn into chores, and to-do lists become boxes we check without thought. Somewhere along the way, we lose sight of the why. But what if we chose to treat these daily tasks as gentle rituals? Simple, grounding rituals that nurture our wellbeing—brewing a cup of coffee or tea early morning, strolling through the grocery aisles, journaling, enjoying an afternoon walk, or ending the day with a comforting shower. It’s the small, precious moments that shape our days. Days become weeks, weeks become months, months turn into years, and years shape a life. When practiced with intention, these daily rituals, create pockets of calm and help keep us grounded in the present moment. When we slow down, create quiet space and reconnect with ourselves we help our bodies and minds to re-center. And the best part, you do not need to make any drastic shifts; small pockets hear and there throughout the day can make wonders for your wellbeing. …

How to be a happier human

Let’s talk about happiness. Although, I prefer to call it contentment. While happiness is often just a fleeting moment, contentment feels more like a stable, lasting state—a mindset not affected by external events. So, how can we become more content or ”happier”? I like to see it as a choice. Every morning when we wake up, we have the power to decide how we want to feel. However, we sometimes give that power away, by letting others’ actions or external circumstances dictate our mood. We allow outside things to ruin our day, forgetting that we hold the control. Ultimately, it’s about taking responsibility for your mood. Realising that you’re the one in control also means that you need to take action; maybe you need to change things in your life that you’re not satisfied with, and that requires effort. So, it’s easier to stay in the comfort zone, and let things remain as they always have been. Breaking out of it and choosing a different mindset takes courage, but that’s where true growth and contentment …

The now is where it all arrives

Start the day in silence; let the quiet nudges guide you. The moment you embrace stillness, the answers begin to flow to you with greater ease. We are so used to doing, chasing, taking action, proving ourselves, but what if there’s another way? One that is gentler to the heart. More aligned. At peace. The art of allowing. Being and breathing. Open and connected to everything that is meant for you. You are magnetic to all that you desire. At first you will feel a bit uneasy, frustrated, maybe even lazy. When we invite more being into our lives, it can feel like we’re not achieving much. Especially if you are used to always being on the go, accomplishing one task after the other. In the rush to prove yourself to others, you forget to ask the most important question: ‘Do I even like this?’ Cherish the in-between moments, the spaciousness that is created when you allow yourself to just be. No external stimuli; just you, yourself and your breath. If you only knew the …

Soft habits to come back to yourself

At times, the outside world can make us feel a little uneasy, frustrated, or overwhelmed. Everywhere we turn, there’s noise, opinions and endless stimulation. There’s always something to react to, absorb, or be affected by—sometimes without us even realising it. And sure, all of this external input can be inspiring. It can spark ideas or fuel our creativity. But it can also become too much. There are moments when we don’t recognise the sound of our own voice, because it has been buried beneath the volume of everything coming from the outside. In those moments, it’s vital to take a step back and to reconnect with our own voice. To return to our own intuition. Most of the time, the answers we’re looking for aren’t out there—they’re within us. But to access that inner wisdom, we need space. We need peace. We need stillness. That’s where soft habits come in. These gentle, grounding rituals that can help us return to ourselves. Here are a few of my personal favorites—habits I come back to when I need to …

The unfolding

Part 2; ”I love who I am returning to.” This is not about becoming someone new, it’s about unfolding into who you always been. It’s about honoring every version of yourself that came before. It’s about finally being able to look at yourself – honestly – and say ”I love who I am remembering.” So, unfolding is not just about who you are growing into, it’s also about making peace with all the layers you clothed yourself with. Loving who you are returning to means accepting every version of you that was masking the real you – The uncertain one. The one who feared taking up space, the one who doubted, or did not yet know the innate worth resting inside. Growth does not mean hiding from, or escaping those parts, it means embracing and accepting them. Unfolding does not begin with striving toward the new. It starts with acceptance, and sometimes, it’s about surrender. Letting go of past identities or beliefs that no longer fit. Releasing old stories, and narratives that are holding you …

Allow yourself to blossom

Part 1; ”I am allowed to blossom.” ”You are allowed to take up space just by being you, by simply existing. ” Not striving, not performing , simply allowing. Blossoming not because you should, but because it’s in your nature. Observe nature right now, how she is stunningly herself, not asking for permission to bloom – she just is. You do not need to earn your worthiness. There’s nothing to prove, just a quiet, soft confidence, not loud or forced, but grounded in something ancient and true. Like a garden early summer – sun-warmed, lush, quietly alive. There’s nothing to hold back, nothing to be rushed, a simple reminder that your are unfolding. Allow yourself to move with the colorful flowers, the lush trees, the spellbound waters. Everything which you are a part of. Maybe you have dimmed parts of yourself. Maybe you softened your brightness so others wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. Maybe you stayed small in moments where you longed to express yourself. But all of this time there was this soft, gentle inner voice …

The moment in-between

The space most of us rush past. Ignore. Not the beginning. No the end.Just the middle. The pause.The moment in-between. It’s the quiet after all is done,but before the next flood of inspiration hits again.The space between one thing and the next.The refreshing exhale before something new begins. But we choose to fill it.With noise. With scrolling. With productivity.This constant urge to go go go. Stillness can feel like discomfort.Boredom can feel like ”I am boring”. Silence can be frightening. Empty. But what if you just started to listen? What if those in-between moments —are the places where you can finally hear yourself breathe? The pause where you feel your energy move through your body.The silent spaciousness where you rememberyou don’t have to become anything to already be worthy. This is not the absence of life.This is life. You are life. Unperformed. Unedited. Undistracted. Peaceful. What if you let yourself pause? Be in the slowness.Be in the quiet.Just be. Be. Stay in the now — even when it’s not exciting. Let yourself: There is wisdom in the pause, clarity …
