I am at a crossroads in my life at the moment. I need to decide between security and my own beliefs. The choice is simple: Do I look for a stable job or do I go ALL IN on my projects and myself? It’s a funny position to be in because there are so many mixed opinions and beliefs about what security means to people. Today I have had two conversations about the topic and through those conversations I have come to realise a few points: The only time we…

I want to go to sleep. Is that so bad?
It’s 10:30pm, it’s raining and the only thing that sounds good is my bed. I’m so tired that all I want to do is sleep. These feelings are conflicting. I got home from work at 8pm, cleaned a little bit, prepared dinner and ate with my husband. It was 9:45pm when we finished eating and afterwards it was time to clean. I just want to go to sleep. Work was not stressful, yet my mind is tired. There is a lot I still have not finished today such as my…
The 5 Second Rule

Education in humanity and in our ability to be “smart” in the way we treat each other and everything around us. Education should not be limited to subjects that we have no interest in learning. School should also stop being the place where the feelings of inadequacy are developed. A school should be a place where our future generations can sit…
The Quickest and Easiest Way to Happiness
Today I took a short spontaneous walk through the forest near my house. With Spotify playing my classical music playlist, I began walking while looking up at the sun smiling down at me. The forest has a bare look from the fallen leaves of Winter and the birds are more visible than ever. The spontaneous walk was inspired by a surge of overwhelming gratitude that came over me as I sat in the tram on my way home. The last months have been a special time in my life because I have…
Exercise Really Does Make You Happy. My 3 Favourite Home 20 Minute Workouts.
So, the last couple of days have been a little rough on my emotional spirits. In terms of Eckhart Tolle, my Pain-Body awakened and was really hungry for pain and sadness. Do you ever have those days? Where all you can remember are painful memories? It is definitely not fun or enjoyable. The good thing about sadness is that it inspires reflection on our lives and the current state of our thoughts and emotions which can be a powerful tool to grow. I find that moving our bodies really does make…
