I am participating in @kasiaavery CareDecember Art Journaling project. This is day 2 prompt: THE HARBOUR On my 2022 visionboard there is a quote that says: I write to understand life. I have written for as long as I can remember. Journals, diary, poems, newsletters, letters, stories, books, workshop content, coaching programs. I ha e often combined it with art or collage. It's an out pour of what's in me. It's an intake of the world. Writi g gives it meaning, sense and purpose. I read a lot too [...]

Intentions

2022-12-31T12:34:11+02:00December 12th, 2022|

I am participating in @kasiaavery CareDecember Art Journaling project. I’m a bit behind on the days. But I don’t care 😂 This is day 1 prompt: INTENTIONS This past year my recurring intention is for slowing things down, creating space in my days, having pockets of time with nothing planned and doing things at my own pace. I made this collage of a woman in a flower dress, reading or getting inspiration, thinking about what to write or create in her journal and not letting hectic life get the bett [...]

How to talk about ‘uncomfortable’ subjects

We want or need to broach a 'delicate' or 'uncomfortable' subject with someone: with our partner about sex with a good friend about returning money to us with our boss about a raise ... and we chicken out, we postpone, procrastinate, pretend everything is fine and we don't need to talk about it, let the subject go around and around in our heads until it hurts. We're afraid of messing it up, of 'bringing' the subject in the wrong way, of getting emotional, of looking stupid [...]

16 happiness systems that have a positive effect on other people

2020-01-10T09:45:40+02:00January 10th, 2020|

Have you ever had an a-ha moment? You know, a moment when suddenly little bits and pieces of life fall together and make you realize something? I had one some years ago. I was at work, in a good mood, smiling. I felt like I was in a bubble; a positive, happy bubble that allowed me to work easily and get things done. I noticed that my mood, attitude and intention seemed to change the way things were happening and people were reacting around me. One colleague seemed particularly stressed and in a [...]

Why motivation is not the problem

2020-01-03T09:45:03+02:00January 3rd, 2020|

As a life coach, I often hear people say they lack motivation. They have the best goals: they want to live healthier, get organized at home or at work, start a new business or project. These goals are things they WANT. And you would say that if you want something really bad, it should be easy to get motivated right? Wrong. So why are we not motivated or driven enough to meet our goals? Are we not determined enough? Strong enough? The way I see it, motivation is like the sap of a tree: it keeps [...]
