I want spacious & full.

I want to live a creative life, one where I follow my inspiration and fill my days with things that matter to me. I want to spend my time intentionally and not waste it numbing out with TV and snacks because I’m exhausted by the pressure I put on myself. I want to knit, cook, dance, […]

Procrastination-Compassion for when you just can’t get yourself to do it.

Dear ambitious you, I know you have a lot of things you want to do. There are projects at work, projects with your craft and there’s always that inkling that you’d like to exercise more, too. If someone gave you a free day you’d quickly know what to fill it with – the beautiful things […]

Everything you want to be is a habit

I’ve had this thought recently how every big change, any big vision we have for the person we want to be is really all about building habits. So for example, if I want to be a strong, fit person, then I need to work out in some form regularly. I would argue that you can pull out […]

when you can’t make changes fast enough

I used to feel this glaring gap between where I was and where I wanted to be with my life. When we discover the self-improvement track, I guess we all start out with some sort of vision board and a determination to “create your ideal life”. All over sudden you realize that you really do have a choice as to what […]

…and then I almost didn’t do it.

Last week I had an exciting thought: I wanted to write every day this week and post about it on Instagram, to celebrate my new Creative Habits program -and get my feet wet writing again. The intention was set and I couldn’t wait for the new week to begin. Today is Monday and I had things […]

The cycles of productivity

There’s this belief going round that productivity is something you have to hack yourself into, and once you get it right, you’ll be able to get shit done forever more. It’s just a matter of being disciplined, working hard and finding the right productivity system. Right? Wrong. Why? Because you’re human and us humans, we […]

On the importance of carrot cake

My friend and I were sitting in the sun, munching on our salads. We hadn’t seen each other in a while so it was time for a big update. Between laughter and paprika bites I shared what life was like for me at the moment. I talked about my business going well and how cool […]

I’m on a shopping ban and haven’t bought anything in two weeks

I realize that does sound kind of extreme, doesn’t it? Well, I first read about the idea of doing a self-imposed shopping ban over at Blonde on a Budget. She hasn’t bought anything except groceries, toiletries (only when they run out) and things like toilet paper in over a year. Isn’t that fascinating? I’ve been […]

Self-discovery is like collecting breadcrumbs

If you are unsure about your path in life, consider collecting breadcrumbs Hänsel & Gretel style. This is an analogy I often use with clients. Imagine you are on a path where you discover things about yourself. Each time you do, it comes in the form of a breadcrumb. The breadcrumbs lead the way to […]
