Dare To Write Your Story So You Love It Yourself!

 

In Japanese, there is a term called Oubaitori that reminds one to not compare themselves to others. We each have a completely unique path. We have different goals with our lives while we live in different timelines. That makes our lives incomparable.

Dare to be bold and not compare yourself to those who have what you dream of, because in reality you don't really know what they have and if you would really like it, if it fell on your lap about this time tomorrow. Another thing, dare to be kind to yourself as the storyteller you are!

You are the storyteller of your own story. It is you who designs your story by telling it to you first. It is your story, so you decide. It is you who decides how it was, it is you who attaches every single meaning to every single situation that took place in your past. If you don't like the story, for God's sake, change it! Change it now! Don't pity party! Just change it! If something feels heavy and makes you unhappy, it is definitely not a true story, but somebody's point-of-view that you bought and still believe, even though it do not match with you. And since it don't, just let it fall, give it up and make yourself a new story. Shift the element, so that your story will make more sense to you. Be courageous and dare to look at your story from some new perspectives. Look at through the eyes of those who empower and inspire you, if you can't find a good perspective yourself. Change peak points and instead of focusing on gremlins, gather your focus on what has gone right. Tell your story that makes you feel like a radiant, powerful, wise and courageous traveler you are and nothing less. 

If you don't feel powerful, then it is because somewhere on the way you decided to give your power away by not honouring it or being afraid of having it.

If you don't feel beautiful, then it is because somewhere on the way you decided to give your beauty away by being afraid or worried, feeling ashamed or guilty. 

If you don't feel brilliant, then it is because somewhere on the way you decided to give your brilliance away by taking less space. 

But you are not here to be less, but to inspire, express and shine. It is time to take that power back and be honest and sincere, just as you expect from others. When you dare to be your everything apologetically, then you don't feel the need to criticize other for it either.  

You are like a mandala - one of a kind... 

Let us enjoy the beauty, magic and inspiration you bring to the world. 

The world is waiting to hear from you.

Sing louder, dance with greater swings, paint with wilder strokes, write with bolder words...

The Awareness of Making Difference. Gently, But Fiercely.

- Lao Tzu -

————————

We can be and do so much more when we switch from the mind to the heart, because it is our mind that convinces us that we stand alone while our heart lives in an endless togetherness & oneness.

Our mind has the need to protect and fight in order to survive while our heart believes in the strength of sharing knowledge, skills and resources, the strength of community.

The mind always looks for the differences and good reasons to build walls, while our heart constantly looks for what we all have in common in order to build on that.


Hence, please remember that you are energy just as your deeds, thoughts, words & emotions. Your vibe counts.


Your vibe shines (and creates!!) through the choices you make on a daily basis. The energy you put out in the world by being you affects the well-being of all of us and our Mother Earth.




𝒮𝑜 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝓂𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝒶 𝒹𝒾𝒻𝒻𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃𝒸𝑒!You can make a difference by living from love, because only then you can meet others in love.

• You can make a difference by living from kindness, because only then you can meet others with kindness.
• You can make a difference by living from peace, because only then you can meet others in peace.
• You can make a difference by choosing to focus on all the things good and empowering, because only then you create goodness and empowerment for those around you.

When it comes to self-care, it isn’t just about your positive habits. It is about taking the responsibility for the well-being of the entire planet by embodying each day the kind of vibe you want to live in here. That will be your legacy.

The Process of Recalibration

 

𝕀𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖, 𝕔𝕙𝕠𝕠𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒 𝕟𝕖𝕨 𝕕𝕚𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕤 𝕥𝕚𝕞𝕖.


The decision of choosing a new way is a bold one. When it is taken, you know that nothing will stay the same. There won’t be two stones in your pavement that will remain on top of each other in the way they were before. You will be built up anew.


When going into the process of change, at first it seems bad and then it seems really bad. (And in every once in a while, it might seem even a bit worse than that). You feel every single weakness and fear that exists within you. You feel little, helpless, confused and stuck. Fortunately, it is all in your head. Your mind has lost control over the changes taking place within you. All you truly need at this point is time to rest and reflect. You also need to be patient with yourself (,so please be patient and embrace the journey!)


In the process of change, you change the direction. It is only later on you realize that what you had seen as “bad” and “really bad” was actually the power of you stopping the old flow - your old way of being and (p)receiving - and turning it towards a new direction. It is a powerful, beautiful and magical move. Just as powerful, beautiful and magical as you are.


And it is only beginning...the beginning of a new awareness, a new journey. The best is yet to come, of course, because life is about continuously creating new personal bests. But in this moment, in the middle of the change, just hold on! Hold on, breathe deeply and keep in mind that change takes time, trust and willingness to surrender.

Your present mind has little to offer to the future you, so your intuition will be the one pulling you through here. It will give your mind all the tools & maps needed for it to understand the New you have chosen. Hence, have patience. Have patience because change is like a stretch - it feels hopeless in the beginning, uncomfortable in the middle and empowering when it is done.

The Art of All Things Meaningful

 

Áigi ii mana, dat boahtá.
your time is NOW.
On aeg..



When choosing things to give your energy to, choose the ones that have a special meaning for you. Choose the things that will make your life more sacred, because these are the things that will also make you feel, realize and cherish your own sacredness more. It’s important, because after all, you are a masterpiece never to be duplicated.


Feeling the sacredness of your everyday makes you more present, more grateful and more kind. It will also help you to remember that you are here for a purpose and that will keep you on schedule.


A schedule is a good thing. It makes you use your time wisely and more effectively. You’ll begin to use it more to create joy, peace, contentment and health within and around you. You’ll use it to create and strive to wholeness in yourself and to support others in building theirs. The only cure against feeling fragmented, isolated, hurt, afraid and lonely is wholeness. And it’s love and love only, that can make us whole.


When love is not present, disharmony kicks in. It takes place in the form of intolerance, hate, disease, unforgiveness, shame, fear, war and violence. We don’t need that, because it is a waste of time. It’s the waste of your time and my time. It’s the waste of our time together. It’s the waste of the time that we don’t have, because neither of us has planned hate, hurt or fear in our daily schedules.


We don’t do it, because we know we are here with a purpose. We each come with a mission. We have come to build upon our strengths and not to destroy with our weaknesses. We have come to build upon our strengths to heal our weaknesses. And lastly, we have come here for magic - to do magic, to experience magic, to create magic in each other’s lives.
Let’s begin from the simplest, yet the most powerful …love.

Hence, surround you with the meaningful.
Create the meaningful - for you, for those around you & for the planet.

Your time is now.
Be fearless.
Choose love.
On aeg...

Problem Is Not the Problem...

𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚖 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚖.

𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚖 𝚒𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚍𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚖.

- 𝙹𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚠 -

I see what I choose. It’s called “a point of view” and it depends on where I stand and how honest I am willing to be with myself.
It is a tough one, because it is not always so easy for one to be entirely sincere with themselves, especially in the midst of challenges. Yet I know and I try to remember that I always have a choice.


There is always just as many ways of thinking, feeling, acting, reacting as there are people. Or actually, even more than that, because every new minute gives you a chance to choose again. Anything. The choice is yours. Where all these choices come from?


There’s an archive deep within you where everything you have ever felt is stored. Human brain is a powerful machine. I am sure you have heard of it before, but do you truly realize HOW powerful your mind makes you? (Sometimes it freaks me to think that we’re born without receiving the usage manual for handling it.)


Your brain that is made up of about 100 billions of nerve cells which all together create trillions of nerve connections is processing ca 2 million bits of information per second. You are aware of only a tiny fraction of this data, as most of it happens automatically.


The secret behind the automacy is the ca 300 000 billion synaptic connections an adult’s brain contains. There is more than 100 000 chemical reactions taking place in your brain every single second while you are creating up to 20 000 new neural connections per day.


And even though you might think you are the one holding the steering wheel and being the captain of your ship, about 96% of your decisions are made at the unconscious level. About 95% of 12 000 - 60 000 thoughts an average person thinks per day are EXACTLY the same thoughts as they thought the day before and 80% of these thoughts are negative. YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK, YET YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE your thoughts, your feelings, your actions. Every minute you can choose again ...something new. Hence, think new, feel new, act new, be new..


So, the problem is never the problem. It is all in our head.

Be Bold And Take the Leap!

BE BOLD AND TAKE THE LEAP whenever you stand at the dawn of a change. It is the only way to meet the ultimate you. The you that you dream of becoming and can become if you only trust and allow yourself to flow gently through the process.
You are perfect just the way you are. Hence, your biggest mission is to take care of that perfection by constantly allowing yourself to leap out of your comfort zone and allow the update.


Virabhadrasana ll or Warrior ll pose reminds you exactly that - the power of the leap and standing in the eye of the change, celebrating, trusting, respecting and being aware of the future on your one hand and the past on the other hand.

It’s a power pose.
So be the power of your life! Fill the blank with courage! Take the leap!
There’s nobody else who could do it better for you than you yourself.

Change Is a Good Thing

 

My surroundings are the reflection of my inside.
Therefore, I am not defined.
I CAN change as I change my
point of view
direction
goals
aspirations
decisions
beliefs
and anchors..
And I do!
I do
with each breath I take,
with each lesson I go through,
with each hug,
with each smile,
with each great journey,
with each heartfelt conversation.


Change is a good thing. It reveals me the territories within me that I haven’t researched or even discovered yet.


Change reminds me that I’m not a still painting, finished and framed. Instead, I am a mystical living landscape that in every moment can remodel itself, if I only challenge it these questions:

𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒶𝓂 𝐼 𝑔𝑜𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝑜 𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓈𝑒 𝓃𝑒𝓍𝓉?

𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓀𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓈, 𝑒𝓂𝑜𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈, 𝒷𝑒𝓁𝒾𝑒𝒻𝓈, 𝒶𝒸𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝒸𝑜𝓃𝓉𝓇𝒾𝒷𝓊𝓉𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓂𝑒 𝓂𝑜𝓈𝓉?

𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒾𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐼 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓈𝑒 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓂𝑒 𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝓃𝑜𝓌?



This is a privilege. A beautiful one made of freedom to choose and peace to be. And it is a path I will always walk on.

Take Care of the Garden Within

The word “meditation” directly translated from sanskrit means “to cultivate oneself”. I love the fact that this meaning refers to us as gardens and to meditation as a tool to take care of it. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine this. How would your life look like if you saw yourself as a garden filled with thousands of species?


(After all, you are JUST a collection of millions of cells, molecules, atoms and thousands of miles of vessels composed together to this outrageously delicate and powerful symphony of wholeness called you.)

Your presence is needed daily. So is your love and care. In the moment you forget the colourful magical paradise within you, weeds sneak in - thoughts and emotions that might look random at first, but can mess up the harmony and balance in this beautiful and peaceful garden of yours.


Therefore, make sure that to take care of the magnificent species you have planted within you, you occasionally root out all the weeds. This way you maintain the peace.


Make sure you constantly plant the sort of plants that will help you to bring forth the best in you, to harness your superpowers. That will get your garden to bear the fruits that you have dreamed of growing. That will make your eyes and soul glow.


Hence, see what happens when you take time and meditate.

Note to Self:






Whenever you have not seen it, you’ve had the courage to notice it eventually.

Whenever you have been confused, you’ve searched until you’ve found the answer.

Whenever you have not dared, you’ve been troubled, but you’ve jumped anyway.

Whenever things haven’t gone as you’ve planned, you have got it your way eventually or something even better.

Whenever you have been hurt, you’ve always found the cure in the end and healed.


Whenever you have felt that the mountain ahead of you is too gigantic to climb over, you haven’t stopped believing in you and you have always found a way.


Therefore, whatever the situation is𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝓉𝑜𝑜 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓅𝒶𝓈𝓈.

Remember to enjoy the moment,

The Cocoon of Transformation

CHANGE is made of several stages and thousands of baby steps. The time you spend on dreaming of the jump is just as important as the jump itself. You HAVE TO dream - visualize, find out which muscles to use in order to make the jump as smooth and effective as possible. You have to acquaint yourself with the whole situation - the things that may or may not affect the quality of your action,and then prepare.


Having plan A, B, C and D is just as important as having TRUST. One soars on the moment one surrenders to their worst case scenario - lives it through in the head, becomes friends with it and accepts: “Yes, THAT TOO can happen and it is okay! But it is not here now, so shake it off!”


Finding that kind of balance requires dedication, discipline, awareness and self-love. Love grows when you make space for it by accepting everything you see as your “shadow side”.
Hence,
• Embrace your limiting thoughts and fears.
• Allow yourself the victim role and all the pity.
• Accept your fears.
• Embrace the worst case scenarios.
• Admit your scars and weaknesses.
• Accept and allow the frustration you feel.
• Allow yourself to think of your CAN’Ts & WON’Ts.
• Allow yourself to get angry with you.
• Allow the sadness if it is there.

Take time for all the emotions. Allow and accept them. THEN turn up the other side of the coin and:
• Dream of your goals.
• Do the things you love.
• Spend time with people who make you feel light and who inspire you.
• Have fun - laugh, dance and sing.
• Love


It’s all good. Both ups and downs are part of the process of changing. They both are helping you to grow and develop. Your frustration creates space for achievement and contentment, your fear makes space for acceptance and love. It’s only when you see the pieces of your past that you’re still holding onto, you can begin pruning away what keeps you from believing, receiving and achieving. So are you ready to jump in? READY - SET - GO!




May peace with you as you choose your next steps.
Have a beautiful inspiring new week!

En velsignet stund

 

~ 𝕍𝕖𝕝𝕤𝕚𝕘𝕟𝕖𝕥 𝕤𝕥𝕦𝕟𝕕 ~

I det øyeblikket
øynene dine fanger kjærlighet
i alt det du ser rundt deg.
Når
aksept,
stillhet og
de øyeblikkene der du smelter i ett
med Alt Det Som Finnes plutselig
blir til bekreftelser på kjærlighet,
har du ankommet et nytt land.

Du
puster
snakker
lytter
tenker
lever
annerledes fordi
ankeret ditt er plassert annerledes.

Små øyeblikk blir større
når du tør å være fullt tilstede -
når du står i det med begge føtter
og med et åpent hjerte. ♡
