long time no see 🥰 a little life update

A love letter & a thank you 💌

In this episode the academic in me has risen. Some insights through the lens of the "culture of immediacy" (Tomlinson, 2007) and how it influences our behaviour when we're striving for personal change. The hard way is the only way when we desire a solid foundation for our blessings. A reminder to stay gracious and patient with ourselves while striving to make this "new year, new me" a reality.

"Love is pain but we need this sh*t". A reminder to grant yourself space & grace while riding the rollercoaster of emotions that come with opening your heart up to the full spectrum of life. 🌦️

Cosy outside session for the end of this year. Wish you all a very beautiful start of 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣. May you find all you desire 💫

Trying to shift our focus away from the things out of our control, and draw it back to ourselves.

Rest assured, everything is already working out in the best way possible. You can take a step back and enjoy the things you have already achieved this year. The future is looking brighter than you may think. Allow yourself to go into hibernation and dream yourself into your next reality. Time to level up baby.

Trust. You're in good hands, even if it doesn't feel like it.

A calm meditative reflection.

I don't have the answers. But with every answer I seem to receive, many more questions arise. So what are we to expect? What are things or thought patterns we should be careful of? Can I even claim a person or is that selfish? Are my expectations too high? Or should I focus on my career in my 20's? Sometimes I feel like I'm not "perfect" or "healed" enough to be loved. But what toxic patterns and beliefs hide behind those thoughts? Let's talk about it 🍿

The journey towards our biggest dreams and desires is not always smooth sailing. It can be very disappointing, heart crushing and sometimes push us to give up on our efforts before seeing a way to get back going;

Navigating feeling insecure and fearful.

Reminder when dealing with rational fear. We are the keyholders.

It's not enjoyable to feel like we constantly have to run away from the way we feel on a daily. To avoid the emotions that we deem negative, we often unconsciously attach ourselves to factors outside of ourselves like media, substances, friendships and relationships to ease the pain caused by 'living' the everyday life. But how can we break that cycle and find balance in our life without having to go through the constant rollercoaster of extreme highs, to just crash equally as hard again...

When everything seems silent and nothing seems to happen externally, know that there is a lot of changes happening within you. Give yourself the space to heal and be patient with yourself. Life will change before you know it. Let's return to gratitude for the place that we're currently at.

Do you really love me? Or are just just in love with the idea of what we could be? In this episode I'm sharing my current point of view on friendship, relationships, dating and what the most important factors are for a healthy and lasting connection. A take on love, patience and respect, accompanied with a little storytime.

some loving reminders for our soul that can help us to get through hard times. ♥️

You knew better, but you didn’t do better. Disappointment and guilt are feelings that can always come back up when we feel like we failed ourselves. Today is a reminder to relax, allow yourself to feel your emotions and give yourself the time and space to grow and learn at your own pace. Nothing that is for you can be taken away from you. You’re always on time.

About following the path in life that will make us happy & the struggles that come with that. Especially when it comes to our family and their expectations of what our lives should look like. 

Sometimes, I get annoyed too. It's not always fun and games so let's not paint it that way.  A heart to heart conversation. 

Finding peace can be almost as hard as keeping it once we have found it.  It's up to us to decide if we choose peace or problems in a world that is constantly shifting between chaos and order. How can we reclaim our own power within the choices we make? Remember that you have controle over the direction of your life through the choices you're allowed to make day in, day out. 

I'm not okey. But I forgot that it was absolutely okey not to be. Sometimes trying to control our emotions just makes it harder for us to get through them. We're not perfect, we're not always going to be happy but this is a reminder that if you're in this place you have nothing to worry about. Congrats! You're human. Let's focus on accepting ourselves completely in our human form, which also means our imperfections and sometimes reoccurring negative emotions. You got this ❤️
