Don’t shoot the messenger
I’m sure we have all experienced some bad news being delivered to us and immediately an emotional reaction takes place and we lash out: “How can this be?!”, “This can’t be right!”, “What the h*ll are you saying?!”. We want to yell at the news-deliverer, let her/him know the depths of our fury, disapproval och […]

It is what it is
We humans like to think about things in good or bad, or right and wrong. To put things into categories so we can more easily understand and get some sort of control over things. If I think I know something, it becomes less threatening. If I think I master something, it becomes less threatening. But […]

Feeling hurt and what to do about it
Right now I’m feeling left out. Some friends of mine planned something and I didn’t get included. My name wasn’t mentioned when it came to set a time to get together, etc. It hurts, feeling left out, and that’s ok. Me denying that it hurts won’t make it less painful. Now, reading in to things […]

To change or not to change, or do we even have an option?
Yet another day passes where I hope I can just decide to change the way I am in hope to become someone who is more aligned with what I think would make my life easier and better: if I wasn’t so scared, if I was more spontaneous, less annoyed, less tired… the list goes on. […]

Practice, practice, practice…
…that is all that we can do. Practice to see what we and the world are really up to. Bearing witness and perhaps take action if necessary. Be kind. You are learning, it takes time, and the practice of life is just that – for life. Hang in there.

Two things are possible at once
Don’t assume that two things couldn’t be possible at once. Just because it looks difficult at onset doesn’t mean that there aren’t ways, perhaps not yet known to you, that could make things work. Don’t let fear run your life. Thank the fear for the challenge, join hands and walk towards bravery. Gassho.

Who are you?
Who do you consider yourself to be? Are you defined by your work, your role in your family or perhaps by your talents or interest? I am a psychologist, I am a mother, daughter, sister and wife. I like to paint and write and I make pretty kick-ass jam. But is this who I am? […]

Great faith
I fell into the trap once again. I fell into the trap of pleasing, being a good girl. I was hitting some sort of everyday streak with posts here for a little while on the blog and then I lost my flow. I got busy. I went on a week of meditation, I started to […]

Clash of titans
Yesterday I was visiting a place which played a big role in my life for some years. My old workplace. I have been on maternity leave for quite some time, it is more than 1,5 years now and with this break from work, so many things have changed for me. I have gotten married, I […]
