Walks can seem insignificant. As an exercise, they don’t seem tough enough. As way to get out of the house, they may not appear adventurous enough. And they may sound boring and time-consuming. Yet I have found that there is magic in walking. A few quiet minutes away from our tasks and alone with ourselves can bring answers, ideas and balance. A walk may be just what we need when everything else seems to much.
Lunar New is a holiday celebrated by millions and this year is the year of the rat. Its a special year of new beginnings and special opportunities. Let yourself be inspired by this ancient tradition, which I summarize in this episode, and go after your goals and dreams knowing you are set up for success this year.
Sometimes we don’t feel worthy in certain areas of our life. This often means that there is a gap between what we want and what we are getting. This is a sign that we need to take action and speak up. Worthiness doesn’t come magically by telling ourselves we deserve it. We actually have to do something about it.
When you find people that have the same aspirations as you, your chance of reaching your goals and dreams is much higher than attempting it alone. Often our close friends are not the ones that support us with our wild ideas. We have to make the bold move and go out there and meet those people.
When life doesn’t go the way we hoped, we often struggle adapting. I have been playing with a technique that looks at the worst case scenario first. And I have found, that the worst option is a) not as bad as we think, and b) rarely happens.
Have you ever been told that you’re wasting someone’s time? I bet this was tough. Here are a few thoughts on this idea, which is only a mechanism to shift blame. We all are responsible for our time and cannot expect others to make it worth it.
The secret to success is not really a secret. Its quite obvious, but sometimes we don’t see it because we don’t want to. Thats when we start searching for miracles in the most complicated places, while the answer, the secret, is right in front of us. Tune in to this episode to find out what the secret to success is 😉
My relationship with my mom has always been a little bumpy, and even though now that we are both older we are getting along better, there is still quite some distance between us. However, after reflecting on her visit here in California, I have realized that I have a lot to be grateful for. And I want to inspire you to also look not just for the things that bother you with your close relatives, but try to see where some of those exact things may have actually been a driver for something positive in your life.
My time with my mom was often stressful and left me very little time for myself. But after she left, I reflected and realized that she taught me some very important lessons on how to be a better person. I will add these as goals for 2020 and I believe you can benefit from them as well.
My mom visited from Germany over Christmas. It was a time completely consumed with activities and now that she is gone I am reflecting on it. Time with mom was time I wanted, but at the same time it was time I didn’t have for myself. We all go through periods where we give up our time for others. In reflecting on it, I want to share a few insights on coming to terms with such a time and embracing it.
Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.
Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.
