Somehow it happened that you found yourself closed within the four walls. Unable to go out, take a walk or find your friends. It is a scenario that nobody would have expected and it came suddenly and out of blue sky. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t use that time to your own advantage. Instead of sitting down bored…
There is a very distinctive characteristic on the adversities we meet every day. They trigger us to look out and compare our situation to others. What happens to our peers is our cornerstone of measurement for where we stand and what happens to us is inflicting a racing contest in fear we are left behind. Our whole lives is built in…
Another night out with friends. Another day in the job that you have to comply with rules, socialise with peers and be nice. Meetings, friends, notifications, digital or not, running constantly around you buzzing like a fly in your ear. The moment you are tempted to snooze out, boom! Another message on your phone. It’s the endless loop of dealing…
That wasn’t the first time trouble found you. It seems like problems and discomfort are chasing after you all while everybody else has a good time. Bad luck? Pure coincidence? You feel like a magnet pulling all bad scenarios towards you. Things that could go wrong did go downhill. Scenarios marked as edge case did find a way to materialise.…
The lover archetype exists in all of us. It is the energy inside us that finds beauty in every little thing, engages fully with whatever is in front of it, and is not afraid to go all in just for the sake of the experience. Touching things, playing with a cat, smelling a rose or sensing the fur in the…
There is a magical power in finding the right words. Gasping the process of things as they unfold and uncovering your feelings as they take place with sheer nonattachment and subjectivity. Most people let their inner world pass by unengaged, uncelebrated, unaccepted. They ignore their inner workings and leave emotions unprocessed in their bodies. Then they crumble inside them from…
It wasn’t long ago that I found myself waking up in the middle of the night trembling and shattering. Phobias got through into my life and stress got to be the common constant in my life. My brain stopped experiencing reality the way it was used to and there was a lack of cohesion in my thought patterns. Social encounters…
It’s not uncommon to fumble in a state of low energy and non-motivation where your progress stumbles in front of some unexpected barrier and gets blockaded by external forces. Sometimes these external forces are nothing else than our inner critic speaking to us as the amalgamation of all the early values and standards that got enforced to us throughout childhood by our…
It was a while back that I started reading the book “No more Mr nice guy” by Robert Glover, that the reality of our needs became radically obvious. Our needs are a strong force that shape our world view constantly and have an influence on how we experience reality at its core level. Glover described how men fall victim of…
It’s not uncommon for idealists to be seen us impractical people living outside the real world. They are viewed as incurable romantics, lacking common sense on how things work and many people would suspect idealism to be a reaction to a world they have little control. A reaction to the ever-changing motion of a chaotic environment. This kind of escapism…
