As you might have noticed, I am in the middle of a move. It has been so hectic that I haven’t even had time to process what it might mean to me. At first I was deeply saddened, but right now I’m caught up in the rush of things, and I know that the weeks…

Work Well Done
Today I would like to talk about doing our work well. It might sound as a little bit of a rant, but I believe performing to a high standard goes well beyond a debilitating or enslaving corporate culture that intends to yield the maximum benefit while squeezing life force from its employees.

Everything you need is inside you
Some would say that having needs, and striving to satisfy those needs, is a primary motivation force for living beings.

The minimalist lifestyle has become increasingly popular in recent years.

What do you do with your pain?
Each person experiencies pain or hurt in a different way. What we collectively know as pain is one of the most subjective things there are. I sometimes think that we came up with this word to have some common ground, something to talk about or share, so that others could try to “understand” what we…
How to set boundaries (Part 2)
My previous post (here) dealt with boundaries and why they are important and necessary. I promised today we would talk a bit about what we can to to set said boundaries and protect them as necessary. To become aware of what boundaries you want to set, you need to be aware of who you are…
I am my priority.
I can imagine many people will cringe when they read this. How selfish. How ungrateful. But I will never be able to understand how looking after ourselves can be selfish. If anything, it is an essential requirement to be able to take care of others, right? To be well enough to give to other people?…
