The Art of Patience: Embracing Mindfulness Meditation for Healing
For over two months now, I have been fighting off various infections. They are not serious enough to completely bring me down, but they are sufficiently annoying to slow me down. This is not something my type-A personality likes. This is something that my action-oriented mind truly despises. It is a sign of our times;…

Spring Clean
For many people springtime is the most welcome and favourite time of the year. The new life sprouts all around us. Flowers are blooming. Fresh green leaves appear on tree branches and the air warms up. We can almost imagine the long summer evenings and pack those bulky winter clothes jackets and coats away. We…

Our wish to be thinner…
For many of us, the wish to be smaller starts early on in our lives as we internalize diet culture’s messages that link thinness to worthiness. It is not the only wish we have of course. We wish to be rich. We wish to be curvy or sexy or muscular, all depending on our gender…

Rest & Digest 😋
Have you ever asked yourself why it is sometimes so difficult to take time to rest? I have noticed my inability to take breaks and rest properly a long time ago – probably around the time I moved to Denmark. Having spent most of my work life up to that point in the US and…

Be 1% Better (To Yourself) 😉
Whether you like this incremental improvement concept or not, the reality is, that regardless of the success area, most big successes are achieved in small, even tiny steps. We are often told that we can achieve anything by sticking to this 1% improvement rule. Here lies a logical error – just because some great things…
