The Quiet Power of Consistency
I recently listened to a podcast by Rob Dial that reminded me of something both simple and deeply powerful: consistency beats talent – every single time. Not because talent isn’t valuable, but because consistency is what builds trust. Especially trust with ourselves. Rob described consistency as making one small promise to yourself – and keeping…

Living Beyond the Count of Years
Last week, I discovered Alex Honnold for the first time while watching Skyscraper, where he climbs the Taipei 101. What struck me immediately wasn’t the danger – it was the calm. His movements were slow and precise, and his face carried an unmistakable sense of joy, almost bliss, as he moved upward. There was no…

Why Your State of Mind Comes First
So many people feel stuck not because they don’t know what to do, but because of the state of mind they’re in when they try to do it.“I can’t lose weight.”“I’m not good enough for that job.”“I’m bad at relationships.” These aren’t facts – they’re stories we repeat until they feel true. I recently listened…

What have we here?
So often in life, we measure our days against what we wish were happening.Better timing. Better conditions. More clarity. More certainty. And when reality doesn’t match the plan, frustration quietly settles in. I recently listened to a conversation between Matt Hussey and Oliver Burkeman that offered a simple but powerful reframe. Matt compared life to…

What’s the chance…
Many of us hesitate to ask for help.We worry about bothering others, hearing no, or feeling like we’re asking for too much. So we stay silent, struggle through, or phrase our requests in a way that feels heavy or apologetic. But there’s a surprisingly simple shift that can change everything. Instead of asking from a…

Fatigue explained
When we feel tired, we usually blame the obvious things: poor sleep, bad nutrition, not enough movement. And yes — those matter. But sometimes, even when we “do everything right,” the exhaustion stays. That’s because fatigue isn’t only physical. Very often, it’s invisible. One of the biggest hidden drains is mental fatigue. The average person…
Grateful People are Happy People

Amazing reminder to be grateful
Today I saw this beautiful short on YouTube and I had to share it right away – such a powerful message to see in moments when we forget to treasure what we have, when we feel entitled for more, when we forget that we have today what we dreamed of yesterday. Take 22 seconds to…

Reverse Gratitude
Finding it hard to think of something you are grateful for? Try reverse gratitude – imagine you lose something you value very much (like your bed, your house, your morning coffee, the forest near your house, which you take for granted or even a person you love). Close your eyes for a moment and then…

“Happiness is…
…letting go of what you assume your life is supposed to be like right now, and sincerely appreciating it for everything that it is. So relax! You are enough. You have enough. You do enough. Breathe deep… let go and just live right now in this moment.” This is probably my favorite definition of happiness….

Forgive Yourself, So You Can Move Forward
I recently listened to a podcast by Rob Dial about forgiveness – especially self-forgiveness – and it helped me understand something that many of us quietly struggle with: the difference between guilt and shame. Guilt is healthy and a very helpful human feeling that tells us, “I didn’t act in line with my values.”It nudges…

Close the Day Before You Go to Sleep
Many of us go to bed physically tired, but mentally wide awake.Our body is ready to rest, yet our mind keeps replaying unfinished tasks, reminders, and silent to-do lists. We fall asleep carrying the weight of the day – and often wake up already feeling behind. I recently heard Lewis Howes speak about the importance…

A Better Question to Ask
We often ask ourselves a heavy question when it comes to relationships:Will this person make me happy? I recently listened to a conversation between Matt Hussey and Oliver Burkeman, and the answer to that question surprised me — in the best way. Oliver suggested that “Will they make me happy?” might actually be the wrong…

Pause, Then Choose
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ― Viktor E. Frankl That small space before we react is where self-awareness lives. When we learn to pause instead of rushing to defend or fix, we give…
