Another year has gone by and whatever anyone of us has gone through it for sure has challenged many of us. If you are amongst those that has endured hardship during this year, I can say that you need a good rest and luxury time.
 
Many of my friends talk about how they feel run down and weary without any reason for it to be so. I think that we all can relate since mankind is subjected to something that we never have been witnessing before.
How do we enter another year of uncertainty? I guess the most supportive answer is to decide how you approach whatever comes at you. Make sure you choose wisely to what you are listening to, who accompanying you on your journey of life. Pay attention to whom you are at friendship with and make sure that they have a positive outlook on life, because it is all about energies that will determine how you end up feeling.

ACTIVATING MY CHEMICALS

My New Year’s resolution this year is all about ACTIVATING MY CHEMICALS and being CREATIVE.
If you have knowledge about your chemicals it is easier to forging the path ahead, so let me contribute by giving you the scope of how you can active yours:
 
DOPAMINE ~ the reward chemical

• Complete a task
  
• Doing self care activities
  
• Eating some food
• Celebrating your little wins
  

 
OXYTOCIN ~ the love hormones

• Playing with dog/cat
• Playing with a baby
• Holding hands
• Hugging someone
• Giving someone else a compliment

 
SEROTONIN ~ the mood stabilizer

• Meditating
• Running
  
• Be in the sun
• Walk in nature
• Swimming

 
ENDORPHIN ~ the pain relief

• Laughing exercises
• Essential Oils
• Eating dark chocolate
  
• Running

 
 
You could design a program that makes sure that you activate all of these chemicals every day and soon you will find yourself at a much better space than before. Most of all be kind and loving to yourself with much patience since everything that we think we have to achieve already is ~ you are here…………..nothing else needs to happen!

BEGINNING OF A NEW YEAR!
It has started, our new year of perhaps expectations and planning. I have however made a pause to reconcile and adjust to what lies ahead.

It could had looked different if I had jump started this year with a head full of just to do’s and accomplishments, but I decided to reverse it all to benefit me later.

I have spent some time after the Bells rang, wishing us a great New Year, with sorting out, cleaning stuff and changing what is not beneficial anymore.
To begin with a clean slate is often a good way to start something, dishing out what is not compatible anymore and looking for things that will support me in my new endeavor, so I did!

Are you on the path too? Have you done your cleaning out before committing to something new?
Well, for this part of the journey to become more free to create there are some good stuff that can take you further by doing them before you prepare for your journey.

5 TIPS TO MAKE YOUR NEW YEAR START OUT FRESH.

❤︎    CLOSE ENVIRONMENT
Start by looking at your close environment and decide what is distracting you and feels like it creates an obstacle from your creative process. Decide if you still need to have it around you and if it fits where you are at the moment. If it doesn’t fit your expression and the way you feel just get rid of it!

❤︎   SOCIAL MEDIA
Making a stretch out of Social Media is to get focused. For this to work you need to let go of all those distractive Apps that you don’t use anymore. I have downloaded Apps that for some reason didn’t hit the ground with me and so it sits there whenever I open the phone and TAKES UP SPACE. Let’s be real – it is not fun to have your screen full of useless Apps that distracts you from where you want to be in 6 months or so. Be ruthless, be hard, be truthful. The Apps that are wasting your time, annoying you, makes you upset, doesn’t work, crashes – ditch them right away and save the ones that makes you have success in whatever you are doing, and off course saves you time doing what you are doing.

❤︎    DESKTOP
If you are like me VISUAL, you know the languages of images and drawings and how it works out so well for you to work and be creative. Well the tendencies are to gather a lot of them for future work or inspiration. They tend to get outdated, a memory of the past, a good to have image when you are going to make xxxxxx. Can you hear this? It is all about the past and it will soon trap you not to make a leap into the present with what can be considered NEW, clean, newborn etc. Set aside time to clean your desktop from ALL your saved projects and images and begin anew.
I made this process fun by choosing a new DESKTOP image as a sign and inspiration that I have started clean and new for this year, and by the way I chose some of my own images taken a winters day with FROZEN CRYSTALS everywhere a truly beautiful day.

❤︎    IMAGES
Well that is a great subject. If you are like me then you have your phone loaded with images from all kinds of places, projects, meetings beautiful things that you saw etc.
It goes like this, you take a picture CLICK and save it on your phone, then you take another picture CLICK and after some time you could have ended up with thousands of images.
Tell me honestly, how often do you scroll and look through all of those images? Nae – didn’t think so, but they also take up space in your phones MEMORY. Did you hear that? MEMORY. This is something that you don’t want to weight you down. For this to work you can make a security copy on your computer for later use and processing. After that is done you can now go into your phone and delete all the images that are not required anymore. Just by doing this you have created more space for being creative, perhaps shoot a new video, take a new picture etc. And not the least it feels good not to be cluttered with old images

❤︎    STUDIO SPACE
After some great projects last year and sales until the very end, the time for Christmas and New Year with family and friends nocked on the door. A lot of things piled up in the studio and the time for rest was laid upon its energies. Can you remember how it feels when the studio has been on its own for some time? An empty and dull feeling subsides in it and the moment you enter it really speaks out lout TAKE CARE OF ME!
I think you can guess what I’m going to say……..Just CLEAN out the studio! Throw away rubbish, pull out your cleaning gears and do the job and when it’s done make sure to lighten a incense to clear the energies in its entirety.
Now you can start to work again, with new and fresh eyes!

There is nothing better than releasing your new born babies to be seen by the world! Theres actually nothing like it, because, as any other artist will tell you, it is a release from the hours that has stand between you and the outer world since you first began your project. I made a very short video during this event to give you a glimpse of what it looked like.

This artwork is called CONNECTED ~ INTERSTELLAR and it is all about being connected to one and another, as a matter of fact it translates to CONNECTED ~ BETWEEN THE STARS.
As of this time we could benefit enormous by being aware that we can seem to be divided but at truth we are more connected than we know. So this is my contribution, as a start, to this notion.

When you purcase a piece of this artwork you will be connected to 2 or more people that has purchased the neighbour piece. So everyone who collects these pieces are suggested to upload and image of themselves holding the artwork and it's number and give the location where there at on Instagram. This will give each and every collector a face and a greater feeling of being connected through the artwork itself.

Are you on top of things? Have you started out right since the new year began? Just to make sure you don't beat yourself up, I just wanted to say that my start went off quite slow. However I decided not to get into that nagging feeling of being thrown off the wagon so after a few inspiring youtube videos I took a strong start in the studio and now at this moment finished off two paintings - so actually when it comes to feeling behind I cannot give you any more valuable advice than just get in there, no matter what and just focus yourself on whatever tiny little thing that you can make. Soon the workingspace will feel warm and you will have a result at the end of the session.

The creative life should be fun don't you think? I know that I do and knowing that, and still finding the daily creative work being challenging and finding that we still get stuck from time to time I have started to making my way around that issue.

THIS IS WHY I have started to teach others on how to gently pass through that passage with joy and stillness at the same time. In a process that is both meditative and concrete it will take less than 2 days for the participants on the journey on becoming more free and feeling confident about their own creative expression.

IS THIS SOMETHING FOR YOU TOO?
Would you like to feel more intuned in your art practice? Well this might be something for you too!

Why do we struggle thinking we can't create whatever we want to create? Many times it is due to lack of perspective or even perhaps more likely, we have adpoted a sense of NOT BEING WORTHY the best things in the world. If I want change in my life, I really don't have to struggle making that change happen. What I do need to to is to get out of my own way of how I think it should come to fruition.

One of my closest friend called me up and had some challenges getting her son into a Montessori school. As a matter of fact, she had previously been turned down by 2 schools already and she was thinking that her options had run out. She was about to leave her ambitions all together before I asked her to just stop for a minute.  One of the greater challenges being faced with a NON WANTED situation is actually OUR SELVES. Because we think in a wired manner, from previous experiences and programming from our surroundings, we have a hard time to extend our thinking and expanding further for a non expected result.
So i COACHED my friend  to take another perspective, allowing herself to look upon different posibillities at hand. In our conversation we turned and questioned beleifs and images for a greater and more allowing scenario to emerge. Before we hung up the phone, it was obvious that she should let UNIVERSE OPEN UP THE FLOW and allowing her to RECEIVE what ever the UNIVERSE had in store for her.
AFTER 2 HOURS she called me up telling me everything was now settled - she had come in contact with a school that welcomed her and her son expecting them to arrive within 2 weeks from now! Did I mention that she also had to move to a new city!

So 2 HOURS AFTER our coaching call, she had MANIFESTED A NEW SITUATION IN HER LIFE!
A change in your life could be 2 HOURS AWAY - Is it GOOD do you think? I do, so how many hours are you from MANIFESTING WHAT YOU WANT in your life? Perhaps you want to be your own HERO, if so, here's a take on you BEING YOUR OWN HERO in one of my articles, have a good read😊

Share a GREAT MANIFESTATION OF YOURS down below or SHARE this article with someone you think would appreciate it!

As always - I give of all my JOY AND APPRECIATION TO YOU!

Christmas Holidays are over, the New Year has begun and everyone has made their lists on achievements waiting to be made this year. You prepare – put in the gear and make yourself ready to push the gas pedal ………..BUT WAIT! Just read this article before you do.

In all due respect, I ask you to take into consideration how we are told to start off the year with LOADS OF ACTION and why it is a MYTH!  Because the WINTER is still here, with all its attributes of snow, ice, cold, stillness and darker days, aspects and attributes around us that we are all truly affected by whether we believe it or not.  

It is NOT the time to put your foot on the gas pedal right now; if you do you might suffer in great amount during months ahead.

WINTER ∼ THE SEASON OF HIBERNATION AND CARE


It is time to REST – and make sure that you live by the BEAR TRUTH – that is, to not take further steps outside your nest until the snow has gone and you can start to notice the green leaves outside. 

When AUTUMN comes to town we are all reminded that another capture of our lived year is knocking on our door, leaving nothing behind to muster and gather as we let our work take us another step on our way. 

If you have been following me you will know that I often take into consideration the FLOW of nature in my work. The most obvious reason for that is that nothing can be more guiding and leading our way as nature. When fall comes all the leaves are shrinking and passing away….they leave us with a dry feeling and so we too enter into the dryness. You might have felt it, everything of your outer aspect dries and urges you to drink more water and protect yourself from AUTUMN WIND that is lurking around the corner. This state will for sure effect your work since all aspects of your being is now in the drying season ∼ so let me just remind you of what might be going on on a more obvious level

• YOU HAVE PROBLEM SLEEPING
  
• YOUR JOINTS ARE NOT FOLLOWING YOU THE WAY YOU'D LIKE
• YOU HAVE VIVID DREAMS OR VISIONS
• YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHALLENGE FOLLOWING THROUGH
• IT TAKES LONGER FOR YOU TO COME INTO A CALM FEELING
• YOU ARE EASILY TAKEN OUT OF YOUR FOCUS

Well - these are a few of the signs that AUTUMN might take a toll on you and that you are not taking care of yourself on a personal level. NOW is the time to be nice to yourself and to start preparing for the winter that will be the next passage. I have WRITTEN another article ∼ LET THE ELEMENTS GUIDE YOUR WORK ∼ AUTUMN on how to prepare yourself on a work level ∼ gathering all the years work in a few simple steps that will enhance your next coming year ∼
I DO HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY IT AND………………….FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR JUST GIVE A COMMENT BELOW ❤ WHAT A PLEASURE ;-)

If you have been missing out on the latest constellation of STARS AND PLANETS – you might find these advice useful or perhaps it will make you more aware of influences in our lives?

Did you miss out on MERCURY’s planetary position during the last weeks? A hint for you might be that all of your communication might have gone BEZERK! Perhaps you felt like just throwing out your printer or computer right out of the window – moaning about why everything seemed to go wrong every time you tried to print something or why the computer seemed to have a process going on all the time so that nothing could be done, and you just had 30 minutes to finish off that last report?

So when MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE it challenges you to be highly precautious about your communication – of all sorts!

This includes:

❤ Verbal Communication
❤ Transport
❤ Electronic Communication 
❤ Agreements
❤ Physical Communication

To avoid getting into the trap of MERCURY RETROGRADE it is best to have an attitude on “non-reaction” to whatever situation that unfolds. Take your time, rest within yourself and put a “HOLD ON” any decision that needs your active involvement (that is IF you can), since every decision that is not fully grounded will likely be something that you will have to come back to again and re-do, why it is more fruitful to wait and DO IT RIGHT the first time.

Is your path laid out? Yes in many ways you could say so. Therefore one could argue that an opportunity never could be missed, if then - what would be your next step?

Everything is set for your own creation, all the pieces are present, the people you are supposed to meet, the right circumstances, the opening of all pieces to come together, the WINDOW is wide open - and YOU HESITATE - it seems like it is too good to be true- and you decide to ask someone for advice. THIS IS YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE!

Like a PHOTOGRAPHER – when he/she looks through the lens, waiting for the window of opportunity, to be able to catch the right light, the air vibration of swirling particles and the moment when all aspects are in the perfect moment for a shot. This WINDOW will not come back again and it will haunt you if you don’t catch it, because in the minute you just turn your back to go and get something ∼ THE MOMENT IS LOST – GONE!

WHY WAITING AND THINKING ABOUT AN OPENING AND OPTION WILL MAKE YOU FORGET YOUR TRUE INSPIRATION!

Since no one ever could know your truth, your longings, a passion you have or your path, no person could give you their advice. Often when we ask someone else for advice in crucial times we end up with nothing that is ours. If we do listen to someone else's opinion on our quest and path, we usually end up with nothing.

Let me explain -
You made up your life with all its attributes. There is always a knowing of what you should have the greatest joy from- this is because your soul is guiding you in the right direction.
So every day you create your next experience with the guidance of what it is you are supposed to do or experience in life.
No one else could tell you if an opportunity that comes in your way is right for you or not, this is why I made this LIST on REASONS why you SHOULD NOT ask someone else for advice.

Christmas Holidays are over, the New Year has begun and everyone has made their lists on achievements waiting to be made this year. You prepare – put in the gear and make yourself ready to push the gas pedal ………..BUT WAIT! Just read this article before you do.

In all due respect, I ask you to take into consideration how we are told to start off the year with LOADS OF ACTION and why it is a MYTH!  Because the WINTER is still here, with all its attributes of snow, ice, cold, stillness and darker days, aspects and attributes around us that we are all truly affected by whether we believe it or not.  

It is NOT the time to put your foot on the gas pedal right now; if you do you might suffer in great amount during months ahead.

WINTER ∼ THE SEASON OF HIBERNATION AND CARE


It is time to REST – and make sure that you live by the BEAR TRUTH – that is, to not take further steps outside your nest until the snow has gone and you can start to notice the green leaves outside. 

Do you recognize when you’ve had enough of useless tasks and demeanor?

Well – let’s talk about what makes this experience so much more of a guide than what we give it credit for.

To reach the state of HAD ENOUGH, you must have discredited your own guidance. Your inner guidance is always present but during times when we most need it, it seems like it’s not there.
It’s there all right, but the NOISE that we surround ourselves with takes over and we are lost in its overwhelming soup. The more you are trying to figure it out – it doesn’t allow you to, because the approach is wrong.

It cannot be figured out – instead the most effective way is to LET GO!

If you try to figure out the NOISE, it’s like trying to understand why the SUN is moving in its orbits – it’s useless – it will take you nowhere.


SPENDING TIME ALONE ∼ A DELIGHT FOR THE SOUL.

So – instead of being STRESSED OUT – THROW OFF YOUR SHOES – CHILL – and take some TIME ALONE, to reduce all outside stimuli – this will take you onto another path of energy.

After being there for a while you will come to the stage when it is SILENT and you come to the conclusion that YOU HAVE FIGURED IT OUT.
It sure feels like a relief at the time but I hate to tell you……IT IS NOT TRUE!
It is usually a self-defeating moment that calls for more silence and another round of being alone- STICK IT OUT and don’t give in for the EGO.
If you are being persistent in this passage you will gain so much more.

To come to the energy part of NO-THING, demands willingness and after that comes a passage of being humble which later on is transformed into being NEW.
A-NEW – the cup is empty and it gives room for something to be newborn, this is closely connected to the “DAO” which holds all of the knowing about your path, rest assured that your moment of ALONE TIME will pay back in a MASSIVE way.

HOW TO BUST YOUR FEELING OF  “HAD ENOUGH” WITH THIS 7 STEP FORMULA

KICK OFF YOUR SHOES and do the following:
❤   PULL THE PLUG from the NET, FB and SOCIAL MEDIA.

❤   PUT YOUR MOBILE AWAY in a place where you might not find it again. 

❤   make sure your TV is unplugged or just put a blanket over it so that you can’t see it.

❤  select a piece from my SOOTHING MUSIC LIST and immerse yourself in a tapestry of sounds. 

❤   take a NOTEBOOK and a pen and wait for the signs that tell you that you now can notice your inner voice.

❤  you might get inspired to do some soul searching and recap part of your achievements this year? 

❤   write down everything that comes as inspiration or thoughts to you, make sure that you capture it all and then ACT upon it!


❤ ❤ ❤ TO SAY NO TO OTHERS MEANS THAT YOU ARE HONORING YOURSELF, WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK, SO GET ON WITH IT!

I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY THIS ADVICE AND IF YOU HAVE SOME GREAT SOOTHING MUSIC THAT YOU ENJOY FEEL FREE TO MAKE A COMMENT DOWN BELOW!
