You're not the story in your head.

Something I remember myself a lot in those times.

You are not your thoughts!
You are not your feelings! Yes use them, honor them to see what is going on inside but then ... you get to choose what to think and what to feel!

How: by repeating I choose to think...
i choose to feel ...

What are you choosing today?

Happy Women's Day! ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 Previously I would never have showed myself in a bikini, I hated my body and I was ashamed. For the last 20 years I lived wirh binge eating disorder, i gained and lost weight, shame and guilt were constant. When I finally started to develop a loving, caring relationship with myself I healed. Doing things I love, yoga, meditation, putting up boundaries, saying no, expressing myself the way i trully am. We are all beautiful, strong, wise women and it's time to show this and shine. No competition all women and men together rise and shine in our very personal and unique way! Don't waste time...no worries about size and shape...enjoy and fight!

Here I am! Enjoying every moment. I know the time at the time beach will come to an end and I am perfectly ok with this. Because I learnt that everything has its time...there is a time for happyiness and there is a time for sadness, grief and i am ok with everything. Every state I am in is a chance to learn and grow and everything will pass. For so long I passed my days worrying and not being happy with my life. But this trip opened up my eyes again...nothing is for granted, everything comes and goes like the air we breath in and out...and finally after years of worrying and not being able to enjoy my days, I smile, breath in and out and enjoy. I am able to be happy, enjoy and be grateful for this and every moment.

Amazing day at the beach. I hope one day i'll have the presence, the sparkle, the joy my girl has!
Until then I practice!
Lying in the warm sand looking up at sky for minutes and then it always hits me...we are made of the same stuff as the stars...yes we are meant to shine our light!
So many years and i'm talking decades i dimmed my light cause I just couldn't accept who I was. I compared so much..and guess what, I just stoped comparing. When my old me keeps creeping up, of course it still happens, I remember that everyone has it's own story and i keep recalling my progress. Because what you have now, once has been a dream...track your progress... because you' ve come a long way ❤️

We started our travel through South America right after Christmas. But now since one week we are on the road alone, my 4 yesr old daughter Aramy and I. It's beautiful and it's also a rollercoster of emotions. To be a single parent can feel like a very lonely ride and now being far away from home it actually feels even more lonely. I don't want to go back home, I love travelling...but everywhere around you you just see happy families...and infeel this emptiness in my chest ... so I do what I've learnt to do:
🧘🏻‍♀️i hop on my travel yoga mat and do some streching
⭐️meditation starting with gratitude for this travel and for sooooo many things, people in my life and all the learning and the lessons
✏️journaling! I bring my little journal everywhere and and i write how inferl, how i wanna feel, why i am feeling how i do
And then i keep reminding myself that i am not the story in my head. That i am responsible for everything that happens in my life and i go out and claim it. and so can you!

Imagination is more powerful than knowledge. 🙏✨

My daughter expressing herself at the finest. I must say I don't really like pink, ballet type skirt etc...my daughter loves it and that's cool.
Giving her her own freedom to authentically express themselfs and accepting completly who she is and how she is becoming.
Can it be difficult to accept all that she is? Not impose my own beliefs, standards and ways on her..yes sometimes but it's crucial. And can I accept everything about her? Even when she's not behaving according to the standards?
Well the question I believe is not wheater I can or can't..the question is do I accept myself fully and completely? Do I love what I see in the mirror? How do I feel about myself. I believe in order to accept our children every bit of who they are we must accept ourselfs for who we are.
Well then Parenting is like Yoga..a journey directly into our soul..discovering ourselfs over and over again and making peace from everything we have once suffered.

Pippi Langstrumpf's profession apart from being a pirate, she was a "thing-seeker".
So well that's what we are when we are and and about...a stone..a branch...a flower...we explore..we wonder...we listen...we imagine...we create stories...
When was the last time you played with your child and were totally absorbed by this simple moment and felt complete..fulfilled...aligned and nothing else existed in this very moment.
Sometimes it can be so damn hard to just be and enjoy our children and the moment. We're caught up with thoughts, worries and our to-do-list...
For children's develpment it's crucial to play uninterupted and creative...and we parents just need to follow their example. So the more we are up in our head the longer we need to stay in the forest...
Dive into this beautiful moment with your child...it's the only moment that exists...breath in...breath out...follow the play...follow your child.
That's Yoga on a Easter Monday afternoon.

My Mentor and Teacher Nr. 1...my beautiful little daughter...they say kids learn by observing...well we changed the roles...
I observe and watch her being so present, joyful, so perfect, so true to herself...and I learn all about life...myself!
Trying hard to give my best for her...I will do everything that she never looses that perfect, bright light of hers...nobody shall ever damage this!
That's why we're on the way to a family yoga workshop...grounding...presence...love...mindfulness...and guess who learnt from whom??

The very unique moment. breath in... breath out...
Noticing being present is only the first stage...being present allows us to feel the connection between all there is...seeing yourself in everything around us...when we think, feel and act...everything reacts...that's when we realize..we all are creators...so beautifully unique and powerful.
