As a child, a little girl to be more precise, I was consumed by shyness. I was so shy and introverted that it disabled me from doing normal things like paying for my lollipop at the grocery-store. But I was also overly active under the right circumstances. In my space of safety. I was at […]

How to find motivation.
Happy Tuesday readers, I’ve been dwelling on this motivation-thing since yesterday and I think it’s time we look into it a tad more serious than all this happy-snappy-rainbow bullshit that overflows my instagram feed (and probably yours as well). Aren’t people tired of pretending to be motivated all the time? And what is it, really? […]
A day in winter wonderland.
This weekend the annual Christmas market at Spikersuppa opened in Oslo, so Martine, Saga and I made a day of it. Even though the snow haven’t shown up yet, it definitely was a Christmas spirit boost! The joy of doing these things with small children is genuine joy. I was more excited about Saga’s excitement […]
Burst into flames, rise from the ashes.
“Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better” Dr. Steve Maraboli said. I read that today and found infinite truth in it. Come to think of it, that’s how life works. I mean, even though I don’t remember, I’m pretty sure being born is […]
The judgement detox.
Judgement. Taste it. Taste the lingering bitterness upon your lips. If it doesn’t give you a bad taste in your mouth, it is because the ego has sugarcoated the word for you for how ever long you’ve been unaware of the bitterness it brings to your life. Recently I picked up a book by Gabrielle […]
The 21th century: the era of offence, self-deception and idiotism.
We are living in the strangest of times. I can of course only speak from my cultural and geographical context, but I suspect we’re all tainted in some respect due to our global engagement. I was having a moment with myself this morning where I reflected upon the fact that I haven’t really reflected upon […]
I’m so in love!
This day has been amazing so far! I slept in, took my time, and I nourished my creative sides today – I went out for some inspiration for my apartment and to pick up some new canvas. Little did I know that I would totally fall in love with a yellow sofa. I need to […]
One lifestyle tip that will change your fitness journey for the better.
Social media makes a healthy lifestyle seem so complicated. I mean, look at Instagram and all the weird exercises people post for variation. Why on earth would I complicate a standard glute thrust by putting a bench in the smith machine and lay on top of it? – Or the SoMe business platforms that promise […]
“I’ll be OK.”
It’s no secret that the past year has been tough on me, from acute anxiety and total numbness to practical challenges in every major area of my life. To be honest I turned everything around in my darkest hours. I made huge decisions for my future while I couldn’t even get out of bed. It’s […]
The unpredictable.
It’s a beautiful autumn day here in Norway and I’ve been enjoying my morning with slow music and chores. Everyday chores, within the right circumstances, usually gives me good reflection-time. Thought trains that makes me question everything. Today my thought train has been tearing apart our need for planning. The need for planning and the […]
