The Power of Intuition - a magnificent tool

A few months ago I attended a very inspiring International Womens Workshop in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was thinking of entering this competition they arranged, which is quite unusual of me. In a split of a second I heard this voice inside of my head saying; "Come on you never win anything! Don't bother, why would you win? Imagine how many people enter the competition, you will not stand a chance!" Ever heard little voices like these stopping you from following your initial thought, and making you take a step back? I have.

I've said it many times, yet I can't emphasize it enough - please, please TRUST YOUR GUT FEELING! Your intuition is speaking to you all the time.

I simply disregarded the "doubter" and decided that I wanted to give it a go anyway. I set my goal and promised myself that if I was to enter the competition, I wanted to win. I made a mental picture of how I would feel having won - the picture I saw in front of me felt very vivid and real. I said a silent Thank You and continued working. Unfortunately I had to leave the workshop early, so I never saw the price ceremony. On Monday, upon my return there was a package on my table. I knew instantly what it was...YES!! I had won! I had won!!! Now, do you understand the power of your intuition?

The book I won is called What Happy Working Mothers Know written by Cathy L. Greenberg and Barrett S. Avigdor. The book couldn't have arrived at a better time. Being a mother to a lovely 3 year old boy and having a career at the same time has its challenges. It's an everyday puzzle to get the practicalities together, however, I feel privileged and grateful for every day.

What Happy Working Mothers Know is a book for any woman (or a man) who is keen to learn more about positive psychology that can lead to a healthy and happy working/life balance. But it is also a very practical book for anyone who's struggling with guilt, finding time for family, friends, exercise, you name it, at the same time as you pursue a career. Do not let the title mislead you...this book is for anyone who wants more happiness in life. 

Next time you hear voices that discourage you, please stop for a moment and reflect on it. What is your internal GPS trying to tell you? The more you listen and practice the easier you will recognize the guidance.

Have a great summer!

L E A P into a new tomorrow

We are living in a world, where old habits, patterns, and beliefs no longer serve us. N E W ways of thinking pave the way stronger than ever - a gateway towards living more authentically and from a place of constant choices has opened up for us. 

The change YOU are going through might not be the same as I am going through. We are all experiencing a shift yet this might occur in very different ways. Some of you might feel it very clearly in your physical body, i.e, as headache, backache, chest pain etc. Whereas others might feel it on a mental or a spiritual level. One thing is for certain, there is no turning back!!! We are ALL accessing this new dimension of consciousness and a world of brand new possibilities.   

Our emotional body, physical body, mental body, astral body and etheric body (what ever you want to call it) - EVERYTHING IS CHANGING. You might be feeling that you do not fit in anywhere, maybe you are overwhelmed by not having a clear direction and do not understand what's happening or where you are going, and this might be very frustrating. Personally, I feel like I am waiting for something, but don't know exactly what and I can't put my finger on it either. Not to worry. This will pass. 

Everyone, I mean EVERYONE is going through a shift. The world is changing. Volcanic eruptions in Iceland, volatile stock markets in Europe and U.S. - just follow the news. Those who try to clench with the old will have a tough time... a huge opportunity and gateway has opened up for us. I am ready to accept and embrace the changes happening on both the inside and the outside, and taking a
L E A P into a new tomorrow. What about you?

As Neale Donald Walsch so beautifully puts it...

"A totally different you can emerge from a totally

different idea that you have about yourself. All it takes

is a decision to change your mind about 

Who You Are and why you are here..."

Perspective is everything. 

What would it take to elevate your awareness on this day?  

Whatever it would take, do that. 

Don't just think about it.  

Do it."

With joy!
