  • Healing and Brainwaves

    Healing and Brainwaves

    While I’m sitting on the train from Denmark where I visited my brother and his family to Hamburg, Germany, where my parents live (and I was born and raised) and I’m looking at the Danish landscape flying by, I reflect on healing and brainwaves. My brother lives with his family outside a small city in…

  • Travelling and Happiness Tank

    Travelling and Happiness Tank

    This week was a bit chaotic because I’m travelling. I had several blog post drafts and a lot more ideas but I couldn’t get them finished. Interestingly, not because I didn’t have time. I did. But I couldn’t get myself to. Sounds like procrastination? Maybe. So, what was going on? Well, I’m writing to you…

  • The Weight of the World

    The Weight of the World

    Recently, I met a friend. We spend a lovely evening together talking about anything and everything. One recurring theme is how annoyed my friend is at work. She has been at her workplace for a few years now and understands how the system works well. Since there are colleagues who have joined more recently, she…

  • About Relationships

    About Relationships

    This post is about relationships. Since I reflected on how close relationships work, I’ll share some of my thoughts here. They are a bit sketchy – let’s see what you think. Connection as a Starter Let’s take a step back and look at what lies under relationships: connections. To have a relationship, we must connect.…

  • The Paleo Question

    The Paleo Question

    I had planned to write about laughing today. But I have this other idea swirling in my head and demanding attention. Actually, it’s more like a question. About how paleo actually worked. After going paleo for a few months, I’ve returned to eating everything (except seafood and dairy because of allergies). But I’m trying to…

  • Impressions from Mandurang

    Impressions from Mandurang

    No reflection this week. I took the kids on a road trip to Victoria (a southern Australian state) where I got a booking for a free cancer retreat accommodation (thanks, Otis Foundation!). So, this week is on impressions from Mandurang. Happy Nostalgia After not driving for years and not owning a car (I rented one),…

  • Dreams and Procrastination

    Dreams and Procrastination

    So, I have a dream. Yes, I always wanted to write that Martin Luther King quote. That wasn’t my dream though. I’ve been developing a course called Introduction to Happiness Skills. My dream is to live from selling this course (and maybe others I’ll develop) and these are my reflections on procrastination. Dreams and procrastination…

  • Are we supposed to be Zen?

    Are we supposed to be Zen?

    I’ve been reflecting about the connection of the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for rest, digest and relax, sympathetic nervous system is responsible for fight or flight) and happiness. After all, most of happiness seems to be connected with relaxation. Also, positive emotions (the various forms of happy – from calm, serene to interested, joyful and…

  • Reflection on Parenthood

    Reflection on Parenthood

    It’s school holidays – the time when kids are not occupied with school but hang out at home (unless it’s travel time or they are booked in vacation care). Time for a reflection on parenthood! My kids are now 6 and 8 and I still cannot believe how fast time went. Just yesterday, I squeezed…

  • Happiness is my Priority

    Happiness is my Priority

    For the last 10 days, I have been experimenting with a challenge – the Happiness is my Priority challenge. Every day, I post on ​Instagram ​“Happiness is my Priority“. I create a new post daily, not copying or recycling old posts or scheduling them days ahead. The importance lies in the intention to commit newly…
