As I always say, you should LOVE everything you own and have around you in your home. If you do, you will bring love into your life and feel so much better. Think about if you have something in the room you are in right now if there is something you do not love. You may find many things you do not like. Well, get rid of them, because they will not give you any joy at all. If you take look at your things you have around you right now where you are for the moment. If you’re not at home you have to do this when you´re coming home of course. You probably see many things around you. I would like you to chose 8 items that you really love in the room where you are for now. Take each items in your hand and as yourself why you love it and what that special things do for you. Maybe it helps you to be focused or to concentrated or just make you happy. Whatever it is you like it’s so good to be aware of that. Then you’ll learn what things you don’t like and the things that you can leave for good.  BIG NEWS!!! From no

I would like to know how it goes for you. Have you started your simplicity journey, are you on track or have you not started? Anyway, no matter what, this episode is a check up for you, so that you can see how to continue this year in simplicity. It’s not easy at all to get started, so if you´re just in the thinking fase, don’t worry. It’s a day tomorrow too. Now we’re almost in the middle of 2021 and it’s time to check the status for our goal settings. If you interested in how I set up my goals for a new year go and listen to episode no 24 and you’ll get new ideas on how to do that.  If you already have set your goals for this year, take a look and see if you have accomplished them or if you have to readjust something to achieve what you want this year.

Why is it so difficult to trust on ourselves and listen to our intuition. Everything happens for a reason and I’m glad you’re here.   If we talk about life from the beginning and newborns. I think they are not afraid at all. Maybe just the sight of the bright light and that's why they're screaming. So why are we afraid as adults? I think there are many reasons for that, but I think we often listen to others too much and too little for ourselves. You know, when a brilliant idea pops into your head and you feel so happy when you think about it. You really think it's a good idea and that it's something you really want to do. But suddenly you start thinking about what others would say and then comes your fear of it, right?   We tend to listen to others more than ourselves and in my opinion that is not positive for us. It's great to have inputs from others, but they do not know about your thoughts and your good feelings you had when you got the brilliant idea. Maybe your friends think it's not a good idea at a

So, what is feng shui? The old visdom from east about The art of placement. It’s very interesting to know that people in China, Hong kong and so on are using feng shui when they build their houses. They place them in the right direction and also to protect themselfs from danger. We use the element from the nature, the compass, yin & yang and some more great tools. I can for example tell you your best direction when you’re sitting at your work desk, so that the energy works for you and not against you. Sometimes it could help to just move the table a little bit and you will feel a difference and also could get more success in your work.   It’s also works very well together with the law of attraction. Your thoughts are very important. If you want something and you always think about what you don´t have you’re working against the law of attraction. It’s always better to think positive and remove the negative words as I don’t or I can’t and instead think about how you say things positively. That has helpe

Have you ever thought about why you do things in your life? Sometimes we just do things without thinking, but when we are more aware of the why, everything will change and it’s easier to stay focused and continue what we’re doing. It could be anything in your life. When I started to be more aware of my why of everything I do and the purpose my life changed in so many ways.  As I said in the last episode we have so much fear about letting things go and it was the same thing for me. I´m not a superwoman and I’m just an ordinary woman like you and I have also fear about different kind of things. The thing is how we tackle them.

We have so much to do on our daily basis and I’m always working on to simplify my life more and more. A good idea could be to take a look at the morning habits and routines. Simplify and add just the good things that feels good. I know there are many ways and for me it has been my wardrobe. I have minimized the amount of my clothes and the results of that is stress-free mornings. I know what’s in my wardrobe and I also know what to wear.

If you would like to know how to start to create a balanced healthy lifestyle this episode is for you. Years ago I started to minimize my home and my belongings and I have learned a lot during this time.

What I also learned is that when people starts to get rid of things they don’t need, like or use anymore they often starts to declutter the wardrobe, and that’s my favourite space. As I always have worked with clothes in different kind of ways in my life I wanted to dive into it a little bit more. I created a course: Wardrobe Code 101 which includes:   How to find you personal style How to get rid of the clothes you don’t need, like and use How to organize and take care of your clothes    Wardrobe Code
