When the last year started, I declared to myself – it is going to be my year. Not in a selfish kind of way but more in a getting to know yourself better kind of way. I had been feeling for a while that we are so indulged in our fast-paced lives, constantly moving, rushing
Giving yourself permission to become a beginner is quite hard at times. When we become too accustomed to our ways of doing things in a certain way, we feel a little unsafe when we think about taking on a new adventure, some kind of risk even if that’s just learning to draw for example. We start
If you’ve been reading my fortnightly letters, blog posts here or following me on Instagram you probably already know that I have a thing or two for painting, especially oil painting. I have been dealing with a ton load of fears, limiting self-beliefs and self-doubts when it comes to painting and I was petrified of
As a Creative coach, I get to work with amazing creatives who are aspiring to build a creative life that works for them on their own terms and have conversations with them where we talk about what’s stopping them from living the creative life they aspire to live. Today, I am sharing a recent conversation
I am a fan of organizing and getting things in order. Today, I want to share a rather simple way to make a simple 12 months plan that works for me hoping that it will also help you to dream, simplify, organize, plan and create in a way that would serve the best for you. I
Slowly starting 2019, after a year of having this blog and still not being able to write as much as I wanted to or intended to. I am exploring reasons here with a note to myself as an encouragement moving forward to show up as I want to. If you find yourself stuck with whatever

It sounds crazy when I say
January is almost over and I am just starting to lean into the embracing the year slowly and soulfully. Instagram seems to be fully taken over by the January intentions and all the planning and I am choosing not to feel overwhelmed by that. I am taking a slower approach and trying my best to
I did a Youtube video last year when I was trying out YouTube, a very long story short, after a month or two, I figured it wasn’t for me. It wasn’t something that the introvert in me was comfortable with but I’d have never known it without giving it a try. The video that I’m talking
A new year and making resolutions for the new year feel like a fresh start to something, something great that you want to work towards. If I’d be completely honest making resolutions for the new year has never worked for me. Almost until the end of January or the very beginning of February, I tend to forget
I almost didn’t post any blog posts in 2018 despite feeling an intensely bothering itch to do so. It won’t be wrong if I say that I thought about it almost daily. I found myself giving in to the fears despite having wonderful things to share, amazing ideas to bring to life, having incredible stories
Making time to read can be a little hard in our fast-paced lives. That’s one of the reasons I have started to admire the slow living lifestyle more. I love reading and making time for it. There is nothing compared to the joy I get from a good book in my hand that I just can’t
