Life purpose, priorities, plans , goals...get where you want to go

I was thinking about a good metaphore about plans and I came up with this:



Imagine you are a family of 4 , ready to go on holiday, you are at the airport and you see a friend who asks you : -"Ah, so I see you are going on holiday..." "Yes" , you answer back, "-Where to ? " asks your friend.... "I don't know" you say... Very unlikely, huh? If you are going on holiday you KNOW where you are going.



Imagine the same thing now about your life:wanting to live life where it REALLY matters is about knowing yourself, your values in order to make the "right" priorities in order to achieve dreams and goals. Imagine now, with your life as the example, to move on in life WITHOUT a map, without a plan.....-What is that like? Confusing? Frustrating? Unfullfilling? Chaos...?



Imagine again that you HAVE a plan, a weekplan, a monthly plan, a year plan, long term goals, a dream book, ...you set off time in your calender to actually PLAN your life so you CAN have all the ingredients you want from life....then we are getting closer to FULLFILLMENT...



What do you do in order to live life where it really matters ? What are your favourite tricks to cease the day and live on purpose? What IS your life purpose?



Lots of good karma to all

Inspiration..keeping momentum...

Since last weekend in Oslo I got two new ideas for workshops:

1. Feel the fear and do it anyway

This one would be about cool ninja tricks to deal with the voice inside that sometimes pops up and says "you dont dare to do this", "you will loose your face" "Are you mad ?"

2. Positve Communication

Choose to choose your words and way of communication conciously. Your words form your world. Give it a try. Be aware of what kind of words you spray the room with :-) Only use positive words and positive perspectives for a whole day. Notice when you slip and don't as well...

This is how far I got from yesterday's brainstorm party I had in bed when I couldn't sleep and all the ideas and inspirations where raving...hehe...Then its just to rave on...follow the flow :-)

From where do you get inspiration to live live fully???

Mwa!

NIKE Convetion this weekend

Good morning everyone,
This weekend is going to be very exciting, the NIKE Convention in Oslo is taking place :

http://www.nikewomen.no/

Check it out. This is the place where yoga meets techno...there is something for body and mind , adrenaline and calm...Can't wait to go there !!!

I am going to hold two workshops : Best Version of Yourself, which is about values, priorities, planning, goals/dreams, and 100% Leadership which is about unintended/intended impact, charisma, uniqueness, and life purpose. Life-embracing stuff. I hope people who have been there will have the feeling that ANYTHING is possible :-)

Two days ago I held a feedback session here in Stavanger with a group of amazing people. Thanks for sharing your dreams, experiences AND feedback :-) Everytime I get into the subject of dreaming I can see how the light in peoples' eyes starts to sparkle, how smiles fill the room, how hearts starts to beat a bit faster....when I do this work I am also reminded to stay in touch with my own goals and dreams.

Yesterday I was dreaming for my children, I wish for us to discover the world together, so my partner and I decided to do a full year project where we look into the world from different perspectives: learn about countries & cities, history and literature will be great stories, languages, music from all over the world, films, food, animals, multi-cultural eyes...etc....I am very eager to start it off and the first time will be February. We will learn as well as we create this together + give it to our son and daughter.

Where it will land is a mystery...:-)

Now I am off finilazing workshops :-)

Have a fullfilled week

Sea weed

Holy cow! I have just bought and tasted "crispy sea weed"...and guess what : it was so good ! What a perfect snack ! And so healthy...!!! What healthy stuff do you snack on ???

Have a zen day

Run baby run

This is a great place to start if you like to get a running program: http://www.polar.fi/

Of course, if you can create the oppurtunity to have a trainer :get one, or a running buddy, or not...find the way that suits you!

I like to do the long runs alone...like a mindful run...Shorter runs is nicer with friends.

What about YOU?

Just get out there, that's what I am going to do, and this afternoon I am bringing my son as well, inspiried, again, by the members of Kernesund Familie in Denmark :-)

Run baby run
JUST DO IT!!!

Love

Food food - glorious food

The past few days I have had an injection of positive inspiration from a Danish phenomenon called Kernesund familie http://www.kernesundfamilie.dk/ This is a family who changed their lifestyle and seem to have had a transformation that is kick-butt!!!! I wow them...

This comes at a time when I have been thinking a lot about food and what is offered to us in the stores, how well us as consumers have to me informed about what is out there...I also see that the western world is getting more and more interested in cooking, in Sweden one new cooking book is getting into the market EVERY day ....so people , we are interested , and people we get more aware also about the importance of trying to eat as local as possible...So the world is getting into a more and more awake conciousness about food...

Now there is sugar.This is the greates inspiration from Kernesund Familie in Denmark. Cutting out sugar. I want to do that to. I want to take it gradually as I am learning myself how to do it I want to give it to my family. I like for us to eat as much naturally sweet things as possible...

So...for this year I am aiming to bring my learning curve straight up regarding : sugarfree diet, GI- diet, raw food , local food....And on the way wishing to learn yummy recepies :-)

There is soooo much to say on the subject of food and so many voices : what do YOU have to say? What is your way with your family? Look forward to hearing from ya !

With lots of love and sunshine from my desk overlooking the Hillevåg harbour...nice crispy winter sun....Ice still on the lakes and fjord :-)

Check this out

If you are a mum or a dad and able to read Danish you have to check this out:
Kernesund familie: http://www.kernesundfamilie.dk/

They are basically covering lots of things on the themes of, as I see it, holistic health, fro mthe inside and out! I like it a lot! I am reading the book at the moment and feel full of inspiration to cut out sugar from my diet...Even though I see myself as someone who eats healthily I believe I can do it even better AND especially thinking about my kids. This book is for your whole family. I am taking the raisins from tha cake and use and get inspired from the pieces I need, check it out...:-)

Have an energetic and fun day!

90 seconds

90 seconds...that's what it takes for the mind to decide if we follow an impulse or not. With impulse I mean follow our intuition to say something or do something, follow an urge, the heart's need, the core's craving... After 90 seconds fear comes into the picture and complicates things...

90 seconds... to say hello to a stranger, let people who do something good know you appreciate it, 90 seconds to go on that gut feeling...

90 seconds to rock

Setting the compass for the blog

So my compass for the blog is one blog per week, if there is more time and urge...more times...
Namaste

Winter adventure up in the north of the world...Gällivare...where I was born. So beautiful in winter ....magical, cold, white, blue, calm, quiet...

Happy Sparkling New Year

Happy New Year

Hope 2010 will be an amazing , sparkling year for you!

I am so well rested, the nature up in north of Sweden is so calm and energy giving and being around family and friends also add to the feelgood-spirit that I am still bathing in :-) I was so tired after the month of november with 2 weeks of swine flu + 10 days of ear infection so christmas holidays and re-charging couldn't have been better timed !!! Got a (and here it comes, what I believe is a Sw-English word) spike mat (English translation someone ? we discussed this one for half an hour...) as a christmas gift: bliss- using it every evening, putting some lavendel oil in my face, a good book and some self-torture on the mat...I also had a massage + facial at a spa for christmas, which was heaven.

So, January and I am loving my new calendar from Ordning & Reda :http://www.ordning-reda.se/pages/index.asp I have had the same one for 5 years now, just changing colours...Anyway, the feeling of filling in a new calendar is great ! Clean pages, new possibilities, plans, goals...mmm...not to talk about dreams....Acctually, I do them all the time, plans and dreaming...AND its still something special about January.So I am setting the compass this year for some calm AND adventure, for a lot of time in nature, time with my family, lots of sports, hoping to meet and have great conversations with inspiring people...what else...? Sticking to my plans , walking the talk...so that dreams and goals come true.

What about you ???
Have a crispy day
