Keuzes maken, vol vertrouwen stappen zetten én daarbij zorgen voor jouw balans
Just in case nobody told you today: You are awesome! You are awesome because you are navigating all the different and difficult emotions that rise up so much now. I sure feel that! I can go from feeling trusting and joyful one day and to feeling down and grieving the loss of normalcy the next […]
Maybe you feel trapped, tied down. Maybe you feel your life is on hold right now. Or maybe you feel your life is turned upside down. From your upside-down position you also have a different perspective. From your upside-down position you’re able to see new things or see things differently. So my inspiration for this […]
Joy is not the absence of darkness. Joy can be found even in dark and difficult times. Joy for me is a soft smile creeping up, a softening of my eyes and feeling grateful for this moment. I find this joy in so many small ordinary moments- looking at beautiful trees in the forest, hearing […]
While thinking about this inspiration mail I was going back and forth between two things. On the one hand I was afraid that you would not want to have another inspiration mail that is addressing the extraordinary situation we all find ourselves in. That I should just write a “normal “ inspiration mail. On the […]
Last week I had a migraine. The next day the migraine was gone, but I still had a headache and felt ‘like a truck had ran over me’. I really craved giving myself some more recovery time. But there was also a critical voice in my head pushing me to suck it up and get […]

“Once I have finished this I’ll have time for relaxation.” “I’ll relax when I get home tonight” “I don’t have time to relax now, I just have so much to do.” “Weekends are for relaxing” How is this for you? Does any of these statements ring true for you? In other words: do you make […]
Women in our society have often been taught that feeling or expressing anger is not done. But anger is just as normal and important as feeling joy or fear. Instead of looking at anger as a negative feeling that should be avoided, anger is actually an important signal. Anger can let us know that a […]
No, this blog is not about food, although there are some similarities. This blog is about the difference between filling your time and spending time to really nourish yourself. You can compare it to the difference between filling your stomach with whatever food is easy and available. Or consciously eating something that really nourishes your […]
What images do courage or being courageous bring to mind? Maybe you think of a knight in a knights tournament risking his life. Or a relief worker, working in a war zone. Or maybe someone who quits her job, sells her house and moves to France to start a B&B. Often courage is associated with […]
