A serendipidous harvest
It’s the end of the harvest season. And as such a good moment to pause and reflect what you’ve harvested so far this year. The basis for a serendipidous harvestI have come to the understanding that life is not linear. We don’t live in a tit-for-tat world. Sometimes...
What shutting down and re-booting means for the body
Are humans and bodies supposed to work like machines? Shut down what you don’t need, switch on what you want. And when the switch is on, the body (or human) is supposed to function like a cog in a system without fault. I can't say this mechanical way of looking at...
What is normal, anyways?
One of the things that has been on my mind is the question what “normal” really means. I have to admit that I’ve had reactions to the phrases “back to normal” and “returning to a new normal” that ranged from slight irritation to frustration as politicians kept...
Using ‘gap days’ to reconnect and set intentions
How has your week been so far? It’s Thursday already. And for many of us it’s a short week because Monday was a holiday. Isn’t it strange somehow, thinking in weeks? Being in this special stay-at-home situation due to the Coronavirus I have started investigating how I...
Dusting off the corners of your body
This is the last part of the Spring cleaning. Today I want to invite you to not look for elephants and the big issues and blocks that we are mostly busy with. When I do a Spring clean in the house, I mostly attempt to tackle the big and important pieces first:...
Wiggling out of an emotion
Now that most of us are staying home, it might actually be beneficial to not only use the time to do a proper spring cleaning of our homes, but also to do inner work that supports us in dealing with the current global developments, stress and emotional overwhelm. Last...
Letting go of useless thoughts
When I do spring cleaning at home, I not only get rid of the dust in the corners and clean the windows, I also move the furniture to see if there is something hiding behind it. I also take out the stuff from the shelves and see what I still need and what’s served its...
The boundaries of clouds
Whenever I'm preparing for a workshop or have a focus subject for myself, I'm exploring it in different aspects of my daily life. It’s natural that you start seeing connections when you maintain an intention for a while. On my Sunday walk in the Viennese Forest...
Thank you, body! Just because.
Have you already said thank you to your body today for doing a great job? Why not? You can show your gratitude by taking a deep breath and relaxing into how you are right now. Often, we only become aware of all the innumerable functions the body is carrying out to...
Do you have a monthly focus?
The year is still fresh and there’s plenty of time for you to shape your everyday life in small ways that can have a big impact over time. A couple of years ago I started having an annual theme or focus. This year it is ‘nourishing the essential’ as I shared in my...
The most basic of choices
Being aware that you have a choice is an essential element to embrace your leadership has a human being. Also knowing that when you don't make a decision, you've made a decision is key to embracing your own strength and individuality. Owning your choice takes away...
Your vocabulary for a good life
Is it odd that we seem to have more vocabulary for what is uncomfortable or doesn't work? And how does this tendency influence our experience of life? We are more used to feel the uncomfortable What I have observed time and again in my work with clients is that most...
What you learn shapes what you see
Yesterday morning, I attended the CreativeMornings event in Vienna. Lukas Paltram, the speaker, shared what inspired him and his team in the development of the font for the Austrian capital. (Super interesting, even when you’re not a typography nerd. You can check out...
Creativity and leadership
Being creative is an act of leadership. Leadership means bringing an intention into the space you share with others. Being creative is also an intentional act of bringing something new into the world. Creativity and leadership both allow for the unexpected....
A just distribution of energy and attention
I've been thinking of justice in the context of bodywork and embodied self-awareness. And what came up was this questions: How you can create a more just distribution of attention and energy for yourself, in your body? Very often, in the creative process we get...
