Hello, How much time have you spent trying to change things about yourself that were never really a problem? Maybe you have spent years trying to be more disciplined, more outgoing, or more structured—believing that if you could just fix those things, everything would finally fall into place. But what if the real work is not about fixing yourself? What if the real work is about accepting who you actually are, without hesitation, without apology, and without waiting for someone else to tell you it is okay? Think about it. Maybe you have always been someone who moves at a slower pace, needing time to process before making decisions. That is not a flaw. It is how you create depth and meaning. Maybe you are deeply emotional, feeling things intensely when others seem unaffected. That does not make you weak. It makes you someone who experiences life fully. Maybe you struggle with routine and structure, finding yourself drawn to a more fluid way of doing things. That is not a failure. It is a different way of operating, one that works when you allow yourself to lean into it instead of fighting against it. We are taught to believe that self-growth means changing the things we do not like about ourselves. But sometimes, the real transformation comes when we stop fighting what is natural for us and start understanding how to work with ourselves instead of against ourselves. There is a difference between avoiding growth and forcing yourself to become someone you are not. 📝 Journaling Prompt: What is one truth about yourself that you have been resisting? What would happen if you fully accepted it instead of trying to change it? The more you accept yourself, the more space you create for real growth. With kind regards, Åsa Strahlemo |

But that day does not come. Clarity does not happen through waiting. It happens through choosing. You do not need...
Hello,Be honest. How often do you dismiss your own progress?How often do you focus on what you have not done instead of what you have?How often do you assume others are more capable, more confident, or more ready than you? Most people do not see themselves clearly. They underestimate their own resilience, their own wisdom, and the strength they have already built. They assume their small steps do not count.They believe they need more proof before they can trust themselves.They forget...
Hello,Feeling stuck is frustrating. It makes you question yourself. It makes you doubt your decisions. It keeps you in the same loop of overthinking, waiting, and wishing something would change.
