A new perspective
how to embrace new insights and be open to change
It’s almost three months ago that I started this substack and as summer is approaching I thought it a great moment to reflect on what has happened to me and this blog. First is that I have to say, I love substack. It is a place where I can create my own little world and share my ideas with you. But even more, on substack are a lot of very interesting blogs to read. It is inspiring to see so many people share their life stories or knowledge. It is so different from social media. It feels like being part of a new movement. We need stories; to realise that we are not alone in how we move through this world. We also need stories to learn, to get inspired or motivated to move forward in life.
We need to share our stories to get closer to who we truly are.
Opening up
I started this blog at the beginning of spring. As I was opening up to life again after an intense and dark winter. Looking back I see that every day was a new one to open up to new possibilities, playfulness, love and peace. I choose to write about these themes to give myself a structure on the blog. But I soon figured out that I actually really needed more of it in my life. While writing and reflecting on the themes, they started to become more apparent. I am more playful, loving, peaceful than ever before. My worries and fears have disappeared (for now) and I am enjoying every single moment. As I continue to write I see that what I go through is something I wish for all of us. The freedom to truly be yourself. It has been almost ten years when I started writing about the idea that we are here for a reason. And I guess the reason for me to be alive right now is to share the stories of the things I go through with you. To give you the inspiration to move closer to yourself as well.
We need to free ourselves
As I see it now we need to free ourselves. We are all people living on this beautiful planet at this magnificent time. And we are all, in some way or other, connected to visions, ideas and systems that aren’t always healthy for your mind, body or soul. When you step out of the system you have always known, you start to see how strong you were connected to it and what it did to you. Know that you can choose to be free, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances. Sometimes you have to change your surroundings, but often times it is just a matter of changing the way you think and act.
It is a magnificent time to be alive
All around the world consciousness is growing and people are able to see that the lives we have created are no longer sustainable. Not only for the earth we live on, but also as a species. We are invited to change. And so we should. Change starts from within. Seeing the being you truly are and the needs and desires that are essentially yours. What do you really need?
Start playing
My life started to change when I allowed myself to play. Therefore I really do hope that you will be able to start playing more as well. Playing brings you in the moment and when you’re enjoying the moment, nothing else matters.
You can add play in small steps into your life. My play is a mixture of dancing, singing, cooking, moving my body without rules, swimming, speak my truth in every situation, following my intuition on what to do when.
Have a great day, sending you love and appreciation, Irene
