a week of little yoga wonders

January 9, 2015

I've had good progress with my practice this week, although I must say it's hard to stay patient. To let my body work into the postures on it's own time and not over work or stretch my muscles. This month I'm doing two yoga challenges on instagram (see which in this post or by following my instagram here). They are both great for someone who is new to the practice, or are getting back into it. Now that I've done an entire week I thought I would revisit the yogasanas each week to try and track my progress. I would love to hear about yours too! The more we share, the more we learn! 

Action Plan

December 17, 2014

I've been stuck in limbo since I finished my bachelor and every single day my chest feels a little tighter. Like it's harder to breathe. But I'm not one to give up, so I'm making a plan. I believe success is the direct result of will, consistency and hard work, and as the daughter of a professional goal achiever, I will follow my father's expert advice and make a plan. Today I'll reflect on my main goals and tomorrow I will develop more of a plan of how to get there.


Becoming a yoga instructor has been a dream for a few years. At the moment I don't feel ready, but unless I make concrete plans to complete a course in the near future, I will be saying that till its too late. 


I have so much I'd like to share and I rely on blogs for inspiration and information. I've made amazing friends, discovered incredible destinations and I keep finding inexhaustible sources of inspiration to be more creative and live a better life. I hope to contribute to this pool of inspiration and perhaps eventually make a living of it. 


In Norway most universities are completely free of charge, however, for some reason the creative disciplines doesn't seem to hold as much value to the government and thus aren't as widely supported. There are a few sponsored spots, and I mean a few, like 15-20, and they are for master studies, not bachelor, so when I decided to study interior design in order to get into the creative industry (not to become an interior architect) a private school was the only option. I chose to spend the money because I want to be challenged creatively every day and have a job that I love. 


No matter what, these are the overarching hopes for my life.
