From time to time, I get caught in thoughts and thought loops that take me back to the realization that we are pack animals from the Savannah, evolved into what we now call the modern human. Back then, group affiliation was super important, it was super important to get along with everyone, and to be…

Emotions, Words, and Insights
Yesterday, March 12, 2025, I lost a lifelong companion who had been with me for nearly 17 years. My cat, Gusten. Overwhelming and many emotions. I belong to those who believe and live by trying to put words or names to feelings when they arise. Either by writing a diary or writing it down in…
Thoughts about social media
I’m, to say the least, ambivalent about social media, and I’ve probably been on both sides of the scale, from being an avid consumer of content and a sporadic content creator to an absolutist who has not only stopped using it, uninstalled the apps, but also completely unregistered my accounts. To some extent, it has…
Tierd?
Being tired isn’t always just about being tired. It can mean a few different things. For me, I need to handle different types of tiredness in different ways, and I find that it also gives me different results when I choose to do so.

Letting go
To encounter and be filled by big thoughts, feelings, or experiences can be both absolutely fantastic and incredibly difficult, depending on the nature of the thought, feeling, or experience. Positive things are easy and grateful to get caught up in, and it can be wonderful to let oneself be swept away and overwhelmed. But it…
The downside of S.M.A.R.T.-goals

With a focus on a specific goal, which is achieved in a specific way at a well-defined point, where everything culminates in a one-time event, it is…
Choice and perspective
Who ever you are, where ever you are from, if you have faith or not, regardless of your parents, wealth (or lack there of), status or any other attribute we humans tend to hunt or labels we put on ourselves and others. Everything around us, things that are, and things that happen to you, can…
Motivation
Give yourself a pat on the back each time you complete a step on the way in your over all plan to reach your goal. Look back at the starting-point, and look at what you have achieved this far. Each step is a small victory! A reason to feel good about yourself. A source of…
Life journey
I see life as a journey. But there are no right path, nor any wrong, they are all just different paths, and different path suits different persons. I have not seen any map of the various paths in front of me, nor have I thought to map the one’s I’ve just walked, but even if…
Thoughts about feelings
My view is that our feelings are a gift and a tool that are ment to guide us through life. No feeling is wrong or unwelcome, but a feeling can hold us hostage and effect us to unconscious and sometimes unwanted behaviour. A rich emotional life is, according to me, something to pursuit, and not…
