LIVING WITHOUT FEAR

Are you also a person who believes that self-doubts are so difficult to get rid of? You’re in the best company because I’m like you.  For years, I’ve worked so hard on my self-esteem, and I couldn’t believe that my self-doubts kept coming back. I’d wish I could eliminate them forever.  The longer I’m on this journey of self-discovery, I realize that it’s not possible to say goodbye to self-doubts...

I often wonder why it isn’t easier and simpler to override our mindset and exchange it with 100 percent positive vibes. We need a certain amount of skepticism to protect us from danger. Of course. But why do we encounter a lot of negatively talking people? And they are everywhere.  If we don’t have parents who haven’t worked on themselves and who have done the same things as their parents and thei...

If you think you’re too old to learn how not to take things too personally, you’re totally wrong. I always thought as a sensitive person, as an empath you have to live with this constant challenge that you don’t know whether you’re wrong or whether it’s someone else’s fault. But this isn’t true. You can learn it at 40, 50, or 60, and it’s still so helpful when you get to the point.  In this episod...

So many things can happen in only one week. My 88-year-old father was at the hospital for the very first time and I couldn’t believe how much this changed him. Before, he was cristal-clear mentally. But on the third day, he started talking weird things. And I knew we needed to get him out of that surrounding as quickly as possible what we did. Now, he’s recovering at home. And then, suddenly my ey...

If I could, I would love to send you a huge package containing happiness and success. But it’s not so easy with those things. Happiness and success probably mean something totally different in your life. I always thought I’d be happy and feel successful when I have a lot of money and I’d be known by a lot of people.

How much do you love your mother? A lot? A bit? Or not at all? If you had asked me this question when I was in my 30s, I would have responded with the last, “not at all”. And only recently, while working on my inner wounded child, I started loving my mother a bit. It was a tiny step in a good direction because I felt relieved with myself. I had less self-hatred. I felt more at peace. But from time...

Emotional home? Yes, emotional home! You might have many feelings but some keep on coming back again and again. And often, they aren’t the most pleasant, and you’d rather like them to stay away from you.  Fear has been my predominant one, and I worked on it the most in the past years. Therefore, I called my book and podcast “Living Without Fear”.  But hopelessness visited me in the past weeks beca...

I haven’t planned to talk about forgiveness because this word reminds me first and foremost of my childhood and my negative experiences with the church. But sometimes, things go differently than planned, and I’m very glad it did. You might know that I love using topics that are at the same time the challenges of my daily life, and I had some major ones in my role as a parent. But don’t stop readin...

Until ten years ago, I was always jealous when someone told me that their dream came true. They were working now exactly what they were dreaming of many years ago. Do you know what I’m talking about? It’s this tiny reminder that someone did things differently or the right way so that they are now so happy with their actual work. Back then, I never believed that I could make my dreams come true. Ne...

Many years ago, I hated people who were talking about self-love. Why? Because all those people were shining, successful, and happy people, and I was struggling a lot with not feeling good enough. I hated my parents because they couldn’t provide me with a good portion of self-confidence. I felt desperate but I wanted to be like those people who knew that recipe to practice self-love. Self-love was...

If you compare yourself to others, how does it feel most of the time?  It feels awful. The other day, I suddenly felt it again. I absolutely dislike this feeling. And even more, I cannot stand the thoughts that are running in my head - back and forth, and I know from the rest of my life: after a period like this, it takes a lot of time to get back to my self-confidence. Because once I started with...

Today, I will share with you a very precious and touching moment I had in the early morning with my cat. I have to confess that I feel a bit ashamed of talking about my feelings toward my cats. Is it because in the past, I tried to be as intellectual as possible? Feelings were not allowed in my articles for newspapers. I had to be as critical as only possible. But this morning was such an essentia...
