Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: "Looking outside, glued to the window, teardrops coming out of nowhere, running down my cheeks. My breath - first gone and then pounding and forcing my ribs to move. All of it is a reaction of joy and bliss of being near one of my favourite elements. Here I am. With the result that the ocean has on me. To be vulnerable. And...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: "This episode is about that feeling. A feeling I wouldn't want to trade for a million. I talk about the feeling of confidence. Normal healthy confidence. Some have it naturally - bless you! Others don't. And sometimes it's fading - but when it comes back again, oh you take it. And you put on those sunglasses, tie up that col...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: "Today, just a few short stories. But as usual - there are questions involved for you to ponder upon with a nice cup of tea.  The first one is:  What have you done only once in your life?  The second and third questions would be:  And why did you only do it once?  Would you like to do it again?  I am just going to give you a...

Hi, I'm Anna Jelen, also called The Time Expert. This episode is an outtake from a dream I had a few nights ago. Even if I try my best to explain the dream, I can't bring it to you as I would like to. You know how dreams are. But the questions in there - oh, they shook me up in a good way. Maybe they do the same to you.  So, grab a cup of tea, lean back and enjoy.  A little outtake: "Anna. Sometim...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: "How do we recognize talent? It is not by asking someone, "What do you enjoy doing?" but by asking, "What comes naturally to you?" Albert Einstein, for instance, loved playing the violin, but it did not come easily to him. On the other hand, physics did. In the realm of physics, he entered a state of flow where it almost fel...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: "I wonder if anyone has the right to give advice without being asked. There are so many advice-givers out there it can be extremely overwhelming. An information overload can be mentally exhausting and costs a lot of time. Sometimes it confuses one more than it helps. That's why I try to stick to my one and only best advice g...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: " I grew up in business, working on multiple projects or even having different roles in the company.  First, I had it all mixed up. Then I tried to work Monday on Project A., Tuesday on Project B. etc.  It took me years to learn how to become efficient and get a grip. And I clap myself on my shoulder on this one because toda...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 Today with a few words by the fabulous Hollie McKay - writer, world & war reporter. A little outtake: " If anyone would have told me what would happen in the last 5 years, I might have asked: can I do anything to change those circumstances? Can I do anything to avoid all this? But it doesn't matter. It happened. We'll never ever know wha...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: " Even though we live in a world, that is more connected than ever, we are increasing circumstances of loneliness. It's a fact that people feel lonelier than ever.  That's why I think this topic is worth looking at.  Do we take enough time - to look around? To look other people in the eyes? To sit on a bus and observe others...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 Hi, I'm Anna Jelen, and in this episode I answer two questions. The first one is from Pablo: "If you have any advice for someone who wants to make a dream come true or to achieve a goal, what would you say?"

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: " One year since the passing of Dad. A year that is difficult to put into words. I still can't. Today, directly from Sweden, just a few words to you, my dear listener, about "my grief process". By the way, listen carefully, and you will hear all kinds of different birds. I'm sitting on the balcony - it's six o clock this Mon...

Focusmate link: https://www.focusmate.com/?_from=anna66 A little outtake: "Sometimes, life reminds you of your weaknesses. And sometimes we completely forget that some of our weaknesses prevent us from a more successful life. Or a healthier and easier life. Unfortunately, you might be shocked by how much some of your weaknesses might be so pronounced that they hold you back from living a far more...

Here is a little outtake: Hi, I'm Anna Jelen, also called The Time Expert.  My podcast channel is about self-development, the big questions and time management à la Anna. I am flattered to be in your ears. I wonder what you are doing right now? Jogging? Cooking? Driving? Walking? I once got tagged in a video on Instagram, and it was so funny to hear my voice coming out from the stereo system in a...

My dear listener, work is a part of life. And work also contributes to our ability to have a fulfilled life. But this is only possible if we don't see work as an annoying necessity. It's time to think about why you go to work. A little outtake: "The classical concept of work is changing. Which is a good thing. To be busy isn't as fancy as it once was. We have several ways of working. Today the you...

Observing and listening skills are great tools to rest in the present. But we also need them if we want to grow and learn. There are so many more advantages: by observing and listening, you gain a deeper understanding of people and situations. You gather more information, and you understand the needs and wants of others. You build stronger relationships. People appreciate being heard and understoo...

Here is a little outtake: "I ask you, my dear listener: how can we accept certain things as normality? That a beautiful young girl will destroy her body to look like Barbie? And that there are doctors actually doing the procedures. Isn't it toxic that young people must live with the feeling that they are never good enough? Or that social media has made us less social, distracts us from important l...

My dear listener, this is just a reminder to be thankful for what's already there. And it's about the magical moments next to the sea. And it's also about the love for life and how thankful we can be, when we wake up on the next day and get another day gifted. A little outtake: "Fire. And so I began to incorporate the element of fire more into my life. And then when I stand there looking into the...

This episode is about pushing our limits. Lilou does, and she tells us the benefits of doing so. Here is a mini-outtake: "Isn't life about expanding and growing? Therefore we must face risk and test our limits. And maybe the most important question is: what are the consequences if we don't do it? What if we know, deep inside of us, that we don't live the life we want to live because we are in the...

Let intuition guide you through life NEW PODCAST EPISODE Here is a little outtake from the latest podcast episode: “When your body speaks, there are no thoughts needed.
