My life vision board. In addition to a clear purpose I recently sat down and defined what kind of life I wanted to have and live. If I could dream freely, how would I like my life to look and feel like? What do I need, who do I want to be and what do I want to do to feel good? Connecting pictures to my goals and visions made the goals more emotionally rooted and easier to visualize. I used Trello to create the board and unsplash.com for the pictures. Dream big. Start small. Act now. #lifevision #lifegoals #goalsetting #goals #lifecoach #lifecoaching #lifearchitect #bestlife #dreamlife #intentionalliving #motivation #inspiration #trello #unsplash (at Stockholm, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSSI13hanH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bwh82jwkhkef

“Life is gonna lead you right as long as you listen to what YOU want, and not to what others want. The ability to separate your own voice from others’ might be the most important ability of all.” _____ Helping others realizing more of who they are and making the most out of their lives is the best thing I know. _____ #lifeadvice #motivationalspeaker #bestlife #meaning #wordsofwisdom #lifecoaching #purpose #livingwithpurpose #workwithpurpose #meaningfulwork #mindsetiseverything #inspiration #motivation (at Stockholm, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqC-3fRB7at/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dfr8sup008o0

We think about 50,000 thoughts per day. How does your split look like? ____ A few years back I started becoming more conscious of in what tense my thoughts are and when it is that I feel happy. My thoughts have always been very focused on my future and I’ve come to realize that I’m only happy and feel content when I have high expectations and hope for my future.  ____ This became very apparent about 1,5 years ago when I quit my career, left my home and my relationship. All of a sudden I had no expectations left for the future, I felt incredibly lost and had no idea where I was going. My reliance on expectations for the future almost threw me into depression.  _____ Since then I’ve been trying to become more rooted in the sense that I want more of my thoughts to be in the present. I want to stay more focused on the people, surroundings and experiences I go through and to practice gratitude more. Meditation is a fantastic tool to become more present. I’ve also now started with yoga once a week which is also making wonders.  _____ My goal now is to get closer to at least 50% present and 40% future, for a more stable wellbeing.

Another bucket list item checked! Guest lecturing in entrepreneurship back at my old school, one of the best business schools in Europe! I remember when I sat in those rows telling myself that one day I’m gonna come back and be the one up there. I told them my story of living with intention to create the kind of life I want and my way into becoming an entrepreneur. Inspiring others to realize their potential and to get closer to their dreams is one of the most satisfying things I know. #stockholmschoolofeconomics #stockholmschoolofentrepreneurship #bucketlist #guestlecturer #socialentrepreneurship #stockholm #entrepreneur #inspiration #motivationalspeaker (at Stockholm School of Economics) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpb10nYhBM5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jjovl5l0q9b2

The only obstacle between who we desire to be and who we are, is our own mind. I believe that we are who we choose to be. And who we choose and desire to be is a representation of our core values. Authentic, curious, grateful, peaceful, present, playful, passionate, to mention a few for me. Self-discipline, will and control over my own mind, is what will enable me to live more according to those values. That’s how I become who I choose to be. . . . #lifeadvice #wordsofwisdom #lifegoals #selfdiscipline #discipline #selflove #mindsetiseverything #lifecoach #lifecoaching #dreamlife #corevalues #mindcontrol #selfleadership #willpower https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJyXikhBkp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=153a4ce7bo8qv

My meditation spot this morning. There is something so special about water, it’s so peaceful and calm yet so ungraspably powerful. I love how I worked this beautiful spot into my morning run routine, to take a 10min med sesh and just gain a wider perspective on things before the day starts. #mindsetiseverything . . . . . ______________ #lifeadvice #wordsofwisdom #lifegoals #selfdiscipline #discipline #selflove #meditation #morningroutine #lifecoaching #startup #startuplifestyle #entrepreneur #socialentrepreneurship (at Roddarklubben (Djurgården)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFrq3CBqRC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n9dgsoc2pmx6

The way to the life you dream of is to live and speak your values and desires as much and as often as you can, to unveil the dreams deep inside of you that you are so careful to protect from others. All you ever have to ask yourself is: what matters most to me and why? ✨✨✨ This is my list right now: 1. Fill my days with love and play, meaningful relationships, community and authentic encounters and experiences, to feel that I live fully. 2. Build an international company to have a positive and lasting impact on the world. 3. Sing and produce music to connect emotionally with myself and other people. 4. Write and speak to inspire others to live more intentionally and be more content with their lives. #intentionalliving #lifeadvice #inspire #connect #values #desires #dreamlife (at Barcelona, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9ENFuhfRR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19qibipehckp7

For the longest time, I thought self-discipline was something negative I had to do TO myself, a pain I had to conquer. It was actor Will Smith that flipped the switch in my mind that self-discipline is actually something positive we do FOR ourselves. It’s an ACT OF LOVE, an investment I am doing FOR myself because I love myself. #mind #blown listen to his own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=260ou4_9mYI “the road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior” #lifehack #lifeadvice #selfdiscipline #selflove https://www.instagram.com/p/BnyQ7gxhm4T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b4x0w5oyi3kv

The most powerful combination of human beings is when they share the same beliefs, but view them slightly differently. They pull in the same direction, yet they challenge each other's understanding of that direction and widen each other's perspective of the world. There's an inexplicable deep connection when you meet someone with the same beliefs and values, it feels like home. #connection #beliefs #peoplewhobelievewhatyoubelieve #bond #home #community #lifegoals #friends #lifeadvice #lifewisdom #magic https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMNKnshNYi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cq6jmneg5jog

As part of our coaching sessions with @lifeeditors this past week, we read the short story “Good Luck”. It’s a fictional story about two knights who separately set out to find a clover of fortune in an enchanted forest. The way the two knights take on the challenge represents two very different ways of how you can view life and take control of your own fortune.  _____________________ While one knight sees every obstacle as a failure and gets more and more anxious in his search, the other one uses his curiosity to learn more and creates the right circumstances to maximize his chances instead. He swallows his pride and constantly asks ‘why’, and that makes all the difference. What I loved especially about the story was that the second knight felt satisfied and content with himself after having done everything he could, so much that he seemed less possessed than before with reaching his goal, he found joy from the process and knowing that he had done everything that could be done. _____________________ Find out what you really want out of life, ask yourself why and then visualize what things you need to happen to get there, what circumstances do you need to create for yourself to get there? And if there are obstacles or challenges, learn how to get around them by asking why they are there, rather than focusing on how they are stopping you. Get to the bottom of things. Never give up. Stay curious. Enjoy the process. #lifeadvice #goodluck #whatisluck #opportunity #lifehack #startwithwhy https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMMHq5iegE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14kr7n7g6os8d
