This has been the most beautiful spring I can remember in Norway. It’s been sunny almost all of May and I’m not mad about it. Spring is all about new life, new beginnings and bright future in my mind.
For the last ten years I’ve been chasing a career, getting and education, figuring out who I am an, living a busy life and a little unhealthy.
Sure, I eat green smoothies and kale, but I also lead a lifestyle that maybe isn’t the healthiest for mind and body. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not doing drugs or anything, but you know! A glass of wine (or maybe bottle) here and a chocolate bar there. Throw in some late nights, working 15 hours, not taking care of my self, not working out and little relaxing downtime and there you have me. I think we all could try to do more good for ourselves.
I’m turning 31 this summer and I think it’s about time I slow down and take better care of myself.
I also have this feeling that 1st of January should be in the springtime, maybe 1st of June is when my year should start from now on? Living June to June!
This is what I intend to do:
More Kundalini yoga
Go for walks in nature (and share some of that Norwegian beautiful nature with you guys)
Double my intake of fruit and veggies
Get more sleep
Why do I share this with you? It usually helps to tell the world about lifestyle changes. Hold me accountable or ask me how it’s going!
Not going to lie - if I shed a few pounds I’m not gonna be mad about it. But I do this first of all to get more energy and to feel healthier.
Grapes, kiwi, blueberries, strawberries and orange.
Notice how there are none “stop doing this” and “do less”. I want everything to have a positive angle and I want to concentrate on stuff I want, not things I want to get rid off.
I hope this inspires you if you also felt a bit “meh” during January - April!
Keep in min that I live in Norway. It’s basically dark and winter from October to March!
Everything is so green and pretty here now! I love it.
