This is my mum putting the finishing touches to a pepparkaks (Swedish "gingerbread") house. It was a town competition and she won against the town architect 😊. ⁠
⁠
To me, the build-up to Christmas brings back the smells of baking pepparkakor shaping them into hearts, pigs, Santas, elks, angels;⁠
the lit up windows in Swedish houses from all the advent candle holders in December; ⁠
of people I love, past and present. ⁠
⁠
To me, in the middle of all the rush, it's also a soft, reflective period.⁠
⁠
Maybe you'd like to join me in wrapping up in a throw, light candles, drink some Glögg (Swedish mulled wine full of cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, ginger and often some brandy - highly recommended 😀!) and consider who and what has shaped you in a way that you are pleased with?⁠
⁠
Much love 🧡⁠
Lena⁠
⁠
PS What you are pleased with often comes from how you have managed and grown from situations; not just the lovely things.⁠

🌻I'm taking a break over the summer and will be back in early September🌻

I will use the time to plan, prioritise, and of course have some time off to take care of myself and the people I love.

If you want to read anything from me, I'll be posting blogs on my website and also a bit on LinkedIn (where I'm most active).

Wishing you a wonderful summer and that you too will have some time to regroup and reenergise yourself 😊.

Much love
Lena 💛

💛 I believe love is something you do 💛

It's active and thoughtful, more than something you just feel or that happens to you.

Loving makes you feel good and that affects how you turn up towards others. It really does change the world!

Loving can be big gestures but mainly it's the smaller, everyday acts done consistently that count.

It can be to talk kindly to yourself in a difficult situation, telling a friend something you appreciate about them, cook something with the conscious intention of making somebody (incl yourself) pleased, taking care of yourself with a walk, give a family member a hug.

I'd love you to heart this post if you agree - it would help this post reach more people and hopefully act as a small reminder to those people to think about how to show even more love for themselves and others 🙂.

Much love
Lena 💛

Your brain is not hardwired. It is livewired.

The neurons in your brain connect in a new way with every new thought you have. Your brain is not a machine; it's a living, constantly reorganising organ.

Think of what you want more of in your life, and you will wire your brain for that more alive version of yourself.

Solution Focused therapy and SF Hypnotherapy focuses on helping you find more of yourself, live with more joy and trust in yourself, faster and more easily.

PS I have a free relaxation download on my homepage (URL on picture and bio) if you'd like to feel lighter and more positive now.

🌼Happy Midsummer 🌼

The Swedish Midsummer is a celebration of all things growing, fertility and the magic of the shortest night of the year (sort of - it's on the Friday after the Summer Solstice).

Midsummer is as big a celebration as New Years Eve in Sweden and we eat, drink, dance around Maypole and celebrate long into the non-existant night.

If you want to see something amusing, look up the traditional dance "Små grodorna" 🤣

I wish you all a wonderfully happy midsummer 🧡
Lena 💛

Imagine your mind feeling clearer with a sense of lightness and flow...

This page is about sharing ideas and science and inspiration that can help you see things a little bit differently. That can help you feel like you’ve got a spring in your step again.

Do you worry about all sorts of things? It can be so hard to stop those thoughts whirring around in your mind, you just can’t focus properly. And your body gets in on it too - pounding heart, painful tummy, hard to breathe deeply. You may feel like you’re stuck in mud - heavy and tired, not getting where you want to? Not really believing that what you do actually makes much of a difference? Things just aren’t as much fun as they used to be.

Imagine what your life would be like if your mind was calmer and more focused. What if you felt you had regained your own power; not life just happening to you... I’m here to help you shift. And you only need a small shift for things to start changing. You too can push that door open to hope and confidence and choice. What will you do with that?

A bit about why I’m doing this: I’ve always been interested in psychology but ended up in IT instead. I quickly realised that what I truly enjoyed was to figure out what would help my clients; not the coding part... Working as a woman in IT in the City (London of course:) ) was difficult and I wasn’t at all prepared for the sexism I encountered. To say I was stressed is an understatement. I remember sitting in a meeting one morning and hearing the words but just not being able to understand what any of it meant. It was a truly scary moment and I thought I was going mad. I had no clue how to manage my mind to help me process the stress and anxiety. Luckily I came across an hypnosis tape in a new age shop (tape - that’s how long ago it was!). I listened to that every lunch and it did help me cope better - I now know that it helped to release some of the anxiety and stress that I felt but being a just a tape it couldn’t teach me about my mind for the long run. When I got pregnant and was told that there was no point in sending me on the courses my male colleagues went to because my brain shrinks with pregnancy hormones, and mums anyway aren’t dedicated to their work, then I had truly had enough.
