The 50 day challenge:

Just sit and dangle with your legs

Writing seems to have become an evening habit. I thought it wouldn't be like this...

Today I thought I'd spin on cosy moments and how important they are. With three kids in the family, it's hard to find time to spend with just one child at a time, but we try to make it happen as often as possible. Tonight, our son opted out of an activity because he just wanted to sit on the dock and dangle with his legs. I thought it sounded great and we went down to the dock. Realized we hadn't been there together since the quickly passing swimming season.

As we sat there, it was again a cosy chat. It's like using a different part of the brain, the part that just is. At first it was just nice to sit down and watch the water, but after a while we both notice the little fish playing and jumping just below our legs. They are also jumping around further out in Lake Mälaren and the water is sort of glistening in different places. Studying these little fish in detail was so cosy and so relaxing. To just stop and switch off for a while. That's what a meditation can look like! It's not just about sitting with your back stretched out on a yoga mat and trying to focus on your breathing. It's about something much bigger. It's about a connection with something so much bigger than yourself.

Thought of the day:

What happens inside you when you let go off the everyday demands for a while? How do you make it happen?

This article is part of The 50 day challenge, where I challenge myself to write an article a day for 50 days! The articles can be about anything, short or long, but I can't miss a single day!

  • Things, things, things...


    We moved from California at the beginning of the summer, got the keys to our new home in July and the container of stuff from the US arrived in August. When we moved to California we didn't really know for how long it would be and we didn't have a container in that direction included in our deal, so we chose to store a lot of stuff then (6.5 years ago) and also get rid of some larger furniture etc that wouldn't fit in the storage we were renting.

  • Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! It's snowing outside!


    And then it finally came, the snow! You should have seen the children's enthusiasm this morning! And for our kids, it was certainly long-awaited. In California, it's always blue skies, sunny and warm. The kids have seen snow and skied, but not in everyday life. And it showed when we got dressed this morning. We're not used to it!

  • Honey and Sunshine


    I have just left my children at school and am cycling at a leisurely pace back towards town. I'm enjoying myself and cycling so slowly that I barely have any steering speed. The morning offers blue skies and the Lake Mälaren is completely clear. I breathe in fresh, cold air and boost with new energy for a new day. A very special day. I have so many new ideas in my head, I feel like I just want to go home to the office to sit down and sort out what feels most right to tackle first. But there's no rush, I'll get to what I'm supposed to get to today. Although the list I'll write down will probably be enough work for 10 years to come.

  • You are creating and doing your own puzzle!


    I love working with holistic health, because many health-related problems are actually preventable. The complexity of the holistic approach is challenging, as you have to get all the pieces of the puzzle and also put them in the right place to form a complete puzzle. At the same time, it is so amazingly cool that you can do so much about your lifestyle and life situation yourself. You make the decisions, you decide, you put the puzzle together and experience the results!

  • Simplicity


    I have just enjoyed a very good meal in the sunshine. It was raw roast potatoes and leeks with reindeer, green peas and lingonberry jam. Seasoned with salt and pepper. All fried in butter of course. No fuss and very few ingredients. Ready in no time.

  • Prenatal yoga in Strängnäs


    If you are pregnant and live in Strängnäs or next door, then you are welcome to prenatal yoga starting Sunday 12/11! I offer this course in cooperation with Yogahuset in Strängnäs. Focus will be on breathing, light stretching, adapted positions and relaxation exercises.
