I have been inflexible my whole life and it was one of my goals to learn how to increase flexibility in my muscles. Since I love challenges and I love growing, It was only a matter of time before I would roll out my mat and get to business.

With any goal in life, it is not about how fast you can do it, but about the quality you do it with. It’s about persistence, determination, love towards yourself, and never giving up.

In this video I am taking you on a 60 day journey with me. You’ll see my ups, my downs, my struggles, and my most precious realizations!

It’s been around 1 year since I’ve been properly learning Korean with a teacher. Just had my usual Tuesday morning lesson and decided to reflect a bit.

•

If you’ve ever tried to learn a new language or any skill of that matter, you’ll know that the process truly is a rollercoaster. You get your highs and dopamine hits as well as that feeling of “this is too hard, I will never get there.” But I think it’s important to recognise that all of that is completely natural and normal.

The thought of quitting has never even entered my mind, because I always think of the end goal. I truly believe that talent is 5%. What makes us reach our goals and dreams is persistence and consistency.

I think we create our own luck.

•

But, back to Korean. There’s SO much I still don’t understand. I read slowly, make mistakes frequently and tend to forget specific words I’ve learned over and over. At the same time I CAN read. I can create simple sentences and I can also understand simple sentences (when they’re spoken to me extremely slowly :D)

My point is—you see what you focus on which makes happiness and positive attitude a personal choice not a personality trait. We are a very impatient generation. We want things fast and we want them now. If things don’t happen immediately we doubt ourselves, our entire purpose, and meaning.

So, my recommendation to all the learners, dreamers and achievers—promise yourself that quitting is not an option (but remember that resting is required) and you will see how much you, a simple human, can do. Remember that progress is not linear. It’s not about giant leaps, it’s about baby steps. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality and consistency.

Have a beautiful week!

If you want to change your life in 2023, stop focusing on goals and habits. Instead, focus on something else…

2022 turned out to be the best year i’ve ever had and I don’t think it’s a coincidence. By the end of 2021, I made a single resolution for the next year and that resolution completely changed my life and led me to find happiness, fulfilment, and peace.

In this video I want to share what I have learned and understood about our identities, habits, and resolutions and give you both a backstory on how i got here today, plus a 4-step guide on what you should do if you want to change your life in 2023.

I don’t consider myself an expert on happiness, but i do think we can all learn to be experts in our own happiness.

Hope you enjoy this video and have a wonderful, beautiful 2023! ❤️

If you can’t stop caring what others think of you, you’re not alone. In fact, most of us at one point or another have worried about other people opinions and felt pressured to look, think, or act a certain way.

In this video I want to take you through a 3-part journey and give you tools that will help you become more confident in the person you are. We’ll discuss people pleasing, self-love, confidence, and one of my favourite mantras i frequently say to myself.

How to lose weight?

Like most things in life, the actual answer is simple and probably known by everyone—calories in vs calories out. However, human behaviour, emotions, and thoughts tend to be much more complex. It’s this beautiful complexity that makes the weight loss process not as easy for most people.

So, in this video I want to talk about how to lose weight and be fit forever. When I say forever, i’m not trying to be “clickbaity”. Forever to me means sustainable and doable across our life span. Because if the weight loss is not sustainable, we don’t want it.

The restrictive mindset, quick diets, and dangerous weight loss teas are OUT. A healthy relationship with food, love towards your body, and baby step improvements are IN.

Let’s talk healthy foods, my most favourite type of movement, the importance of sleep, stress reduction, and many many more things that will lead to a happier, healthier, and fitter you!

Is the Universe trying to tell me something? 🌙

This is a question probably all of us have asked at one point or another. Some, like me, ask the Universe, some ask God, some trust in basic psychology, and some think it's all science anyway.

No matter what you believe in or who or what is the recipient for your question. We all ask it. We all want to know, am I doing what i'm supposed to be doing? Are there signs that are given to me?

In this video I’m sharing 4 signs the Universe is trying to tell you something. We’ll discuss what the signs are, how they present themselves, and most importantly what they might mean.

Have a magical, wonderful week!

In today’s video we’re discussing why everyone should watch the movie Yes Man. While from the first glance, it might just seem as a regular comedy starring the legendary Jim Carrey, it’s truly more than that.

The movie tells a story about a man who says no to life. No to opportunities, no to outgoings, no to friends, no to living. When one day through a set of events, he decides to visit a “Yes Man” seminar and from that day on agrees to say Yes to everything. And I mean everything.

The movie portrays how much your life can change and take you to places you never imagined just by opening yourself up. And as you'll learn from the video, I love this film so much that have seen it countless of times!

Hope this video inspires you to watch the movie and say yes to the is beauty we call life. ❤️

Yes, I took myself out on a date.

And while I’m used to enjoying some meaningful me time, I had never had a proper date with myself. This was truly a magical experience filled with tasty food, art, and revelations about life and love.

I hope this video inspires you to go on a solo date, as well as reminds you that the most meaningful relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself.

And while I've always known that true happiness is something i aspire to achieving, it took me some time to learn that it’s not so much found as created.

I think we can often be so focused on getting rid of all the toxic people and toxic energies that we forget to take a step back and look at our own actions. It’s very unlikely that the problem is always exterior. I strongly believe that all of us at one point or another have been toxic, because, hey, we are all human and we all learn as we go :)

Jealousy, betrayal, nasty comments—In this video I’m drawing from personal experience and sharing 5 top signs that indicate some toxic behaviour patterns in us. But don’t worry. Even if you recognize those patterns in you, You can always grow, learn, and become the best version of you. ❤️

So, how to know if you are the toxic friend? Watch the video to find out...

I’ve always loved long walks and for the last couple of months had religiously gathered at least 10k steps daily, so I thought why not challenge myself a bit more and try to do 20k daily? And so I did. I walked 20,000 every day for 30 days.

In this video I take you with me on my journey and share all the amazing benefits I gained, including reduced stress and anxiety, mental clarity, and even weight loss. However, a challenge is not a challenge without some unexpected struggles…

As a small content creator, the word algorithm crosses my brain almost daily. Because of this competitive industry, it’s natural to want to know the secrets on how to rank on youtube, how to rank on TikTok, or how to rank on other social media platforms. And while, views, likes, and subscribers are the key to getting more popular and potentially trending, thinking of these things constantly can be exhausting.

In this video I talk all about the little monster we know as algorithm and share my story on how it has affected my creation process. I also share some of my realisations that have helped me focus less on all the SEO stuff and more on bringing high-value, quality content to my audience.

Hope you enjoy this video!
