My motivation
#spreadthelove
01
The desire to be pain-free in this world
My greatest motivation is to ensure less pain and more healing in this world. It has always hurt my heart to see people suffer, to see the despair in their eyes and to feel the pain right down to the cells of their bodies. My greatest wish is to help people to experience less pain and more fulfillment, peace, love and freedom.
02
The magic of life
Even if we often can't believe it, there is so much more to this world than what we can see with the naked eye. Where would we be without magic? Without a little magic, without glitter? For me, the foundation of my being is to integrate the invisible, the magical, into my life and the lives of others to create more possibilities, wonders and surprises.
03
Inner and outer freedom
I want people to be able to live a free and self-determined life. A major obstacle to this are old, destructive beliefs, painful experiences or traumatic events and, above all, our own childhood. How we see the world, what we believe in, what possibilities and opportunities, but also our limitations and dead ends are decided in the first years of our lives. As soon as a child is conceived, it begins to perceive feelings (from its mother), learns (physically) what kind of place this world is and what dangers lurk. We are usually unaware of these imprints, patterns of action and thought constructs, which (unconsciously) determine our live. Bringing this to the surface and taking a fresh look at it creates a tangible inner and outer freedom.
04
The heart - our compass
I believe that our heart is the basis for everything we bring into the world, how we treat other people and, above all, how happy we are. We often take paths that perhaps meet the expectations of others, society or our family, but are far from what is really inside us. Especially not our essence. For me, the heart is the common thread that guides us through life and the more we can follow the voice of our heart, the more fulfilled and happy we are.
But perceiving our heart also means feeling what hurts, feeling what has hurt or destroyed us, sometimes it also means saying no or breaking new ground. And we are afraid of that. So we prefer to numb our inner compass and pay the price (imbalance, dissatisfaction, restlessness, despair, stress, etc.).
My motivation is to help as many people as possible to hear the whisper of their heart again and to have the courage to follow this voice.
My strengths & weaknesses
I am the one who ..
has a zest for life and feels and expresses enthusiasm, but also pain, very strongly. I can be very contagious with my enjoyment and my powerful nature and I am happy to take you with me into my emotional explosion. Perhaps this is precisely my advantage when it comes to guiding others through their emotions and helping them to lose their fear of their own feelings.
Enthusiasm, strong feeling and experiencing
enjoys traveling and getting to know new cultures. Even a weekend trip helps me to change my thoughts, sort myself out and regain clarity. I am very open-minded and can relate well to different circumstances, traditions or areas of the world. It is incredibly enriching for me to get to know other points of view, ways of life and traditions and to broaden my horizons.
Travel enthusiast, explorer & building bridges
always asks the most questions. I was a very curious and interested person from an early age, which has stayed with me to this day. I love learning new things, pursuing my interests and soaking up new knowledge.
Curious & interested, enthusiastic about learning & hungry for knowledge
understands you without you needing many words. I read your eyes, feel your pain and can empathize with your struggles as well as your successes. My honest and direct approach can sometimes feel challenging, but I have learned for myself that the more honest we are with ourselves, the more clarity and direction we can create in our lives. Lying to yourself in the long run has never done anyone any good, but being honest with yourself can work wonders.
Empathy & understanding // Clarity & honesty
I am the one who ...
experienced powerlessness and helplessness very often. Most of the time it feels as if the world is against me and I can't defend myself against it. Sometimes I manage to switch from victim mode to creator mode, sometimes not. And it hurts me to see when I feel like I can't stand up for myself or make a difference in my life or the lives of others.
Powerlessness
who will always be the first to criticize themselves. Who questions herself and is often very quick to devalue what is different about her and declare it 'wrong' or 'bad'. I tend to have strong normative ideas in my head about how I should be and anything that doesn't correspond to these images is categorically rejected first.
Self-condemnation & self-deprecation
has already overcome many fears in her life. My fear is often a major stumbling block on my path and keeps holding me back from taking new directions. Thoughts and worries about the future, doubts about "Is what I'm doing really good enough?" accompany me almost every day.
Fears & Doubts
is always impatient and can never move fast enough. Especially when it comes to wishes and visions, uncomfortable situations or challenging times, it often takes me too long and quickly prevents me from being in the now and accepting the moment as it is.
Impatience
