Trustfall

Image
  The next right thing, like stepping stones  on a lake.   Only now in touch with self can you decide.   A trustfall in the moment, a trustfall in yourself, a trustfall in God.   Take a leap    

Open

Image
  Open your eyes and you shall find more to this world than a rational mind. Humans are friendly, hepful and kind, bring to this world a heart full of light. What you give, is what you recieve, what you speak, becomes what you believe.   So, I say, open your heart to the world for it to open up to you. Pursue your dreams for them to come true. Be mindful of what you think, bad habits don't vanish in one blink, but with good intention and consistency you can alter your perception almost easily.

Rice Curry

 Curry is one of my favourite vegan recipes, because it has so many benefits: It contains good fats, can be served with different kinds of protein like chickpeas and rice, can contain a lot of vegetables and still is so very yum! Especially since a friend of mine suggested adding some sieved tomatoes, which just adds a richness a flavour.   Rice Curry Preparing time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Ingredients for 2 portions: whole-grain rice 1/2 broccoli 1 carrot 1/4 zucchini 3 tbls of corn 250 ml of coconut milk 150 ml of sived tomatoes salt  pepper curry spice tumeric paprica powder Ras el-Hanout Method: Set the rice up to cook for about 30 minutes and prepare the rest during the cooking time.

Stress Less

Image
 We are not able to control life, but we are able to control our reactions to life.     Title: Stress Less Authors: Matthew Johnstone & Dr. Michael Player Publisher: Macmillan Australia   Set up Stress Less is a self-help book to improve your ability to cope with difficult situations and to decrease the tendency to react with stress. It consist of an helpful mixture providing psychoeducation, self-reflection and self-helping techniques. The book encourages to act directly in the process of reading by taking notes on self-reflections or imbedded daily/ weekly exercises.   Review Stress Less though full of knowledge is great fun to read. Lots of well done and relatable illustrations designed by Matthew Johnstone ease away the fear of a dry communication of facts. The drawback of this kind of style is a slight inaccuracy when relating complex workings of the mind. As a psychology student, I'm aware of those and a little disturbed, but I also have to admi...

Love is not easy

Image
  Time flies by too fast and too slow at the same time. It almost makes me cry how much I love you to be mine. I want you always by my side, because through you life is bright. But when you are gone and be it only for a day, the sun of my life, that shone, seems much too far away. And I'm scared, day in day out, because our love seems much too sound, but also grateful, amazed and jubilating for every day so tender and in making, that proves us: What we have found is true love beyond any doubt!
