Change of lifestyle: The 'have it all' mindset

What is the problem of wanting it all? To want a successful career, a steady relationship, time with your kids, an active social life, healthy habits. Some people will tell you it is impossible. I'd say: Nothing is impossible, it's always a matter of priorities and mindset. Before I went to Germany, I was working a 40 hour-job, I was married yet no kids. I used to spend a considerable amount of time laying on the couch binge-watching. I smoked a lot and made all kind of excus

The Power of Connection: How to connect your way to a new job

Changing jobs is a nightmare for some whereas an opportunity for others. Some thrive when changing careers, while others shrink only by the thought of it. How come does it feel so frightening to change jobs for some? While others see it as an obvious next step? Why is changing careers seen as an impossibility for some people? While for others it is the beginning of an adventure? I'd say that uncomfortableness is an underneath feature in both cases. After all we are talking ab

Coping and connecting through change

When was the last time you felt connected to change in your life? A decade ago, a week ago, yesterday? Change happens to each one of us. Every day. Even when unnoticed. We go through small changes and big changes. We change others and are changed by them. What may feel completely different is when you are the enabler of change, rather than being a mere observer. In this case, change is not just happening to you but you become an active part of change. You feel connected to wh

Changing career paths: The pursuit of a job, a career or Ikigai?

There are boring and stressful days at work, no way to argue with that. Does it mean you hate your job? I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. Yet I’d ask you how you generally feel about the work you do. Is it a source of satisfaction? Does it fulfill your potential? Is it aligned with your values and strengths? In case you have answered ‘no’ to all of the above, it might be time for change. It is likely not the first time you hear the term Ikigai, a Japanese word meaning a reason

Identity crisis: How to let your inner lighthouse light the way?

Have you ever entered a lighthouse? If you have not, just picture its typical shape. It has a wide base that tapers to the top. As you enter, you have room to walk around and even have a cozy and relaxing area. As soon as you start climbing those steep stairs, it is almost like walking on a different dimension. Until you reach the top and have a breathtaking 360-degree view. There are thousands of lighthouses worldwide, which despite their alikeness, each has their shape and

Time for Transition: How is that hamster wheel working for you?

Think about a hamster wheel. What do you picture? Do you see the little hamster running in endless circles? Have you ever wondered where is he going in such a hurry putting up on that effort? Well, this could be you or me, maybe someone you know. We stay on that hamster wheel and we run proudly, looking busy and determined. For someone looking from the outside, it may seem we have it all figured out. Speed is not a problem, as we are familiar with it. Exhaustion could become

Change: Is it always for the best?

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you start second guessing your decisions? You are no longer satisfied at your job, so you start thinking about finding a new one. Or you are fed up with your current apartment and decide it’s time to move out. This could even mean moving to another town or city including moving away from family, friends, colleagues, neighbors.
