It’s been a while since I last sat down to write a blog post. Life lately has been a swirl of projects, emails, and plans that seem to multiply overnight. But beneath all that busyness, something deeper has been unfolding, a slow, quiet kind of healing. For months, my world revolved around recovery. The crash […]
It started on a quiet evening when I was sitting at my desk, staring at an old vision board I made years ago. The corners had curled, the images had faded, but something about it still pulled me in. There was a photo of a woman standing on a mountain, arms open wide. Another of […]
A Morning Moment That Changed Everything It started with something so small I almost missed it.One quiet morning, I was washing my cup after breakfast. The sunlight hit the kitchen sink just right, and the warm water ran gently over my hands. I wasn’t thinking about my to-do list or my phone. For a few […]
It was a rainy Sunday afternoon when I found myself sitting quietly at a small café near my apartment. My laptop was open, a half-finished cup of green tea beside me, and my search bar filled with “best self-help books to read.” The list was endless. Titles that promised to change your life in 30 […]

A Walk Around the Building A loop around my apartment building is about 500 meters. Normally, that would sound like nothing to me.

Why Your Mornings Matter Have you ever rolled out of bed, reached straight for your phone, and felt drained before the day even started? I have been there. In university, I sometimes hit snooze multiple times, rush through breakfast, and arrive in class already tired. It was not that I was sleeping too little. It […]
The quiet power of 10 minutes Every night, before I close my eyes, there is a ritual I never skip. After journaling, I pick up a book and spend just 10 minutes reading. Nothing fancy. No marathon chapters. Just a pocket of time for my mind to wander into another world. Lately, it has been […]
A quiet pause that changes everything It was just a normal evening. I was walking home after training, headphones in, the city buzzing around me. Then suddenly, I looked up. The sky was painted in soft shades of pink and purple, and for a moment, everything slowed down. I stopped in my tracks. No rush, […]
A quiet page, a noisy mind The other night I sat down with my notebook, exhausted from training and buzzing with a hundred unfinished thoughts. Work tasks, triathlon schedules, messages I hadn’t replied to, it all felt like a noisy room in my head. I opened a blank page, wrote “Okay, what’s bothering me right […]
