I haven’t always understood what quality or luxury

I haven’t always understood what quality or luxury meant to me.

But I’ve spent a good part of my adult life trying to find my answer.

The older I get, the less attached I feel to quick entertainment that used to feel to attractive when I was young

And the more I am only interested in the things that don’t fade with time.

Knowing what creates a high-quality life for me was one of the most important questions I’ve ever answered for myself.

What about you - do you know what luxury means to you? 💎

Sending love,

The way I see it, taking action on the boundaries

The way I see it, taking action on the boundaries we want others to respect

Is exactly how we show them that we respect our boundaries, first.

When this is the case, a boundary can’t “not work”, because we protect ourselves with the actions we take.

And very often, our self-commitment is exactly what inspires the change we desired to see in others. ✨

What is your relationship with boundaries? Are they easy, something you’re working on or completely mastered by now? 🥷

I would love to know! 🫶

I grew up believing that the more convenient I was

I grew up believing that the more convenient I was, the better I was doing as a human.

And what makes someone convenient? It’s adaptability.

You enter a room or a team or a conversation - and read what the people in it expect.

What kind of tone? What kind of personality? What kind of opinions, hobbies, topics?

You read the person they would like & appreciate - and you become that…

That’s what I believed a good person to be - someone who shape-shifts and doesn’t make waves.

But living this way ended up exhausting me.

What I did not see for years was that every time I adapted, in fact I was betraying myself.

Pretending that I was someone I wasn’t
Pretending I wanted to go out when I didn’t
Pretending that I didn’t care when I did.

At some point I realised - always putting others first wasn’t kindness, it was self-neglect.

And the reason why I was exhausted was because I was constantly dismissing my own experience.

So I started changing. Bit by bit I learned to listen to what I wanted before what was expected.

I started saying no, disagreeing, and doing the unexpected thing.

Of course, not everyone liked it - turns out, some people were in my life precisely because I was convenient.

But those who stayed, stayed because of who I really was - with my personality and needs and the whole package, which is not meant to always be convenient.

And as much as adapting to everyone was exhausting, following my inner compass became energising.

Now I protect, nourish, and take care of my energy by following my own needs, so that when I do say yes to something

It’s because my energy, excitement and engagement are 100% behind it. ⚡️

And in this way, it’s a win both for me and for the people around me.

→ Where are you too easily adapting and could benefit from putting yourself first more?

Legalise it because this is real kindness, everyone will eventually benefit from it. 💜

The older I get, the more seriously I take my job

The older I get, the more seriously I take my job to generate joy.

To plan holidays
To take quality time off
To laugh & smile wholeheartedly

I’ve always intuitively prioritised joy in my life.

But I’ve equally met so much resistance from people around me about it.

There are people who pride themselves on being serious, on hustling, on being everything for everyone.

Yes there are moments in life to be serious, but what fun is life going to be if all we do is be serious all day??

So for me, joy is something I proactively seek out, take time to notice, and inentionally schedule in.

& it’s a skill.

So many people withhold a sincere smile, skip moments to appreciate the beauty around them, or don’t know how to relax even if nothing’s on the agenda!

That’s because most of us grew up in a culture that told us: busy-ness and seriousness are good, rest & play are secondary and childish. 🙈

I would say, it’s the other way around. 😏

Only knowing how to savour the good in life *now* can you make sure you will also know how to enjoy life when you have a break from all the busy-ness.

We get better with enjoying the good in life as we practice it.

It didn’t always come natural to me. But with practice I’ve realised eventually even the busy-ness becomes enjoyable. ✨✨✨

We overload our minds with whatever anyone else is

We overload our minds with whatever anyone else is doing and it’s not healthy!

What if we reframed that? 🍀

What if wherever you are now will make sense in the end?

What if you’re not misfitting some societal standard but are in the process of setting a new one? 😏

How cool is that?🫶🫶

Hey, I’m Karolina 👋 I spent a long time looking f

Hey, I’m Karolina 👋

I spent a long time looking for my way to a fulfilling life…

& had my hopes shattered more times than I can count before I found it! 🌋

The truth is:

I resisted looking for an answer in my feelings

Because that was the last place I was told to look! I also didn’t know how.

Instead, I thought: “if I can just add this one new thing {job, relationship, activity} *then* it will feel like it should feel…

I feel lucky now my body eventually gave me the guidance.

Over time, instead of ignoring or masking my feelings, I started to carefully listen to them.

Bit by bit, my life started to change.

• I no longer sacrifice body needs for work or achievements.

• No longer sacrifice personal needs for relationships.

• And no longer compromise who I am for acceptance.

I realise now that, just like the body, our feelings are the greatest guidance to all the things we truly want.

We just have to know how to listen and interpret them instead of judging and rejecting them

Like we are often taught…

That’s been my biggest discovery so far!

And it’s what I’m here to help you with, too.

So your life can feel in alignment with every piece of you - just like it should.

Tell me if this resonates with you!

Hope that you stick around 💜
