Walking along the crest of the Carnic High Route or as they call it the Peace Trail.

Sometimes we confuse happiness with contentment. By happiness we define those strong euphoric moments that we are longing for over and over again. As quickly as those emotional outbursts enter your life, they are gone. Not very reliable indeed, whereas contentment is a way longer lasting feeling. A tone set for our life. Instead of craving for more happiness we should strive for more contentment as it is ever lasting and sets a tone for a healthy, balanced lifestyle while outbursts of happiness will come along all naturally, this to me is the key on our journey we call life. Happy weekend everyone

Life is all about trusting yourself and your abilities ✌️ Sometimes life throws you into little storms that might not seem to end. Only to practice patience and endurance to in the end find out it will be fine because it is you to decide to steer your path or just follow ✨

I often get asked this question: Do you believe in destiny? This force that steers our future without being able to control it? Honestly I don't - Of course we all wish there was a power to blindly follow sometimes, some guiding light in a world that tries to more and more confuse ourselves, some easy path which makes decision making unnecessary. But in the end we ourselves have the incredible ability to steer our energy into the direction we want to go while surrounding us with people we love to be with in places we crave to see while creating the life we dream about. So we better enjoy this gift instead of letting others abuse it.

Thanks my wonderful friends for still being with me ❤️ I needed a break from what has happened and truly focus on myself. The past couple of weeks have been an intense confrontation of life, death and emotions. Thoughts of emptiness and failure crossed my mind, so did freedom and happiness. On my journey I realized that emotions are not there to be judged but to be understood, this way we eliminate fear and find the courage to let go. The past has powerful effects on the self and this is why it is important to see a purpose in everything that is happening to us in the present to discover mindfulness and freedom, freedom from pain. Once we learn to forgive and accept  ourselves we love more deeply in a way as it should be ~ let's continue this journey together 💛

2017 will be more about stillness as I realized there is still a lot to be processed. Nevertheless I am glad to be given this second life and am excited for whatever will come ✨

When I was you younger I sometimes had those strange moments of not feeling 100% comfortable under my skin. Not feeling good enough, not feeling that I belong. Time and patience have taught me to love and trust myself, not only my body, but also my soul. To enjoy my own company and to even laugh about my little chaotic cosmos that sometimes drives me into confusion. We should all be proud of who we are, women or men, of what we already have achieved and were we are heading while trying to be the most honest version we can be 💦

Cabin life, Austria.

I was about to check the sunrise while locking myself out of the cabin I stayed on this five day hike I did through the carnic Alps high above more than 2000 masl  While waiting in the cold suddenly the clouds broke up and I witnessed this stunning sunrise.

Stillness is hard - often harder than movement. It is like flying in one of those empty spaces. No knowing where to go and what to do. I am honest - I am in one of those spaces right now realizing stillness can often bring loneliness and a deep feeling of being lost. Without guidance. Vulnerable. Self doubt.  It takes bravery to stay strong and not let this stage be abused by society, but we all know we are able to 🍃
