The true secret of happiness lies in the taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

What are your details of today? What is your focus right now? Have you really thought about what details in your life and making every day special?

And today I share one of my favorite basic asanas. It’s #urdvamukhasvanasana aka upward facing dog! A deep backbend, anterior tilt and heart opener.

Something I learned, when I return from a flight ✈️, I take the next day completely off. No appointments. No calls. Nothing.

I was used to hurry around all the time. Sitting still, doing nothing Felt so hard for me. Because I was thinking, if I take myself off, I am not loveable.
I turned the sentence into: I am allowed to take me off as many times I want. And it improves my productivity.

Do you have a same dogma or a dogma you changed?!?
Let me know below! 💋

Even though I'm dead tired right now, after over 13 hours of flying, the return journey home, and and and, and, I'm infinitely happy that I was able to fly and fly to Singapore. Why? Because flying opens my horizon every time. It shows me what problems really are, and that the sensitivities and worries I often take on are the worries and problems that other people have with me. Or rather the problems they have with themselves. And so it is again today. In the past, I would probably have reacted very differently to a situation that has happened again today. And now, I let it pass me by, with the basic trust in me that there is no reason for me to act, let alone to doubt my self-esteem. And that is what I want to give you on the way. Even without flying. Open yourself and your horizon. Create a vision instead of a focus. Of course a focus is important and good. But in certain things, it helps you see the big picture. And to remember who you really are.
you are first allowed to save a person on this earth, and this is you.

Listen to your intuition. Listen on the voice in you. Feel more, turn the mind off. Allow yourself to trust in you and then move your glorious mess upwards.

Happy Friday and plank goals #alobacktoschool

Sometimes you have to close chapters. That’s the reason why am posting today at a very unusual time for me. I’m sitting right now here at 7 AM in the morning in Singapore. In a hotel room. Being in room quarantine. Why it’s about 1 AM in the morning in Germany. And just a few minutes ago I have sent of my last exam for my bachelor. I stopped studying four years ago. After failing in an exam 2 times and having a very sad communication with my former professor. I skipped it about four years.
Just because I thought I’m just stupid, I am not clever enough, I’m not intelligent enough and I have absolutely no talent to study. That was hacked into my head. This year corona offered me the possibility to work less, and to close this chapter. Of course I had the option to say I let it go. I don’t finish it. But I never would let it go cause I want it, I would let it go to not deal with the painful experience. Of course I felt a lot of times not very proud about myself. Seeing other people rushing through the bachelor and masters degrees. While I was stocking in the state of nowhere. What I learned and I want to share it with you. Don’t let others decide who you are and what you can do. We all have our story. And those stories are stuffed with individual stories.

Don’t judge about someone when you don’t know the whole story behind it. When someone tells you you are to stupid, you know immediately, this is the person you can sort out with a smile. Because you are loving people because of the character. And this goes to all those people who always cheated on me, who said we are your friends but we don’t believe in you Maike. I’m closing this chapter here in Singapore being in a room quarantine with a glass of champagne and smiling at the possibility to close this chapter with such a nice memories in times of COVID-19....

and this goes as well to the one and only being that loves me unconditionally for who I am, right in front of me. His name is Simba ❤️

Have the courage to be disliked. Or to be liked for who you truly are.

Winning doesn’t always mean being first. Winning means you’re doing better than you’ve done before. Have you read my coaching and transformation Tipp yesterday?? If not!!! Do it now 🌟! I use a lot of coaching tools in my yoga practice! Why? It helps me to understand me better, like accepting that development and progress takes time. I use my #pinchamayurasana progress an one. When I fail in it and struggle to get in the shape in want to do? What’s the reason behind the feeling of failing? It’s not the shape. It’s the feeling and the Experience I connect with e.g. failing. Ask yourself: what can I learn if things doesn’t work out like I want??
