Heute teile ich ein Interview mit dir, dass ich mit einem Freund, den ich aus dem Studium kenne, aufgenommen habe. Vor ab: in dieser Folge wird seeehr viel gelacht, mach dich gefasst und bereit zum Mitlachen!

Das Gespräch hat mich selbst so berührt und inspiriert und ich bin mir sicher, dass du auch sehr vieles Wertvolles für dich daraus mitnehmen kannst. Jusup teilt mit uns…

- wie er damit umgeht, dass er so „verkopft“ ist

- was er früher getan hat, um bloß keinen Fehler zu machen und was er dann daraus gelernt hat

- wie er seine Ziele formuliert

- was für ihn Spiritualität und Meditation ist und wie er es in seinen Alltag integriert

- das Fundament für die drei Säulen: Gesundheit – Tätigkeiten – Beziehung 

- seine Ernährungsumstellung von täglich mehreren Eiern zu gar keinen Eiern

- seine Gedanken zu Schule und was er gerne anders machen würde

- warum ihm seine Kindheit als zukünftige Lehrperson helfen kann

- die eigenen Gedanken als Angebote zu sehen

- seine Gedanken zu seinem eigenen Glaubenssatz, dass das Leben ein Kampf ist

- inwiefern unsere Visionen mit der Motivation an unseren Zielen zu arbeiten verknüpft sind

Today I´m sharing the last Daily Gratitude episode with you. And I´m so glad to have my two friends joining me on this one. Each one of us shares what we are grateful for. While I have been editing this episode, I had to laugh so much and I once again realised how grateful I am for my friends and in general making memories with people I love.

I hope you enjoyed these Daily Gratitude episodes and that they reminded you that there is so much to be thankful for in every moment of our lives.

Today I am sharing my thoughts about doing what´s right and not what´s easy.

I believe this year and especially in the last few months I started consciously picking up rubbish when I see it. In the beginning it was simply picking up bigger pieces of rubbish that I saw. Now though, in the last few days when I saw a piece I right away saw the next piece.. Now it feels like almost everywhere I look I see rubbish, and I can´t stop it anymore, I have to pick it up.

I´m also sharing other situations in life where “Do what´s right, not what´s easy” can be applied to.

Today I´m grateful for talking to new people, people you don´t know yet.

Today my niece is three months old already and I thought for this episode I want to share with you what I did on the day she was born. I talk about “tiny beginning – infinite possibility” which are the words I saw on a card. They are the base of my jam session which I did on the day my niece was born. I share the recording with you at the end of the episode.

Here is the link to the song “1955” by Hilltop Hoods feat. Montaigne & Tom Thum:

I´m so excited to have one of my really good friends on the podcast today. Let me introduce MARK to you! He´s Australian and is teaching us some Aussie words in this episode. It was so much fun to record this with him. Which means there is lots of laughing in this episode which I´m pretty sure will make you laugh too, simply because he is THE best.

We also talk about:

- how we met

- German terms Mark knows

- Aussie food like ‘fairy bread’ and ‘sausage sizzle’

- the sound typical Australian birds make (with Mark imitating them!)

- musicals

In this episode Mark mentions:

Heute habe ich ein Interview mit einem so tollen Herzensmenschen, für den ich unendlich dankbar bin, dass er in mein Leben getreten ist. JULIA von HAPPINESS INFIZIERUNG!!! Wir kennen uns heute seit genau 7 Wochen, aber es kommt mir vor als ob wir uns schon ewig kennen würden. Wir haben in den letzten paar Wochen schon so viel miteinander gelacht, uns gegenseitig inspiriert und motiviert und wunderschöne wertvolle Gespräche geführt. Ich bin jetzt schon so dankbar für diese Freundschaft, die wir hier gerade gemeinsam aufbauen und freue mich auf alles was kommt. Nun komme ich endlich mal zum Interview – neben ganz viel Lebenslust und Lachen gehen wir unteranderem auf Julia‘s Depression ein. Sie teilt mit uns…

- wie ihr Klinikaufenthalt das Sprungbrett in ihr neues Leben war

- ihre Antwort auf “Why me?“

- ihren Umgang mit Gefühlen

- was Achtsamkeit für sie bedeutet

- was passierte als sie sich selbst erlaubte groß zu träumen

- auf die innere Stimme zu hören und dem eigenen Herzen zu folgen

- ihre Erfahrungen in der Arbeit mit Kindern

Hier der Link zu Julia‘s Podcast „HAPPINESS INFIZIERUNG“ schau vorbei und lass ein bisschen Liebe da.

Today I´m grateful for the fact that I have a choice and that we all have a choice. Most importantly though realising that our choices matter and have an impact on the world.

Today I´m garteful for our capability to visualise. Grateful for our minds that allow us so imagine things and visualise in as many different directions. With our minds we can get as creative as we allow ourselves to be like. I believe we are all using this tool unconsciously already, lets start  actively visualising a bright life.

In today’s Daily Gratitude episode, I´m sharing with you that I´m grateful for those little things that can put you in a good mood from one moment to another. For me this was a friend telling me I could come over to her place today. I was excited and in a better mood right away. I decided to put on those cool pants she gave me (definitely go listen to the episode if you want to find out about those pants haha). The crazy thing is that I could have worn those pants whenever but reading her text saying I could come kind of lead to a shift in my brain I guess telling me “YES, NOW is the time to wear those pants!!” (Lol I´m smiling so badly while typing this, because this is seriously what was going on in my mind in that moment) So anyways, I wore those pants today and just felt great! And there are other days, where it´s a song I hear and dance to that puts me in a good mood or a yummy breakfast, cooking something delicious, going for a nice walk and listening to a podcast, reading or talking to a friend – the list goes on and on… But yeah what is it for you that you found can put you in a better mood? Find those things and then remind yourself of them, whenever you feel like your mood is going down a little bit.

Today I am grateful that we get to choose every single day.

“Wake up, put a smile on your face. Be grateful, grateful you woke up today”. This is the first line of my song “choose” that I shared with you on May 16th, 2020.

Can you imagine what our world would be like if every being out there start there day with gratitude and a smile, instead of a mind full of worrying thoughts and thoughts about what they need to do and should get done today. Rather, I want to encourage you today to see every day as a gift, YOU get to choose every day how you want to spend your life.

Because our life is really just all our days add up together. Therefore, you are already living a life. But today realise that you live your life and that you can make the most of it. Who or what is holding you back to live the life you want to live? I believe many times it´s just fear talking to us in our minds, trying to protect us. But imagine we would all choose love over fear, this world would be like a BIG party every single day.

Today I am grateful for our women bodies and how it is reminding us every single month to take a break and to rest. 

But even if you are a boy, I want to remind you with this episode that also you have that feminine energy within yourself and that also you have the right to take breaks and to take it slow.  We are all human beings who need time to reflect and pause from time to time, that´s how we give our minds the space to come up with new beautiful ideas. 

In this episode I also mention two beautiful yogis:

Today I am grateful for music. I can´t think of a day I don´t spend listening to music and singing. That´s why music definitely deserves its own episode in my "Daily Gratitude" episodes. I am sure I will be talking more about music on my podcast, simply because it is such a big part of my daily life and has always been.

Today I am grateful for "sunrise and sunset". And how I think we should take more time to watch those, because there are so unique and beautiful in their own way every single day. Do you regularly take the time to watch the sunrise and/ or sunset?

Hey:) 

I´m back with an episode in English! I´m sharing a fun trip and some of my thoughts. 

I talk about

- memories and how they will always be part of us

- trying new things and how proud it will make you feel

- things coming to an end but at the same time new things are happening 

- returning back home after travelling 

In the episode I mention the songs:

- Upside down by Jack Johnson, Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/0aJrYfARfCKzv6gXjhs4SZ?si=bxCDLlpoTXqqSw_YrkydrA 

Heute habe ich ein wundervolles Interview für dich, dass ich mit der lieben Carina aufgenommen habe. Es hat mich selbst so berührt und ich bin mir sicher, dass es auch viel in dir auslösen kann. Wir reden unter anderem über:

- Carinas Reise nach Bali, Indien und Neuseeland

- Die Entstehung von Leid oder Schmerz, den wir empfinden

- Ihr größtes Learning aus dem zehntägigem Vipassana Meditationskurs

- Das Universum hat einen Plan für unser Leben

- Das Erstellen eines Visionboards und dessen Kraft

- Das Privileg reisen zu können

- „Das Vertrauen, dass die Dinge, die passieren genau die Richtigen sind“

- Die eigenen Gefühle zu akzeptieren und sich mit dem Herz und dem Vertrauen zu verbinden.

Ich freue mich, wenn diese kurze Folge dich heute inspiriert dich zu trauen und endlich loszugehen!

Ich teile mit dir wie es für mich war, als ich angefangen habe der Stimme zuzuhören, die mir sagte, dieses Podcast zu starten. Ich gehe außerdem auf den Gedanken ein, dass du bereits genug bist so wie du bist!

In dieser Folge teile ich mein allererstes Interview mit dir. Ich freue mich so dieses inspirierende Gespräch, das ich mit der lieben Mira geführt habe, raus in die Welt zu bringen. In dieser Folge reden wir unter anderem über:

- Mira´s journey ihren Traum und ihre Vision zu leben

- Die Kraft der Visualisierung – DU erschafft deine Zukunft

- Wie Krisen hilfreich für uns sein können und Raum für Neues schaffen

- Die Stimme in uns die uns klein macht und uns zweifeln lässt nicht gut genug zu sein

- Wie Zeit im Ausland deinen Horizont erweitern kann

- „Herzensprojekte wachsen so oder so“

- Wie du Mira und ihr Herzensprojekt unterstützen kannst

- Jeder kann helfen, unterstützen und dazu beitragen einen Unterschied auf dieser Welt zu machen, auch DU.

Hier findest du die links zur Organisation und dem Fundraiser, wo du auch zur Petition gelangst.

Hey:)

Schön, dass du wieder da bist. In der heutigen Folge möchte ich meinem Papa „DANKE“ sagen. Anders als in der „DANKE MAMA“ Folge gehe ich heute aber deutlich ausführlicher auf alles ein...

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit dir über: 

- Die Geschichte meines Papas, wie er vor mehr als 40 Jahren aus dem Libanon nach Deutschland gekommen ist.

- Die Natur und wie viel wir von ihr lernen können - in dieser Folge besonders von „Wurzeln“

- Wie unglaublich wichtig es ist, dass DU glücklich bist.

Und noch viele weitere Themen.

Ich hoffe, dass dir die Folge gefallen hat.

Hey,

today I´m sharing my first episode in English with you.

I´m also chatting about the song “choose” I wrote today.

Let me know what you think!
