The past two weeks I have been watching all 4 seasons of The Bold Type on Netflix. Something I haven't done for years, because I was only focusing on working. I told myself to watch less Netflix and focus more on books and podcasts. This has been an amazing journey, but while watching The Bold Type I really appreciated the fact that I can watch series whenever I want. Even binge watching was fun! In one of the last episodes Jacqueline Carlyle, played by Melora Hardin, told Jane Sloan, played by Katie Stevens, 'Everyone has their own timeline' and I felt that one so deeply that I decided to use it as my blog and podcast title.

This is something I wish I realised earlier or people would have told me clearer when I was younger. Everyone has their own timeline. I didn't realise this in my twenties. Working for more than 40 hours a week, seeing my friends, spending time with my love, traveling, a new study, visiting friends and also following dance classes and running a few times a week. I was doing it all and it put me in a constant state of high pressure. I wanted to keep up with.. I don't know what. Until I realised this was not the life I wanted to have and I started minimising everything. My angenda all of a sudden had empty spaces, I spent more time on myself, I started enjoying everything in the moment and I found quality in everything I did.

As children we are happy, enthusiastic, impulsive, reckless, curious and free. We are even proud of everything we achieve. We are open books and can talk for hours without worrying what the other might think. The pure, raw, authentic person is present all the time. It's only when we grow older and become aware of opinions, gossip, the system we live in, experiences and fears that others put on us, that we start to change. We change into persons with beliefs and act upon those beliefs. Conscious and unconscious. This is stopping us from doing what we love and being this happy, enthusiastic, impulsive, reckless, curious and free person. But luckily there is a way back to this inner-child and this all starts with letting go of everything that's stopping you from being the real you.

In my Online Program StorySelling, this is what we do in the first module. I do this because I think it's very important to be aware of what's stopping you from going all in and be fully yourself. Also in the online world people appreciate it the most when they see real stories. And when you're real and 100% yourself, you can move mountains and achieve everything you want to achieve. Why? Because you're confident with who you truly are, you feel happy because you live an authentic life and people compliment you for your honesty.

Do you remember that when you were younger people told you not to say your dreams out loud because they will not come true if you do? Well friend, I can tell you it's the exact opposite. If you want your dreams to come true, start telling them to everyone and repeat them until you believe they will come true. Because if you deeply desire something, believe it will happen, take inspired action and then focus on your daily life, the Universe will do its best to give you everything you want.  

Yes, I'm this manifestation girl who loves Law of Attraction and is very focused on having this amazing dream life. I am experiencing the LOA every day, because I focus on it and know very well what I send out to the Universe. When I was not consciously focusing on attracting abundance, I was actually attracting things I really didn't want. I will explain to you how this works.

Why you also get what you don't want

Everything you put out in the Universe, you attract. That's why it's called Law of Attraction. There's a famous saying 'where focus goes, energy flows'. So it's very important to be aware of your thoughts. Are you focusing on the things you do want or are you focusing on the things you don't want? I will give you an example of what happened to me. Something I really didn't want.

When people think of minimalism they often see someone living off the grid in a tree house somewhere in the middle of nowhere. A person with many animals, who is eating vegan meals and lives a sustainable lifestyle. When you enter this person's home it has only the necessary basic items. But what if I tell you that Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein & Leonardo Da Vinci were minimalists too?Actually, the three men I mentioned above all have their own famous sayings.

Steve Jobs setup an extremely successful business, Apple, with his main lesson ''Simplify Complexity''. Also in his private life he believed in a minimalistic approach. Did you know one of the things he owned was a picture of Albert Einstein, who he admired greatly? Albert Einstein also led a very simple life and embraced minimalism. He said: ''Lead a Simple Life''. And Leonardo Da Vinci once said: ''Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication''.What are the benefits of being a minimalist?

I would like to take the time to explain what minimalism means to me and why this lifestyle is giving me so much rest, focus, time & money.

First of all I would like to say that, for me, Minimalism is a Mindset. In everything I do, I think simple. What's the fastest, most simple, most sustainable, most productive and most affordable way to do this? It's a challenge to find simplicity in everything I do. When I found that way it eventually saves me a lot of time and money, I learn a lot from it and I came up with the most sustainable way of doing it, so my decision is the best for the planet.I will give you a few simple examples in this episode.
