Hormone Couching week 5-6

Published by

Fifth week We start again with the liver supplement, but in a small dose. I really don’t want to be that bad moody again, that’s just not what I am looking for. I also don’t send any food pictures anymore. It is just annoying to make from everything a picture. It is sort of I don’t have control over my own life anymore. I have started instead an excel sheet with literary everything inside. That means what I drink, how much I drink, what I eat (and I mean everything), how much I have slept, what kind of sport I make and how long, and also how my mood is. I think you can say that you know everything about me after you have studied that sheet. After such a perfect weekend, I need to push me again to eat only vegetables, meat and fish again. I hope my energy level stays up because I realized that I need the sport for my mental and body health. This extreme low-carb diet is something for a …

Hormone Couching week 1 – 4

Published by

The first week The first week was pretty ok, my energy level was high and after a few days I could already see an improvement in my skin. Happy again. The second week My energy starts to drop down extremely. I feel just horrible down and I am always a stand-up person. I start to be tired as hell and make plenty of mistakes at work. You can imagine how that helps.  My couch and I are writing a few times a week that the mood can stay the hole time and that I should listen to my body and make as much sport as my body can do / need. My Body is extreme detoxing and need all his energy for that. I don’t make more than 2 times 30 min sport and one of them is just some stretching. Skin stays how it is. I also ask her because of the back pain problems, what is one main goal of me (to get rid of it) and that I was expecting way more. …

Couching – The Start

Published by

At the beginning of January 2021, my couching started. The expectations are high, so we will see how it works. I got my cleans liver (supplement for detox) finally and the first E-Mails are coming. I got in total 2 E-Mails. 1 with the program for me and some recipes, and the second just the normal bill. The first shock! The program says nothing, really. The first few pages telling me what was coming out of the test, that’s totally ok. The next pages just tell me what I already know, what are calories, what are carbohydrates… and what? No sport excises nothing. The recipes, well, every fitness couch has these things for free on their website. But nice try. It says what I should for example eat in the day and what I shouldn’t. But that’s sort of it. Her written down goals are also complete different from what I want! -losing 2-3 kilos ??? Really ??? -skin problems No note for the real deal. My back pains or stomach problems. Before I go …

Working for You or Someone else

Published by

I love it !! I love to wake up in the morning. I always jump out of my bed and can’t wait to go to work. Sometimes I just think already on Friday of Monday again. Ok that’s maybe a little overdone here but have you ever thought something like that while working for someone else? I don’t. I hear more like yeah I have studied and now I work in my field because everyone expected that I am doing that. No I don’t love my job but it gives me money to pay my rent and I can go in holidays. That’s more the regular thing I here. Lately I also here the next sentence:I try to get something else started that I can reduce or quit my job. I have the feeling there is a change coming in the working life. A change in the whole system. People don’t want to just work because it is necessary they want to work because they believe in the dream for what they are working. I …

OK – It is OK!

Published by

Do you know these days? Everything is just OK? Nothing is super exciting. Nothing is super bad. Everything is just looking OK. You’re sort of happy and it is quieten a bit down. You have wished for some relaxing days but now everything is OK, yeah just OK. It’s nothing special, it’s just nothing. It’s a word and feeling and you can’t get really hold on it. It’s just there. You start with asking yourself why there is nothing amazing happening because OK is just the average thing. We all want something. Something special, some action. In these action times, if it is too much we would love to have some off days but then while we have these days we don’t know what’s happen. These are days, who are floating away. These are days, you can’t get a grip on them. They are like water. Flowing around you and you don’t know if you can swim or if you are drowning but you can breathe anyway. It’s like a fluffy bubbly who surrounds you. …

The dream life

Published by

I am sitting in my chair, starring out of a window. I see a perfect green grass area with perfect trimmed trees and perfect looking benches. That is what I see. I walk around everything is clean and tidy. It looks surreal! I go home. I have a really nice big flat, a car before my door, a garden and a perfect view over the area. I have a good salary. I can safe something. I sit in this perfect flat and ask myself how would I feel if I would have more money? Would I feel the same? Would I be more happy? Everyone wants to have more! More Money, bigger cars, better jobs. I am happy where I am and no one understand it. I don’t have the need anymore to have more. For me is less, more. I throw clothes away because I don’t need them. I throw stuff away I don’t have used since years. Off course, I have hobby’s and a lot of them. I meet friends and I have …

Living and working in Iceland – week 2/3

Published by

Iceland is still one of the most fascinating country’s I have visited so far and yes that’s mostly because of the all-day changing nature. One minute it is snowing, then rain and a few minutes later it is perfect sunshine. This weather changes makes also my work pretty cool because the landscape is changing constantly. I know now already that the horse jobs are not a job what you can do your life long (was never my intention but who knows!). I already have realized that we should respect these people way more, doesn’t matter if they are just working in a normal stable and cleaning every day your horses box or if they are taking you from a to b. These people working 8-10 hours hard body work, still a lot of stress and getting mostly a bad pay. The one thing why they are doing it is – because they love their job! This is the most important reason! I am working here already 3 weeks long and not one day has felt …

Feeling behind in life

Published by

I know I write a lot of “don’t compare yourself to others” but sometimes here and there it is still popping up. I take now my situation I am “already” (How society says) 28 years don’t have a stable partner at the moment or a house what I need to pay off. In a few weeks hopefully I don’t have a car anymore. I literally only have my stuff in a room at my dad’s house and a horse at home, that’s what I have. And man I am happy! I am happy to travel the world. I am happy to be surrounded with people who have the same love for travel. I am happy to be all day outside. I am happy to be in different country’s to see different cultures and meet every day different people. I am happy to be free. On some days when my friends are writing and telling me from their lives I get a punch in my face, feeling bad and stuck. I know that some of my …

Working for a dream or working for money

Published by

Have you ever asked yourself why am I going to work? Are you going to work because you love your job or are you going to work because you want the money at the end of the month? In my life I have experienced both so far. I need to say that 90% in my last job I have not worked for the projects or the dreams who are staying behind creating houses. I was just doing it because it was my job to do it. My colleges have been really nice and the money was ok. I was feeling ok with what I am doing but I was looking that my over hours getting paid or that I get them free. In total, I can say I was happy and I was mostly happy when the right amount of money was in my bank account. In Iceland this is a different story. I am working here because I love my work. I love to show the people the landscape and I love the horse …

The truth over the job: architect

Published by

Since I have studied architecture and have some years of work experience I find it more and more annoying how wrong the picture in society from architects is. For this I want to end with some of these typical standard questions. I also hope that this is helping some students who want to start with the study. The most common questions or ideas are: You are earning a ton of money! This is the biggest lie I have ever heard. Take this situation: you are working in a normal architecture office drawing construction plans and making maybe some “design” (you are not a construction manager) than holly shit no. Architects are the worst paid job in the whole engineer group. You want to have a ton of money? Do something else. You will be happy to pay your rent maybe 2 holidays per year and maybe safe 100 euros per month for the pension. That’s it. These architects who earning a shit load of money working ridicicolous days, they have their own office and a …
