Inner transformation from microcosm to macrocosm. We have started a new year. For many, this awakens a silent hope – a feeling that something can start over. An opportunity to create change, not only in our own lives, but in the world we are part of.

One of my goals is to help people to see their own strength, and thereafter make good choices for their lives. In order to see our strength, we also must look at some of our limitations, and living as pack animals turns out to be one of them.

Are you happy? Do you make others happy? Some will recognize these two slightly rewritten questions from the movie The Bucket List. If I reformulated them even more and instead asked: …

We experience stage fright in different settings. It is always a negative feeling that is important to address seriously, so that we can actually remove it and feel better and not have to hide behind “white” lies. I would like to give you a tip for an exercise that may help.

Let us all work together. Not just on an outer level, but also through our attitudes and understanding. Many don’t know that it is in their power to change.

The same night that I had used the Nightfilm technique to start the process, I had one of my most fascinating dreams. I dreamt that I was at a place where people were very fearful.

It is very naive and unrealistic to believe that life consists only of an outer facade of good fortune and glamour. Life consists of all phases – life, death and everything in between. We just need to learn to cope with it.

Goals take you in the direction you want to go in your life. If we want to make conscious choices and decisions, we need to know where we want to go. No goals mean no conscious choices and life will be that way – we won’t know where to go.

To avoid emotional explosions, one needs to understand and learn to deal with emotions so they don’t keep building up. Since the brain is flexible, old neural pathways can be transformed. Transformation is the only way to get lasting change.

She continued to tell her story, in a whisper. Tears flowed freely over her cheeks and her chin, and she wiped them away with her sleeve. “I just wanted to help and be kind, but it was always misunderstood and wrong. I asked God for help too, but he never came.” She paused…

One reason I get so passionate about this subject is that we haven’t made much progress in the past 30 years in our development and knowledge about human mental health.

Peace cannot be decided by politicians, peace must be created. Even the most populated country on Earth is made up of individuals, and this is where it gets complex. Humans – you and I – must be the ones who are willing to make changes and create peace.

“The brain does exactly what it is told to do,” also when we are overcome by emotions at our subconscious level. I was very afraid of elevators because I learned at an early age that the elevator could get stuck and then it would be hard to breathe.

Once more a new drug is produced that treats symptoms instead of causes. We need to learn to cope with stress and worries, or we will end up with a society where everyone must take pills for something or other.

I had stored a lot of hate and hurt feelings during my life that I realized were eating me up from the inside. However, forgiving someone who had caused me pain was a very high threshold for me to climb over, very high indeed. To be honest, I became provoked when anyone talked about the subject.

I am now in the midst of a situation in life where feelings of a guilty conscience could easily have taken over, and I wouldn’t have been able to help anyone. Just think if it were possible for me to split myself in three parts and pieces of me could be in different places. I think many have wanted that, but that is not how things actually are.

When I grew up, no one taught me how to cope with all that life may consist of from joys to sorrow, large and small challenges or problems at home or elsewhere. The past week has made it even clearer to me how important that is, and I’m not talking about treating symptoms or superficially.

When someone rolls their eyes and pats you on the head, you need to stand strong. This behavior is probably the most disguised bullying of another person, the type that results in people losing their self-esteem and belief that they can. That is why one of my goals is to strengthen each and every individual.

One day Facebook wrote a message that inspired me to focus on an important theme for me. The message was: “Today is Earth Day, Deborah. Today we are to think about the influence we have, and make a positive change.”

Clouds are gathering and promising rain. The little girl who is busy picking flowers doesn’t notice. She wants to gather lots of flowers to take to her Grandma who she loves so much. The downpour was unavoidable, the path was wet and the stones slippery. She fell, scrubbed her knees and became afraid.

Communication between humans is one of the largest and most complex subjects, and I believe that it is one of the largest challenges for us to solve in our day and age. If we consider inner and outer processes in light of the function of the brain, it is nonetheless more simple than we might believe.

My dream is to tell each and every person how unique they are, and about the unused resource we humans have: our enormous capacity. My starting point is our brain. I understand that this is the key to greater understanding of who we are and the capacity that we have.
