PERSONal development

Do you also feel like everyday life is consuming you?

It can be challenging to pause long enough to feel the right direction in one's life. 

Can you relate to one of these?:

  • Do you feel that the unspoken expectations of those around you don't align with what you truly want to do?
  • Are you facing a life choice and struggling to see which path is right for you?
  • Do you have a sense that there is more to life than what you are currently experiencing?
  • Do you have an unreleased creative side, a dream of starting your own business or becoming a leader, but lack the time, energy, and courage to explore it further and pursue it?
  • Do you find it difficult to assert yourself, set boundaries, and not be influenced by others' judgments and opinions of what you "should" do?

​do you have "hams" in your life?

​Do you remember the story of the woman who is about to cook a ham, and her husband asks in wonder:

'Why are you cutting off the ends of the ham?'

'Because that's what you do.'

'But why?'

'That's just how I learned it, it's what we've always done!'

So, she starts to think about it and asks her mother:

'Mom, why is it that we cut off the ends of the ham?'

And her mother looks at her, visibly surprised:

'Well, otherwise it wouldn't fit in the pot, of course!'

Take a moment to discover if you have any 'hams'—habits and routines—in your life that are consuming your TIME and ENERGY ☝️

We all have blind spots, no matter how much we've decluttered.

Personal development - listening inward

It is acceptable to say "listen to your gut feeling." The interesting part is understanding where the gut feeling comes from. Some also refer to it as intuition.

We have come to a point where the business world is beginning to recognize that intuition is just as powerful as intelligence because it helps us make the right choices.

However, intuition often has limited space in our society due to the demands and expectations placed on us. 

We are expected to always be "on," available, keep up, participate online and in various events, gatherings, meetings, and so on.

​​When one's system is stressed, it leads to anxiety. Anxiety muddles your intuition, making it difficult to discern whether it's anxiety speaking or if you can trust your gut feeling.

Giving yourself time, space, and peace to ground yourself and listen to your gut feeling allows for personal growth. It helps you become better at prioritizing and enables you to see new, positive paths and solutions in your situation.

This is what I refer to as listening inward—to the natural intelligence that resides within you

​WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BRAIN WHEN YOU LISTEN INWARD?

​When you are able to listen inward, you initiate tangible processes in your body and brain: Different levels of brainwave frequencies have different names.

The creative level is called Alpha and has a brainwave frequency ranging from 7 to 14 Hertz.

The Alpha state occurs when you relax, take deep breaths, and close your eyes.

It occurs just before falling asleep, during dreaming, visualizing mental images, or engaging in imaginative thinking.

Your brain also produces Alpha waves when you close your eyes and visualize—when you imagine yourself hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. Albert Einstein knew it and used the method before science documented its effectiveness.

Today, we predominantly call it visualization and mental training. It goes by many names.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what we call it—if what you're reading here resonates with you, then you have the answer as to whether you should contact me or not.

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

- Albert Einstein

"Intuition is more powerful than intellect"

- Steve Jobs

​how to get started

Personal development is the key to strengthening your connection with intuition. 

When you work on yourself, you learn to listen to your inner signals and recognize what feels right. Through self-reflection and conscious growth, you become more aware of your own desires, values, and boundaries. 

Intuition is a powerful guide that steers you in the right direction—but only if you allow it space to emerge. 

By investing in your personal development, you not only build confidence but also the ability to act in harmony with your authentic self.​

"Dear Mette.

Your conversations and my journey with you have given me tools to completely overcome my binge eating! I have learned to find joy and self-worth when it starts to decline through your values lists, thought strategies, and meditation, and by recalling our conversations and everything you have taught me. I have found a wonderful partner whom I have learned to communicate with about both the good and the less good things. And most importantly, to stay true to myself! I have truly struggled since I was 12 years old when I was hit by an eating disorder—a battle that has required various types of conversations, therapy, tears, and tough years. It has been filled with ups and downs, but everything I have been through has been necessary to get to where I am today.

I am so grateful that it was your website, and you who answered the phone when I needed it the most. YOU gave me the final push on that journey, and for the first time since then, I feel free, free and ready to live life! This summer, I completed my education. Everything is going smoothly. I am both happy, sad, upset, angry, and happy, but I feel it all and embrace whatever comes. I am truly living life now! THANK YOU, thank you for being you."

​"I have also needed therapy over the years, and I found support in Mette. She has a unique ability to approach things in a strong professional manner, so that the victim role, guilt/shame, anger, and despair become anchored within you as a strong force.

She has the skill to help you reposition people you struggle with in your system, so that they are on the periphery, but you have the power to decide where and in what way. Use her, use her."

Female client, written on Facebook

"I have discovered that self-worth is connected to anxiety - if you think poorly of yourself, you believe that others do the same...

I have learned to ask when I doubt what people mean by what they say.

My 'don't care' box has become big, and I now automatically focus more on the things that make me happy. I have learned to distinguish between what I think I can't do and what I actually want to do."
