Setting goals may be the first step to creating the life we want. We organise our actions around accomplishing those goals and we get our daily motivation from them. Our goals are the expression of our conscious reflection about ourselves and our lives. How to set meaningful goals? How to enjoy pursuing them? Are my goals aligned with my values?

Does commitment mean that I cannot change my mind? Does it mean I have to sacrifice myself? Do I have to compromise what I believe in and put others first, neglecting my needs? What is the difference between commitment and obligation, and how can I free myself by committing?

What does it mean to “love myself”? Chocolates and bubble baths? Maybe. As long as I know how to be authentic, respectful and trusting with myself.

I set off for a walk in the forest behind my Ibiza home. Barefoot. It felt wonderful. The walk became my daily routine, and no splinter in my heel nor pouring rain over my head would stop me from doing it for months.

Does mindfulness involve ‘emptying’ the mind? Does it include taking naps? Do you go into trance when you’re being mindful?

Our strength, resilience and emotional stability come from the state of being grounded.
