Recently I got myself a personal trainer. It's awesome, I can really recomend it. First step on the journey to become this new healthy, alert and strong version of myself is making some food changes!
Here are two recipes from my new protein-enhanced lifestyle:
Tunasalad:
3 cans of tuna
2 avocados
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
sundried tomatoes
feta cheese
Chop the avocados, dice the cheese and blend it all.
Indian Dish:
1 can of coconut milk
peanutbutter
soy pieces (or something else)
sweat peas
sundried tomatoes
cashewnuts
ginger
Amount of the ingredients after taste
Add more wedgies if you like =)

The no phone experience.
Last weekend in january I was working at Oslo yogafestival demoing yogawings. It was totally fab!
Less fab were that I forgot to bring my cellphone charger with me back home...
Tuesday morning I woke up from the alarm, on the phone, that I use, on the phone.
I had a text message conversation with my dear friend and brilliant fellow yogini Anja (http://www.yogabuddhi.se/), my mom called and that was it. The battery went stonecold, no turning back, super-dead.
I facebooked the fact that people was unable to reach me on my mobile phone and I went to Anjas for morningpractice.
A few hours in my current phonefree life I notice that I think about my phone a whole lot. And I'm costantly reaching in my pocket to pick it out, just to look at the screen... check what time it is, though I don't have to know... checking if I got any texts, though I'm not expecting any...
Tuesday afternoon I had a meeting with a colleuge down town. This meeting is desided a week ago or something like that. I can't call or text to check that we're still on. I add a book that I'm currently reading to all the stuff that I carry around – beliving that I need it - so that if she doesn't show up I still have something to occupy myself with.
But she's there when I arrive. And reflecting on it, it felt nice not to check up if the meeting were still on. To trust (even if I had a backup plan) and let go of the super control (even if it wasn't a choice) felt really good.
I can not constantly check what time it is and even if I'm talking and thinking about the fact that I'm having this no phone experience in a kind of disturbing amount – it's a tiny bit liberating =)
Wednesday I woke up from the alarm on my cellphone! Appently it works even if the phone is out of batteries.
As the day went along I were thinking about and missing my phone less and less.
What do we really need the phone for?
Emergensy calls.
Keeping in touch with friends and family.
Work.
But do we need to be able to answer 24/7?
I've been having my the same number since -93 (yes I'm old) and I remeber the first mobilephones in the 80ies. They had their own suitcase. They were huge and heavy! Before that there was ”just” the landlines and if you were walking the dog or on the bus you couldn't take a call at the same time. And still people survived.
Thursday I got an email saying that my charger will come home to Sweden by sportscar, airplain or mail. So sometime in next week I'll be back on my phone-addiction train. But right now I enjoy standing on the platform.
Don't call me. I'll call you =)

Doing only what I want 2 do!
It's so easy to do just the things I want to do and non of the things that I have to do. I just have to set my mind to that all the things that I have to do are things that I want to do.
I want to pay my bills because I like to use the electricity, the internet, my cellphone, have a place to live... You get the idea.
Thinking like this makes me feel less stressed, happier and more grounded.
But how do I find the power to practice these thoughts and making them dominante when life happens?
If I'm the creator of my own experience and I can't blame anyone for how I feel or the actions I choose to take as I ride the river of life - How the heck do I chill in the midst of it all!? Talk about performance anxiety!!
If I am where I am because I want to, then some days I should have a good slap in the face for putting me there!
Can I chill and breath into the detours I obviously choose to take on my way to "happely ever after"?
Ofcourse I can. I can do whatever I want. There is not a thing that I need to do and tons of things that I want to do!
I can chill into wellbeeing. I can choose to treat myself good and let my dominant intent be to please myself and having that outlook makes it easy to meet others from the same perspective.
I came because I want to be here.

Thoughts during meditation...
... I wonder where my toering went. I've been looking. Maybe I should invite my niece over. She is tiny, she can find a tiny thing...
Ok. You're meditating, remember. Now: focus!
Breath, breath. Inhale, inhale.
... I have to make that phonecall. What should I say? Can I say it as it is? Do I have to?
Breath, breath. Inhale, inhale.
I hate it when... or maybe not hate. It's such a strong word. Dislike! I really dislike it when - .....
What was I thinking about?!
Meditate. Right...
Maybe I should meditate in headstand!! That would keep me focused!
Breath, breath. Inhale, inhale.
I wonder if my x is gay. Ok, thats a strange thought. He had a realtionship with me so why would he? ... But then again... Why am I thingking about this?!
I should invite my niece over. I'm sure that she would find that toering.
Now! Focus! I will not tolerate this any more!
Breath, breath. Inhale, inhale. Side body long, inner body bright. Bright, bright inner body. Bright and shiny.
Oh! I have that splitpractice with JC today. So maybe I don't have time to go to the stable... but I still have to make that phonecall. Maybe if I try to call at a time when she's most likely busy and can't answer. Then I just leave a message on the mashine and it's done! Good plan!
Breath, breath. How long have I've been sitting like this? Ain't meditationpractice over yet?
Exhale.

8 hours of filming...
I want my new promo to be one, maybe one and a half minute long.
Working with Jasmine Lyman nothing is left overlooked.
Yesterday we were filming nonstop for 8 hours and got everything that we wanted done.
That was aerial diciplines and a short sequence of handstands.
Still left to get on tape is fire manipulation and duoacrobatics... and that is a nother couple of hours.
When all that is done there is still the editing to come. Ten, eleven or maybe twelve hours of film that shall be edited to one, or maybe one and a half minute.
Check out my homegirls web:
