Back in the country house – freezing cold weather 

Just in time for my return to the country house winter also decided to arrive.. Lots of snow and really cold. Really nice to be back however. Looking forward to a really nice work session in the days to come. 

Also looking forward to playing some music since I haven’t been around my violin or piano for almost 2 weeks.

And as if this was not enough I also just got the date for my week when I will be handling the @jkpg account on Instagram. Cool thing. Really looking forward to snap some pics of my home town and share with all the wonderful people following this account. 

Ok so that’s it for now.. Better put some more wood into the fire place and then call it a night! 


Evening walk with lots of thoughts 

Yay… Snow again.. Been a while now. Took a stroll this evening to clear my thoughts a bit. Tomorrow I am heading south again after quite a stay with family in Stockholm and Örebro. Today I officially declared that 2017 will be the year of meditation and fulfilled dreams. It will also be the year of a lot of other things too.. But those two goals are not a bad start I think. I have lots of good things planned for the near future so see you soon. 


2017

After beautiful weekends with my family it’s finally 2017.. Wow that number. Time flies so fast.

It was so lovely to meet both my sister and brothers families with kids and also my parents. After almost a week in Stockholm I am now back in Örebro at my parents place. I am so lucky to have a nice places to stay and people to meet.

It’s a new year and New Challenges with it. I have to get my business going and frankly I have to make quite a lot more money than I’ve done so far to be able to support even the humble lifestyle that I am living. 

The good news however is that I have come pretty far in creating a system that I think will serve me well in planning the upcoming months. I will talk about this more in upcoming posts. This system is one part “mental training” and one part “administrative structure” and information and planning tools (desktop/mobile apps, etc). 

So long people see you soon for updates on my life. Peace out. 


Christmas Feeling @ Last

I’ve been working pretty intensively by my computer over the last weeks, it takes some time to build up a good routines and habits and to become effective and produce the results you want. I feel really happy though an still very appreciative over the fact that I can be here in the country house getting the space and calmness that I need to focus on the things that I want to have done. Here’s just a small video to show a small glims of my own personal Christmas feeling here on the country side. Accompanied by the Chamber Choir of of Jönköping. Mary Christmas to everyone who happen to read this and see you soon with more exciting projects and happenings!

Here’s the FULL video that didn’t fit into the 1 min Instagram limit. Enjoy!


Incredible times, friends and Christmas is coming

I have had 3 incredible weeks working in the calm and quiet of the country side and then also made a couple of trips to visit friends for both leisure and work. I also had some friends visiting me which was equally nice. Now back in the house and trying to get some work done while enjoying the beautiful nature in the surroundings. 

Here are some of the favorite  pics from my favorite place to walk nere where I live.

After some searching I found the Christmas decorations and now I enjoy the so much needed light in the dark winter period.


Meditation and true success

“We shouldn’t have to rely on external circumstances to make ourselves internally satisfied. True success comes when you take the time every single day to work on yourself internally, and cultivated the things that you want to see in yourself internally, and then being able to hold on to these values and express them in any external circumstance, whether they be positive or negative.”

Moonlight and Sonatas


In the country house again after very nice 2 weeks at my parents in Örebro. 

Gazing up at the sky from the balcony it’s pretty awesome to be here too. The supermoon that was hidden behind a solid layer of clouds when it was  full no is showing itself in all its glory even though it is rather half at this point. For the record I shot the moonlight pic with my Samsung Galaxy S7 through a couple of old binoculars that I har just happened to lay my eyes on in the living room before I saw the moonlight through the window of the balcony door.

Today I also brought out violin to play a few pieces for the first time in a while. I was really happy to find that I got a good connection with my instrument and the music came out pretty beautifully. I’m looking forward to record something to put online soon. 


Taco and fredagsmys 

It’s been an awesome week at my parents place. Moving back home is quite an underestimated business. Having the time to develop this relationship is really nice, not least when you haven’t had so much time to do this during the past few years.

During my time in Egypt I had the chance to experience what it is like when families are much more closer together and spend much more of the time during the days in the same house, eating and talking. This is an art that I think many people in the western cultures have forgotten.  Continue reading
