30 December 20195 June 2020Categories GROW2020, intentions, new yearLeave a Comment on END OF YEAR THOUGHTS & NEW YEAR’S INTENTIONS

A new decade is about to commence. Twenty-twenty. Sounds spectacular don’t you think? Today’s post is a collection of thoughts on the year that has past, and intentions for the one that’s coming up.

Heja!

Heja! I’m Querien.

Wayfaring to Santiago taught me that every single day can be infused with meaning and adventure.

Whether you’re a wandering soul looking for direction, a seasoned pilgrim hungry for more, or totally new to the game and exploring… I’m here to help you with your journey!

On when a wayfarer you’ll find stories, practices, and wisdom to guide you on your (everyday) pilgrimage to create a more meaningful & adventurous life.

Super excited you’re here!

Let’s wander together!

When envisioning the life you'd like to create for When envisioning the life you'd like to create for yourself in the future, have you ever wondered... who is the person in the picture?

What does she/he do?

What does she/he say?

How does it feel to be around this person?

Visualising our future lives, the life that we dream of creating, is a great way to connect with our future self.

This is not only a great way to practice self-love and self-compassion, it's also extremely helpful to get a clearer picture of what qualities we need in order to create the life we want to live...

Don't just focus on the meaningful life you'd like to compose, become aware of the person that inhabits this life. 

Get to know her/him.

What is the one thing you can do to make today a l What is the one thing you can do to make today a little more meaningful?

Just one thing.

Perhaps it's taking 5 minutes out of your morning to meditate, researching something you've been curious about or write a card to a friend.

When we break it down, living a meaningful life comes down to the things we do on a daily basis. It's all those small things we do that'll add up to create a life that's a true expression of who we are, right at that moment.

Would love to hear what tiny things you'll be doing today!

Happy Monday!

Wayfaring to Santiago taught me that every day can Wayfaring to Santiago taught me that every day can be infused with meaning and adventure, as it’s yet another day of our pilgrimage called life.

Since I returned, I’ve been exploring the concept of everyday life as a pilgrimage. 

Today's article (link in bio) will centre around the concept of everyday pilgrimage. What is it exactly? How is it connected to creating and living a meaningful and adventurous life, and why is it even important? 

Let me know what you think, would love to hear your ideas on the topic.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Today, again, I found myself wondering about the s Today, again, I found myself wondering about the sheer amount of things in this world that are made to numb ourselves.

Food, drugs, alcohol, Netflix, online shopping…

It’s so easy to escape, to stop feeling things, to disconnect. 

Nothing wrong to walk that path once in a while, but it’s easy to get lost - difficult to find our way back.

I was walking this path today. Full on zoning out, trying not to feel… In the end, somewhere about an hour ago, I finally found my way back, and sat with myself and all those feelings I did not want to feel. I wrote and wrote, until it was out.

I remember how this was such natural proces when walking the Camino de Santiago. The lack of numbing agents, made it almost inevitable to deal with your emotions. 

Some days, when I felt like crying, I would just cry. When I felt like shouting or cursing or stamping my feet, I would. No one around anyway, so why the fuck not. 

I gave it space. I allowed it to be there.

When the hard stuff pops up, the big feelings we think we cannot handle, we just need to remind ourselves that we can handle it. Instead of pushing them away, we can listen to these feelings, give them space. 

The calm will return eventually, once we give ourselves permission to feel.

Hadn't been riding for a while, mainly cause of th Hadn't been riding for a while, mainly cause of the weather, and cause I just couldn't get myself to "actually go for it". 

So as I was lying in bed this morning, I imagined riding my bike. I felt my blood pumping, the air blowing past my face, the excitement throughout my body. It felt good.

When I got down, I saw my golden gal, and I was like... oh yeah, it's time for a little biking adventure!

Sometimes it can be so hard just to start, to begin, to "go for it". When you visualise yourself doing the thing, whatever it is, notice how you feel.

Does it feel good? There's your motivation to do it!

There's times to be serious, and times to play! There's times to be serious, and times to play! 

This moment captured clearly belonged to the latter category.

Do you remember when you were a child, and you could be anything? A knight, a goat, or perhaps, a tree!

Letting our imagination run wild allows us to go beyond the boundaries we create in our own minds.

Playing gives us permission to try something new and see how it feels. These are moments of discovery and experiment.... and that's not only the cool thing to do when you're a kid, it's  still as awesome when you've reach the adult age (whatever that may be)!

Go on! Infuse some play into your day today, observe where it takes you...

Some days we wander. No route. No plan. No destin Some days we wander.

No route.
No plan.
No destination.

These days too, can be meaningful.

They allow for rest, time to comtemplare, or the unexpected to appear.

Embrace the days of wandering.

It might be just the adventure you need.

A meaningful and adventurous life is not just abou A meaningful and adventurous life is not just about creating a sustainable, enjoyable and exciting future... 

It's just as much about honouring that which is currently here. 

The start of each day on our journey is a perfect moment to express what we love about our lives, what people makes us happy, and what we are grateful for.

As Rumi said: "Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk."

Happy Monday 💕
