greatest hits

i just saw madonna's MDNA tour this week. as usual, i left inspired and in the mood to reinvent.

then it occurred to me it might be a good idea to revisit some of the swede lowdown's greatest hits here on the blog...

just some popular posts that may be worth another look.

this one about loving yourself

this one about loving your body

finding the strength to keep going

here's one about growing and moving on

a couple about letting go, here and here

a good primer for being direct

one of my personal favorites about relationship games

and classic life lessons one, two and three

happy re-viewing!

braving the blues

not every day is a good one. 

sometimes we just want to hide away, shirk responsibilities, stay in our pyjamas and lie around and wallow in our sorrows. sometimes as bad as this feels, it feels good to allow yourself to feel awful.

strength is not just about soldiering on in the face of adversity. there is courage in displaying your vulnerabilities. if you are feeling scared or blue or just floundering, it is okay to let people see that part of you. 

we are not judged by our loved ones in a single moment but rather in all our moments, good and bad, soft and hard, pretty and ugly. we are the sum of all these equal parts.

sometimes outside the sun is shining and the sky is clear blue, but inside us there is a tempest brewing…it may even feel like we are stuck under an umbrella of grey rain clouds that follows us around our day. courage is believing that even our storm will pass and we can and will get through this darkness and be all the happier for what lies ahead.

 

that is what I am telling myself today anyway...
