How to feel the fear and do it anyway!

How to feel the fear and do it anyway!

You've got the power! And no, this is no 'hear me roar' kind of power, but a soft, sensual strength, like the serene beauty in the Strength card is using to tame the lion.

Wearing a crown of flowers and a symbol referring to her infinite wisdom, she is showing you what true strength really is: the courage to gaze into the wild eyes of a beast and meet itsfury with patience and its fear with compassion, even if the eyes yougaze into are your own. Yes, we all have inner demons: moments of rage, jealousy or shame. But if we harness their power, we can use them in a constructive way. Let them teach us how to face a challenge head-on and look it in the eyes. How to level up rather than give up.

From the Erasmus Bridge and the Mercedes-Benz Museum to Qatar’s metro network; Ben van Berkel’s iconic landmarks bring people together in rapturous beauty, again and again. I talked with the Dutch architect and educator about sensuality, ‘healthy’ buildings and the remarkable parallels between our designs.

Don’t ignore your emotions; they are much more powerful than you can imagine. By linking the magical world of emotions with hard science, Dutch scientist Pierre Capel, professor emeritus in experimental immunology, shows us the consequences of our feelings and the power of our minds. The message: we can do much more than we think. “Meditate. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.”

The fact that I feel bikini-confident all year round is, of course, a nice bonus. But for me, the biggest payoff of following the keto diet is the way it optimizes my health and gives me tons of energy.

Super (skin) food

‘If you can’t eat it, why put it on your skin?’. I pretty much live by this beauty adage. After all, with your skin being one of your body’s largest organs, anything – and I mean anything! – you put onto your skin will end up in your bloodstream.
