Year after year, the question ‘What if I fly?’ becomes more and more meaningful to me. Because the first thought, ‘What if I fall?’, comes from the emotion of fear, which has guided and limited me for a long time. But that’s not what today is about. It’s about flying! So I ask myself, WHEN did I really take off this year? WHERE exactly did I experience that moment? WHO was with me? And WHAT exactly did I feel…? As I type these sentences, a cover flow starts playing in my head.
There are three things that inspired me this year:
- My clients. I love it when they surpass themselves, rediscover their own dignity and emancipate themselves from their repetitive patterns. Anyone who has ever worked with me knows how I celebrate successes – big and small. The feeling that is activated in me when effectiveness occurs: JOY. Because once we have seen through our family dynamics and are ready to change them, we grow beyond ourselves. By the way, this is not coaching blah-blah. This is neurobiology.
- And there’s the second cover flow anchor in my mind: my additional training as a scientific trainer this year. I can finally explain why my PatternShift method™ works – neuropsychologically. The feeling which comes up is ENTHUSIASM.
- The third cover that pops into my mind is the place of my heart: Tel Aviv. This year, I had the opportunity to combine work and life there for five weeks. And although I lived in a spartan little apartment and my flat here in Hamburg is my gorgeous sacred place, I would have loved to stay for another five weeks. My feeling when I’m in Tel Aviv: CONNECTEDNESS.
It is worth rewinding, looking back at what inspired us last year by using this insight as a guide. Because if you know the harbour you want to sail to, no wind may be too strong.
May the coming year carry us forward – with tailwinds, joy, enthusiasm and love in our hearts. So that we feel connected – and can also take off from time to time.
I wish everyone reading these lines a flying start to 2026!
