Stop. Pause. Sprint.

A simple clarity ritual to redesign your season with intention.

Hello you 🤍

It’s almost spring. At least, that’s what it feels like.

Usually, I post every second day — which you’ll know if you’ve been following along here for a while.

But over the past few days, I’ve prioritized something that has been so important to me (and in the bigger picture: my overall happiness, calm, and excitement): our home.

Turning Our Home Upside Down

I bought white tulips. Rearranged every single room. Every single piece of furniture. Everything has been turned upside down.

I still need a day or two to finish it all, but I’m telling you: it feels amazing and so freeing.

We’re safe in the same home — the place that creates peace and calm for us — but everything within our walls has changed.

And that affects everything: our overall mood, the way we are at home, the things we do at home.

So far, it has brought more calm, peace, and creativity.

Leading with Intention

I love leading with intention. I love creating from a place of clarity.

Which is why I’d love to share a super short and simple tool I use to create that extra clarity — so we can lead our lives with intention.

It creates peace, calm, and more love — if that’s what you’d love to create and attract more of.

We are the ones who sculpt our minds and design our lives.

It’s up to us. Our responsibility. Our choice to spend some time pausing — maybe even fully stopping — in order to sprint later. At least, that’s how I see it.

Yes, I’ve been a bit quieter these days. But now I’ve created a foundation and a setup from which I can SPRINT toward what I desire to create.

I love that.

Period.

Stop. Pause. Sprint.

So here you’ll find the short guide.

Please take your time. Pause. Maybe light some candles. Make a cup of tea or coffee.

Dive into it.

Create that clarity and put words to it.

What’s important for you in your life NOW, in order to SPRINT later?

Stop. Pause. Sprint.

Let’s go.

The Short Clarity Guide

(Stop. Pause. Sprint.)

Step 1 — Stop

Before you change anything, stop.

Not scrolling.
Not planning.
Not fixing.

Just stop.

Take 3 deep breaths.
Put both feet on the floor.
Arrive where you are.

Clarity does not come from chaos.
It comes from presence.

Step 2 — Pause & Ask

Take a journal and answer these slowly:

• What feels heavy in my life right now?

• What feels light?

• Where am I forcing something?

• What do I deeply crave more of? (Peace? Excitement? Space? Love? Simplicity?)

Then ask:

• If I could redesign one area of my life right now — which one would it be?

• What would it look like?

• What would it feel like?

Don’t overthink it.
Write honestly.

Step 3 — Define Your Now

Clarity is not about the next five years.

It’s about NOW.

Ask yourself:

• What is important for me in this season?

• What needs my energy?

• What can wait?

Circle three priorities.
Only three.

This is your focus.

Step 4 — One Intentional Shift

You don’t need a life overhaul.

Choose one aligned action.

• Move the desk.

• Declutter one drawer.

• Have the conversation.

• Cancel the thing.

• Start the thing.

Small shifts create massive internal movement.

Step 5 — Set the Sprint

Now that you’ve paused…

You get to sprint.

Ask:

• Where do I want to move with energy?

• What am I ready to go all in on?

When your foundation feels clear and intentional —
your sprint feels powerful, not chaotic.

Stop.
Pause.
Create clarity.
Then sprint.

With intention.

The Effect of Starting from Scratch

For me, it meant creating our home from scratch again.

As I said, it’s still in progress — but almost there.

And the effect?

Amazing. For all of us.

You Are So Worthy

I wish you the best day. I’ll share some pictures of my new workspace with you here — I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Have the best day.

You are so worthy, and so, so appreciated.

Loop it. Affirm it.

Best,
Jasmin
