a little more you
Small moments. Big difference.
Your happiness deserves attention too.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You are a parent, partner, friend or colleague. You arrange, you listen, you show up. And somewhere between the full calendar and the daily things, the question fades: what actually makes me happy?
Even when nothing is asked of you, your mind stays busy with what still needs doing. Truly unwinding feels far away.
You know what the people around you need. But what you need? That rarely gets your attention.
When things calm down. When everything is arranged. But you do not need a perfect life to experience happiness.
A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING
Imagine this: you notice again what makes an ordinary Tuesday good. You recognise what gives you energy. You can love others and still make room for your own happiness.
Choose Yourself invites you to discover that. Not with big promises or a list of everything you must change. But with attention for what is already there, and for what fits you.
You do not need to become different. You are allowed to be more yourself.YOUR NEXT 21 DAYS

A MOMENT THAT FITS YOU
A fresh look at happiness, gratitude or calm. Something to think about. Maybe something you recognise.
A few honest questions. Write something down, or think it over quietly. There are no right or wrong answers.
A small exercise in your day. A pause, a moment of gratitude or attention for something ordinary.
Missed a day? Simply pick up where you left off. This is not a test.

WHY I WROTE THIS WORKBOOK
I have known beautiful times. And difficult ones. Financial room and financial worries. Friendship and connection, but also loneliness. The happiness of a marriage and the pain of a divorce.
I know what it is like to have my children around me every day. And I have had to learn what it means to be a co-parent, with a different rhythm and differently shared moments.
Still, I noticed something. Sometimes my life looked good on paper, while something was missing. And sometimes it was far from perfect, yet I felt genuinely happy, grateful and calm.
“Your circumstances are part of your story. But not the whole story of your happiness.”
I did not write Choose Yourself because I have it all figured out. But because I believe you can practise gratitude, train your attention and discover what makes you happy. Not because others matter less. But because you matter too.

WORDS FROM THE WORKBOOK
The first reader experiences will follow after the launch. Until then, we let the book speak for itself.
“You do not have to change your whole life to discover more happiness in it.
“You can love your children more than anything and still allow yourself your own happiness.
“These 21 days are not about fixing yourself. They are about getting to know yourself.
TO PUT YOU AT EASE
You do not need all the answers before you begin. But a few practical ones help.
YOUR HAPPINESS MAY COUNT TOO
A little time. An open mind. And the willingness to give yourself the same attention you give the people you love.
