🧠✨The Logic Behind the Magic
Hey Iguanas! 🦎 You know me—I love to dig deep, analyze, question everything, and find the underlying logic in every process. I'm all about balancing the energetic flow with grounded, tangible tools. That’s why I use cards—not as a crystal ball, but as a powerful, simple tool for emotional analysis and perspective shifting. Why cards? Because they are the ultimate tool for disrupting negative thought patterns. ⚡The Brain’s Negative Bias: Our minds are naturally wired to focus on the negative (it’s an ancient survival mechanism). This means we often need an external, objective prompt to stop the loop. 🪑A "Chair-Flipper" Moment: When I feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just need to hear/see something to change my thinking direction or inspire a new action, I pull a card. It's a way to symbolically "flip the table" and force a positive reframe of those negative inputs. ✨ Simple & Profound: A card is like a single, powerful page from a huge book. You don't have to read the whole volume. You can just look at the image, read one sentence, or dive deep into the symbolism, numbers, and logic behind the archetype it represents. 💫 The Message You Need: The simplicity is the power. It gives your mind a focal point, a new piece of data that might hold the exact message, insight, or energy adjustment you need to understand, feel, release, or change something in your current process. For me, the cards are a bridge between the deep, soulful knowing (the images, the intuition) and the analytical mind (the numbers, the logic, the questions). They help us consciously work against that negative bias. I love the paradox of it all: Everything is for a reason. And everything is for no reason. And something is for nothing. And nothing is for something. 👇 Now, I want to hear from you! Let's get analytical about this tool: ❓Have you ever used cards (Tarot, Oracle, etc.): 👍 If answer = Yes: which ones do you use, and how do they support your emotional work? 👎 If answer = No: what are your thoughts? Do you see them as a valid tool for self-development and rewiring your perspective?

Yes I used to! It has been a while though.
🙃 Tattoo Talk: From "Never Ever" to "What's Next?!"
Hey Iguanas! 👋 I want to share something super personal today: my tattoos! It's actually a wild journey because, seriously, I used to be one of those people who said: "I will NEVER have a tattoo." 🙅‍♀️ My main reference point was my great-grandmother—all wrinkled, and I couldn't help but picture how "weird" a tattoo would look on her skin. That thought was like a scratched record, playing over and over in my head. Then, around age 25, a little lightbulb went off: Why am I so hung up on how something will look in old age when I might not even live to see it? 🤔 So, I decided: Okay, I'm getting one! But naturally, a new fear popped up, a fresh scratched record: What if I get bored of it in a few years? How will I remove it? I came up with a ridiculous (but totally necessary for me!) plan: I’ll choose a tattoo, wait 5 years, and if I still love it, I'll get it for my 30th birthday. 🎂The Big 3-0 hit, and my journey began! First came Little My, and I was already planning the next one. Then Snufkin appeared, but I immediately realized the real core theme was the TREE. 🌳 This year, Grandma Willow joined the crew—though she's just an echo of the entire tree's power... I'm still missing one final character to truly connect this whole tree into a single masterpiece. I’ve been brainstorming the next one... maybe SpongeBob? 😂 Or perhaps Kiara from The Lion King 2? Maybe Sailor Moon? I honestly don't know yet. I won't get a tattoo until I'm 100% sure! What about you? Do you have tattoos? Love them? Hate them? Secretly dreaming of getting one? What’s your story? Let me know in the comments! Or... Help me find the final character!👇

I have been thinking about one for ages, but haven’t got the nerves. I even had an appointment once, but canceled. I would go for a lotus flower with Merle’s name written as the ‘steel’ (wat is daar t Engelse woord voor?)

❄️ Small Talk & Snowfall
Small Talk: Love it or Loathe it? Confession time: I personally despise small talk. I can't stand it, I don't digest it, and I'm terrible at it. However, I also recognize that sometimes it's the necessary key that opens the door to a truly deep conversation. And since we're all about symbiosis and authentic exchange here... Let's talk about the weather! 😅 I woke up today and saw the first snow of the season, and it brought me an unusual sense of peace and quiet joy. Lately, it's been so gray, dark, and ugly... but today, the world suddenly became brighter! What about you? What's the view like outside your window today? You can see mine in the clip below!

🎤 Unlock "The Cycle": Hit Level 2 and Hear MY VOICE!
Do you remember when I shared the lyrics to my one and only completed song, "The Cycle"? It was a very personal post about life cycles, fears, and building solid foundations. 🖤Time for the next stage of this story! If those words resonated with you, I have a reward for your activity! 🎉From now on, by reaching Level 2 in our Iguana Universe community, you unlock access to... the recording of that very song! Yes! This is my first full, finished music project from several years ago. Maybe I would do it differently today, but it holds all the authenticity of that time and proves that it is ALWAYS worth bringing a project to completion! 💪Hit Level 2 to hear what my "stepping out of the shadow" sounded like and see how working through fear translates into a tangible, finished track! 🎧 See you there! https://www.skool.com/iguana-universe-9433/classroom
