The Blog
For years I have been seeking knowledge and understanding in order to create a fulfilling and purpose driven life.
I came to realize that our body, mind and soul are intrinsically connected. I decided to start writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings.
I founded Wholism with a mission to create a supportive community to help each other learn and grow. A place to seek knowledge & share experiences.
Enjoy!
Love, Morrin x

Are you a people pleaser?
I used to be a total people pleaser. I'd say yes when I actually wanted to say no. I wanted to make sure that everyone else around me was happy even if it meant that I wasn't. It took me some time to learn to say no to others and yes to myself. To set healthy boundaries and take care of myself first. Watch the video below to find out how!

The effect of breathwork & cold showers on body & mind
A couple of days ago I watched an episode of the tv series Goop Lab on Netflix. Goop is a natural health company founded by Gwyneth Paltrow. Each episode members of team Goop themselves explore and experience the effects of different healing methodologies such as energy healing, psychedelic drugs and cold therapy. The Wim Hof Method I was intrigued by the breathwork and cold therapy episode with Wim Hof. After watching the transformational effects on the team members of Goop

Endings and beginnings
It has been a while since my last blog post. I hope you had a wonderful start to the new year! The last couple of weeks have been filled with festive end of year gatherings, family reunions, ski holiday's, the end of a job and sweet goodbye's. I feel like I can finally breathe and take the time to digest & reflect. 2019 was full of big changes in my life; I broke up with a long term relationship, I moved from Australia to the UK and back home to Amsterdam, enjoyed new jobs, e

How I became debt free (including paying off my student loan)?
A wise person once told me: 'Any area in life that you do not master, will master you.' How do you know when you don't master something? Just look at your life and see if there is any area you're not happy with. When I want to improve something in my life, I start researching people that have success in that area. I read their books, listen to their podcasts, watch YouTube videos and documentaries. I immerse myself in it, question things that I learn and take away what's appl

What to eat?
Are you feeling more confused about what to eat than ever before? Do you have no idea about what is healthy and would like to feel more confident in the choices you make? Research shows conflicting evidence on what a healthy diet looks like. Every day there are new articles promoting a certain food item to be healthy, then the next article says exactly the opposite. Should we be consuming dairy? Is animal protein an essential part of a healthy diet? What about eggs and soy? I

The first step to creating change
I am currently reading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. I have only read about the first habit but wanted to share what I have learned so far. One of the biggest take-aways from this chapter is about responsibility. The hardest and most freeing of all the teachings I have learned is that we are responsible for creating our own happiness. When I first heard about this years ago, I didn't believe it to be true. How can I be responsible for the things

How you can vote today
People are starting to become more aware about what is happening in our world today, such as climate change, fast fashion, and the food industry. The important thing here is to educate yourself on what is truly going on. I love watching documentaries such as 'The true cost', 'Before the flood' and the series 'Rotten' on Netflix.
Informing yourself may challenge you, as you can no longer deny what's happening, but it also gives you back the power. Every day you get to choose

One of the biggest lessons I have learned!
We view things through our own lens and believe what we perceive to be true. But what if this isn't the truth, but just your truth? And if you were to see things with a wider lens from a different angel it may all be different? Changing my perception has helped me on multiple occasions to get a greater understanding of that which I have experienced in the past. By seeing both the benefits and the drawbacks of events, I was able to balance out my emotions and feel nothing but
