Hello! Stine bere, founder of SkandiHus.
When I quit my lawyer job back in 2014, I had to work my three months’ notice. A lot of stuff happened to me during those three months, as you can imagine. I remember going for my lunch break in Lincolns Inn, as I often did to eat my lunch on the grass, except this day I kicked off my heels and walked barefoot across the lawn (yes, I totally pretended to be in Pretty Woman and no, I don’t own a pair of heels anymore). It felt so liberating and I did not care what anyone thought because I was getting out of that world. The grass felt amazing under my feet. What did actually happen was that a barrister who passed by broke into a massive smile. I also remember buying a bag of lollipops and eating the whole bag at my desk - just because I could and wanted to. I was slowly beginning to care less about what I ought to do and what people expected me to do – or WHO they expected me to be. I felt the beginning of an overwhelming sense of freedom. I think what happened was that I slowly stopped taking life – and myself - so seriously. I remember always having this sense of attachment and obligation that felt like a burden. I worried so much about things that actually really do not matter. I think once I had quit and let go of some of this and stopped caring less about my career and everyone’s expectations, not least my own expectations to myself, I set myself free. I shook myself out of this sleep like state that I had ended up living in and stopped living my life like it was happening to someone else. When you start caring less, when you stop being so wrapped up in yourself and your life – you actually set yourself free and with this freedom comes an opportunity to do what you really want. So, I’d say, go out there and eat those lollipops! 🍭. With love, Stine x
