Programs
Guided journeys day by day — one exercise or session at a time, at your own pace.
Your own person
A week about independence: the art of belonging without disappearing. You measure where the steering wheel sits, check where the group chooses for you, sort out what is yours to carry in close relationships, take an adult step in the family's old dance and separate love from need, and give the other parts of yourself room beside work. On day seven you measure again.
The joy week
Seven days of subjective well-being: gratitude, strengths and what actually gives you joy.
The boundaries week
Seven days on boundaries, from work to the people you care about. You set a concrete rule for the workday, practice a friendly no and a hard message without blame, learn to leave on time without an excuse, find the line between supporting and taking over, and change steps in the old dance with your parents.
The foundation week
Seven days that lay a broad foundation. You measure where your habits are strong and where they leak, write a thank-you to someone who has meant something, learn the body a calming breath, count on the small connections, put into words what you are here for, sketch where you want to be professionally in three years, and give words to what you feel. A broad start, not a deep dive into any one thing.
Sustainable at work
Seven days on really feeling well at work, beyond pay and title. You meet the inner voice, learn to get back up after a miss, set a boundary without a guilty conscience, map what gives and what drains you, and break down the path to work you can sustain into three steps. Not a course in performing more. A week in lasting longer.
The action week
A week where each day becomes a small, concrete action, not one more reading about change. You anchor a value, take the next small step, reach out to someone you miss, schedule joy, build a morning routine, catch micro-moments of pleasure, and close with an action that counts. Seven days, seven actions. When the week ends, you have not planned a better life. You have started living it.
The emotions week
Seven days to get to know your emotional life more closely, not to control it, but to understand it. You put words to what is moving, learn to calm the body, and meet the hard days with a little more warmth.
Calm in the body
A week that teaches the body to relax, for real, with practice. You measure where you stand, learn the basic method of progressive muscle relaxation (two sessions with a body scan in between: the repetition IS the method), build a calm place, link a cue word to the exhale, and measure again. By the end of the week you have four tools that grow stronger each time they are used.
Calmer days
Seven days with the most well-tested tools against worry and stress. You learn to wind the body down within minutes, ground yourself in the present when your thoughts race, examine catastrophic thoughts, give worry a bounded place, approach what you avoid in small steps, and read up on your stress response. On the last day you meet yourself with warmth. Not to never feel worry, but so that it steers you less.
The meaning week
Seven days for the bigger questions, kept grounded. You clarify your values, put into words what gives your life direction, and turn it into concrete steps: meaning as action, not as rumination.
Meet your thoughts
Seven days with the most well-tested tools from CBT and ACT, for those who get stuck in their heads. You learn to name feelings, catch thinking traps, step a little back from difficult thoughts, talk to yourself with some distance, give worry a bounded place, and calm the body. On the last day you meet the feeling under the thoughts with warmth. Not to think less, but so that thoughts steer you less.
The relationships week
Seven days of action for your relationships. You read the temperature, listen without giving advice, respond to other people's good news, map what has slipped and book in a contact, repair after a quarrel, give and receive concrete wishes, and take a step toward a relationship you have let drift. Not talk about relationships, but seven concrete steps.
The routine week
Seven days that build the backbone of your everyday life, one routine at a time. You decide, you tick off, the chain grows. When the week ends, you have not read about structure. You have built it.
Sleep week
A week that takes sleep seriously. You measure where you stand, find your sleep window, clear out the habits and screens, and teach the body to wind down, evening after evening. On day seven you measure again and see what has moved.
Stronger relationships
Seven days on what actually holds a relationship together: not grand gestures, but small skills. You practice listening for real, saying the unsaid, expressing something hard without blame, repairing after a quarrel, celebrating others, keeping the bonds up, and daring to take the first step. A week that makes you someone others feel seen by.
Habits that last
Seven days on how habits are actually built: less willpower, more smart design. You start with the science, anchor the habit in who you want to become, tie it to a cue, borrow a reward, hang it on a morning routine, and learn to return gently after a lapse. On the last day you connect the habit to a value, so it holds even when the novelty has faded.
The school of anger
From outburst to clarity: understand the anger, cool down in the moment, express it wisely and make amends.
More joy in everyday life
Fourteen days to learn to notice and hold on to what is already there.
Facing fear step by step
Two weeks built on the most researched way to shrink a fear: understand what the body actually does, gather acute tools, examine the thoughts that feed the worry, and then face what you avoid in small pieces you can manage, one step at a time.
Kinder to yourself
Fourteen days to swap the harsh inner voice for one you can actually live with.
The way back after a breakup
Two weeks for someone who has been left or has left on their own. First feeling it for real, then carrying it without the collapse being bigger than it needs to be, and finally careful steps toward a life that is yours again.
21 days toward better boundaries
Three weeks for those who say yes when they mean no. Week one you map: where energy leaks, what matters most, where the boundary should be. Week two you train the words: saying no with respect, saying it without blame, repairing when it grates. Week three you turn the boundary into a habit: plans for when it gets tested, and compassion for the days it slips. You measure your work-life balance on day two and day twenty-one. The difference is yours.
The meaning month
Three weeks for the biggest questions, in the smallest possible format: one exercise a day. Week one you map: values, ikigai, the time you have. Week two you write: your life story, the eulogy, what the next chapter is called. Week three you act: value-driven steps, generosity, gratitude. You will not finish with meaning in 21 days, but you will know where yours is, and you will have started living by it.
Relationships that last
Three weeks with what research actually shows holds a couple or a friendship together: the pattern you bring into love, the art of conversation, the rules of a quarrel, and the way back after one. Not grand gestures, but the habits that make someone stay.
Courses
Master a topic from the ground up. Read and do in the order that builds on itself.
Self-compassion in three days
A short course in meeting yourself more kindly. Three days: understand, practice, and take it with you when it is needed most.
Discipline that holds
Three weeks of discipline without the whip. Week one you build small: the two-minute rule, if-then plans, a morning that carries. Week two you meet resistance: procrastination as a feeling, action before mood, one track at a time. Week three you turn habits into identity, and practice the most important thing of all: coming back after a lapse. The energy rating on day two and day twenty-one shows where the force went.
The foundations of compassion
Three weeks that train the softest of the three pillars, without becoming soft in the wrong way. Week one turns compassion inward: how you talk to yourself, how you meet a hard feeling. Week two takes it to what hurts: misses, lapses, days that fall apart. Week three turns it outward: listening, repairing, thanking, giving. You rate your self-compassion on day two and day twenty-one. Most people hear the difference already in their tone of voice.
The meaning journey
Three weeks from what matters to actually living and contributing in line with it.
Rationality in practice
Three weeks of rationality applied to real life choices, as a complement to the Foundations of Thinking course. Week one you see yourself more clearly, week two you test assumptions and values, week three you apply it to money, habits and work.
Foundations of thinking
Three weeks with the rational craft. Week one you learn to see: putting feelings into words, recognizing thinking traps, gathering worry in one place. Week two you test: is the thought true, what do you see from a distance, can it stand daylight, what does the decision look like with perspective? Week three you use: anger as information, a hard decision made clear, more of what actually works. You rate your stress on day two and day twenty-one.
Well-being coach: six weeks with the book
Thirty days from the book Välmåendecoach by Mikael Glännström, from why you are here to daring to be yourself. Six themes: direction, suffering and acceptance, thoughts and perspective, courage, you and others, and presence. Each day begins with a text from the book and continues with that chapter's exercise. Five days a week is enough; a day you miss will be waiting for you.
Psychological well-being: complete self-help program
Ninety-one days through the whole craft: the longest and most complete program in the library. Thirteen weekly themes, each standing on its own: you map where you are, teach the body calm, build habits with a motor, see and test your thoughts, work on your self-image, your emotions, forgiveness, relationships and your own independence, and land in meaning, direction and a plan that holds. You measure along the way (stress, energy, self-esteem, self-compassion, anger and relationships) so you can see what has moved. Missed days are part of the plan, not a failure: the chain is measured in weeks, not perfect days.
Challenges
Short and demanding. One thing, every day, until it sticks.
