Anna Ternheim · The Nightvisitor with Anna Ternheim

I’m getting ready from Christmas, I’m being haunted by demons. Last week I felt my pulse rise and that familiar knot in my throat, my first instinct was to run faster but…nah…it’s not worth it. I decided to check out early instead, cancel plans and not meet deadlines. People will get pissed off, nasty things will be said but I’m ready to face the consequences.

I need to reclaim time, its it’s a thug of war between me and my conscious, between me and my work, between me and those who rely on me answering emails so they can have time off. I plant my feet firmly in the ground, lean back and pull hard. I don’t let people in when they buzz the front door and I set my phone to flight mode.

It worked. In this very moment- I feel peaceful. I went swimming this morning and now I’m writing these lines -recording a little thing that might put a smile on your face. No demons in here, not right now at least. See you in 2025.

Have a wonderful Christmas

Much love

Anna
