I can trace this back to a specific moment—sailing the Volvo 65, for example. One day, the rain was pouring down, we all felt wet down to the bone and everyone was complaining about how miserable it was. I made a point to say something absurdly positive like, “Wow, it’s amazing how there’s more rain falling next to us than on top of our heads!” Everyone laughed, but for me, it was more than just a joke—it was a mindset shift. Even in the toughest moments, I’ve made it a sport to find the silver lining. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65d47a9ab81ae223d897fcf0/1a47d0ff-a3d8-4937-bb73-23ebbf0c994c/1727262092721.jpeg Blog - Yes, We Are Sinking… But Fantastic That We Can See the Coastline! - Positivity in Teamwork I’ve come to realize that positivity isn’t just a personal trait—it’s contagious. When you approach a situation with a smile, people want to be around you. It brings a sense of energy and openness to a team setting. I’ve seen this firsthand on the boats I’ve sailed on. Even when conditions are tough and everyone is exhausted, if you can keep a positive attitude, it boosts the team’s morale. And it’s not just about what you say—it’s how you say it. That energy spreads. In a way, being positive gives you a sense of control, especially when everything around you seems chaotic. Sometimes you can't change or control the situation around you, but what you can control is your own state of mind and perception and how you handle it. That’s where the real power lies—positivity can lead the way in every aspect of your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65d47a9ab81ae223d897fcf0/f1cb08d0-0b2f-44f7-aed1-b756bbf9bcfc/1727262126487.jpeg Blog - Yes, We Are Sinking… But Fantastic That We Can See the Coastline! - The Science of Smiling There’s actually a psychological reason why smiling works. When you smile at someone, it activates a part of their brain, the orbitofrontal cortex, which releases feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin. This is why smiles are so contagious! When I walk down the street or go to a store, I make it a point to smile so widely that people can’t help but smile back. It’s a little experiment I enjoy—and it always works. It’s the same on the boat. A positive mindset is addictive, and people want to be around others who exude that energy. We all face challenges, but the key is to see those challenges as hurdles you can overcome. You might not be able to control the situation, but you can focus on controlling how you perceive it. https://www.rosalinkuiper.com/blog/the-contrast-between-land-and-seanbsp monthly 0.5 2024-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65d47a9ab81ae223d897fcf0/cdd54e06-7458-4e35-bc41-69b264edae15/1723018817176.jpeg Blog - The contrast between land and sea  Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. We make sure we maintain a healthy gut. Falling ill onboard is a serious issue, as there isn’t much room to recover. The environment we are in is challenging and actually not so healthy at all. There is no access to fresh fruit or veggies, we are very tired most of the time, because of the lack of sleep. Sometimes when the conditions are pleasant, we have some time to catch up on some sleep, but true recovery usually only happens when we reach land at the end of a leg. Being away at sea for 20 to 40 days requires strong mental resilience. On land, you have responsibilities that you carry with you while at sea, so it's crucial to ensure everything at home is in order. For me the most significant mental preparation involves maintaining healthy relationships at home. I feel completely empowered and the best version of myself at sea when I leave home on land with a feeling of knowing everyone at home will manage in the period I’ll be away again. The life I’m living is something not many people will choose to do and I consider myself lucky to be able to have this career path which I beam and dream off and maintain good relationships with both my partner, friends and family at the same time. Keeping this balance is something that costs constant energy and dedication from all parties. Managing expectations and unconditional love is something that keeps connecting us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65d47a9ab81ae223d897fcf0/c17fbe2e-1af1-4ee7-b77f-2404e5eac5fc/1723018766226.jpeg Blog - The contrast between land and sea  - Until two and half a year ago I had to deal with a sleeping disorder; often talking in my sleep and sleepwalking. In 2021, during my time at AkzoNobel Ocean Racing, Chris Nicholson told me: ‘You are talented, but the main thing stopping you from success in sailing is your sleeping problem, after I sleepwalked onto the deck. Him saying that made me go to therapy - specifically sleep hypnosis - and that helped me enormously. Now, I can hypnotise myself to sleep which makes me sleep better than ever and I no longer talk and walk in my sleep anymore. I remember this one time at AkzoNobel during a delivery, I ran on deck in my pyjamas, panicking and shouting to the Danish Nicolai Sehested: ‘There is a cruise ship coming our way, we need to change course’. He then quickly checked the radar, but found nothing. At that moment I woke up startled and ashamed, so I rushed back to bed, realising that my sleeping disorder was a serious issue. It was clear I needed to be reliable and not endanger anyone, so I decided to start therapy sessions. That’s when I started doing the therapy sessions and it helped me overcome my disorder. My current sleeping routine when I'm sailing involves listening to the same playlist on Spotify, called ‘Jazz Vibes’. This helps me fall asleep within seconds—just thinking about it makes me yawn ;). I use noise-cancelling AirPods or noise-cancelling headphones and this combination works very well for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65d47a9ab81ae223d897fcf0/be45ee96-b8e4-4f28-a739-0a4c63160cfb/1723018301124.jpeg Blog - The contrast between land and sea  - From my experiences on sea and land, I've learned the value of living in the moment and reducing impulses. I thrive when I minimise distractions, preferring a quiet Friday night in and a good workout the next morning over a late night out. That's why I now live in a peaceful area near water, the beach, and the woods. I love being close to nature and appreciating its quietness. Crowded places, like big parties and even big supermarkets tend to overstimulate me, so I seek out calm environments where I feel most at ease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65d47a9ab81ae223d897fcf0/eb466b6d-b419-46d5-bc7d-51fdd13d4d0c/1723018661336.jpeg Blog -
