Why I Started This Blog
More than a year ago I started writing posts on this blog. However, I wasn’t very sure of what I wanted to get out of it and also, how much I was going to enjoy it in the long term. After checking some of the first articles I made, I realized I had never created a post focused on the WHY of this site and of course, the reasons why I continued with it. If you read every one of my articles, it’s easy to understand the mission and the essence of the blog. However, the fact that I change topics occasionally can be misleading. The idea to open my…

Lifestyle Inflation, A New Concept To Live By
The world changes all the time, our lives change and so does our vocabulary. Over the last decade, a good amount of terms have been born and have become a part of our culture and everyday life. There is a new concept that I have heard of recently and has been an eye-opener to me. I wanted to share this with you in today’s post. LIFESTYLE INFLATION What does lifestyle inflation refer to? The best example of lifestyle inflation is when someone gets a pay rise and buys a new car that, therefore, increases his monthly car expenses, to the point where that individual never gets…

The Tendency That Kills Joy
Tired of getting messages and updates from the writers’ platform I am subscribed to (Medium), I decided to spend an entire Saturday morning reading only those amazing articles that I had put on ice over the last weeks. I get a message per day promoting a few stories that talk about the topics I like. A message per day with several articles during 2 weeks means I had a huge amount of publications to enjoy. My “Medium and chill” appointment started with one interesting post about how to become the person you want to be in the future. Now, writers in this platform are highly skilled and organized. I could…

A Little Bit More About Happiness
Only 3 days after publishing “Requiem for happiness“, where I speak about my favourite views in relation to happiness and the different theories that study how to achieve that bliss in your life, the book I was reading took me by surprise by bringing up this topic. “The Slight Edge” takes the subject to a different level in order to prove a single theory concerning a fulfilled lifestyle and personal development. The author provides the theory about development and growth and applies its practice to every area of life. I take very seriously my duty of keeping you updated with the latest news and discoveries regarding a happy lifestyle, so…

You Will Fall Asleep in 3…2…1…NOW!
Spending the night awake or with little sleep is a straight path to feeling negative and exhausted the following day. Our productivity and mood are affected dramatically by our sleep quality. Unfortunately, some of us have a hard time falling asleep and even when we succeed, we are prone to wake up by the most insignificant noise. Maybe you wake up in the middle of the night with an empty stomach. Or you may feel thirsty, or a fly simply decided to fly near your bed. The thing is, after waking up, your sleeping pattern is broken…all the effort trying to get to snooze for this. This experience often results…

Requiem for Happiness
I thought about talking about a bit of a different topic since we are creatures desperately looking for happiness. It’s everything we want, which is simple, but not easy ultimately. We follow everything that we think will make us happier, from buying new TVs to a bigger house, and most times we end up with a feeling of having been scammed. That’s the reason to find multiple books that study the keys to be happy. Both philosophy and self-help books try to make us achieve a better version of ourselves and upgrade our mental wellness and quality life. However, many of them disagree with the other’s theories. Who’s right and…
