Bring Back your Creative Side
I have read multiples times that we all have a creative side. Sadly, the system does a great job taking it away from us. We end up growing up to lack that important part of us. Most of us attended a school, where we had to shut up and listen to some information in a unilateral way. Then we go to work, we start facing the real life obligations which sometimes seem to be endless. That makes us feel like we can’t afford any “Happy hour” time, which can include drawing, painting, writing or building castles with Poker cards. Sometimes it gets to the point where we maight even feel…

Lessons from 2018
The Mirror “The Mirror” is a terminology that I recently learnt after finishing the last book that I read in 2018 (which I finished on the same 31st of December). I am talking about “The four agreements”. I will include it on my future list about more books to read. In summary, the whole books explain to you why you should NEVER take anything personally. Everything we do and we say it’s a reflection of ourselves. Furthermore, if someone is rude to you, or makes a nasty comment about your body, you shouldn’t take it as a personal attack, because the reason that individual behaved like that reside in them.…

2019 Starter Pack
With the beginning of 2019, we feel it’s the right time to start working again on ourselves and improve the habits we have left behind. This includes resolutions, changes and new interests. This post is not so much about the resolutions, but about my personal Starter Pack for this year. 2018 has been an incredibly eventful year, with different chapters and experiences in my life and the results have been extremely positive for me. That’s one of the reasons I want to work harder and harder and improve myself and my life. I decided to put together a few items that will help me change some of the habits I wasn’t happy…

5 Amazing Books You Need to Read Before Going Back to the Real World
Some years ago, one of my teachers was talking about the importance of reading. He said something along the lines of “When I see a teenager reading, I think, he’s saved”. Well, that’s bullshit. I don’t think reading ANY type of book is going to save you from whatever that sentence was referring to. Some books are simply a waste of time. Nowadays, most publishers are more interested in the money the book is going to make than the quality of the book itself. Some of the books that I read in my teenage years were a waste of time. They entertained, yes, but didn’t help me learn or grow…

Waking Up Early and Gym Experience: Review
The time has come. The most expected post of the year is here because I finally did it. I woke up earlier and went to the gym before starting my job. I write this post to relate my experience, my thoughts and the pros and cons of doing this to me. Needless to say (even though I am doing it), this is only my personal experience and it doesn’t need to be the same as others (spoiler alert, is not). On a previous post, I listed a few habits that could help you be successful in your life. Going to the gym at an early hour wasn’t one of them,…

The Waste of Valuable Time
When it comes to being productive and use your time wisely, time management is one of your best weapons. I believe we all have a busy schedule. So, if we leave home at 7:30-8:00 am in the morning and arrive around 7:00 pm, we won’t have enough time to go to the gym, study, do the laundry and create whatever you are creating. It’s not about controlling every single second, it’s about being aware of how I spend your breaks and your free time. At the end of the day, thoughts are almost everything; we need to control how we think in order to care about the amount of time…
