How To Boost Your Self-Confidence The Easy Way
When we were kids, we used to think about the future in the most positive way. We knew what we wanted to be in the future. People would ask us something along the lines of: “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, and the answer would be something like: “Actress“, “Secret Spy“, “Pirate“. Other kids already had more realistic dreams like being a teacher or a vet. However, most of us changed our dreams and adapted them to new circumstances. That is completely fine. We change our minds, grow up and find different professions we want to learn and master. We dream about mastering something,…

Self-Care Calendar
Self-care is probably one of the most underrated things ever. If we are having a busy day, the “self-care” time is usually one of those moments we skip in order to make the most of our day. However, self-care is also an amazing way to reduce stress and feel better for a few minutes. I usually don’t do this every single day. Not because of the lack of time, but because there are many different ways to practise self-care and the best way to do them is to prepare a calendar with your favourite ones. I have prepared my own calendar with a few self-care activities for the…

Self-Growth vs Adulthood, The Biggest Trap You Can Fall Into
As kids, we get used to looking up to adults. We get used to seeing them as something superior and wiser than us.

And because we were kids, we were unconsciously aware of our lack of understanding of the world. Also, some other people who are closer to us, like our parents, got this same benefit as other adults did. We would believe our parents over our teachers and our teacher over any…

The 7 Simple Factors That Helped Me Become Minimalist
Last year, I started reading some articles, and also did my own research about a certain movement. I knew the word “minimalism” was related to art and design. However, the minimalist lifestyle got my attention when I started to really understand it. The concept of living with less. It didn’t seem too appealing to me at first. I thought the term was related to wearing the same every day and not using any cosmetics at all, but I kept doing my research and ended up discovering that minimalism could be applied to every person in a different way. It’s true that in general, more minimal lifestyles deny excess and clutter.…

Do I Have An Addiction?
Have you ever wondered if that passion you have on your free time has started to become something more than just a hobby? Have you ever wondered if you could be developing an addiction to some unusual hobby? When we hear the word “addiction“, we often think about drugs, gambling, alcoholism… It is true that society is opening up lately and unmasking some other new practices as addictions too. We read about teenagers being addicted to video games, “shopaholics” and so on, but it’s still hard to recognize other seemingly harmless behaviours, for example, to spend too much time checking websites or social media, even if you are not taking…

The Reason Why You Buy More Than You Need
Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to witness many people wasting money to buy more than they actually need. There can be many reasons that explain this habit. We all know a bunch of people that splurge and make poor financial decisions. We can classify them and make a fast analysis of their life and also ours to find out why we end up buying more than we need and often throw money away in order to get things we don´t need. I have collected a few theories based on random people that I met at some point in my life, including myself. Let me know if you…
