End of the Year Resolutions
As the end of the year gets closer, many of us are have started thinking about the new year’s resolutions (I will definitely upload a post about them). Some goals like changing careers, eating healthier and learning how to code will be the result of effort and struggle. However, in a period of 2 months, there are a bunch of positive practices we can apply to some areas in our life. Some skills are easy to learn and hard to master, but there are some particular stains we want removed from our minds in order to start 2020 as clean as possible. I didn’t make any 2019 resolutions. And…

Me, Meditation and Yoga
Yoga and meditation, the 2 most popular exercises that every magazine, book, Youtube channel and platform related to mental health and improvement will recommend you. Think about it, how many times have you been told to try it? In a previous post, I was asked about my experience with meditation and, due to my lack of consistency, my point of view was too blurred to make a real conclusion. But I have been wanting to improve my “meditation skills” and make it a part of my life for a long time now. Also, the world seems to be telling me to try it again. Every time I open Medium I…

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…

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…
