It’s on my to-do list. I will do it, eventually.

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. First of all, not all of us have to-do lists. Second, sometimes we add tasks just to tick them off. Third, we don’t dare to add tasks that we (somewhere deep down) know, we won’t do. But that is not because we are lazy. No. There…

When is it okay to take a break? Do you really need a break?

Remember when we were kids and played sudden catch or shot go or any of those running games we would just say “Time please” when we got tried and then say “over” and restart the game. It was that simple. Not waiting till the last moment to say “time please”, taking a short break and…

What would you do today, if there was no tomorrow?

We hear this a lot: Live like today is your last day. Present is a present enjoy it. Live in now. Now is the time. But honestly, no matter how hard you try, you cannot really do it. You need to think of the future because even though tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, tomorrow can come and…

Why is building good habits so hard!

We become what we repeatedly do. ― Sean Covey, The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens What we repeatedly do = our habits. However, it is so easy to pick up the bad ones and so damn hard to stick to the good ones. Why so? It’s easy to go for junk food but having a fruit…

One minute of mindfulness ✨

For the remaining days of the year try to Be Real as much as you can

On August 31st I clicked my first BeReal. You have to understand that when you click BeReal, the front and back, both cameras are activated together. There is no place to hide, clean up and stage this picture. It is, what it is. Anyone can tap and view fullscreen both the front and back camera…

If you fail, try again. Or maybe not.

Bravery isn’t just in starting over, it is also in giving up. When you really want something, you want to give your 200%. This hard work is not optional. It is essential. A lot of times you hear people talking about putting in smart work and not hard work but when you look at all…
