Everyone can learn to be happier #happiness #buddhism
I am ready to move to the next level in learning to meditate and self discovery and I believe I can achieve this by learning more about Buddhism. I am not interested in theory per se, I am after practical knowledge … Continue reading
When your negativity alarm goes off, keep your energy safe in the happiness bubble
Jack Black studied and coached extraordinary, very successful people for a long time. In the process, he narrowed down their success to 5 characteristics, one of them being an unshakable positive mental attitude. Jack then shared a simple, yet very effective … Continue reading
Video blogging as a self-introspection and self-discovery tool
Grace and Frankie on Netflix is a hilarious, but also very smart show. It’s there that I’ve seen Frankie use video blogging to self analyse and get to the bottom of things. It’s used privately, a bit like writing in … Continue reading

Surviving The Negativity Tornado
I had a really stressful week. I had to deal with some deeply unconscious, ego driven people who completely forgot they were mortal. There was no way around it, and I was not intending to let negativity take over me, so … Continue reading
Need More Than 24 Hours A Day? Think Again
In my recent post about stress I have discovered that apparently stress has same physical symptoms as courage (this is not scientific but seems plausible enough), so in some cases it may make sense to reframe feeling stressed as being brave. … Continue reading
How To Overcome The Temptations
I have been working on self development, or self improvement, however you call it, for now almost 15 years, perhaps even more. Over the years I have uncovered a variety of truths – underlying motivations behind my actions, implications of … Continue reading
The True Colours Of Auroras
I would have never thought that auroras – which I imagined were mostly green – only appear as green when we view them with our eyes at night. Change the viewing instruments and all sorts of colours come out! How amazing … Continue reading
How Can I Help This Person?
We covered it here before – giving back, helping others, asking yourself, as they say in the Bucket List, has your life brought joy to others? In his post for Linkedin, Bruce Kasanoff proposes a great idea – thinking ‘How can … Continue reading
Stop It!
