I do believe people are inherently evolved to feel uncertainty and similarly to entropy which grows over time, our uncertainty, if left unchecked, grows over time. When you have a random toothache and you don’t do anything about it for months, unless you are medicating somehow, you probably won’t feel more confident that it’s goingContinue reading “People leadership: removing uncertainty”

Why do we have a stigma around trauma?
#notADoctor We do have a stigma around trauma. We don’t talk about our experiences with our friends, we don’t ask for help and most of us either won’t or are not able to speak to a therapist. So why is that? There are several things in play. First of all, we don’t have the languageContinue reading “Why do we have a stigma around trauma?”
How do we measure mindfulness?
Mindfulness, yoga, and spirituality have interesting features which I still wonder about. And that is that we can’t quantify the progress easily. I can explain what has changed, but can’t put any tangible measurement to it. In the Western world, we currently live in a performance-focused era, where we are always in the face ofContinue reading “How do we measure mindfulness?”
Why we don’t design organisational processes the same as products?
If you work in an organization, take a look at how your internal processes come about. If you are an organization, look inside yourself, become aware, and ponder. Control is preceded by awareness after all. I do believe that most of you will find that there are significantly different approaches and quality of user experienceContinue reading “Why we don’t design organisational processes the same as products?”
Impostor syndrome. We have knees?!
Imagine yourself living in a world where you don’t see anyone’s legs and no one talks about them. Everyone goes around their life as normal, you just don’t have awareness of people’s legs. There is a twist though. You don’t know that you have knees, you basically, can’t bend your legs in a middle. SoContinue reading “Impostor syndrome. We have knees?!”
Not everything needs a solution
“Do this….”. “Do that… every day.” I find that for something to be popular nowadays, it has to offer a solution or at least pretend to have one. And solutions are important! However, every piece of content nowadays seems to have traits of self-help books. They explain a negative human trait in easy-to-understand analogies andContinue reading “Not everything needs a solution”
The practical case for meditation
Have you ever lied in your bed in the middle of the night annoyed, angry just repeating the same thing over and over to yourself? Justifying it more and more, digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. “I will show them tomorrow morning! HOW COULD THEY COME UP WITH THAT?! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!”Continue reading “The practical case for meditation”
Is happiness better than the absence of unhappiness?
Do you want to feel happy or would you prefer not to feel unhappy? The western world is running away from unhappiness and suffering. We don’t talk about it, we don’t accept it, and any expression of it will make us look odd. It has been amazing that it is changing but there is stillContinue reading “Is happiness better than the absence of unhappiness?”
Mindfulness as a supplement for our minds
It seems like it has been quite a few years since the fitness and health world has been overflown by supplements. We get everything from electrolytes, vitamins, dry offals, and 20 types of grass in one pill. More omega-3, less omega-6. Pre-workouts, post-workouts, mid-workouts. Surprisingly, one constant in that world is creatine. If we takeContinue reading “Mindfulness as a supplement for our minds”
How does it feel in your head?
For a lot of us it’s not a great place. Being on your own, you go trough a lot and it’s boredom in the good case. How does it feel to be on your own? It’s strange to be your own nemesis. It’s strange to set yourself to fail. Time after time. No learning, justContinue reading “How does it feel in your head?”
