#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?”
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?”
Organisational transformation – how to save big bucks in one simple step
If you are one of the none CEOs who read my blog, you are immediately hooked. “What is this magic step?! Hope it is better than those three magic beans I bought last year! … Maybe I shouldn’t have bought them refried…” If that is your chain of thought, you are exactly in the rightContinue reading “Organisational transformation – how to save big bucks in one simple step”
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
To decide or not to decide. That is the question. If there is no free will, do decisions exist? After this deep start, we are going back to the topic and that is making decisions. Originally, this thought started with me getting flustered by tech articles and I was wondering what it was that rubbedContinue reading “Decisions, decisions, decisions…”
