How I Failed to Become an Early Riser
Everyone talks about how important for your success it is to wake up early, as it is supposed to make it easier to achieve more. For many people that don’t have to wake up early because of work or school, it is quite difficult to be able to wake up to the alarm. I guess the main problem is that there is no real motivation to wake up, so it is much more satisfying to just push the snooze button [...]
Achieve All Your Dreams by Overcoming Your Fears
I watched the movie Donnie Darko yesterday, which is a really good movie by the way and I suggest you to watch it too, if you haven’t already. There was a motivational speaker character in the movie called Jim Cunningham, who was talking about two main forces in life: Fear and Love. We were going to find out later in the movie that this guy was a pedophile (sorry for the spoiler) and a joke in [...]
100 Reasons to Be Happy Today
After seeing a lot of different lists online, I began to wonder if I could make a list of 100 reasons that could be applicable for anyone to be happy today. At first it seemed to be a really hard task, if not impossible, but after really hard thinking I actually was able to come up with 100 things that can help us to remember to be happy every day. If you like this list, you can bookmark it and [...]
How to Stop Procrastinating
I just love this topic as it is one of my own very personal problems – or at least was for a long time. When I was studying in the university, I always left everything for the last possible minute and I often even started to study for an exam only a couple of hours before the start of it. Of course I was then very efficient because I was in a small panic and didn’t have any choice but to [...]
How to Become More Assertive
We all know different types of people in our society. There are aggressive persons who are rude and willing to do anything to meet their needs by bullying other people. Then everyone probably knows people who are very passive and are so concerned about what other people think about them that they just go with the crowd without thinking or expressing too much of their own needs. The right balance [...]
How to Get Over Someone
Did the relationship with someone you thought you would share the rest of your life with just come to an end? Doesn’t it feel miserable as you are trying to figure out how to get over someone you have loved and broke your heart? Do you feel that he or she was the one – your soul mate – and you feel like you will never be able to find anything like that again? The worst case scenario is if [...]
Top 10 Superfoods
Superfoods are the most nutrient-rich foods available, promoting wellness, overall health and weight control. Eaten regularly they also lower the risk of getting cancer and help us satisfy the nutrient needs that we usually have if we eat like the average person nowadays eats – without thinking too much what the food actually does for us. I wanted to make a list of the 10 best superfoods that [...]
The Nice Guy –Syndrome
This is something that we keep on hearing all the time: “So sad that she dumped him – he is such a nice guy”. It must be the biggest mystery of the universe, because it doesn’t seem to make any sense: Why would a woman want to be treated like shit? Everyone of us knows good guys that keep on failing in relationships over and over again and usually we think that it is the woman’s fault, [...]
How to Be a Real Man
There are many ways to define a man and nowadays the male role model is anything but a clear and simple concept. More often men have lived their childhood without seeing their fathers every day and in the kindergarten and school most of the teachers are females, so the time spent with grown up men in the childhood is very small for many guys. The social environment gives us many different ideas [...]
Law of Attraction
Have you ever noticed that there are many people who seem to find themselves in bad relationships over and over again? What about people who seem to attract perfect opportunities in their lives all the time and end up being successful whereas other people keep on wondering what their secret is? The law of attraction is one thing that delivers people both what is wanted and unwanted. The main idea [...]
You Are What You Eat
I have spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out what really is the healthiest way of eating. We are confronted all the time with different kinds of information regarding nutrition, so it is not always easy to know where the truth lies. Here's my point of view: I believe that the two main reasons for modern diseases are the invention of agriculture some 10 000 years ago and big food [...]
How to Get Rid of Addictions
Some people seem to be more prone to addictions than others. There can be various causes for this, such as environmental influence and genetics, and addiction is probably caused by a combination of these. An addictive personality may be addicted to different things, which affects the treatment of addiction importantly. Recovery is based on getting to know one’s addictive personality and taking [...]
How to Replace Your Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are one of the major things preventing us from succeeding in our lives and doing all the things that we are capable of doing and would enjoy the most. They are even more important than concepts like self-confidence, effective time management or effective goal setting because we will never be able to even get to these ideas if our limiting beliefs are stopping us before we get [...]
What If You Die Tomorrow?
It is very common in our society that you might be financially well off but still are not satisfied with your life. Reason for this is that money or stuff you can buy does not fulfill the deepest need inside of us which is to live according to our passions. In reality, a career and lots of money is worth nothing if the cost is your own fulfillment and happiness. It is just a huge illusion and [...]
