We’re always afraid of something. It’s part of our human nature and it’s a survival instinct. When we’re afraid of something we tend to avoid that thing or to run away from it, which will strengthen both the fear and our response to it. However, fear is just an emotion, just like joy. It’s not our boss to tell us what to do, but somehow … Continue reading Why is Fear so Important?
As you might know, I watch a lot of YouTube videos with different kind of successful people and I noticed that a lot of them talk about avoiding regret as a motivation to do things. Because of this, I remembered about a study that targeted the presence or the absence of regret. I want to share again with you the post I wrote about this … Continue reading The Regret of doing things vs The Regret of not doing things – Reblog
Each action we make involves some energy, but where is all that energy coming from? You surely noticed that we feel more energized when we do certain actions compared with others even though no additional energy came in. It seems that whenever we like something, we somehow find more energy to invest in that something compared to when we don’t like it. In … Continue reading Your Emotion is Your Energy
This time of the year allows us to get together with most of our family and friends. In my opinion, this is a great opportunity to observe what kind of an influence those people have over our lives. Friends and family are great sources of joy or frustration. It is important to know each is each in order for us to be confident about the … Continue reading Surround yourself with greatness

we never know what is right and what is wrong. They’re just the scales. Whatever you think, whatever your perspectives are, they all are right, but also they all are wrong. So, all the rights and wrongs cancel each other, we get the net result, a Zero. Continue reading || Right, Wrong and Zero ||
A few days ago someone asked me the following question: “Why should I go to a therapist? Why should I go to a total stranger to reveal my deepest thoughts and experiences? I have friends I can share whatever I want with!” I found this to be a pretty good question. Why indeed would we go to a stranger to be the most vulnerable … Continue reading The need for therapy
I believe that changing our mindsets will change our lives. There isn’t a right recipe for this because we are all different and since we are different, we have different mindsets. We might have the same thoughts from time to time, but how we came up with those thoughts differs from a person to another because of the experiences we had in life which … Continue reading Become My Patron
According to Wikipedia, “Mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present moment.” I’m sure most of you have heard about this and you practice it from time to time. I myself do also practice it from time to time and it is a constant battle between present and future. I try to enjoy the present moments whilst … Continue reading A few words about Mindfulness
Imagine having a magic house that can be as small as you want or as big as you want. In this house, you have to live your whole life. Imagine that in this house you can do whatever you want. You can change from being sad to being happy simply by changing the room you’re in. You can have as many big rooms as … Continue reading The Perfect Place might exist
I’m not going to try to answer this question from a technological point of view, but rather from a psychological one. How often are we saying to ourselves that when we’ll get something we’ll be happier? How many times we’re letting the tomorrow interfere with the today? How many opportunities to be happy we’re missing just because we’re thinking about something in the future … Continue reading Are we living in the future?
All of us have addictions, but do we realize it? When I say addictions, I’m not talking only about substances (like drugs, nicotine or alcohol), I’m also talking about addictions to actions (like playing video games, watching movies or reading books) and addictions to certain people. I think that, in essence, addictions are ways to briefly escape the cruel reality. All of us … Continue reading Addictions
Have you ever wondered how this law of attraction works? In theory, if you have positive thoughts, the universe will give you positive things, and if you have negative thoughts, the universe will give you negative things. It’s pretty straight forward, right? Let’s have a closer look. I don’t know how much the universe is involved in all of this, but here’s how … Continue reading A few words about The Law of Attraction
Dealing with automatic thoughts is not easy, but ignoring them can create the frustrations bubble. Basically, those automatic thoughts we ignore create feelings that we ignore. Ignoring them won’t make them disappear, instead they will pile up into a bubble until it’s too big to handle and then it explodes. When a bubble like this explodes, it creates a big mess behind. Not … Continue reading The Frustrations Bubble
In my opinion, movies are the closest thing to a complete expression of an idea. A movie has words, images, music and behavior and all together can get the closest to what it’s in its creator’s mind. If we think about this, sometimes a movie can have an only purpose – to get that idea out in the world. It might be considered a … Continue reading Thoughts about Movies
Many times I’ve wondered what are our true reasons we behave as we do. Is it our purpose in life? What a purpose in life really represents? Is it going for something or is it running from something? Based on what we decide how should we act in every moment? I’m proposing a theory based on two feelings: pleasure and fear. I think … Continue reading The Pleasure and Fear Theory
Wondering about how and why our feelings are changed, I bumped into another potential reason. Expectations are the ones that bring us down when they are not met and they also bring a little joy into our lives when everything happens as we predicted. Is this a good or a bad thing? Of course, this is debatable. It might be a good thing … Continue reading The Impact of Having Expectations
Have you ever wonder why do we get angry? I know it’s because of some situations or because of some people, but that is not the real reason. We get angry because of what we think about the situation or about the person, and most of the times it is connected with the feeling of loss. I think that we get angry because somehow … Continue reading The Loss Feeling
I often find myself full with strong feelings like anxiety or anger and even the most insignificant things can trigger an inappropriate response full of rage from my behalf. As I pointed in an older post, to get in control of my emotions I have to get in control of my thoughts. The process of monitoring and understanding our own thoughts is called introspection. … Continue reading Mindful Introspection
