The brain is a super powerful thing, specially when We sleep & Wake up

Don't waste this super power. Before to sleep, REFLECT about your day. REVIEW your personal goals /objectives. Be THANKFUL. 

The last images and thoughts at night before we sleep are very important for the brain. Why? Because the brain keeps wandering about it while sleeping. 

It is similar in the morning. The first thoughts and activities we do once waking up have a lasting effect during the whole day. 

Please don't check your phone straight away after waking up 🙏🏼. Why? Because you don't know what you might find there, a work email, messages, negative news... Instead, choose to have input from something uplifting and inspiring, music, thinking of dreams, exercise. 

The impact of this will last for the whole day.

The thing most people don’t seem to have time for and matters the most

It’s funny we are given everything we need to feel well.

Today dear friend, I invite you to breathe deeply, accept the challenges of life as what is normal in life, and appreciate, be grateful for all the...

What inspires you?

Life is so much better when we feel inspired. I feel inspired by drinking a coffee in a library. Inspired by having a conversation with an old friend. By listening to an inspiring podcast, by listening to a book. By drawing and writing in my ideas notebook. By creating new websites. By sharing a brunch with my partner. By riding the bicycle and listening to music. By taking a cold-hot-cold shower.  What makes you feel inspired? I hope you can do more of that because that’s when the best ideas come. “Live by inspiration not by obligation”.  Sergio

The hardest thing of this year

I think the hardest thing I did this year was to allow myself to cry, and in front of someone else.  Some things that seem just natural for many people, but so hard for others. And how liberating at the same time.  I didn’t learn how to cry, or maybe I forgot, so I’m learning now, and finally realising about its healing power.  I thought I was being though and strong, but in many cases I now understand I was just missing out on the magic of crying and letting the emotions out.  It’s not an easy thing, it took me a while and still learning.
