Depression can make us really selfish. At least this is what it did to me. I used to function in a way that I put everyone before me. I really wasn’t a selfish person, even when I’d needed to be, for my own good. Setting some healthy boundaries just wasn’t my thing. The difference between … Read more
Have you ever wondered why do we dream? An interesting video about dreams. What about you, do you dream a lot or you can’t remember dreaming at all? When do your dreams change?
A few years ago, I’ve decided to make some improvements in my life, after I’ve been struggling with way too many health issues. I was always very much into medicine and science, so the biohacking looked like a perfect solution for the new me. Better, stronger and for most, healthier version of myself. This could … Read more
I came across an interesting talk about attention. I practice mindfulness for quite a while and it’s been really helpful so far. But you need to be consistent.
