Understanding ourselves and the world we live in.
Today I came across this idea that got stuck in my head: we give what we want to receive. The problem with this is that there are times when it creates more damage instead of doing good. Why? Because people are different and they have different needs. It manifests the most when there is... Continue Reading →
Have you ever given an advice and the person that received it did nothing with it? How did you felt when that happened? Even though people need advices, they’re not always prepared to receive it because they’re not prepared to act upon it. Maybe they can’t or maybe they don’t want to do... Continue Reading →
Continuing the not-so-common types of therapies series, I’m writing a few words about the dance/movement therapy (also called dance movement psychotherapy in UK). “DMT (or DMP) is the psychotherapeutic use of movement and dance to support intellectual, emotional, and motor functions of the body. As a modality of the creative arts therapies, DMT looks at the correlation between movement and... Continue Reading →
What do you do in the first minutes of your morning? What about the first hour? It seems that our morning has the power to decide our day. Do you pay attention to it? Due to my tight schedule, lately I’m not paying so much attention to my morning routine as I used... Continue Reading →
Have you ever heard about music therapy?

In the search of creating a post, I stumbled across this video that reminded me something I often forget: perfection is a self-imposed standard impossible to achieve. But we all want to achieve it in whatever we do. It’s healthy to strive for perfection, but it’s not healthy to expect to achieve it.... Continue Reading →
Well, it doesn’t, but we surely think so from time to time. Today I encountered some problems that shouldn’t exist in the first place, but hey, at least, I didn’t got bored. Anyway, this made me think about the post I wrote a while back about problems so I want to share it with... Continue Reading →
How often do you have a crazy idea and after that you think it will never become a reality? You get from excited to sad very quickly, don’t you? That’s because the actual reality doesn’t match with the future one if you don’t know how it can be done. And that happens all the... Continue Reading →
Lately, my life got very busy and I started to ignore the goals I’ve set to myself. Because of it, I did a quick search here, on PO, because I know I wrote something about goals a while back. This post reminded that we can do anything and everything we set our mind to... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered from where do our thoughts and feelings come? I’m currently reading Incognito by David Eagleman and in the first half of this book I got the idea that somehow our conscious self is the last one to know about… everything. The underlying processes decide everything and we are informed about... Continue Reading →
A few days ago, I was watching an episode of The Middle together with my wife. At a certain point, one of the characters started talking about what’s happening when we die. Basically, we get a funeral stone on which it is written the date we were born, a dash and the date we... Continue Reading →

Provided by Ramon Colon from http://www.zerowastedude.com The topic of business cards as a minimalist and as a person trying to reduce my waste is one that I struggle a lot.

It might sound tough, but we’re not flawless and we’re not perfect. Because we’re “only” humans. The thing is that from time to time we find it very hard to accept it when it comes to us, but we tend to be indulgent when it comes to other people. Yes, it is true and... Continue Reading →

Problems are everywhere and they are never-ending. And still… we try to dodge them as the devil dodges holy water. We somehow have the idea that being happy and fulfilled means we have no problems. I believe this is wrong. Being happy has nothing to do with the amount of problems we have, but... Continue Reading →
