Mindfulness

Looking to level up your relationships? Look no further than Stoicism, the OG Greek philosophy that's been dropping truth bombs since 300 BC. Yep, that's right, these ancient dudes knew a thing or two about improving your bonds – whether it's with your family, your significant other, or even your annoying co-worker. So, what's the secret sauce?

We are currently in a world driven by technology and science at the forefront, yet the allure of mysticism and the unknown continues to captivate many. Oracle and Tarot cards, ancient divination tools with roots in various cultures, have persisted through the ages as instruments for gaining insight, guidance, and self-discovery. Much like ancient keys unlocking hidden chambers, these decks invite us to embark on a journey of introspection, empowerment, and connection with the mystical forces that weave through our lives.

Step outside and let nature work its magic on your weary soul. It's the ultimate restorative, the secret sauce to inner peace that can zap you with a mega dose of energy and a shiny new personality. Science, ever the keen observer, has caught on to this phenomenon. In a nifty study, participants were subjected to the awe-inducing beauty of nature scenes, causing their brain to sparkle like a Fourth of July fireworks display.

Looking on the bright side could be the secret to a long and prosperous life, according to a bunch of researchers in the USA. They discovered that those with a sunnier disposition are more likely to live longer and achieve "exceptional longevity," reaching a ripe old age of 85 or more. But hold on, what exactly is this optimism we're talking about?

I'd simply like to write about what I think is a good way to start this year, start each day and then let this be the feeling of the day, the year, the now. This way it doesn't belong to anyone, no one came up with it, there is no book to buy, no course to go on, no subscription and no further questions should be required, perhaps a re-read until it sinks in.
