I will keep you posted as soon as there is more to share; in … More He publicado un LIBRO! Contenta y nerviosa 🙂
Happy New Year everyone! 🙂
In this first post of 2022, I wanted to summarise some of the most effective ways of implementing (and sticking!) to new habits in our lives. Keep your mind open, your personality and preferences in mind, and read on! … More Two approaches to achieve your goals this 2022 – Which one is for you?
You probably have come across this term by now, Emotional Eating. And if you haven not, you probably have eaten “emotionally” at some point (like most of us, humble human beings). Who can blame us?

Crunchy, fried, sugary, creamy, fatty, chocolaty, oily, rich, filling, salty, melty… What do all these adjectives have in common?? They are normally related to the foods we tend to crave the most.

As they well describe it on their site: “We value the … More Shine offline – Gaining mental space
Fear is something very instinctive and inner in most human beings. It is normal to be afraid of the unknown, of changes or threats, of new things… Especially when you lack the confidence in yourself to overcome whatever is the test you are facing. In yoga, being brave is something that became important to me … More Be Brave – What would you do if you were not afraid?
I’ve recently finished another interesting book by Olivier James. This one is about how many of us these days, and our society, are affected by what he calls the Affluenza virus, which he defines as “a set of (life) values which increase our vulnerability to emotional distress. It entails placing high value on acquiring money … More Affluenza – How to be successful and stay sane by Oliver James
