We always pretend that we want to get the best out of our lives, but what do we do in our daily lives to make that happen? It is good to reflect on the activities you undertake on a daily basis and you may come to the conclusion that it is time to introduce a little more variety and challenge. Let me show you some examples…

1. Limiting Electronics and Social Media
2. Gain new experiences
3. Take the time to relax
4. Set boundaries and learn to say ‘no’
5. Find a passion of fun activity
6. Step outside your comfort zone
7. Follow successful people
8. being in the moment

1. Limiting Electronics and Social Media

Nowadays everyone is glued to his/her phone and I also catch myself that I live far too little in reality and that I connect with what is happening around me. By reducing your screen time you will notice that you become much less irritable and can experience more peace. All very nice instastories where others are enjoying, but the intention is that you can experience those nice things YOURSELF!!!

2. Find a passion or fun activity

People with a passion are driven and motivated to get up every day. They get energy from the activity they enjoy. What is your passion? What makes you happy? What did you like to do as a child? Such questions can make you stop and dig deep to find your answer and thus get more out of life.

3. Take time to relax

Always busy and running and flying for everything and everyone. We sometimes forget our own needs and one of those things is to relax and unwind. You can decide for yourself how you are going to handle this. Take a bath, binge-watch that nice series, take a nice walk, do yoga or maybe take an afternoon nap. There is nothing wrong with doing ‘nothing at all’, because in fact you are charging to get more out of your life!

4. Set boundaries and learn to say ‘no’

By always answering ‘yes’ to everything, you sometimes forget what your own needs are. There is nothing wrong with saying ‘no’ to protect your own boundaries. Check whether something gives you energy or makes you tired. When you say “no” to others, you are actually saying “yes” to yourself. You will become less overstimulated and prevent mental stress.

5. Gain new experiences

Have you been wanting to visit a museum for a long time?, make a painting or perhaps a day at the spa? Don’t wait any longer for others and go out and about! By expanding your experiences your life will already look very different, you will meet new people, see other places and you can find out where your real interests are – ideal!!

6. Step outside your comfort zone

It’s very easy to get stuck in the same routine all the time. You go to work, meet up with your girlfriend every Saturday, visit the same places and avoid anything even slightly unexpected. You want to do something about this, but you don’t know where to start. Start with small changes, start a language course, talk to a stranger every day or maybe you want to go abroad for six months. Just do it!

7. Follow successful people

Nothing is more inspiring than hearing the success stories of people who have created their ideal career, made a lot of money or found the love of their life. Sometimes we forget that we only see the end station of these people. Starting your dream is always difficult, but by surrounding yourself with people who have the same dream as you, you get one step closer. Listen to podcast, read more or simply chat with these successful people.

8. Being in the moment

This is perhaps the most important to really experience life to the fullest. You can worry about what happened in the past and what will happen in the future, but we know deep down that this only creates unnecessary stress and fear about all kinds of scenarios about what could have been done differently or wrong. can go. By living in the here and now you get more peace and focus on what you are doing.

“If you’re feeling anxiety or depression, you’re not in the present. Either you look anxiously to the future, or you are depressed and stuck in the past. The only thing you have control over is the present moment.”

She’s not weak

She did not leave

Absent is the correct word when someone disappears for an indefinite period of time and does not speak up.

 That doesn’t mean that the contact or feeling has been diluted.

On the contrary, thoughts about that person appear in the vague dreams she has

For anyone who feels abandoned or misunderstood, alone, not hearing anything but still wanting an answer,

The answer lies with yourself you choose what you do with someone else’s choice

A choice you don’t understand doesn’t always have to be a bad thing 

now you might not see it but this is the perfect time when two people with a deep connection are separated to create your own way. 

A road yours alone is no one to let you down a street 

no distraction, total focus

When I feel good everyone is around me

But they don’t even know me for real

I can’t not believe that those who are around me, aren’t even try to look at the real me.

They don’t see all the pain from today and yesterday .

I was crying in bed all things that were happened that day.

People will always be selfish because they scared of losing there own things.

Suppressing there feelings with handmade knifes.

Your scars are beautiful. You are broken. You are damaged. You are hurt. If not for all the pain and suffering, how could we be grateful for everything that’s good about us?

I know how it feels to be sick from the inside sick from the outside I dont know what I look like. Too afraid to scared to look in the mirrow and say hey you actually really beautifull.

People are suffering from all kinds of diseases.

Dont know the route cause.

It’s difficult to deal with it

because of all the symptoms to dealing with

And deep inside you know you are stronger then giving up.

You can make A difference so what’s up?

I’m making some slow progress but it’s still progress. Do you still think you’re weak?

You don’t see what others see.

You’ve been strong this whole time.

Thinking about thinks you can’t do and just wanna cry.

I just wanna lay in bed thinking about nothing.

When I sleep i dont have pain or feelings.

connection is so important, it can do everything with a human being.

You can go worse or you get better.

Don’t let people you effect in the wrong way.

When you let someone, you become addicted to the wrong attention.

The actions that do you ain’t your choice.

Sometimes is just the best to say nothing.

People will not hear you scream.

A scream for help

A scream for compassion

But no one seems to here you.

Only one little voice inside you tells you :

You can’t change something that you can’t control.

That’s impossible !

“When the world says “give up”

Hope whispers

“Try it one more time”

You see a spot and I see sadness

My skin has taken over my entire life

I only have bad dreams now

I could dream of a normal healthy skin, while you are dreaming of getting rich

I will feel rich with skin as soft as silk

Then we both know that perfection does not exist

But you can work towards it

And that’s what I’m doing now

Striving for a life where I can give others what I would like to experience myself

Love

Love for yourself and love for someone else

A lot has changed

Hope the change that I’m going through all has a reason

Think of things as a challenge 

A challenge to grow

Or shrink

Feeling so small again that something tells you to do it differently

That you are looking over something

Perhaps the most important 

Yourself

You often forget to help yourself grow

Instead others in your environment grow, but you don’t grow along

You stay small

So small

That the world seems too big to deliver what you really want

Never play hard never play fake

They are the weak ones the ones that people believe

I see the fake news on the gram

Someone’s life isn’t going great and people are like damn

So nothing seems the same as it seems like

A beautiful picture almost perfect

The girl with the slim waist and a big booty

Her glowing skin and her make up is on fire

But her heart isn’t anymore

She feels empty inside

The only lightness that she gets are nice comments on her posts looking like a happy perfect girl

She wished she was the same as before 

She knows deep inside she has to change her mind instead of her body

Change your mind to change your life

Perfection doesn’t exist !

There were times where it was less

Continued but not that I forgot

Forgot of how unfair it was

How unfairly I was treated

They say rules cannot be broken

But you have to make your own rules

Nobody can touch me

Touch me with words, touch me with deeds, always come up with fake stories

I would see right through you

Every story has a side, but never that you were on my side

You say you know nothing but why do you play blond?

I’m not blond colored, but I’m versatile

See myself already shining at the top

I never stop

Giving up is for the weak

Sometimes sadness let you fall deep but that happens

and those times will be temporary

Just like numbers

As if that second chance is coming

I will keep dreaming

Double numbers that I see everyday at 22:22 and 11:11

”it’s a sign that things will change for the better”

Sunny day, new possibilities
Everything is allowed, no responsibilities
Sometimes we don't know what to expect
Feeling each other's interests is a strength
Many people share things out of impotence

Writing is not for the smartest
Writing doesn't have to feel like an obligation
You use your words to make your feelings felt in someone else

We both see what we mean
You're actually saying you see me
The person behind the wild curls and make up

Appearance should not play a role
You connect by letting your eyes speak
If you look really closely, you will see that my eyes are more than an Iris and a pupil

Stories so great and unlikely
Real feeling people see this difference
The difference between appearance and reality

Be real or just pretend
The choice is in you

Hello beautiful people,

My name is Nadia and I am 21 years old. I started my healing journey in 2019 when I stopped using topical steroids for my worsening eczema and many other symptoms! Little did I know that I had a long, arduous journey ahead of me. I was curious about alternative medicine and came across plant-based foods. I was still eating junk food, but I had dumped the finished products and I already know a lot better! In 2020 I found the concept of ‘Whole food planted-based diet’ and became vegan for all the right reasons. For the , animals and my health. I also had extra weight due to the high processed foods and high fat foods I ate. In the summer of this crazy year 2020 I had a lot of fruit 🍉 🍇 !!!! I didn’t force myself, I just ate an abundance of grapes, smoothies, watermelons, mangoes etc. That’s how I finally found my story: a raw concrete answer with lots of fruit This is a small explanation of my story I’m happy to tell you more!!!

So why is it that people go vegetarian or vegan these days? There are so many restaurants now that offer options available for vegetarians and vegans. We live in a world where we don’t know better then eating our meat and drinking our milk to get our B12 and calcium. Thats what you hear all the time. When you live a vegan lifestyle you don’t consume any animal products at all. But why are people eating this way? Like don’t they miss the burgers and treats that they used to like. Well in 2020 is isn’t that hard to eat plant based, because there are so many options right now. We have vegan cheeses and butters, veggie nuggets and burgers. Vegan ice cream, cakes and cookies. So if its about the food you don’t have to worry that you will miss anything. I still would recommend to implement as much whole fresh foods as possible 😉

The reason behind veganism is that we life in a world where we humans destroy our planet, the environment and the animal cruelty. We use animals for food but not in a way that is healthy. In this blog I’m gonna talk about things that we as humans can do.

There is a moment in your life that your body can cause symptoms.
That can be anything and in my case my biggest complaint is eczema.
I have had it all my life and have never thought about how I could counter this.
What is often said with an autoimmune disease is that you suffer from it all your life and you have to use certain medication to reduce the symptoms.
What you actually do with your body when you use the medication is that you suppress the symptoms, such as skin problems, abdominal pain, headache.
When we, as people, suffer from something for a longer period of time, our easiest and first option is to make an appointment with the doctor. They will prescribe a remedy for complaints such as eczema, acne and stomach flu.
That was my situation for a long time.

The reason I went to the doctor always had to do with my skin complaints.
As a child I already had eczema complaints. Itchy red spots on the inside of my arms.
If it bothered me my mother would have applied an oil to my skin and occasionally she would lubricate a topical steriod (medication for skin problems).
It has also been gone for years, but as soon as I experienced a lot of stress in my life it came back just like that.

When I was about 15 years old, it came back worse than usual due to the amount of stress I was confronted with. I have experienced many changes from the age of 14 to 18, such as moving house, changing schools and getting used to a new environment. I also had problems with eating, which started in adolescence. These things made sure that my immune system was not at its best and I also had more problems with my eczema, which caused me to get topical steriod creams from the doctor every time. I have had periods in which I had to aply the cream every day so that the spots would disappear.

first glance it seemed like a wunder cream. You lubricated and a day later the spots were barely visible and I was relieved of the redness and itching.
But I noticed that with time it only got worse and my eczema could no longer be controlled. My whole body started to get fully red and painfull and got it where eczema had never been before. Before that I went to a dermatologist who told me that I had atopic eczema and that it was not curable. I would have to suppress it all my life with hormone ointment. That’s what I was told back then. I no longer wanted to be dependent on medication and certainly did not want to apply a stronger ointment.

tarted looking for alternatives, all to get rid of the pain and itching.
It was no longer a normal eczema. I suffered from insomnia, concentration problems and anxiety attacks. I no longer felt comfortable in my own body.
I started to apply various eczema ointments, such as stipulations and nothing seemed to help.
I even went to a Chinese doctor who then gave me herbal supplements and herbs that I had to dab on my skin. That also gave only temporary relief and was desperate at this moment….

Then I went into a few Facebook groups about eczema and was told about the withdrawal of topical steriods. When I saw people who looked just like me and mentioned the withdrawal, a light came on. This is what I have. It is not only what I eat or not eat. It is the long term use of the topical steriod creams that has made me sick!

There is a lot going on in this world right now and you can get overwhelmed by it and all the things that you need or want to archive in life. How can you stop stressing yourself out and take breaks for yourself? How to deal with those difficult things like panic attacks and feeling sad and depressed all the time. You are not the only one that is struggling. It’s hard enough to have anxiety and depression so you don’t want to compare yourself to another.

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a feeling of nervousness, worry and that typically occurs in the absence of a immediate danger. The feeling comes from the body’s natural reaction to stress, so when those feelings come up it can help you in life treathening situations.

Anxiety disorders and normal feelings of anxiousness are two different things. Many of us get anxious when faced with particular situations we find stressful, but if those feelings don’t subside, the anxiety could be more chronic. When feelings of fear or nervousness become excessive, difficult to control, or interfere with daily life, an anxiety disorder may be present.

Identify your triggers and learn how to manage them

Anxiety can be created by a lot of different things. You can all them triggers. Sometimes they can be obvious like smoking, drinking, stress eating, drinking coffee and much more. Having feelings of anxiety for a long time is more different to find out for yourself. It may take you some time for you to figure out. Is it a financial situation or is it work-study related? Or maybe it’s a person that causes you a lot of stress and anxiety.

When you do figure out your trigger, you should try to limit your exposure if you can. If you can’t limit it — like if it’s due to a stressful work environment that you can’t currently change — using other coping techniques may help.

Write down your thoughts

When you have a lot on your mind and you get overwhelmed by the thought of fair just take a break and write your thoughts down. Through writing you can reflect those thoughts that makes you upset or anxious. You can buy a notebook and just take 10 minutes every day to write your emotions. You can also add the app ‘wordsmith’ or ‘think app’ on your phone to write if you are on the way and you get overwhelmed.

Try breathing exercises

Breathing exercises can help you cope and feel more in control. Mindfullness is a way of giving your full attention to the present moment. It can help with some anxiety disorders, but some people will find that it’s only getting worse.

Try breathing in for 4 counts and breathing out for 4 counts for 5 minutes total. By evening out your breath, you’ll slow your heart rate which should help calm you down. The 4-7-8 technique is also known to help anxiety.
