What Causes Our Nightmares?

It's still dark when I open my eyes, and my heart is pounding out of my chest. In any case, phew, because I'm still alive and kicking.

Somniloquy: Why Do Some People Talk In Their Sleep?

It's Official, Food Makes Us Feel Good And Here's Why

I have never been disappointed with a slice of Nutella on toast, it's always there during both bad and good times in my life.

What Is The 80/20 Rule For Perfectionism?

Perfectionism is a paradoxical trait, and it's for that precise reason that it has ruined my life for such a long time. On paper, it may seem like a positive quality to have and implies meticulousness, however, in reality, it is closely linked to anxiety and can cause huge problems in our professional and personal lives. In my personal experience, my need for everything to be faultless meant I'd spend hours and hours working on projects and worrying that nothing was ever good enough. The truth is, by putting in so much extra effort, I was wasting my time and making myself ill, whilst neglecting other important tasks. I eventually realized that something needed to give, and that's where the 80/20 rule for perfectionism came in and saved the day!

Is It Possible To Change Your Habits In 21 Days?

Stop smoking, start meditating, get up earlier, etc. Personal development gurus promise to change our habits in a record time of 21 days. Are three short weeks really enough to change patterns that have sometimes been in place for years? We investigated for you.

The Perfect Morning Routine To Ease Anxiety

For the past 5 years, I’ve suffered from crippling anxiety, which often spun out of control and left me feeling like a prisoner in my own body. My condition was so detrimental to my mental health, that it was at the root of my losing friendships, boyfriends, and even a job. Although, one day I suddenly decided that the invasive, irritating voice in my head needed to be silenced! Now, no one ever really recovers from anxiety, but the symptoms can be alleviated with a simple morning routine, for example.

5 Signs You Are Going Through A Work Burnout

I’ve never made a secret of not being a huge fan of work, but my opinion on the matter certainly doesn’t make me immune to the chronic stress of a job burnout. Ever since the Covid-19 outbreak, I’ve been working from home and have completely lost my work-life balance. Back when things were ‘normal’, I went into the office every day, did my time, left and didn’t think about the day’s problems again, no matter how big they were. Now, things are totally different, and I’m suffering from intense fatigue, insomnia, plus emotional and physical distress. What I want to get across is that anyone can experience burnout, which is why I want to share with you the symptoms to look out for and discuss what you can do to get better.

Survivor’s Syndrome

When a friend of mine died in an accident, I was devastated. I felt immense grief, but I wasn’t there to see the drama of her death. Some people unfortunately witness the death of a loved one… This makes them feel a huge weight on them, as they feel guilty for being alive when the other person wasn’t as fortunate. This feeling, called “survivor’s syndrome” (or Lazarus syndrome) isn’t trivial and can have many consequences. How can you overcome it? All will be explained.

What Are The Symptoms Of Depression?

Anger, sadness, melancholy… We all experience negative emotions, but when we’re depressed, we feel them more intensely. Suffering then gradually invades the person suffering from depression. Then it becomes so complicated to manage that it prevents the depressed person from living normally and fulfilling their social, family, and even professional obligations. How can we detect depression? What are the symptoms to alert us? Let’s explain.

What Do All Happy People Have In Common?

To find happiness, everyone seems to have their own recipe. For some it’s sport, for others it’s therapy. But happy people seem to all have something in common. Clearly, the universal recipe for happiness does exist. To be happy, we should imagine the future through the lens of our failures. This speaks to me, but it seems contradictory. And yet, the recipe for happiness is just one letter: The B in plan B promises you more optimism and fulfillment.

I Finally Understand What It Means To Succeed In Life

For years, I put incredible pressure on myself to “succeed in life”. In my eyes, I had to be financially stable, be in the perfect relationship, have a certain number of followers on social media, have a nice house, be able to travel as I wished, etc. But actually I was wrong. I’d never taken a step back and looked at this concept, but now I’ve finally understood what it meant. Believe me, we’re all fooling ourselves!

How To Talk To Your Doctor About Depression?

Do you have no energy, trouble sleeping, no appetite and a feeling of apathy? Then you may be suffering from depression. You shouldn’t be alone in this distress. You need to talk about it, and as your general practitioner (GP) is often the first person you talk to, he or she will be able to make a diagnosis and suggest treatment. Yes, but how do you talk to your doctor about it? How do you put into words the unhappiness that’s eating away at you?
