Minimalism is absolutely a way of life but what exactly does it mean? What does it entail? What it doesn't necessarily mean is having no furniture, a lack of cutlery and poor hygiene! The beauty of this concept lies in this flexibility, its breadth for personalisation and customisation. You can go as far as you wish or as little, whatever suits your lifestyle. 

We have been actively practicing minimalism and have made it part of our daily lives. The impact has been overwhelming positive however we both integrate differently within our lives. The affects on mental health, physical health and financial stability can be extraordinary. How can becoming a minimalist affect your life? How do you become a minimalist? These are key questions that are answered during this conversation.

Commuting can be more of a chore rather then an enjoyment, the part of our day that we could rather do with out. But why do we make this day to day pilgrimage more unbearable for one another? 

We ate about our experiences with poor behaviour on public transport and our own antics that add to the problem!

Artificial intelligence seems to be almost a buzz word, it's on every blog, every podcast, every news channel but is it as scary as everyone seems to think? Is AI really a situation where we could be witnessing a terminator type situation? Or is it our saving grace, a technological advancement to catapult us forward to achieve things human can only dream of? 

As lovers of technology and innovation in any shape or form our intrigue in AI has been ongoing for several years however now as the possibility grows closer and more realistic of a true AI the possibilities are endless. Nevertheless, we all have some very credible and plausible concerns.

Welcome to a new sub series of Coffee and Conversations! In between our longer episodes enjoy a small nugget of light hearted conversation conveniently named a Mind Espresso. Short, quick and entertaining,

Consider this a snapshot in to our more laid back discussions on matters that aren't as serious as our full episodes.

We are all spoilt for choice, we have the standard Evian, Volvic, Smart Water but what about premium water? Fiji? Black? Voss? Are they worth the price tag? And do we drink them?

We all like a sleep in, not having to wake up to that drone of the alarm clock, a day where there is nothing to do but to lay in bed and watch Netflix. Regardless of what anyone says, there is nothing wrong with a day like that, however, too many can lead to a disorganised and unruly day/week/life! Hence a fruitful, productive and preparative morning and evening routine is paramount in your daily success. 

We both talk about our daily morning and evening routines, how they have evolved as our lives have changed and how they have benefitted us in the long run. We also discuss how implementing a useful morning and evening routine in your life could have immeasurable positives to your life.

Being a victim of bullying is a life changing experience. However it is one that far too many of us have to deal with, whether during school or as an adult. Yet now with the advancements in technology, in particular social media, not only has it influenced our lives in many positives aspects it has provided a unique platform to the bully to target their victims. 

We are discussing the implications and impact this new breed of bully is exacting on our day to day lives. Social media is allowing the cyber bully to infiltrate homes, bedrooms and desk drawers. How can this be managed? How should they be punished? These are important questions that are beings asked but seldom answered.

Mindfulness is what is on everyones mind, and rightfully so. How Well Do You Regulate Your Thoughts? How Well Do You Manage Your Emotions? With the rise in mental illnesses and the so called "loneliness epidemic" (stay tuned for a future podcast on this) we discuss how your environment can shape and affect your natural mental strength. 

Why can others withstand - and even thrive - in extraordinary situations while others falter? We assess exceptional people i.e Aron Ralston and what   we would do in their unique and strenuous situations to gauge our own levels of mental strength. More importantly we explore what each of us can do in our day to day lives to be more mentally strong and improve our quality of life. 

We both believe that the practice of mindfulness starts with having a firm foundation of mental fortitude to build upon.
