With time, different cultures has crystallized and developed different philosophies of life, some are thousands of years old and still live on today, like the Ikigai in Japan, Hygge in Denmark, or Ubuntu in South Africa 

Ubuntu is a South African philosophy that means “a quality that includes the essential human virtues of compassion and humanity”.

As much as athletes warm-up before a game or competition, a very important part is cooling down after.

We can see as each day is game-day. At least that’s what we want right? Why consciously decide nah I’m gonna give my 25% today. We’ll have bad days, but we want to prep and be at our best right? So that’s why the end of the day is as important as the morning.

A lot of studies has been made on sleep. Especially on students who have to perform a lot of tasks each day that involve memory, performance, productivity. The results are clear on the importance of sleep. Our sleep if affected by a lot of things, your nutrition, if you’ve exercised or not during the day, your sleep environment, but let's look at 3 simple things you can do before sleep that will have a great impact.

Allan Watts said, life is a symphony, is a dance. Each note, each step, each moment is no better than the last one or the next one. Each moment is to be lived fully, to be savoured. 

Why wait for the last few notes of the symphony, for the last few steps of the dance, to only then start enjoying it. 

Live Each Moment

Here is a special edition of the podcast with a Warrior Story, It’s a series of stories where the warrior from within comes out, and the goal is to understand the lesson and how we can tap more often into that Warrior Energy. All of us have those moments in our life, where we are put to the test, where we need to push our boundaries

“Stress” has been called the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century” by the World Health Organization and is estimated to cost American businesses up to $300 billion a year on health care and lost work days linked to stress.

We'll look into what really stress is, its origins,  what triggers it today and especially what to do to not let it stop us from fully living our lives. 

What you do, little by little, ads up. The little dishonesties become big dishonesties. And you become a dishonest person. Not necessarily to others, they might not even realize. But To yourself. You know it deep down. 

Inner harmony is when what you think, what you say and what you do are aligned. You owe it to yourself. That's why you need to SPEAK YOUR TRUTH.

Slave doesn’t mean you’re a slave to someone else necessarily. Master doesn’t mean you’re the master of other people. You can be slave of your own patterns, impulses, circumstances, being controlled by them. On the other side you can be the master of your actions and own life.

The first step in any transformation is facing the truth, facing ourselves. We have to recognize our patterns, what’s holding us back. 

Let's explore how we can free ourselves from our chains and become the masters of our life. 

We rarely take the time to see the big picture of our lives. Not only our own life, but even more, all of our society. Even if you are aware of your own behaviours and patterns, we are still focused on ourselves most of the time. And that’s great, because to change anything in the world you need to start by changing yourself. 

Let’s take a look at some ideologies of someone who spent most of his life to analyze us as a whole society but as well as individuals. 

The Sheep & Wolf theory of Nietzsche goes back to the 19th century but is still very relatable today.  

A lot of our days are just a copy paste from yesterday. But we’re not ment to live a repetitive life.  

Today will be different 

For most of us, we wake up, go one step at the time, make one decision at the time, and next thing you know your day officially starts, and then next thing you know your work day ends. We do some chores, eat dinner, relax a bit, we’re too tired to think of much else than what happened that day, and then boom, the day is gone.

But the thing is that the morning is not only the perfect moment to spend some quality time alone, reflect on your life  but also set yourself up for a great day. Where you can be more alive, more productive, enjoy more. 

Sadly, most of us, do the worst thing we can in the morning: grab our phone, maybe even still in bed, check what important things we've missed in the world while sleeping, then get up and start straight away our day.

Let's explore what we MUST do each morning to set ourselves up for success.
