I don't want to jinx myself but I don't remember the last time I felt this inspired. I've been creating content that I feel very proud of and it is making me very happy. I used to struggle with consistent posting which those who follow me for a long time probably know. I'm not really good at focusing on multiple important things at the time. I'm a student so balancing uni and blog can sometimes get a little bit hectic. With the current situation and social distancing, I finally found the balance between the two. Here are some of the things that made me inspired to create new content and to be consistent.

Now more than ever it is easy to fall in the negative circle of thoughts. Spending so much time indoors in space that sometimes feels like it is getting smaller and smaller as the days pass, it is not so strange to start to feel nervous, anxious and sad. Social media can be such a great way to escape but it can also bring self-doubt and pity (when it seems like you are the only one not making dalgona coffee, banana bread and playing animal crossing). As normal as it is to feel sad, annoyed and anxious once in a while, wouldn't it just be better to feel happy, cheerful and hopeful once again?

Most of us probably haven't been on a trip for a few months now. It seems like it is going to be like that for quite some time. Those who are big travel addicts are probably having a hard time. That is totally understandable given the situation we are in. Although we should all stay at home and with that make chances to finally go on a trip much bigger, there are some ways you can calm your travel bug a little bit longer.

There are two types of people, those who are "die-hard workout enthusiasts" and those who are "I workout because that's the only way to get a healthy body" type. It doesn't matter which description feels most relatable to you, you are both sentenced to actually getting up and working out. Some of you probably prefer working in a gym or doing group workouts which unfortunately isn't possible anymore.
Others love to work in the comfort of their home so they find it a little bit easier to get active without leaving their homes. For those who struggle with working whatsoever and this current situation isn't really helping them out, I decided to share with you some ways you can workout for home and for free right now.

The biggest changes in your life don't need to be extra. Sometimes to see that positive change in your everyday life all you need is implementing mini habits. Those are the things that we usually overlook. We might do them once in a while without realizing how much benefit they would bring to us only if we started doing them more regularly.
The ones that I am going to write about in this post are super simple and easy to do. Some of them are probably already part of your every day but some are maybe not. There are, of course, a thousand more that you could start doing but I decided to share only these 5.

We live in a strange time and place. The world and the people in it need as much love as possible. The current situation might not be so challenging for some people, but some could find it difficult. Without or with issues we are facing nowadays, there will always be some of our loved ones that are struggling.
We need to have in mind that those people need our help and support. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to do to help them. We might feel like we need to make big sacrifices or go out of our own way to make sure that those people are feeling better. In fact, there are so many simple things that we can do and I wanted to emphasize these 4.

Last week was the first week of social-distancing. It feels weird writing about it as it makes it feel strange. The start of it was a little bit challenging as this isn't the situation I believe most of us thought would end up in. I knew that the only way to make it a little bit easier to get through is to focus on petite joys. I didn't want to look at it from a negative standpoint. On the contrary, I focused on all the things I could do for myself and for others. First and most important was to STAY AT HOME.

Do you feel like you know where you want to go but it's like something is holding you back?
Don't worry, you are not alone! Most of us feel this way and more than you would think. Making that first step as hard or easy as it can be is always a challenge. Our brain is programmed to save us from uncomfortable and dangerous things. Sometimes it is doing so to the things that are actually good for us.
So how to fake your brain into actually making that first step towards something you've been wanting to do but the fear was holding you back. This is something that no one but you can do. That's why in my opinion it is best to ask yourself these questions...

These days it seems that more and more people are feeling stressed almost on daily bases. The sad thing about it is that there is no age, sex or location limit when it comes to stress. There is a lot of scientific researches about stress and it seems like it can drastically impact our overall health. I truly believe that how we deal with stress and stressful situation is what can help us to put it under control.

Have you ever tried knitting?
Nowadays there is this assumption that knitting is only for old ladies. When you mention knitting to someone they first imagine a grandma in her rocking chair, knitting scarf for their grandkids with a cat near purring. While knitting is usually more popular around a certain age number that doesn't mean that it is only reserved for them. There is a lot of young people who love to knit and find it a great act of self-care.

Did you get used to it being 2020 already?
I must say that I'm sometimes still flabbergasted that it is 2020. The fact that it is quite satisfying to write 2020 makes it easier to get used to it. The new year is often associated with New year's resolutions. I've noticed that a lot of people have different opinions about resolutions and goal setting.
You are either a massive fan of them or you can't stand them. Whichever opinion you have I'm sure that you have some goals in mind for this year even if you don't want the whole world to know about them. It is in human nature to look into the future and try to accomplish as much we can.

Happy New Year!
I guess it is that time of the year again. Time of the year that most people either look forward to or dread. In whatever group of people you sort yourself, I wish you all the best. Hopefully, 2019 wasn't too bad for you and that 2020 will be better.

No, these are not the photos from a Disney movie. These are the photos you can only take in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. The beautiful village of Hallstatt. The place that no other than the magnificent Alps are guarding. The place that makes you feel like you are in a fairy-tale and you just wait for all the magical creatures to show in front of your eyes.

Do you have
trouble concentrating?
A few months
ago I noticed that my concentration was getting worse and worse. I just
couldn’t focus long enough on just one thing without getting distracted. The
biggest cause of my distraction was social media.
Because of the constant
scrolling and the ability to do a lot of different things at once, it was like
my brain is constantly hopping from one thing to another. I guess it is because
I got used to always start different tasks at once and my attention span was
short.

When was the last time you went on a one day trip?
With the job, family and other obligations squeezing in a trip can be quite hard. Well, when the travel bug starts to make you only think about all the places you want to visit, a day trip might be the right option.
I know that a one-day trip has its positive and negative sides and that some people just don’t like having a one-day trip. In this post, I will try to break down the way you can have an enjoyable one-day trip even as soon as the next month.

Are you a slave of a bad habit?
The first thing that came into your mind after you read this question is the bad habit that is probably slowly ruining your life. As small or as big, bad habits have the ability to take you away from meaningful things that are waiting for you in your life. Having a bad habit isn’t something you should feel ashamed off, we as humans are weak and unfortunately we can accept bad habits faster than the good ones.
Although there is no reason to be ashamed it important that you are actively trying to get rid of that habit and not only passively give up and let it lead your life. Bad habits are hard but possible to break, as soon as you understand that you will be able to take a step into a right direction.

Now more than ever we feel like we need to have all aspects of our lives under control. We are juggling work, family, friends, hobbies, personal development and dreams all at once. How wouldn’t we feel lost when it often feels like time is flying by, we are getting older and older and still running around trying to hold our lives in the right direction.

Shopping is something that a lot of people find therapeutic and fun to do. Although shopping may be fun it shouldn't became something exaggerated. There are a lot of other things someone could do in replace of therapy and fun that shopping might present for them. Shopping isn’t only affecting your whole lifestyle, financial, emotional and physical it is also very damaging to the whole World because more things mean more waste.
While I do understand that some people have trouble putting an end to impulsive shopping I believe that the questions I’m going to share with you in this post could help anyone who is brave enough to reflect and realize that they are themselves impulsive shoppers and that it isn't benefiting them in any way. If you are one of them and you are willing to make a change I congratulate you as you are making step in the right direction.

Do you feel like you are one step behind everyone else?
It is like you are constantly finding and loosing yourself over and over again. Wandering around not knowing where you are headed or where you want to end up. No matter how old you are or how many things you’ve accomplished throughout your life you probably felt this way at least once. I believe that this is the feeling that more and more people are getting.
Something that always surprises me is the fact that I am always learning something new about others but particularly about myself. As soon as I thought that I figured myself out it ends up that it was only a top of the iceberg. We tend to forget that life is a journey. Just because we think that we got to our destination doesn’t mean that the journey is over.

When you hear about the “peer pressure” what is the first thing that comes into your mind?
For a long time the first thing I thought about was the peer pressure in the teenage years. What I had in mind was the pressure that is imposed by the group of teenagers who think that they can pressure others to do and think the same way that they do. Just recently I realized that peer pressure isn’t only limited to the adolescence it is present in most stages of human life.
