  1. The Impact of Anger and Fear on Our Bodies: How Polarization Affects Our Health

    The effects of anger and fear on the human body amidst global polarization

    We live in a time when anger and fear dominate. From wars fueled by religious or historical tensions to societal unrest about leadership, policies, and the future of our planet. Think of the COVID-19 pandemic, where proponents and opponents were fiercely divided, or the climate debate, which has polarized those who believe in human impact versus those who suspect economic or political motives. This ongoing polarization not only leaves deep marks on our society but also on our bodies. What does this emotional turmoil do to our physical well-being? We explore how anger and fear impact our health through different perspectives.

  3. Summer and Winter Time: Effects on Our Biological Clock

    Summer and Winter Time: Effects on Our Biological Clock

    Twice a year, the clock goes forward or back an hour, and has done so for decades. Although this habit was originally introduced to save energy and make better use of daylight, today its effect is increasingly debated. For many people, adjusting the clock not only feels like an inconvenience, but also involves disruptions in our body's natural rhythms. After all, our internal biological clock is tuned to the natural course of day and night, and for some, this disruption can lead to sleep disturbances and reduced productivity. More and more voices are therefore advocating the elimination of these time changes. In this blog, we take a closer look at the impact of summer and winter time on our biological clock and why it may be time to leave this tradition behind, as well as what you can do to alleviate the suffering while it is not yet the case.

    Life is Magic: How do you get more Magic in your life?

    You probably remember, as a child you often experienced the world around you as magical. Vacations often seemed endless and every day there was something new to discover. As a child, you naturally lived much more in the now than most adults. Mindfulness and an unbiased outlook were natural. Moreover, play and imagination were an important part of your life. As adults, we've often lost this ability, and that's a shame. In this blog, we are going to explain why that is, as well as what you can do to regain that ability. Read on quickly and add magic back into your life!

    How do you stop your autopilot?

    In the world of adulthood, we often do things on autopilot. It is quite possible that this causes us to miss the magical moments of life. This is because of the way our brains work and deal with routine and habits.

    The Brain and Routine

    Our brains are designed to work efficiently. This means that it often automates routine tasks to save energy for more complex tasks. When we are on autopilot at the beginning of the week, the following happens:

    Loss of Consciousness: We may miss details and subtleties because we are not consciously present in the moment.

    Loss of Creativity: Routine can limit our creative abilities because we are not challenged to come up with new solutions or explore new perspectives.

    Fewer New Memories: Through repetition and routine, we form fewer new and unique memories, so time seems to pass more quickly and days seem to melt together. As a result, the magic disappears from your life.

    Having Your Life in Order, Necessary or Not?

    In the following, we provide some practical tools and tips to add more magic to your life. You may now be thinking, “That sounds good, but first I need to get my life in order before I can get started with this.” Is that really necessary?

    Of course, it can help to have all the basic things in your life in order before you start allowing more magic and awareness into your life, because then you will have more mental space and experience less stress, but it is not strictly necessary.

    Start where you are now

    While it's ideal to have the basics in order, it's important to realize that you don't have to wait until everything is perfect to start allowing more magic into your life. Here are some ways you can start now, regardless of your situation:

    Small Steps: Start with small changes and activities. This can be as simple as doing a few minutes of mindfulness exercises daily or taking a short wal
