Mindful mind, happy mind

Are you present?

Do you value each moment as you come across it, or do you feel as though you are stuck in your head, paying attention to something else? We all end up there sometimes, but we don’t have to. Mindfulness is what you’re looking for, a way to take in your surroundings and appreciate them more profoundly. We’re here to give you a few ideas on how you might achieve that and why exactly it is so important for your happiness and well-being. You’ll learn about the effects of meditation and the benefits of gratitude; all you need is to take 5 minutes out of your day to do something kind for yourself.

Mental Station

Social Media. The phenomenon that pulled most of us in like a vacuum, tends to be underestimated when it comes to its impact on our minds. In this weeks discussion I sat down with two opinions as different as the poles to discuss the good, the bad and the dirty. x Julia

Society’s influence on happiness

In this podcast, we wanted to deal with the topic of happiness in society.

Society can strongly influence our happiness, sadly mostly negatively. This idea may seem rather well known to most people, but it still bears saying. However, since no one cannot live outside of society, you have to adapt. This can be done in many different ways – which we discuss in this podcast.

To be or not to be in the present moment

Work, school, lock-downs and pandemic. When all combined, we find ourselves in an emotional and mental chaos. It becomes hard to follow even our daily routines and carry out the tasks that we need to do. What we need is to stop and think for one moment and recognize our surroundings and ourselves that we are alive and be present in the moment. However, it is very difficult to keep the track, since our minds wander most of the time. We cannot enjoy the little moments which would contribute to our well-being and inner peace. After experiencing the epiphany that we, Elif, Melanie and Jennifer wanted to try and adapt different practices that would help us be in the present moment and improve our well-being. Enjoy!
