I was soaked. I literary was drowning in my own sweat. I thought I couldn’t go one step further, but I knew I had to keep going. I knew that I had to continue. Was it my demons chasing me? I don’t know. All I knew is that I had to keep going. One difficult step after the other. I had to keep running. I felt the wind blowing in my face. A refreshing breeze that was barely cooling me down but gave me the strength to go on.

My body was giving up on me, my arms were tingling…

I’ve been a climate advocate for years., ever since I was a kid. I saw at school that we needed to stop wasting energy and products. That we needed to recycle, be careful with water, and all of this. Growing up, I was so concerned about the environment that I oriented my curriculum towards a specialization in environmental economics. A couple of years ago, awareness seemed to have grown exponentially. From Extinction Rebellion to Climate Marches all over the world, climate action sparked a flame. I gained hope that it would be the beginning of a new era concerning the…

It is estimated that worldwide 264 million suffer from an anxiety disorder. This condition has gained recognition in the past years. Being somebody who frequently suffers from panic attack episodes, I would like to share the critical knowledge that helps me overcome it daily. I will start with a description of what is happening in our body when we do anxiety. I will follow with advice on how to tame anxiety attacks and feel prepared for them.

Your body’s response to a natural sensation

What’s funny when you try to gather information about anxiety is that it is almost systematically associated with the word disorder. We talk…

I think that my anxiety is a fear of death. It’s weird because we shouldn’t be afraid of death. Death is natural, and thank god death exists, otherwise this planet would be too crowded.

The good place has taught me that death is what makes life worth living. We’re trying to make it worth it. And we’re having fun because we know deep down that it’s going to end. And don’t get me wrong, every good thing has its end, and it’s a good thing.

I am left wondering what do I fear in death. I rationally accept that it…

New Years Resolutions

This year I wanted to be reasonable when it came to resolutions. It was easy :

• Improving myself on content producing. Gaining some consistency, acquiring some healthy productivity habits, and keep having fun.
• Staying on track for my online formation to become an artificial intelligence engineer.
• Improving my physical health by sticking to my acid-reflux friendly diet. Lose those extra pounds I need to lose.
• Keep working on my mental health with my shrink to tackle my anxiety. That means finding ways not to freak out when I’m not alone and improving my social anxiety.
• Trying to strengthen my relationship…

As I explained in a previous article, misunderstanding happiness can trigger dangerous behaviors. Humans are not meant to be happy. They are intended to survive. Our brains give us rewards for survival-friendly actions through dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. They are the “happiness neurotransmitters.” It can also punish us for unhealthy behaviors through cortisol.

As we evolved, direct threats to our survival have become scarce. Surviving has become easier, but we still have the same brain that tries to find ways to reward us or warn us. Your brain will determine what behavior to reward or not based on your…

As you can check here, ever since 2013, Happiness has been qualified as at least a ‘half popular’ topic on google trends, and most of the time, it gets to be a popular one. If you type “happiness” on Amazon, you will find 200 000+ results, 50 000 of which are in the book section. It makes sense that HappinessHappiness is an evergreen subject and that everybody wants to be happy. It is even entrenched in the Declaration of Independence that one of the men’s inalienable rights is the Pursuit of Happiness. However, if being happy was this easy, why…

This article is not going to be an article that tells you to get up at 6 AM every morning. I won’t tell you at what time you should be checking your e-mails or how to get organized. You will not come out of it with the perfect planning to organize your busy day. You will learn the neuroscience behind your brain productivity and some little tricks to tap into it.

Your brain is always working. It is a powerful machine that allows you to breathe, swallow, pump your heart, see or hear without having to make much of a…
