Learn to love yourself
You can learn to love yourself. Start from the basic – Act like you love yourself, but most of the world. Think what you would do to someone who is like you. Then do that to yourself. Doesn’t matter if it is about delicious dinner, an exclusive weekend, buying new clothes that you didn’t need…

Self-love – the most important kind of love?
If you were watching Sex&the City, than you probably remember the Samantha’s sentence, when she was leaving her boyfriend (I don’t remember the name, sorry…): “I love you, but I love myself more”. It is anthological sentence!
There are many kinds of love that we carry in ourselves. We are surrounded by love that we [...]
Is There Any Point in Analyzing a Failed Relationship?
The end of a relationship brings pain, anger and sadness with it. Is there any sense to analyze the reasons for the break-up? Suddenly, instead of butterflies in the stomach, you feel hard pressure in your chest.

Correct breathing and simple meditation
When I was younger and when I didn’t have any experience about meditation, I was always thinking that meditation is something mysterious, difficult to study, esoteric… Also, I was always thinking that only “strange” (well, not strange, but different, that is a better word) people do meditation.
Then I was reading a lot about yoga and [...]

Improve your intuition
If your stomach, “says” something is wrong – it is certainly so. Signals sent by the body take seriously, because the “feeling” is actually the state of internal intelligence, inborn gift that is given to people to be able to discern what is good and what is bad. We “know” much more than we realize.
Intuition [...]
