If you feel more drowsy, sad and unmotivated during winter, check out our free guided meditation. 🧘

Have you ever experienced winter blues? It’s when you run low on energy, feel depressed, tired, perhaps crave more sweets, …

Last week, we talked about winter blues and gave science-based tips on how to overcome it. And to help you put that into practice, we’ve just uploaded a guided meditation that you can integrate into your daily morning routine specifically dedicated to fight winter blues. It helps you increase your self-awareness, adopt a more positive mindset and develop momentum to find new drive and motivation.

And even better: Since special light boxes show promising effects in ameliorating symptoms of winter blues, you can optionally combine this meditation with your daily light therapy. ☀️

You think of freedom, purpose and fancy drip coffee in a light-flooded co-working space when talking about working in a start-up? Well, our co-founder Jonas shares the unadorned reality of the inglorious life of a start-up CEO.🥴⬇️

Imagine you’re building your own company: You have a vision, boundless motivation and the freedom to make your own decisions. 🙌

And then there are the things about being a start-up founder that most people don’t discuss: Self-doubt, financial instability, “cover-image pressure” while experiencing rejection from potential investors.😐

There’s often a glorified image of a start-up founder that is upheld in our society and that shapes our expectations when founding a company. And this can strengthen a number of limiting beliefs - beliefs about how we have to be in order to live up to this image, up to a point where these beliefs paralyze us and cripple our motivation and productivity.

👉 In our newest YouTube video, our co-founder Jonas opens up about the mental and emotional challenges he is facing to remove stigmatization around mental health issues and allow our strivings to remain healthy and sustainable in the first place. (Link is in our bio⤴️)

And even if you’re not a founder yourself, you’ll certainly get interesting insights on how to let go of limiting beliefs in this high performance culture.

Don’t hold back sharing your thoughts and experiences in the comments and give this video a thumbs up if you want to support us! 💚

Listen up dopamine addicts, here are 3 key decisions in your everyday life that you may always regret if you don’t get them right …🥴

In a study from 2021, almost half of the American respondents (46%) reported spending time on their phones for 5 to 6 hours per day (this is the number that comes on top of work-related smartphone use). While being on the phone is certainly fun, this excessive use also comes at a cost … 📱

If you think about it,
… how often do you start a project, but don’t find the motivation to finish it?
… how often do you interrupt what you’re doing to check your messages?
… how often do you automatically open Instagram or TikTok without even noticing it?

And if you take a step back for a moment: When you are a hundred years old and look back at your life, is this how you wanted to live it?

Our co-founder Jonas thought about the crucial moments in his life where he is tempted to unnecessarily and automatically seek dopamine and shares them in our newest YouTube video!

Let’s become more aware of the automatic habits that don’t really serve us so we can be more mindful in our phone usage and live a more self-determined life with more focus and motivation for the projects that matter most to us.🙏
