Ask yourself: "Would you always WANT to be happy?" At first you may likely answer "YES! Who wouldn't want to be always happy?" And that seems to be a very fair point, at first… As Life Coach it is not my mission to take sadness out of the equation so that you can be happy for the rest of your life.
Contrary to popular belief, and surely something that will ruffle some feathers among the die-hard atheists, I feel that just like a theist believes in the presence of (a) God, a deity who is the Creator of life and supreme ruler of their lives, an atheist believes too. Because an atheist believes there's no deity called God.
As you may have noticed from all the press coverage in recent years, vitamin D is important for all of us. Even with regards to SARS-CoV-2, vitamin D has been in the news numerous times and preliminary studies suggest that those with a vitamin D deficiency is far more prevalent in patients with severe COVID–19 disease requiring ICU admission and thereby increased chances of mortality.
It sounds so cliché but it is so true; we are mostly made out of water. Overall the human body exists of about 60% water. Without water we wouldn't exist. However, a lot of people do not drink enough water these days as we have replaced it by 'fake' drinks such as coffee, sports drinks, soft drinks, alcohol.
I walk into the same trap as you, although I (…) should know better. For instance, I didn’t have much time for lunch yesterday, so I downed my precious food (an organic 4 egg omelette with leek, tomato, red onion and mushrooms, nicely fried in virgin coconut oil) without even realizing I was eating it.
Do you ever feel like you would want to 'disappear'? Not in a suicidal way (...) but just vanish for a little while. Get away. Retreat. Switch off? Does that sound familiar? If so, have you ever wondered what it truly is you want to get away from?
The source of all human suffering is the non-acceptance of what is, as we label things and situations, as good or bad. Fighting the flow of life believing we can do better than what life offers, means we believe we are separate from life. Like it’s us vs life and what is, needs to be changed when our minds believe it doesn’t fit the picture it sees suitable for us. It needs to be corrected when it attacks the identity we have created for ourselves, and by ourselves. An identity that only exists in our mind.
Let’s look at love for a moment. The reason why I would like to have a chat with you about this is because love is ever present in our lives, be it in intimate relationships, friends, family, cats, dogs, our job, you name it. Without a feeling of love we would feel lost and a sense of purpose would be absent.
For decades we have been spending hours on the treadmill, jogging for miles and miles, cycling from east to west, or swimming 100 laps in an Olympic sized swimming pool in order to lose weight, gain muscle and get fit.

Recently a documentary called "What The Health" was released. As some of my friends highly recommended it, I started watching it.
