The Fragile Nature of Memory: Reality, Truth, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves
Our memories shape our identity, influence our decisions, and define our understanding of the world. However, what if everything we remember is, to some extent, false? The reality is that memory is not a perfect recording device; rather, it is a dynamic, ever-changing process susceptible to distortion, emotional bias, and manipulation. Understanding the fallibility of memory is crucial in distinguishing between reality and truth—two concepts that are often mistaken as interchangeable but are, in fact, fundamentally different.
Breaking Free from Bias: Heuristics, Stereotyping, and the Undoing of Illusions
Our brains are incredible pattern-recognition machines. They build expectations, create shortcuts, and help us navigate the world efficiently. However, these mental shortcuts—known as heuristics—can often lead us astray. Biases and stereotypes take root in these shortcuts, making it difficult for us to see beyond our conditioned worldview. To break free, we must actively challenge our patterns of thinking, recognise the illusions we cling to, and adopt a fresh vision of the world.
On Boredom
A post on how boredom, our public enemy number one, can be transformed into creative power. We deal with why we find it hard to switch ourselves off, daydreaming and converting boredom into positive leisure time.
Motivation - our brain’s driving force
Motivation is a fascinating and complex aspect of human psychology. It shapes our actions, dictates our perseverance, and influences our capacity to achieve. However, understanding what truly motivates us requires peeling back layers of conventional wisdom to uncover deeper truths about how our minds operate.
Setting Boundaries
Setting boundaries is an act of self-love and empowerment, and self-awareness is the key to doing it effectively. By understanding your needs, limits, and values, you can create boundaries that protect your well-being and enable you to live authentically. Remember, boundaries aren’t walls to keep others out; they are bridges that ensure healthy, respectful interactions while preserving your peace of mind.
It's Okay to Fail
When is an idea creative? Why can it be so hard to break free with something new?
Using the knowledge of how the brain works, you can develop your own creative technique. In this post we’ll show you that “There is only your way”. There is no right or wrong. One spiritual principle is that "you need do nothing" - In other words, let innovative solutions present themselves spontaneously or miraculously.
And, failure is an integral part of human creativity—a process that thrives on breaking rules and thinking differently. Unlike intelligence, which is about following known rules to reach established solutions, creativity pushes boundaries, explores the unknown, and opens doors to new possibilities.
Say Yes

Yet, saying "yes" to something can feel overwhelming in a world brimming with options. Let’s explore why choosing can be so challenging and how to make it simpler and more satisfying.
