Sometimes, inspiration can hit unexpectedly, such as in an airport...
Looking back too often can quietly wear us down.
Replaying the same memories, regrets, or “what ifs” over and over can take a real toll on our mental health.
The past can’t be changed — but our relationship with it, can.

Learning to let go means choosing not to let yesterday define today.
It’s a slow, sometimes uncomfortable process, but one that brings deep relief and freedom.

As Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, wrote:
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

Acceptance isn’t resignation — it’s a shift toward growth, meaning, and peace.

Humor is a shield against existential anxiety. It is more than just a way to make people laugh — it’s a powerful coping mechanism. When we face deep existential fears, like the awareness of death or the uncertainty of life, humor helps us take a step back and breathe.
As Viktor Frankl, founder of logotherapy, wrote: “Humor, more than anything else in the human make-up, can afford an aloofness and an ability to rise above any situation.”
Through laughter, we reclaim a sense of control — and remind ourselves that even in the face of life’s limits, we can still choose our attitude.

Spinoza said we “believe ourselves free because we’re conscious of our actions, yet ignorant of their causes.”
True freedom begins when we see what shapes our choices — habits, emotions, beliefs.
Psychologists Haggard & Chambon (2012) show that our sense of agency, the feeling of being the author of our actions, is key to motivation and well-being.
Awareness is power — it’s how we start choosing, not just reacting.

Sometimes, you can't tell the sun from the moon...
Is doubt and obstacle or opportunity?
In psychology, doubt is not just hesitation — it’s also a signal that pushes us to analyse, reflect, and sometimes… grow.
Research shows that tolerance of uncertainty is a key factor in psychological well-being (Carleton, 2016, Journal of Anxiety Disorders).
As Carleton puts it: “It is not uncertainty itself that is distressing, but our difficulty tolerating it.”
Doubt is useful when it helps us reflect. It becomes harmful when it paralyzes us.
Is doubt holding you back… or helping you move forward in a new way?
