As a Slovenian, coming from a nation of hikers, this activity is in my blood. But I still had to push myself and overcome some of the obstacles I was facing. Today I want to talk about them.

Dedicate yourself to your well-being.
Your recovery journey requires complete dedication from your side. It expects from you perseverance, vulnerability and openness. You must open your heart to it.

How to spend less time on your phone.
I would lie if I said that I don’t check my phone every hour. I do. But this is less than I used to, which was almost every 10 minutes. I slept with my phone, for goodness’ sake! I was texting at 3 am, getting no sleep and feeling stressed and tired. Checking it every hour, now, is not a big deal, compared to how I used to be. And let’s face it, our phones contain a […]
