happy#141 – discrimination

simplicity of happiness · happy#141 – discrimination In Zanzibar I often face an enourmous discrimination. This discrimination is not as I expected it to be. I thought that it might be against colored people but it wasn‘t at least not from white against black people.The main discrimination that I saw and experience on a daily matter is from man against women. Or against against different sexual orientation, although nobody dares to talk about that openly. This… Read More »happy#141 – discrimination

To our autonomic nervous system, which runs everything important to our life without our conscious mind even recognizing it.Our breath and our lungs are the only organ that we can consciously control. Since our breath directly influences our physiology, our state and our performance, you can do as well.… Read More »happy#139 – change it with a breath

simplicity of happiness · happy#135 – educate kidz During my last trip to Zanzibar it became so obvious, that all the people surrounding me where not heading towards a positiv future for themselves and their families.
