Personal Development - Freestyle Mind
Productivity and Life Hacks
Before I started this blog, I used to think that to be successful online you had to know something that a few people only knew. Needless to say, I wanted to know what that something was, and so I started to buy products that promised to make me rich overnight. It’s not that I had much hope on becoming rich overnight (I was ignorant but not naive), and I already had a nice salary. The thing is, I wanted
Editor note: This is a guest post from Anna Miller There’s nothing like a relationship to make you see yourself for who you really are. It strips away your outer shell and reveals your inner core, and this is why you feel emotions more intensely when you’re in a significant relationship – your joys are doubled, as is your pain. But no matter how a relationship begins, progresses or ends, it
Editor note: this is a guest post from Daniel Richard. Mornings are probably the best time to get things done. Besides the work factor, you can get to bask in the morning sun, renewing your soul, and starting your day right. What you wouldn’t want is to wake up in the “middle of the battle”—-that’s like losing out right from the start. What you could do with, is to form habits (new habits), and making
Yesterday I started my first contest here on freestylemind. I plan to do more of them in the future, but this was the first, and I was a bit nervous before starting it. Yet the response has been amazing so far. In less than 24 hours I’ve received more than 200 submissions, and I’m still thinking of a way to make everyone win (because everyone wins here).

One year ago, my life took an unexpected turn. It was there that I decided I had enough with my ordinary life and that I wanted to do something new. I didn’t really know what to do, but I couldn’t wait anymore. Since then, many things have changed, like creating this blog, start to working part time (now from home), and moving to London (I will move this summer). It’s nothing particularly exciting,
Editor note: This is a guest post from Jennifer Smith from reachourdreams. The goal to be happy is one of the things many of us strive for. Isn’t that what we now realise life is about, rather than more money, status and recognition? I too have strived for this goal many times; however I recently heard something that made me feel differently. I heard a popular celebrity say that he doesn’t strive
Editor note: this is a guest post from Zoli of Simply Will Do. Strength has many interpretations. We’re longing for strength like we do for love, understanding and happiness. As for the latter, we tend to believe that strength is something distant from us, something that we cannot reach. What an miserable thought! If your belief in your strength is weakening or right inexistent, read on to what some
There’s a day in life when everything changes. Suddenly you realize that what you have always thought to be important is no longer that important. You start to see things from a different perspective. You notice the colors of nature around you, the beauty of your city that just yesterday appeared so empty. Monday mornings are no longer monday mornings. Nothing is like before. This is the day when
