Read your life more enjoyably

Good morning friends, if you are reading this I am probably already up and running, I have already done a round in Vondel and an hour of weight throwing, I have gotten soaking wet for the third time and the heating in the office is broken. Ideally, I would love to crawl back under the covers as we speak. With the heating set to twenty-two, a mountain of down, and my new book.
Earlier I told you about my self-help bible that I occasionally pull out from under the dust. But now there is new reading material on the pile, wise words from Jelle Hermus, the face behind the website soChicken. Jelle immediately caught my attention with his words ‘scrape away the misery and discover the short route to a more enjoyable life’. Making your life more enjoyable with less effort, that's what we all want, right?

Nowadays, one after another falls and we often don't know exactly what we want with our lives. What we do know is how we want to feel. And if you keep taking small steps in the right direction, you will naturally end up where you want to be. For example, do you want to make more time for your loved one or would you like to lose a few pounds? Do you want to move more to gain energy but don't know how? In any case, that bag of chips, tub of chocolate-covered gingerbread cookies, non-stop Netflixing, and complaining won't make your life better. But with a little push and a few small steps in the right direction, you can already get quite far. Sometimes we need that. For example, when that thousandth diet attempt fails again or when you cancel your spinning class for the fourth time on a Monday.

Do you find it difficult to get yourself off the couch and do useful things? Don't be ashamed, you are really not the only one. You can turn your procrastination into lasting discipline. Want to know how? With chicks and the best tips from Jelle.
