Journaling and consciously avoiding complaining as a recipe for your upcoming week!

Ciao, Happy Sunday!

Giving the right importance to things that happen daily in our lives or internal thoughts is a hard job.

It sounds immediate and easy to come back home and start talking with your partner, roommate, or calling your friends and family to complain and release all the bad tension. It is beneficial to talk, to let it out. But it is also dangerous. Complaining somehow creates a connection with the other person. So, you might just want to complain more to keep that connection alive. But eventually, you will start a negative vicious circle in which you are just complaining without acting to find a real solution.

But how to resist complaining about things we didn't like at work or at a friend's dinner? Journaling could be a good strategy.

Try to put your thoughts on paper. Is that metter really that important to be discussed with someone and to occupy the precious time you have at your disposal after work?

Furthermore, having your thoughts on paper will help you months later. When you read back what your mind was worried about, you will be able to understand if you are living in a draining situation (with your work, partner, family, collaborators, etc.) for too long, and it is actually time to take action to change it. Or maybe you realised you just need new hobbies to occupy your time!Journaling literally saved and keeps saving my days.

Coffevesting Corner: Would you still want it if you could afford it?

With career progression comes more money in income.

And you can finally buy some of the things you used to say 'when I'll be richer I will buy them'. And yet you don't want them anymore.

You can still afford them, but you actually think it's better to invest your money for something that will stay longer in your life.

People that built their own wealth are not always getting the best brand, the newest iPhone, the coolest car, the best hotel room for IG pictures and so on. They are actually getting the best only in the things that are not meant to impress others but in the things in which they care the most.

Don't stress yourself if you can't afford now something that others would love. Use your energy to think about how to get that certification, that promotion, to start that new business, to invest money and so on.
