What is the Diderot Effect?

Ever felt like a purchase have led you to feel dissatisfied with your other possessions?
​
A new smart phone purchase, may have prompted an upgrade of an outdated laptop, or additional phone accessories. This may have further led to upgrades of your laptop bag and a new jacket to go along with it.
​
As a result, you may have ended up spending more money than originally intended. If left unchecked, this behavior can develop into a constant cycle of upgrading your lifestyle, which ultimately means that you have to work more and harder. This could mean less spare time with e.g. friends and family, and thereby a lower quality of life.
​
Watch the video to learn more, and how to think about breaking the vicious cycle.

How to Instantly Feel Better

↗️ The above quote by Elon Musk, suggests that having a positive outlook on life, leads to higher quality of life and a happier existence along the way, even if it turns out to be wrong.
​
Optimism fosters a can-do attitude and a willingness to take risks. While pessimism can hold us back and create a negative self-fulfilling prophecy. By choosing optimism, we open ourselves to possibilities, opportunities, and a more fulfilling life, regardless of whether our positive expectations actually come to fruition.

How to Get Fit and Keep Progressing

Are you as fit you would like to be?
​
You probably already have a fitness program that you've been following for some time. Chances are that it has not been yielding the result you were looking for. One reason could be that it's not covering all the main parts of your body. Another could be that it does not factor in steady progression, and you plateau quite quickly and then stay there. Sounds familiar..?
​
The below is a great workout regime that has been proven to be effective. It is not to claim that it is the best program, nor that it is the only option of this sorts. It is simply to say that if you follow it over an extended period of time, you will get in good shape. It is one way to do it. If you are unsure what to try, or have tried different programs over the years and have not seen results. Then, try this.

It is based on a program by Dorian Yates, who won the Mr. Olympia title six consecutive times from 1992 to 1997 . Yates is widely considered to be one of the top pro bodybuilders in history, and was well known for his high intensity training, top-level conditioning, and his wide, thick back.

The regime is suitable for both men and women.

Until next time, be well,

Joachim.
