Consistency is hard.

It’s not easy to do something every day. In order to learn a language you have to be consistent. Duolingo has done an incredibly good job at making learning fun, at gamifying it. And while it is not the most effective at learning the language it is REALLY effective at making you come back. At keeping you engaged. That is what it does best. I have had struggles staying consistent in the past but I am also ambitious.

I like winning.

I like seeing progress. Ticking off tasks and being praised for good work. Getting points and advancing to the “next level” - sooo motivating. That’s why I thrived at school and university. That’s why I LOVE learning!

Duolingo gives you that. It has kept me engaged and motivated.

Now, but how does that make me healthier? The answer: HABIT STACKING

Habit stacking is the practice of simply adding on behaviors that you want to cultivate to behaviors you are already doing.

So let's say you are already having a relaxed coffee every morning. And you want to start journaling, if you use habit stacking you could start with having a few sips of your coffee and then write one sentence in a journal. So now whenever you have you your coffee in the morning it will trigger the reminder: Morning coffee = write one sentence in journal!

And you can do that with everything, the important part is that in the beginning your habit stacks should be short and sweet, easy to complete. Psst: if you want to learn more about habit stacking I can highly recommend the book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear.

But now, let’s get more specific: HOW is Duolingo keeping me healthy?

👉 I have gone through the process outlined in the graphics for consistency:

1: Values Alignment
2: Activities Brainstorm
3: Tech Stack Support
4: Openness to FLOW

That is how Duolingo is keeping me healthy. Because health is so much more than nutrition and movement, it is rooted in living a life that is in line with your values and your JOY!

✨What is one of your biggest values in life and how are you living that in life?

Trying to calm your mind is like screaming at your friend to ‘just be happy’. In order to be healthy in meditation you can allow your mind to explore. See what is happening and give your mind time to do its housekeeping running through all the things that it doesn’t have time at the rest of the day.

You are always gonna miss something!

We are designed to strive for more. More adventures, more experiences, more money, more status… but sometimes it’s good to also look back and appreciate.

Today I miss Austria. The calm collectedness of the mountains and lakes. The constant moments of ‘awe’ driving anywhere in this country. It’s inspiring and we definitely will be back. For both and me Austria has felt like home.

We tend to make big life plans and then completely rethink them again and again - while some may think that is silly, it keeps our minds agile and open to the possibilities out there.

Back to the beauty of Austria: while we can’t be there right now I can still visit these stunning landscapes… through VR - I’m so grateful to have the option to do so!

Shoot me a DM if you are interested in trying out our VR relax & workbreak 😇

Jep, nothing to add! Get comfy to meditate - like reeeeeal comfy. Sit on that sofa, lie in that bed, stretch and find ease like a cat. Animals are the best meditators btw 😎

ENJOY! This is your time.
