(This article is a follow-up from the ones published in previous weeks, episodes 0, 1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6 and 7, and the last episode will be published next week)

And we finally arrive at the eighth and last tip in "reprogram your life"; thanks for reading this far 🙂

As we have seen over the last few weeks, there are plenty of similarities between how our mind works and how a mobile phone works, or a computer.

This mobile phone metaphor can be really useful for us to understand and assimilate concepts coming from various disciplines (neuroscience, mindfulness, neuro-linguistic programming...), and also to apply them in practice, as part of our daily life, tweaking our habits in such a way that they actually help us to achieve our goals, improve our vital energy, become more efficient, enhance our communication skills, and ultimately, understand ourselves and others better.

But I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that this is nothing more than a metaphor, a comparison, and that it can only go so far, because mobile phones and computers are not people; they're just machines. They are very complex and sophisticated, that's true, very smart in their own way, but they're only machines at the end of the day.

And humans are not machines; we are so much more.. You are so much more..

We humans have the capacity to live, create, and feel. The ability to connect with other human beings, with nature, with the deep wisdom of the Universe. To laugh, cry, share, imagine and learn, enjoy the present moment and visualize the future we want for ourselves.

There are certain questions that a machine will never be able to answer... I invite you to reflect on some of them and find your own answers:

• What excites you and motivates you most in life?
• What's most important to you? What do you value most?
• What do you want your contribution to this world to be?
• What's that dream you would love to be able to make come true?
