Lately I’ve been thinking that happiness is actually much less exciting than Instagram makes it look.

It’s not some huge breakthrough or dramatic change.

It’s mostly about creating a routine that you genuinely enjoy living.

For me lately, that routine looks like books, the gym, content creation, consultations with clients, and working with my team. These things take up most of my days, but honestly, I like it that way. Every year I try to improve them a little bit more rather than constantly reinventing my life.

Morning walks and morning workouts help me set the tone for the entire day. I’ve realized I’m not really an evening person. For me, the perfect ending to a workday is green tea, a warm shower, and quietly washing the day away.

Books keep me curious. Right now I’m reading Astor and really enjoying it.

Alongside my routine, I’m trying to make more space for small pleasures.

Recently I discovered an amazing Tonka Matcha with Brazilian vanilla at thecoffeehousebcn, and now I’m slightly obsessed.

Sunsets are still one of my favorite things. If you know me, you know that. Give me a beautiful terrace, a good view, and a sunset, and I’m happy. 1881persagardi is still one of my favourite spots in the city.

Barcelona is getting hotter every day, but right now the jacaranda trees are in bloom. For just a few weeks every year, the whole city turns green and violet, and it feels magical and helpful.

And there is also one bird that comes to my terrace every single morning and sings very loudly about life, love, and probably his own personal drama. At this point, he has become part of my routine too. 😅

Another thing I’ve been reflecting on is that I want to add more events and interesting conversations to my life. More places where people exchange ideas, inspire each other, and talk about the things they are building. Less pretending that networking means drinking until midnight.

If I find some, I’ll share them for sure. Or create one if I don’t. 🤣

So I’ll keep you updated on my dream life . And of course don’t forget to follow your dreams. Maybe they will bring you somewhere where jacarandas bloom.
