"Lagom": Swedish way of life that seeks balance

It is a way of life that seeks a balance between work and leisure, consumption and savings, health and pleasure.

What is the lagom? It's a Swedish word that means "not too much, not too little, just enough." It is a philosophy that promotes moderation, simplicity and harmony.

In this article, I will explain how you can apply the lagom to your life to find happiness or balance. It is not about giving up your dreams or aspirations, but about finding a middle point that allows you to enjoy what you have without falling into stress or dissatisfaction.

The lagom is based on four fundamental pillars: time, money, the environment and relationships. Let's see how you can apply them to your life:

Time

The lagom invites you to manage your time in an efficient and balanced way. This means that you should dedicate time to your work, but also to your leisure, to your family, to your friends and to yourself. It is not about doing more things in less time, but about prioritizing what really matters to you and makes you happy. The lagom teaches you to say no to what does not add value and to delegate or simplify what you can. So you can enjoy your free time without feeling guilty or overwhelmed.

The money

The lagom offers you to live with what is necessary, without falling into consumerism or austerity. This means that you should spend your money consciously and responsibly, saving for what you really need or want, but without depriving yourself of a treat from time to time. The lagom encourages you to look for quality before quantity, to buy local and organic products, and to avoid waste. So you can live with more tranquility and sustainability.

Environment

The lagom suggests you take care of the planet as if it were your home, because it is. This means that you must reduce your ecological footprint, recycling, reusing and repairing what you can, using renewable energy and public or shared transport, and avoiding the unnecessary use of plastics and other resources. The lagom motivates you to appreciate nature and its benefits for your physical and mental health, practicing outdoor activities and respecting biodiversity. So you can contribute to a cleaner and greener world.

The relationships

The lagom recommends that you cultivate your personal relationships with fairness and respect. This means that you must communicate honestly and empathetically with the people around you, listening to their opinions and feelings, expressing yours assertively and seeking constructive solutions to conflicts. The lagom inspires you to be generous and supportive of others, offering your help when they need it or collaborating with social causes that interest you. So you can create stronger and more rewarding links.

As you can see, the lagom is a philosophy that can help you find happiness or balance in your life. It is not about following strict rules or copying someone else's model, but about adapting the concept to your own reality and personality. The important thing is that you find your own lagom, that right point that makes you feel good about yourself and with others.

How heat pumps work

  In this article we explain how heat pumps work, what types exist and what their advantages and disadvantages are. Heat pumps are devices that take advantage of thermal energy from the environment to transfer it from one place to another, depending on the heating or cooling needs.  How heat pumps work What is a heat pump? A heat pump is a system that uses a refrigerant fluid to absorb heat from a cold source and transfer it to a hot source, through a reversible thermodynamic cycle.  The refrigerant fluid changes from liquid to gaseous state and vice versa, depending on the pressure and temperature to which it is subjected. The basic operation of a heat pump can be summarized in four stages: - Evaporation:  the refrigerant fluid circulates through an evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the environment (air, water or earth) and evaporates. - Compression:  the refrigerant vapor passes through a compressor, where its pressure and temperature are increased. - Con...

The rabbit's strategy

A popular tale from Venezuela where the strategy of the rabbit that was caught by a tiger and how he managed to escape is told. On a lovely summer afternoon, a rabbit was resting peacefully, lying on the grass. Silently, a tiger approached him and with a roar, threatened him. -You're mine, elusive rabbit! I've been trying to catch you for days and I finally have you! There was no escape! He had the tiger's jaws so close that he could even feel his fetid breath on his pink nose. The only possibility he had left was to take advantage of his own cunning. – Wait a moment, wait a moment, Mr. Tiger! I have something very important to tell you. – What do you want? I don't feel like talking, I feel like eating you in one bite! The rabbit swallowed his saliva and faced him, disguising his fear. -Have you seen me well? Don't you see how skinny and small I am? – Yes, but I don't care! I'm going to eat you anyway, so don't resist! – Well, you're wr...
