self help
Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Taking a step back now is a step forward in the future.
Have you ever felt trapped in a conversation or within your inner thoughts? Like, always trying to find someone or something to blame for your sadness or anger… It can be quite a difficult situation to untangle yourself from, and sometimes everything just seems so bleak and hopeless. But instead of accusing and blaming others or even yourself, I have found that it would also be more helpful to shift my focus from the “why” to the “what”, in other words, to let go of the past and focus on the present. That is no easy task and takes a lot of courage and humbleness to observe your inner self.

Don't Let Fear Rule Your Life
It’s hard to talk about fear. At any given point in time, there may be a handful of different forms of fear running through us. Perhaps aspects of our life are a direct result of the fear that has come to define the dynamics of our relationships. Perhaps you’re overworked, but afraid of voicing your complaint for fear of being seen as inadequate, or not a team player. Fears of inadequacy and rejection run deep, and can be paralyzing. Fear of failure. Fear of abandonment. Fear of vulnerability. Fear of the past. Fear of the future. Fear of the unknown.

Doing Life
When it comes to life, none of us have an instruction manual. We just kind of live and learn. We know some basics, and maybe a little more from our upbringing; but aside from that, everything is trial by error. We have our own individual experiences, our own set of tools from the knowledge passed on to us from family members, friends, and others. It's incredible how the mind works. When it comes to life, those little bits of information that didn't seem very useful at the time we heard it or saw it, just comes into play one day. It conjures up from the depths of somewhere in our brain that we stashed it long ago, and all of a sudden is very useful in a particular moment, and actually helps us. Life seems like a series of paths, not just one. Like chapters in a book. If you think back to your childhood years, then teen years, and so on; it's like our lives morph or shift into something completely new, over and over again.

Why You Need Patience and How It Can Benefit You
We live in times where high-speed internet connectivity is the norm and everyone has their very own mobile device. From buying our necessities and luxuries, to ordering in our meals, to watching our favorite movies and shows, to connecting with friends far away. These devices, combined with the internet, allow us to do almost anything in a matter of seconds. While there can’t be any complaints about it from a convenience standpoint, one of the greatest negatives of living in this era of instant gratification is the severe lack of patience.

The Power Of Vulnerability
Vulnerability. The key to finding your true self. We often hide who we are at heart for silly things like the fear of judgement or how others will see us. We also deny our true feelings because we are afraid of being hurt, suppressing feelings is what leads to a disconnected life. Our feelings are what makes us human, They make us feel alive, love, happiness, inspiration, sadness. These are normal, everyday feelings. They do more than just make us feel alive, when you allow yourself to feel and to be vulnerable, it’s like unlocking another level of knowing ourselves. When we are vulnerable, we are connected to our hearts. It’s so important listen to your heart. We all just need to think less, and Feel more in order to have a fulfilling life.

Comparing Apples to Athletes
I’m pretty sure I always will flinch to the sound of closing doors. And shiver to the touch of anybody I didn’t see behind me. Or even cower below someone’s mixed tone of voice. I am weak, I call it. But in reality, I am cautious. I check the backseat, the lock on the door, and my pockets 17 different times when I go to leave the house. It’s not OCD it’s anxiety. No, It’s my awareness. I look in every mirror when I leave the house to make sure I’m presentable to each and every one. Like judges on a runaway I ask permission to advance and some days they tell me “You made it'' and others it’s a brisk “Not today”. It’s not insecurity I swear, I am just prepared. Some days I leave the bed only to eat and tire myself out enough to get right back into it. People call it lazy days but I call it depression. But again it’s not, I am resting my body.

Self-Improvement Binge
I overheard a term the other day while my friend was taking an online class that stuck with me. I mean, I just could not let it go, maybe because in some way I felt a connection to it. The term: Self-Improvement Binge. The moment I heard this terminology it was an AH-HA moment. It immediately clicked within me that I have been self-improvement binging for years.
