Benefits of Setting Boundaries

You can’t be all things — or do all things — for all people. A life without limits means rarely saying “no” and considering everyone else’s feelings before your own. Not only are these people-pleasing habits wholly exhausting, they put you on the direct road to burnout, a major health hazard in its own right. They disregardContinue reading “Benefits of Setting Boundaries”

What Judging Others Reveals About You

For some reason, people love to judge other people. I know firsthand, because I’m definitely guilty of doing it too. I don’t do it nearly as much as I used to, but I still catch myself doing it more often than I should. Whenever I slip up and start becoming judgmental of others, I take a stepContinue reading “What Judging Others Reveals About You”

Loves Me, Loves Me Not?

We all are pretty well aware that love isn’t always wonderful like we see in the movies. In real life, it’s often unpredictable, frustrating, even painful. While it certainly can offer plenty of rewards, these benefits don’t generally come without some dedicated effort and willingness to accept some challenges as part of the process.

I’m at a point in my life where I don’t need to impress anyone anymore. I am who I am without caring what others think of me. I don’t need costumes, I don’t need to trick anyone or pretend. Because I can be who I really am. I don’t need to laugh and make people believe IContinue reading “I Don’t Need to Impress Anyone”

Self-Care is NOT being Selfish

Do you find yourself striving to have it all, do it all and be everything to everyone? If so, you know that it comes at a cost: It’s easy to lose sight of yourself in the process. Worse yet, somewhere along the way, you were led to believe that taking care of yourself translated into beingContinue reading “Self-Care is NOT being Selfish”

Enjoy your “Me” Time

“Me time” does not mean spend the whole day in some café, salon, or spa. “Me time” means taking out some time from your highly busy schedule to get relaxation. When I say taking out some time it can be a few minutes or hours, totally depends on you. We generally take out my timeContinue reading “Enjoy your “Me” Time”

Finding your Passion

It can be so frustrating when people advise you, “Just follow your passion!” Yeah, sure, you’d love to—if only you knew what your passion was. Remember when we were kids? We would just do things, not sitting to weigh the pros and cons. Did we think to ourselves “What are the benefits of playing basketballContinue reading “Finding your Passion”

Happiness is an Inside Job

Many people wait for something to happen or someone to make them happy. If you expect others to make you happy, you will always be disappointed. Being responsible means not blaming others for your unhappiness. It means figuring out ways to be happy despite others’ (negative) behaviours and despite the external influences. The all-important truthContinue reading “Happiness is an Inside Job”
