Unhappy People Don't: Say Thank You Saying thank you -and,  more importantly,  meaning it-has actually been proven to make people happier.  Feeling and expressing gratitude is a win for everyone involved.  The person being thanked feels happy for being appreciated,  and the person doing the thanking feels good for making the other person happy. So if you're ever feeling down,  ask yourself : Have I been acting like a jerk lately? If the answer is yes, the odds are pretty good that this behavior is affecting more than just the people you're rude to, it's making you unhappy 😞 . Unhappy People Don't: Take active roles in relationships It's all well and good to have lots of friends and family members, but if you never make an effort to work on or maintain those relationships,  you won't be getting nearly as much out of them as you could be. Reach out: show you care.  Being nice to others can make you happy, too ☺. Unhappy People Don't: Pray o...

Life becomes simpler and a lot more meaningful when you are emotionally detached from money. A lot of us let our money dictate how we should feel. 💷💵 As a progressive individual, I want to develop the right attitude to money and personal finance. I have been trying to follow this lately, a whole lot better thinking has filled me, and I feel really good about money now! These are ways to develop a "money mindset". You better shape up! In order for us to appreciate, handle, and keep the blessings we receive, something major must be done in the way we feel towards money. Everything takes longer than we think, and so does our "healthy" attitude towards money. 💸 "If you cannot control your emotions, You cannot control your money"                                                             -Warren Buffet Create a Budget...

This terminology is called 'the impostor syndrome' Both male and female are susceptible to this Although more intensely felt by women Even the most wildly successful influential women in power admit to this Like so many things, a lack of confidence can become a self-fufilling prophecy They stray off their path by giving up their dreams and talents "I feel I don't deserve people's attention' ' I am a fraud' 'They are unto me' Many escape into drug abuse or promiscuity to avoid The nagging voice of their true calling to express their talents Most of them are truly gifted musicians, writers, actors, dancers, public speakers and politicians.  Fear of failure Fear of overreaching Fear of not being liked Fear of being a bad mother, daughter and wife! On the otherhand what tactic women do is to conquer this feeling You have to feel like you are in charge and let the conviction come naturally to you Res...

                                       You might be at a place in life where you are beginning to question your progress. Your plans are yet to pan out but everyone you know seems to be flourishing. Every person on your social media and network is doing much better than you are. It could be that you are still battling with your career, business is at its lowest or whatever plan you have isn't taking off as anticipated. You feel dejected 😥, about to give up and losing faith in your journey is different from the next person.

"Self-care isn't always manicures, bubble baths & eating healthy food. Sometimes it's forcing yourself out of bed, take a shower and participate in life again" - Meredith Marple. There has been a common misconception that self care is only about pampering and lavishing yourself with less stressful activities. We really need to get over the thought that self-care means being 'selfish' and paying attention to ourselves more than others.  All these misconceptions bring into light the question, what really is self-care? How do we go about it? If it's not about going on a shopping spree, eating healthy, having privileged luxury or going to the spa? Self-care should be a bit more thoughtful. A new definition of self-care is going out of your way to do things outside your normal 'Self-care' notion. The "You" of Today is a different person from Yesterday - The more you begin to realize that you are speaking to a new person each day, t...

A well-placed "No" can not only save you time and trouble. It can save your life: to anything that is hurting you, to standards that no longer serve you, to people who drain you of your creativity and expression, to beliefs that are not true to the real you. How many times have you heard yourself saying yes to the wrong things: overwhelming requests, bad relationships, time-consuming obligations? Good things can happen to you when you learn to say no.   When you protect yourself from the people and situations that will hurt you. When you shield yourself from the stories and myths your colleagues, friends, family and institutions use to control you. When you finally say no to the inner conditioning and psychology that your brain forces on you in its misguided attempts to protect you. Here are ten ways to say no and be nice: 1) Let me think about that. 2) Here's what will work for me. 3) Can I get back to you. 4) That doesn't work for...

I have been meaning to write this post for a while now....sorry! I have been taking forever.

"Never put off for tomorrow, what you can do today" - Thomas Jefferson Yes, procrastination! We have all been down that road , days will come where we would wanna put off a large task ahead of us to the following day or maybe next month or next year or maybe never! The cycle goes on and on and we blame ourselves on why we can't seem to get anything done on time. We nearly miss deadlines and fail to seize opportunities at the right time, because we are inadequate. This used to be so me! But thank heavens, I am more than a conqueror when it comes to procrastination. It starts with little steps...one step at a time....one decision at a time....and then the impossible will seem possible. Its always impossible until it is done!
