Love Thyself and Prosper
Many a time do we hear "love yourself" or "you are worthy of love" or similar suggestions to help us achieve a sense of stability and joy in our lives. But what does that really mean? Do we actually know how to do that? What does loving oneself actually look like? I've often spoken to people who are absolutely sure they love themselves to the fullest. They indulge in good food, buy nice clothes, have holidays, spend money on their looks etc. But looking from the outside it is more than obvious they are often trying to mask how they really feel on the inside.

Through many years, just like you, I have struggled with constantly being in a state of procrastination. We all constantly get into that mindset of not wanting to do the work, but then complain about not getting it done or a deadline coming up.

Entrepreneur Andrew Warner, in his 20s, created a business that ended up earning more than $30 million of revenue per year, setting him up with enough money to do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life.

Got to work out
Having a routine is something that has to be a necessity. How would life work without one? A routine helps you be more centered, living at peace, and organized with your life. The morning routines are my favorite so I will elaborate on that. My morning routines are peaceful. Getting breakfast, doing exercise, walking my dogs to the park, and being able to see my family. Since Corona started most of all are stuck at home except for my dad he works so much.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Writing a Self-Help Book
Self-help literature is becoming more and more popular nowadays. In almost every bookshelf (both actual and online), the self-help section is always packed with plenty of options for the readers. Self-help books, in general, are books that are written for the purpose of instructing and helping people in solving personal problems and achieving certain goals. They talk about a wide range of topics, and they are sometimes referred to as the literature for self-improvement.

Why do People Listen to Podcasts?
I remember I started listening to podcasts in 2018 for the storytelling aspect of it. Little did I know that it would soon become more than just a source of entertainment. Podcasts are quickly transforming into a popular medium where anyone with a story can share their KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCES and hundreds or thousands of people could listen. However, there are a few that stand out from the rest in measure of not just how entertaining they are, but how informative and educative they can be. They possess such innate authencity in their dialogues that they have a way of leaving you feeling somehow inspired after you’ve listened. So here are a few podcasts that I’ve found most elevating, educative, and still ultimately entertaining in this lockdown period. In no particular order…

The Exception
I recently made a post on my Facebook, with the expectations of my 1,509 "friends" to look at it and keep scrolling without commenting or giving their honest opinion. I thought to myself, I see these types of prompts all the time, contemplate about commenting for a split second then decide, I don't have time to do this for every person so why would I make an exception? Which led me to my next thought, how many people don't interact with someone online or give their opinions on a matter that's being questioned, am I the only guilty one? That conscious thought led me to yet another big question, that I didn't even realize I seek the answer to everyday, why would a person PUBLICLY make a post that had the potential for no interaction? Was that specific person attention seeking, were they needing their ego stroked, did they need to remind everyone on their "friends" list how much they were loved, what was the reason behind this post that looked at me and said, you love me right?

The Truth About Happiness
You're finally at a happy place in your life, so now what? After fighting personal battles, going through storms to seek peace, and repeatedly failing to discover your strengths and purpose in life, you are finally satisfied with who and where you are in life. Our happiness may seem like the ultimate goal in our lives and will eventually appear as the ultimate accomplishment in our lives. However, I want to let you know that this is not the case. We all need to realize that the life we live is not all about us, especially when it comes to our happiness because the happiness we struggle to find is the door that allows others to experience this same breakthrough. Now whether you were aware of this idea or not, it makes sense that we think in this way because we are taught by society that the key to our happiness is a one-sided process revolved around ourselves. Society teaches us to focus on ourselves and what's best to eliminate distractions and negative influences that disrupt the path to becoming the best version of ourselves. Some of us haven’t learned that happiness also comes from the satisfaction we receive from our selfless actions. And while a part of this happiness comes from our inner being rather than the opinion from others, we eventually begin to feel empty if our happiness doesn't impact others. Now the society we live in today follows that same one-sided idea and does not fulfill the exact criteria of seeking happiness: using our strength and kindness from our self-discovery to help carry others' burdens who struggle to be happy. I believe we sometimes fall short of the criteria because we may lack self-love, which is the part of discovering happiness that is solely about us. We also get into the habit of believing that placing others before ourselves is too much work or something we don't have time for, which also holds us back from dedicating a part of our lives to the struggles of others.

A survivor
I found the the man whom I wanted to be with for the rest of my life 9 months ago. Here I am today, 13 weeks pregnant. No job. No savings. No husband. Only the sheer desire to be a good human and a great mom. I resigned from my “great job” to go out on a limb and start my own business in April but boy did the universe have other plans.

Time to slow down
Forcing ourselves to stop more often, to do fewer things, to think more calmly. All of this, in favor of a healthier and happier life. Being slow, doing less, being calmer is often understood as a synonym for laziness or low productivity. But it is not at all the same.

5 Manifesting Tips
Manifesting what you want is easier than you think. Unfortunately to some people manifesting sounds difficult, they might even assume there are too many rules you need to follow in order for your desires to become a reality. Other people simply don’t believe in manifesting, which is fair —I can understand how it seems unbelievable.
