The Art Of Saying 'NO': Breaking The 'Can-Do' Curse
On Christmas Day, or whenever more people than usual get together, it can be stressful for the hosts with all the demands that are likely to be placed upon them. Thy want everything o be right, and everyone to be happy, and my guess is that some people would be saying 'YES' to certain requests they believe are unreasonable, yet feeling impotent to do anything about it because of the desire to appear caring and empathetic. Yet, that does not help them to be authentic and sincere.

Unpacking The Baggage: How Self-Esteem Shapes Personality
Self-esteem is so important at doing its job, we tend to take it for granted without realising its effects. It emerges from the core beliefs we have of ourselves - whether negative or positive, confident or insecure. Thus our self-esteem influences the development and expression of personality traits within us, based on the impact of past experiences and our self-perceptions of ourselves. It follows that low self-esteem often stems from the negative beliefs we have relating to our emotional state, like feeling inadequate, worthless, or unlovable, Yet the twin aspects of self-esteem could not be more different.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

Unleashing the power of now
In the maze of my thoughts, overthinking used to be my worst adversary, stealing my calm and warping my clarity at every moment. The Thought Tornado would not stop whirling while I slept, entangling me in a noway - ending web of solicitude and pondering.

How to stop being lazy and pathetic
Hey, I totally get it! Sometimes it feels like nobody cares if we're lazy or not. But you know what? We can't let that hold us back. Life keeps moving, and we gotta keep up with it. It's true that everyone has their own problems and struggles, so we can't expect others to pity us for too long. We gotta take charge and make things happen for ourselves.I remember this neighbor I had back in my hometown. She was always complaining and being negative. It seemed like she was stuck in a cycle of unhappiness. But you know what? My mom, who's an immigrant and has been through so much, never let herself fall into that trap. She had no choice but to keep pushing forward and taking care of our family. She didn't have the luxury of being lazy or playing the victim.Sometimes, when we're in survival mode, we don't have the option to be lazy. We have to keep going, even when things get tough. It's like those who are struggling to climb up the stairs and catch their breath. They can't give up, because they know they need to lose that weight to feel better. And for those who are vulnerable and need to gain weight for their health, they have no choice but to do what's necessary.So, my friend, let's leave laziness at the door and embrace the mindset of pushing forward and making things happen. We have the power to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals. Let's do this together!
