This list may look like it’s for heterosexual couples, but if you look closer you’ll notice it works for any sexual orientation. What makes us attractive to others can be found in many places, but I believe we should carry the same values we seek to find in others. Attraction does not only mean intimate relationships, it can also mean potential friendships. To have long-lasting friendships, or to build something more, you’ll notice that these qualities I’m about to share are a necess[...]
1) They Value And Respect Others The thing about a classy lady is that she understands the value of others; this comes from having done work on herself. Classy ladies put their best foot forward when interacting with other people. Not because those other people “deserve” it, but because it comes naturally. Understanding the value of a “thank you” when a job is well done is something that comes from a classy lady. Calling the manager and harassing employees at[...]
Feeling lonely is more common than most people would wish to admit. I believe loneliness can be incredibly damaging if it’s left unattended. Cases of loneliness increased particularly around the time of the Covid pandemic in 2020; with more and more people feeling isolated. The more people feel lonely, the more they don’t notice the beauty in life, they become more withdrawn and sometimes they begin having cases of insomnia. There’s nothing wrong with feeling lonely, we all experi[...]
It’s All About them Toxic people are all about that “Me, me, me” life. When there’s been a terrible disaster; it’s a sign for them (the toxic person) to get their life together. When you win a medal, it’s a sign for them to step up and do better. Instead of taking the time to see life for what it is, toxic people choose to make everything that happens in the world all about themselves. When a toxic person congratulates you, it’s to give the impression o[...]
It’s not easy being a boss. Actually, it can be easy depending on your level of experience -- but being a good boss; well, that’s something else. Earning the respect of your team/employees is often confused with being a one-way deal. They (the team) have to listen to the boss, no matter what. Factually, this simply isn’t true. No boss wants a team of people-pleasers, and no boss wants a team that isn’t willing to follow simple instructions. It’s a tough balance to strike, but it ca[...]
It’s no stretch to say emotional manipulators suck. The danger of emotional manipulation comes from how effective it can be. People can end up losing track of their own reality and at times their individuality. It’s because of how dangerous emotional manipulation can be that I think it’s important to discuss it. It’s my hope that by talking about it we are able to recognize emotional manipulators before any permanent damage is done. Make no mistake, no one should ever undere[...]
Sometimes people think being hard on themselves is the answer. That the more we push ourselves, the easier it becomes to achieve our goals. If you’ve been following my blog for a while now you’ll know this isn’t entirely true. There’s research to show how not being self-compassionate makes it harder for us to pick ourselves up after a failure. We become overwhelmed by emotions and we learn less from our experiences. Instead of criticizing ourselves and pushing on without pause, we sh[...]
To be self-aware is the biggest gift we can give to others and ourselves. To be self-aware is incredibly difficult and it requires us to explore ourselves deeply -- getting to the core. To be self-aware, we need to know ourselves on the inside and out. On the inside, it means accepting our triggers, flaws and everything we’re good at. On the outside it means looking at how we relate to those around us; are we mean, kind, patient, or condescending? Getting these answers requires work. Th[...]
Meditation is the process of removing clutter in the mind. Training ourselves to focus and be more aware of our thoughts -- the good and the bad. Through meditation, we open ourselves to a lot of health benefits. We begin to have a more positive outlook on life, reduced stress, improved concentration, quality sleep and higher levels of tolerance. I’m going to go into some detail regarding the benefits of meditation. It’s my hope that after I’m done sharing this information we encour[...]
A few weeks ago I shared some inspiring quotes from powerful women. I thought it would be fun to share some more quotes but with a different tone this time. These quotes I’m about to show are meant to help us reconnect with our divine femininity. It’s time to refuel on our power goddesses. It’s also a good opportunity to teach anyone who under-estimates the power of being a woman. “In celebrating the Divine Feminine, you will know the true beauty of life.” ― Sadhguru Any[...]
