Simply It

'Take a break' the title and topic of my last blog before I decided to follow my own advice, and honestly what I thought was a break became my disconnection. Each day I tried reconnecting but always ended up with an excuse of feeling like I needed an extra break. So here I am wondering, how do I reconnect? Though detachment may be necessary at some point in life especially when it's the only way for you to focus on other important things, what do you do when you've disconnected from the important thing or person in your life? As I've struggled each week in the drafts section of the blogging app trying to write something but just felt like I no longer belong here, I came to a realization that I had to reconnect with myself and my emotions first so as to get my purpose. Finding yourself makes your purpose clear and easens the decision making which enable you to make good choices about your life, plans, relationships and goals. Whether you feel disconnected...

There are times in my life when situations and things in life become too much, to the point where I can't even recall how feeling normal feels. Trying to deal with everything as it comes all at once from the feelings, to the responsibilities and the roles one has to play.  Under these circumstances, we work giving what we think is right at the moment just to be done with that phase or the feelings it comes with. But just like we need study breaks or pauses while we're watching stuff is the same way in life situations, we need to pause. When emotions and thoughts become too overwhelming and you have no inspiration or motivation to do things better, the pause button is a great option. Pausing is basically taking a break from all that is happening mentally and emotionally to allow yourself to function better and make good moves.  When pausing, take time to reflect on everything that's going on, think of where you are at the moment, where you want to be, what brough...

What has 2021 taught you or emphasized in your life? Every year has its own challenges and breakthroughs which leaves us with experiences and lessons learned, and these are some of the major things that sunk into my life this year, from the various encounters I've had. You can also share some of your great lessons this year at the comment section below. 1. Feeling ready  or not, just do it . I had the thought of starting a blog in March this year but always felt like I'm not ready enough to start putting it out there. I used to blog and save it for myself so no one knew it existed until June, which was when started sharing my posts after listening to a certain episode of a podcast and asked myself "what's the worst that could happen?" And here we are, with various posts which  probably wouldn't be possible if I continued waiting to feel ready enough. Be brave, take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.  - Paulo Coelho - 2. Everythin...

It feels important, but is it worth holding on to? When we have no power to control it, change it or curve it to how we desire but still, we choose to hold on to it hoping that some day it will turn out as we expect it. "Let me be optimistic" so we tell ourselves for we always heard from the motivational speakers that it is an essential key to achieving our goals because it boosts our courage as we choose to try see an opportunity in every difficulty presented to us. Sometimes we're forced to let go of things or people we really hold dear and we're left struggling to let go of the pain, regrets, wishes and the 'what if' that comes after. We have no control over most of these situations but letting go of them will stop them from controlling us. When we talk of letting go, it's all about the simple to the major things in your life. It could be your work, career, relationship, friends, grief and so much more. HOW TO KNOW WHEN TO LET GO...

Having read part one to three of REJECTOBER, it's clear enough that rejection is normal and happens to everyone.  Since you can't avoid it, it's safer to deal with it and know how to cope when faced with it. How to deal with it; Acknowledge that you've been rejected, accept and allow yourself to feel the way you do. Pretending it isn't affecting you or trying to brush off the hurt won't help. Having self love and self worth will act as your "backbone" when dealing with Rejection. When you know who you are and you've positively affirmed yourself, you'll never feel the need to be accepted by people.  Give you time and work on you. It's not because of you! No self blame or trying to act better. If they fail to see what you offer, move on and someone else or something more worth it will find you. Take your time. Healing is a process and the pain of Rejection won't just go immediately. Give you...
