Pessimism plants depression and the feeling of helplessness in your heart if you give room to it. As humans, we have been socially conditioned to view failure as a lack of talent and hard work, but this is not entirely true.  Failure can happen even when we are talented and hardworking — what makes us better is our ability to overcome that failure by being optimistic and trust that everything is working out for your good.  So cheer up! You got this! 💪

 

Someone asked about this today and here's my take on it.  The Law of Attraction is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. It is a concept commonly associated with the New Thought movement and the idea that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life.  While some may try to draw parallels between this concept and certain verses or principles in the Bible, it is not a doctrine or teaching found within the Bible itself.  The Bible primarily focuses on  Faith in GOD, obedience, morality, and spiritual guidance rather than the specific idea of the Law of Attraction. I'll make more research on this topic. In the mean time, brood on this and have a lovely weekend. 😘😘

One of the many things we fail to understand in life is that we can control helplessness once we put our minds to it. The first step to doing this is to know why we are helpless.  Helplessness happens w hen you resign to fate because you believe that you are powerless to change anything. It shuts your eyes and mind to other available options, thereby limiting your chances of escaping.  When you realize what makes you helpless, you can make conscious efforts to fight it and become stronger,😘

Success in parenting must include raising a child(ren) who would never be the bully, never be the bullied and never stay a silent observer when another child is being bullied——and from experience, children who stand up for others are hardly targeted. The ability to speak up helps kids manage their emotions, cope with conflict in a healthy way, and seek help when they need it. When someone knows that their voice will be heard and taken seriously, it gives them the courage to speak up when something isn’t right. So, let us endeavour to create the right environment in our homes to raise confident children——children who speak up; who say something when they see something and feel like saying what they saw.  Dear Parents, we should encourage the speak up culture.

I have come across people who easily see the good in me and work towards how I can become even better.  I have also come across people who do not verify anything negative they heard about me, but readily believe and act upon it——and I know that you too have come across both. I have learnt to stick and focus on the the former and let the latter continue to fight with themselves——you too should do same. It does not matter who hates you; what matters is who genuinely loves and cares about you. So thrive on that energy.❤️💪

The human brain is wired to tend towards pleasure and away from pain. Try eating ice cream and burger to know how far.  Unfortunately, this propensity that ties us to delicious meals could also easily hinder one's growth or cause problems to one's health.  One major area of concern is our friendships, especially the quality of our innermost circle. If you are not intentional, you will end up with political friends. Such friends are not truly genuine when it comes to telling you what they truly think or call you to order, but only what they think you want to hear or nothing at all——and since our default setting is to avoid conflict, we tend to prioritize such poor-quality relationships.  We should often evaluate our closest friendships to be sure that they can provide us the benefit that comes from conflicts and effective conflict resolution. And here are a few ways you can start: Learn to embrace conflict in your relationships with your closest friends or family. Change y...

Setting healthy boundaries involves clear communication and self-awareness. Here are some steps to help you establish them: S elf-awareness: Understand your needs, values, and limits. Reflect on what makes you feel comfortable and uncomfortable. Communicate: Express your bou ndaries calmly and assertively. Use "I" statements to explain your feelings and needs. Be consistent: Maintain your boundaries consistently to establish trust and predictability. Prioritize self-care: Ensure you take care of your physical and emotional well-being. Learn to say no: Don't be afraid to decline requests or situations that violate your boundaries. Respect others' boundaries: Just as you set your boundaries, acknowledge and respect those of others. Adjust when necessary: As circumstances change, be flexible and adjust your boundaries as needed. Seek support: Talk to friends, family, or a therapist for guidance and support in boundary setting. I need you to know that people will not ...

There's a place you'll be and you'll think you are suffering, but you don't know it's a covering. Well meaning people may be advising you to leave, then you leave and boom —right into the hands of the enemy. Even if you don't like where you are or you are in a "cave", verify from GOD whether you should stay or leave ——because nothing just happens. GOD is so kind and merciful—— HE will never let HIS own suffer. Right in that dungeon, HE will keep providing your daily bread/needs until your season comes!

Offering support and empathy is key when a friend is going through a hard time——not a time to judge or criticise.  Sometimes, just being there and listening without judgment can make a world of difference for someone going through a tough period. Here's my word of encouragement for you dear friend: I need you to know that I understand what you are going through and I'm here for you.  You are stronger than you think, and you will surely get through this situation. Better days are ahead. I admire your resilience. 😊 You have faced difficulties before and emerged stronger each time–— and you will do it again this time! You are not alone in this. Your strength and determination inspire me. Every setback is a setup for a comeback. I'm rooting for your big comeback and I'm rooting for you. 💪 Cheers to your amazing life.,, 🙌🥂

Most of us sit for long periods during our day-to-day lives. We sit when we eat and relax, and many of us sit when we work. Studies suggest that for every two hours we sit, two years of our lives disappear. Many studies even suggest that sitting for more than three hours per day is responsible for around 4% of worldwide deaths. Of course, we cannot prove this categorically, but there’s no denying that “sitting disease” is a real thing. Throughout evolution, we have learned to sit for longer probably because sitting, compared to standing, is less tiring. Most of us sit for long periods during our day-to-day lives.

I helped a friend of mine open her own blog today and when we were through, she asked me, "so what can I write on my blog today?" I told her that choosing a blog topic depends on ones interests and niche.   So here are some ideas I shared with her to get her started: How-to Guides: Share step-by-step instructions on a topic you're knowledgeable about. Product Reviews: Review a product or service relevant to your audience. Personal Stories: Share experiences, anecdotes, or lessons learned. Trend Analysis: Discuss current trends or industry developments. Lists: Create a listicle of tips, recommendations, or resources.

Feeling drained when speaking in a group of people is a common experience and can be attributed to various factors—from experience.  Social Anxiety If you're introverted or have social anxiety, which could be as a result of childhood trauma, environmental constraint, bullying etc interacting with a group can be mentally exhausting as it may trigger feelings of self-consciousness or fear of judgment. Cognitive Load Conversations in groups often require multitasking, like listening to multiple people, formulating responses, and monitoring non-verbal cues. This can be mentally taxing. Energy Depletion Socializing consumes mental energy. Introverts, in particular, may need more time to recharge after social interactions. Emotional Exhaustion  Group discussions can involve managing emotions, handling conflicts, or empathizing with others, which can be emotionally draining. Overstimulation  Crowded or noisy environments can overwhelm your senses, leading to exhaustion. Lack of...

 

In a world where everyone paints a perfect picture of themselves or shy away from their past/stories because of fear of being alone in such situation or fear of being stigmatised, you could be that light that shines in the dark by boldly sharing your own story regardless—which can inspire others in several ways. Relatability . When you share your personal experiences and challenges, others who have faced similar situations can relate to your story. They realize they are not alone in their struggles, and you too, which can be incredibly comforting and motivating. Resilience . Hearing about how you overcame obstacles or adversity can inspire others to persevere through their own difficulties. Your story can serve as a powerful example of resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Empathy. Sharing your vulnerabilities and emotions allows others to empathize with you. This can foster a sense of compassion and understanding, encouraging people to be more empathetic in their o...

And we're here with the third method of expressing gratitude daily.  The blitz method.   This method involves spontaneously writing all the things you are grateful for.  You don't stop until you have fully written every point down.  The advantage of this method is that it helps build your gratitude momentum from the ground up within a short period of time.  Use it when you need a quick boost of gratitude feelings or need to achieve a highly receptive and attractive state. Practice gratitude and you will see life from a whole new dimension.  Enjoy your day. 😘😘

For many people, saying No is one of the toughest things to do; it’s often uncomfortable, scary, and might be dangerous for your relationships with others. But at the same time, it is vital for your well-being. To stand up for what matters and tend to your needs or those of others, you must first say No to a request or demand that may conflict your values and standard, or that may be unwelcome, abusive, or inappropriate.  Saying No, though, isn’t as straightforward as we’d like it to be. It is one of the most powerful words in any language, and we must use it effectively and gracefully.  Think of it as your “+4” Uno card — it can save you when you are in a tough predicament, but overuse it, and no one will want to play with you anymore.  One thing I've realised about saying No is that you must keep a certain balance between exercising your will and power and tending to your relationship.  That balance is the missing link. Apply wisdom when saying No.  Remember t...

Today, we're looking at the second step of expressing gratitude daily; and it's: The time-lapse method. This is similar to the stacking method. The only difference here is the added intentionality. Rather than just write all the things you are grateful for, the time-lapse method involves writing equal numbers of things in the past, present and future that you are grateful for. Maybe 5 or 10 or 3 each, whatever number you have. Next, jumble your items so they aren't arranged in any order at all. Repeat steps 2 and 3 of the stacking method. Loving it right? Yes. I shared this with someone and the person has been practicing it and the fun part of this whole  idea is the simplicity—and I love it. Have an amazing month full of gratitude and manifestations of our heart desires. 😘😘😘

Dear Nigerians, tough times don't last., tough people do—the resilient, the Never say never, the determined, even the weak, you are still strong in your own way—You are alive! 🥰🥰🥰  Tomorrow will be better than today and Nigeria will surely be well again.  Happy Independence Day my fellow Nigerians. Stay strong; and long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 🇳🇬❤️

I have three gratitude methods I would like you to consider using today. They are all effective methods. But I am going to share one today, to make it less boring for some—then tomorrow and next You like that right? ☺️ You can pick any of the 3  methods  that resonates best with you to be using daily (when I'm done) —or choose all. 😊 The stacking method. This is a simple and straightforward method.  All you have to do is follow a three step process.  First, write down all the things you're grateful for as they come to your mind. Two, read through all the items on your list.  Three, take 20-60  seconds breaks  between each item—You can extend the time if you wish, I do.  This break is to enable you to meditate and feel the gratitude of each item before proceeding to the next. And meditation we know is a powerful tool for manifestation.  Meditate on the word of GOD and HIS promises and thank HIM for everything you have written down.  Hap...

Willpower gives you the power to control everything in your life, including your emotions, your attention, finances, health, relationships, and success in your career. For that reason, learning how to improve your levels of willpower is a must–do.. Self–knowledge — especially of how we find ourselves in willpower trouble — is the foundation of self–control. You need to recognize when you're making a choice that requires willpower; otherwise, the brain always defaults to what is easiest. ~ Kelly McGonigal Ph.D.

It's tiring, I know; still keep at it. Don't beat yourself up for not meeting up with set standards. Keep your head above the water and get going! Don't quit. You may be closer to your breakthrough than you think. 💪🤗

Your conscious and subconscious minds can synchronize to give you the outcomes you desire.  Your conscious mind is the one that gets direct contact with the external world, whereby it picks information, belief systems, and affirmations that it transfers to your subconscious. Your subconscious is subjective, so it receives and processes these information, then releases the outcome in the form of the results you get in life. Surprise? What this means is that you can make your mind deliver specific results. For example, before going to bed, you can make your mind to wake you up by 5 AM and it will happen if you believe—and we must know that our belief systems determine the quality of our lives. For example, if you believe that eating pizza will make you sick, it will happen even if you take a bite by mistake. Why? Because your subconscious mind has registered that pizza is not good for your health.  So, do you want to have some Pizza or not? 🍕😅 I got you with the title, didn't ...

If someone talks rudely to a person, it is important to remain calm and not react with hostility. Instead, it is helpful to try to understand why the person is behaving that way and address the situation calmly and respectfully.  If the behavior continues to be disrespectful or abusive, it may be necessary to set boundaries or seek help from a trusted authority figure or support system.
