Written by McPotar QUICK TIP: If you are lazy to read, scroll to the bottom of this blog post and watch the youtube video instead! Inthose days I also read “Think and Grow Rich” and “The Science of Getting Rich”among many other volumes that spoke on the same subject. However, as with any motivational material I lost the drive after weeks of attempting what the books claimed was true but still finding myself in no better position than before....
I love affirmations, I never used to affirm myself. On person put me on the drug and I have not been able to stop myself ever since then. Did I doubt that they work in the beginning, absolutely, and when I had doubt they did nothing for me. Affirmations are the equivalent of speaking things into existence for yourself. I found myself becoming more grateful, loving myself more and believing in myself way more. Negative thoughts start to fade,...
Truth #1: We Have Velcro In Our Brains. If you tend to lean towards anxiety, fear and pessimism about your life and the world, you are not alone. Humans have evolved to fundamentally focus on what can go wrong around us, seeking potential threats to our very existence. Rick Hanson puts it perfectly in his book, Hardwiring Happiness, by equating our tendency towards pessimism as having: “Velcro for the bad and Teflon for the...
This blog is inspired by the current affair brought to you by Olinda, Tytan & the other woman. So turns out Tytan has cheated AGAIN on his wife who married him, as Twitter says, Olinda. Now we have always known Olinda to take her L's publicly, every single time. She does this with every single L, she goes live and are out all the details. I stopped watching those after the second or third video because quite frankly, it's exhausting to...
At this point, I’m pretty sure everyone has heard of the term being thrown around and mentioned in articles and conversations. Self-care always gets termed with self-love because…hello, you only care if you love. So that’s what we are going to talk about here. Self-care is about recognizing that one is running low emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually; and taking necessary measures to replenish. Practicing self-care isn’t the...
Our parents know provision to be love. So for any time you yell, 'you never loved me anyway!' they respond, 'I clothed you, I put you in school, I fed you if that isn't love then that's that!' I know you have been here, especially if you are an African child. In African homes talking about your emotions means you are weak. A 'strong' person feels from within and keeps a smile on their face. Tears are for the weak too. Our parents have a goal to...
Wow! I played myself. 100% played myself! I walked into a trigger and had told myself I would never, lesson one trust your instincts. I watched surviving R Kelly, for those of you who are new to my blog I was abused as a child. I talk about it more in this blog post, you may read about it if you wish. So here I was thinking I was strong enough to get through it and not feel too much. I am the clown in this situation. Episode one, R Kelly and...
Growing up plus size was so hard for me, my body blew up when I went to boarding school and from then I could not bounce back to my flat tummy. Yes I once had those believe it or not. My mother would keep saying, 'It's baby fat, it will wear off,' every time someone threw a comment at me. I was in high school and she said it was baby fat. I bought into the dream she sold before high school became stressful and all I could turn to was food. I...
