Your high value is inherent

Positive thinking leads to the growth mindset, high value woman

In this world of stark contrasts and strong opinions, we often find ourselves questioning our self-esteem. Am I a high value woman? Not only are we constantly proven by everything around us and social media that we are below average intelligence, beauty and status, but we also criticise ourselves a lot. This leaves us feeling inadequate, to say the least. How do I even handle my self esteem in a world where there are probably at least a hundred Chinese children who can do maths or literally anything else better than me. First, let me point out that you have an inherent value as a person. You are a unique person with your own set of qualities nobody else has. There...

How negative thoughts thrive in your mind

Jul 23. 2023

Personal development starts with your mindset. Stop negative thoughts

Throughout my life, I never received much emotional education. I used to believe that staying busy and avoiding dwelling on things would bring me peace, enough to maintain healthy relationships and a generally smooth existence with myself, ignoring my negative thoughts. As it often happens, the coping mechanisms we develop during childhood and early adulthood might work well for a while, but eventually, they become outdated for the current stage of life we're in. Life got pretty hectic as I threw myself into numerous projects, travels, social events, and work commitments. But too much of a good thing can be exhausting! I found myself craving peace and serenity to balance it all out. So, I decided to slow down a bit,...

Developmental Psychology

The master of selective perception

Jul 17. 2023

Personal development plan gets you to the new beginnings

Sometimes our brain is a little mischievous, working both for us and against us. It's like having a frenemy in your head, always pulling pranks on you when you least expect it. All the automatic processes that happen against our will to support our existence happen without conscious mind even noticing it most of the time, like digestion or pumping blood or stress responses that are supposed to get your butt moving to escape that danger. It's like having a team of little brain workers tirelessly managing our survival. They're like the Avengers of our body, but with fewer capes and more neural connections. But can you imagine if we had to control everything ourselves, consciously? Picture this: you're in a meeting...

Hello World!

Jul 17. 2023

Welcome, dear reader, to my blog. I am very happy you’re here! I created this blog so that I can post a weekly nugget of wisdom straight from the depths of my mind. I would like to write here what I consider “I was years old when I found out…” type of revelation. Now, I do possess a plethora of interests and hobbies, but fear not! I shan't bore you with those peculiar topics. Instead, I aim to focus on the genuine stuff that makes life, work, and relationships smoother. On this blog, I’ll post things I’ve learned, some things regrettably kind of too late in life. Why do I write for women, you might wonder? All are welcome here! As...
