growth_self_improvement_banner_with_flowers

We don’t receive much emotional education during our childhood and adolescence that prepares us for the depths of emotions we experience daily. All I knew was that there are positive and negative emotions, and sometimes they are overwhelming, coupled with the awareness that therapy is costly. When my emotional education began in adulthood, journaling proved to be the most valuable (and cost-effective) tool, second only to therapy. Let’s explore how to journal for self-growth. What is Journaling I’ve always wanted to keep a diary, where I describe events in my life, so that I can revisit them years later and see what was happening and when. However, journaling is more than that; it involves sharing your deep thoughts, emotions, experiences and observations...

How to best spend time alone, self-awareness and personal growth

Our time is limited and very precious. It's our most limited resource and the one we can never get back. For that reason, we need to spend it wisely and have some time to grow and improve ourselves. This is why we have to schedule some time for ourselves in solitude. Hence, in this blog post, we will find out how to best spend time alone.

How to become your own dream girl, self-acceptance

Are you his dream girl? You might just be. But before we can get there, we need to work on something even more important. And it has to do with the relationship with yourself. Because you are the most important person in your life. Let’s explore what it means and how to become your own dream girl. Be the change you want to see We place a significant emphasis on the desire to be someone's dream girl. Often, we seek this acceptance, validation, and the source of deep, unconditional love from our current or potential partners.

How to be a more confident woman

Aug 21. 2023
How to be a more confident woman, self-acceptance

What does confidence mean to you? Is it when you enter the room and own it? Is it being able to talk to men freely and charm everybody around you? It seems like something we have because of external validation, but the path to confidence starts within you. Let’s explore how to be a more confident woman. Internal or external force? I used to think that I will be more confident when I have more experience or look better. Confidence is very difficult to achieve, as we often think that we need to get lots of validation from others in order to feel like we are crushing it in life.
