You have goals but are stuck in a rut.

Your mind is constantly feeding off distractions and the act of focusing feels like a mission in itself. You just can’t seem to get on with what you need to do and end up doing stuff that doesn’t serve you. You know you have potential, but the damn thing refuses to show up. You can’t stop questioning what’s wrong with you. You’re tired, frustrated, full of guilt, and feel like giving up. With everything going on, your peers of course are killing it in every possible way and you can’t help yourself from feeling like absolute shit.

The good news is that you’re not the only one who’s experienced this doomsday. The better news is that there is a way out of it. Read more “How to hack your brain to work in your favour”

The transition from childhood to adulthood is no joke. Amongst many things, adolescence is that perplexing phase of self-discovery, where one latches onto ideals of freedom, finds fresh interests, and falls for new people. It’s also a bloody nightmare for most parents.

It’s a sad state of affairs. Read more “A sneak peak into the mysterious mind of a teen”

‘Man up’, ‘stop being an emotional fool’, ‘you’re overreacting’..

Lets face it. We all judge… All the time.It’s like we’re wired to put people in boxes based on our likes and dislikes, our standards and self-made rules.

Some judgements are based on our values of what we see as good or bad, smart or stupid, responsible or ignorant and the like. Other times our judgements are based on more superficial shit like what school one went to, where one lives, what cars they drive, what brands they wear and so on… Read more “Breaking the walls of Judgement”

We have a problem and it’s a big one. So big that we’ve become better at being in denial about it than dealing with it. Its what’s driving most of our behaviours, secretly funding social networking platforms and is sadly also contributing to the mental health industry. It’s called seeking social validation, a need that’s on the rise like never before. Read more “Addressing the elephant in the room- the desperation of Validation”

So much of our childhood was spent hearing the word ‘NO’ and yet in the latter half of our lives, it’s something we grapple with using, especially when we need to.

It’s the middle of the afternoon and you’re on your desk struggling with an assignment. You feel like a breather, so you turn on Netflix to watch a quick show. Half an hour later, your IG pops a notification about your long lost friend who’s posted the ‘first time in a while’. You finally manage to sit back down to attack your assignment and your much -awaited Bumble match responds back, you can’t hold your excitement!

Writing about this topic feels rather ironic given that for the most part of my life I wasn’t familiar with resilience, let alone embodying it. Having grown up with a lot of limiting beliefs, I was far from confident and had no desire to be seen in any way. So I shut myself away from the world, hiding in my little shell, going along the ride of life, with ‘I cant’ as my go to word.
