https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-doing-hand-heart-sign-1535244/

 

It is 2021 already! Ushered in with the year are set goals, new year resolutions, an ever-growing to-do list, and expectations for the months ahead. It is great to strive to be better, to make an impact, and influence everyone around you positively, but you should not forget the important role of self-love. It helps you stay committed to yourself and keeps you inspired all year long.

Self-love is not only about feeling good; it is dynamic. It is a state of appreciation for yourself and accepting your weaknesses as well as your strengths.

 

If you desire more self-love in 2021, here are important tips to keep in mind:

#1 Be Sincere but Kind to Yourself

There should be a balance between self-reflection and kindness. Befriend yourself this year. Make the most out of the year by being honest with yourself. Identify the areas you need to change and be intentional about creating that change.

 

#2 Stay Positive

A daily dose of positivity will help you in achieving your set goals. Start each day by telling yourself something beautiful and positive. Pat yourself on the back and do things that will make you smile.

 

#3 Stop the Comparisons

There is no one like you on this planet. You are different from every other person. So, it is unhealthy to compare yourself with others. The only person that matters is you.

 

#4 Celebrate Your Wins

Whether big or small, always be proud of what you have achieved in the year. You deserve to be celebrated.

 

 

I hope that in 2021 you become more fluent in self-love. I hope that this year, you know your worth like it’s your mother’s tongue.

New Year, New You: How to Stay Consistent With Your Goals

 

New Year, New You: How to Stay Consistent With Your Goals

 

It’s a new year again where everyone starts setting goals and making new year resolutions. Desiring change and setting plans for the year ahead. Be it getting a new job, starting a business, losing weight, or quitting drugs, most people feel January is the best time to start living life on a clean slate.

However, a new year is like a regular day and the same as the previous one. These huge goals and changes are short-lived, and people go back to their usual self in just a few weeks. This is because these resolutions are calendar obligations with less discipline and consistency.

No matter how small or big your goals for the year are.

 

Here are ways you can produce change and stay consistent:

 

#1 Set Realistic Goals

Aiming to hit the gym seven days a week is not realistic. Neither is trying to lose a lot of weight in a month. Be reasonable with your goals. Set goals that challenge you but are not impossible.

 

#2 Take Small Steps

If you are feeling overwhelmed about making a big change in your life, focus on taking it a step at a time. Start with one small action you can achieve because smaller steps will lead to a bigger overall change.

 

#3 Have an Accountability Partner

It could be a friend or your life partner. Just someone you respect and won’t let it slide if you want to give up.

 

As you start the year, know that making a change is never easy and every time you want to give up, always remember why you started.

Depression is Not a Sign of Weakness

 Do you often hear voices in your head, whispering things to you, or you feel irritable, suicidal, anxious and you have a hopeless outlook of your life? These are symptoms of depression.

It is not news that depression whispers bad things into your mind about your capabilities. You hear things like “You can’t even do anything right, your life is a mess, why don’t you have a family at this age, your mates are making progress, you are too fat, or you are ugly,” and every other statement that makes you feel particularly bad about yourself.

If you are wondering why you keep feeling this way, no one knows what causes depression. It can occur due to a variety of reasons. It could be as a result of:

#1 Abuse

#2 Medications

#3 Death or loss of loved one

#4 Genetics

#5 Major life events

#6 Substance abuse

#7 Serious illnesses

 

Due to different symptoms of depression, it is a common assumption that depressed people are weak and not strong enough. What is worse is even people with depression blame themselves and feel their lack of strength is the reason they are depressed.

However, those who face depression are doing so with great strength, even when it doesn’t feel like it. Regardless of these factors, in life, everything negative, pressure and challenges is an opportunity for you to rise.

Stay positive and face life with hope and motivation.

Adapting to new beginnings can sometimes feel a little rough, but in many ways, the beauty in enjoying your new beginning is the sense of adventure that comes from it.

Rising From the Depths: How to Navigate Through Depression

 

Rising From the Depths: How to Navigate Through Depression

 Depression is difficult to manage, especially because you feel ashamed and struggle to find calm within yourself. You see everyone happy, and you feel sad or guilty that you are not able to see yourself the way other people see you.

However, you are not alone. Many people struggle with depression. Depression is a common mental illness. According to the stats, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression.

So how do you navigate through its symptoms and still live your best life:

#1 A good therapist goes hand in hand with medications

#2 Let go of major life expectations and do only the things you can do

#3 Don’t be too hard on yourself

#4 Give yourself credit every time you make progress, even when it looks small

#5 Always find joy in simple things

Irrespective of what life throws at you, you need to know that there is only one you on this planet, and you can be your own home and feel worthy of being happy with who you are.

You have to allow self-kindness, tenderness, and the belief that you are worthy. It will take some time, but once you get there, there is no looking back. Always know that you are noble and great, courageous, determined, faithful and fearless.

That is who you are and who you have always been. And understanding these can change your life because this knowledge carries a confidence that cannot be duplicated any other way.

When life comes with its challenges, remember the words of Theodore Roosevelt:

“Courage is not having the strength to go on;

 it is going on even when you don’t have the strength.”

How Bullying Affects Mental Health

 

How Bullying Affects Mental Health

Mental health is a topical subject. Even though many people are ignorant about it, conversations about it are coming up both online and offline. One question that keeps coming is;

“Can bullying affect mental health?” Of course, it can!

Imagine being a victim every day. Whether it is for seven months or seven years or anything in between, frequent abuse is not something anyone can forget or get over quickly.

For most people, it stays with them for a long time, causing a ripple effect of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and lack of self-confidence.

You cannot underestimate the effects of bullying on emotional and mental well-being. These effects stay for a very long time. If you are being bullied, please speak out. If you are bullying someone, you need to stop now.

 

Proactive Actions Against Bullying

Take note of the following tips. They’ll help you against bullying:

#1 Phrases like ‘toughen up’ does not work anymore. It is insensitive.

#2 Honest and open conversations about bullying should be routine.

#3 Write powerful affirmations and quotes for yourself and put them in conspicuous places and use them to encourage yourself every day.

#4 Establish a strong support system with your loved ones.

#5 Bullying is not okay! It is not a normal thing.

#6 Always know you are not alone.

#7 Don’t be a bystander if you see someone being bullied, step in, and speak up assertively so you can overcome bullying.

#8 Seek help.

If you are still suffering from the effects of bullying, please slow down. Don’t allow others to hurry your healing. It is a process. It may take years, occasionally even a lifetime and that’s okay.
