, "Don't Think You're Good Enough? How to Change Your Thoughts & Increase Your Self-Worth."
Many of us struggle with limiting beliefs and a lack of self-worth when it comes to achieving our dreams and financial success. These beliefs may stem from others' perception of our worth, as if we are only worth a certain amount or incapable of reaching higher levels of success.
Far too often, fear of stepping outside our comfort zones and the desire to maintain social standing keep us from pursuing entrepreneurship or exploring opportunities like multilevel marketing or network marketing. It's essential to shift our mindset and see these opportunities as real businesses with the potential for financial freedom.
So how can we break free from these limiting beliefs and embrace our full potential?
Remember, unlocking your potential and conquering limiting beliefs takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way. You are capable of achieving greatness!
If you have any more questions or need further guidance on this topic or any other personal development aspect, feel free to ask. My goal is to help you succeed in your business and personal endeavors.

These 11 Relaxing Activities Will Refresh & Recharge Your Mind, Body and Spirit
On average, how many relaxing activities would you say you do each week?
If you find yourself feeling drained at the end of your day, you may need to prioritize some refresh and recharge time.
Running on empty can certainly catch up to you eventually – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Life has its busy times, for sure. However, if you’ll take just a bit of time regularly to relax, you’ll just feel better. You’ll be more eager to face your days, rather than dread them. And, you’ll have more to give those you care about.
"You can't pour from an empty cup."
You've probably heard this saying - and for good reason! It means exactly what it sounds like - when you have nothing left in your tank, you have nothing left to give, whether to yourself or to others.
Self-care (Or refilling your cup) doesn't have to be difficult, or take a lot of time from your already busy days. But even adding a few relaxing activities into your day or week can make a huge difference to your overall energy and stress levels.
While you engage in these relaxing activities, from something as simple as taking a bath, using aromatherapy and going to bed early, take some time to check in with yourself. How do you feel, generally? What do you need? What is weighing on you, what do you feel proud of?

"Parenting Adult Children? 6 Important Points to Make the Transition."
Welcome to the podcast, "Parenting Adult Children? 6 Important Points to Make the Transition." In this episode, we will explore key considerations and strategies for successfully navigating the transition from parenting children to supporting them as adults. Whether you are a parent yourself or someone who works with parents, these insights can provide valuable guidance in this unique stage of life.
1. Establish open communication: One crucial aspect of parenting adult children is maintaining open lines of communication. Encourage honest and respectful conversations where both parties can express their thoughts, needs, and expectations. This fosters a healthy and supportive relationship.
2. Respect their independence: As our children grow into adults, it's vital to respect their autonomy and decision-making abilities. Offer guidance when requested but allow them to make their own choices, even if they differ from what we might prefer. This helps them develop confidence and self-reliance.
3. Balance support and boundaries: Finding the right balance between offering support and setting boundaries is essential. While it's natural to want to protect and help our adult children, it's equally important to encourage their personal growth by allowing them to face challenges and learn from their experiences.
4. Encourage personal responsibility: Transitioning into adulthood involves taking on new responsibilities. Encourage your adult children to take ownership of their actions, finances, and life decisions. This empowers them to develop a sense of accountability and resourcefulness.
5. Provide emotional support: Even as adults, our children may still need emotional support at times. Be there for them, ready to offer a listening ear, empathy, and guidance when needed. Creating a safe space for them to express their emotions can strengthen the parent-child bond.
6. Foster a lifelong relationship: Parenting doesn't stop when our children become adults. It evolves into a lifelong relationship based on mutual respect, love, and understanding. Embrace the changing dynamics and continue to nurture the connection with your adult children.

What is Stonewalling? 6 Signs, 8 Causes & Tips to Promote Open Communication
It is no secret that conflicts and misunderstandings exist in every relationship, despite how the relationship might look like to the outside world.
How these are dealt with determines how the relationship will progress or end.
How do you deal with conflicts in your relationships?
One can think that there are two kinds of people.
• The ones who are always ready to address the issue when it is still burning and iron out any differences or concerns immediately.
• And those who need some time to think about it before eventually having the discussion.
But, over time, I have learnt that there is also a 3rd group. People who do not want to deal with the issue at all.
One way they do this is through stonewalling. This is when one consciously or subconsciously shuts down and opts to not deal with the issue.

Survivor Guilt: How Do You Know if You're Experiencing it & 6 Ways to Help
Surviving a life-threatening situation is emotionally turbulent for various reasons.
You might wish you had done more at the time of the event. You might feel guilty for others getting hurt at the expense of yourself. And you might feel guilty, as though you’ve done something wrong, for surviving while others didn’t.
If that last sentence hit home, you might have something called “survival guilt.” This term was first coined to describe those who survived the Holocaust. However, the same concept can also be applied to those who have been in life-threatening car crashes, wars, natural disasters, and more.
In this article, we take a closer look at what survivor guilt truly means, the signs, the causes, and how you can begin to overcome it.

How You Can Gain Back Control with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Our thoughts can make or break us — quite literally.
If you start telling yourself that you are unworthy or not enough, you will start believing it. And this can quickly start a downward spiral, increasing your risk of anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders.
In contrast, if you believe you can achieve, it’s more likely you will. Surprisingly, your thoughts and beliefs often become reality.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) forces you to challenge your negative thoughts to alter your behavior and ultimately, improve your life.
So, let’s take a closer look at this topic.
• Is CBT right for you?
• What should you know?

3 Things to Help You Commit to Change & Doing the Tough Stuff
Chances are there are things you desire, but you just don’t have yet.
It’s human nature to desire all sorts of things. However, many people live an entire lifetime without getting the things that matter the most to them.
They want change, but the truth is that change isn’t always easy.
In fact, the majority of people who set goals, such as weight loss or quitting smoking, do not reach their goals.
Most New Year’s resolutions are not carried through more than one or two months. Many people who find themselves in bad relationship after bad relationship never take the time to dig deep and commit to the tough stuff in between relationships – like healing.
• Just what is it that keeps us from changing?
• How can we want something “so badly”, yet year after year we don’t attain it?
There are many reasons depending on various factors.
Change IS hard, but it’s not impossible.
Today, I want to share three things with you concerning change and how you can plow past any obstacles that have been holding you back.
Are You Giving Your Power Away? How to Tell & How to Take It Back
Recently, I started to truly understand the concept of “letting go.”
While overused, hanging onto grudges or anger hurts only ourselves. Yet, letting go offers freedom and opportunity — something, perhaps, many of us wish we had more of.
When beginning to write this article, I couldn’t help but draw parallels between the power of letting go versus not giving your power away.
As Eckhart Tolle has said, “Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than hanging on.”
When we get angry and react, we allow someone else to “control” or “sway” our emotions.
And while we can’t control our emotions in every case (for instance, it’s absolutely okay and normal to be sad over changes in your life or the loss of someone close to you), we can do our best, situationally dependent.
In other words, we can actively choose to change our thoughts and avoid reacting or avoid giving someone else the power to manipulate us.
So, let’s dig into this concept a bit further.
Are you giving your power away?

The Tinkerbell Effect: How Does Our Belief Shape Our Reality?
If you’re on TikTok, you may have seen some reels talking about the Tinkerbell Effect, as it’s been quite popular recently.
This refers to the phenomenon where something exists or works simply because people believe in it.
Just like Tinkerbell, the fairy from Peter Pan, who only survives as long as people believe in her, the Tinkerbell Effect highlights the power of belief in shaping outcomes.
Essentially, it emphasizes the importance of understanding that our beliefs and perceptions can have a significant impact on the reality we create for ourselves.
As we become more aware how our beliefs can influence outcomes, we can actually harness this power to create a positive mindset and work towards achieving our goals with more ease and flow.

What's Your Personal Equation & How Does it Affect How You See the World?
Have you ever heard the term, personal equation?
The term personal equation, in 19th- and early 20th-century science, referred to the idea that different observers have different reaction times, which can introduce bias when it comes to measurements and observations. - Wikipedia
Originating in the world of astronomy, the concept was moved into the area of social science by William James, then later adopted by Carl Jung who said,
"one sees what one can best see oneself."
Carl Gustav Jung - Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst - founded a theory that each one of us experiences the world according to a particular combination between the way of "recharging energy" and the degree of development of the four psychological functions: thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition.
In psychology, this combination is called personal equation, knowing it helps us to better understand our way of seeing and experiencing the world.
The purpose of this presentation is to review some aspects of personality according to Jung's theory and put into perspective not only our own way of observing what surrounds us, but also to recognize that each one does so from a different and equally valid place.

What's Your Adversity Quotient (AQ) & How Can it Help You Handle Life's Challenges?
Great leaders are known for their great qualities - such as an indomitable will, accountability, patience, and the ability to adapt and even thrive in any environment they find themselves in.
But as any adult knows, leadership roles don't only apply to politics, nor do they end in the corporate world. Leaders (and their leadership qualities) are helpful in all walks of life - from the big to the small, serious to frivolous.
Hence, these qualities can be honed and developed by everyone and anyone.
Sadly, families, schools, and society at large seldom teach people how to be leaders.
A lot of people grow up being told what to do all their lives, and they suddenly shiver and break when they face real-life problems and adversities because no one is telling them what to do anymore.
The problem is, while families, schools, and society at large might be great at helping people develop their Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Social Quotient (SQ), as well as Emotional Quotient (EQ), they do a poor job of developing their Adversity Quotient (AQ).
And without or lack of this important quotient, the rest may be insufficient in handling life's challenges.
8 Helpful Ways to Cope With the Aftermath of Being Ghosted
There are a lot of great things that the modern world has made possible.
Faster transportation, huge cities, the internet, and social media. However, that modern world has also led to a series of challenges and issues such as accidents, theft, and ghosting.
Yes, unlike our forefathers who lived in small towns and villages – restricted to commune with only people within trekkable distances – fast transportation, the internet, and social media (in particular) has made it possible to stay in touch with people from distant cities (sometimes halfway across the globe).
Long-distance relationships have never been easier (fixable, and even enjoyable).
And while it is amazing to stay connected with people despite the distance and buzz, it has also become equally possible to lose people. Ghosting is now possible.

4 Ways to Get Support for Depression When You Can't Afford Therapy Right Now
As someone who has battled with mild depression for most of my life, I understand the struggle all too well.
In my younger years, I didn't even realize that what I was experiencing was depression. I had become so accustomed to the persistent heaviness that it felt like a normal part of my existence.
However, as I entered my 30s, the weight of it intensified, and I could no longer ignore its grip on me.
At that time, I couldn’t afford therapy, so I embarked on a self-directed journey toward climbing out of the darkness, taking slow but steady steps. Let me tell you, it has been a roller coaster ride—a whirlwind of emotions, setbacks, and small victories along the journey.
Yet, every ounce of effort I put into this journey has been worth it.

If you’re feeling down and out, stuck in deep sadness, or feeling lost and just aren’t sure what to do, I hope that something here will resonate with you, provide hope, and get you started on your own liberation journey.
