THE ART OF DISENGAGING
Disengaging is the act of withdrawing from or ceasing to take part in an activity, conversation, or relationship. It can be seen as a means of self-protection, a way to avoid getting hurt, or simply a way to take a break. It’s all about taking a step back and not letting yourself get too wrapped up in things. It’s about detaching yourself from the drama and the stress of the day-to-day life. I’ve always been a big fan of disengaging as an approach to life, but it seems like more and more people are talking about it as a way to reduce stress and live a happier life. Time and…

DEALING WITH GRIEF/SEPERATION.
They say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,but in real sense,most people do.The only difference is,they just don’t think they’ll loose that particular person. One of the worst mistakes when it comes to grief,is not dealing with your feelings and emotions when it happens and instead putting on a show of how strong you can be.It’s alright to break down otherwise you can’t run away from it. You may think to yourself,yes i’m strong but eventually when you least expect,all the emotions will begin to manifest and sometimes not in a pleasant manner. Haven’t you come across someone that people deem to as having changed after the…

MIXED SIGNALS WHEN IT COMING TO DATING.
During the initial stages of courtship and even a little after dating,or what most people nowadays refer to as the honeymoon phase,there’s usually a lot of effort from both parties put into that relationship. I strongly believe it’s due to the newness of the relationship which brings along excitement and therefore both parties can’t wait to text each other or just simply check up on one another. What happens after the initial stage is up and now both parties are fond of each other,the excitement wears off.If a strong foundation wasn’t built during the courtship period,most couples tend to split when there’s no more excitement. The mistake we make when…

EXPECTATIONS THAT TAG ALONG WITH FRIENDSHIPS.
Other than life,i wish friendship too came with a manual.I literally mean it.But then again,it doesn’t and that’s up to anyone to figure out how to deal with whatever is thrown their way. Unfortunately,the unrealistic things that people impose on you just simply because you’re supposed to be their friend are extreme. You will decide to start a boutique ,maybe even a candle business but because you’re friends with z he or she expects things for free.That’s the same person who would rather share memes on their feeds rather than links to your business or businesses. The aftermath of not giving into their demands usually is being blocked,ill-mouthed or maybe…

WHY IT’S NOT WORKING VERSUS MY DEFINITION OF LOVE.
For quite sometime now I’ve wanted to be wrong about something and i mean that.Look around!Intentionally or not,our generation maybe,just maybe…is hell bent on proving me right on this one fact. We have no clue what love is.It’s either that or plainly people just don’t care anymore.It’s more of we’re excited of the idea of love rather than love itself. I’ll not even act like an expert when it comes to love,but i know I’ve experienced love to differentiate what is from what isn’t and probably you too. Love to me is more of a decision.It’s deciding to love one person despite their flaws and sticking to them even when…

TWENTIES AND LOST.
Is it just me or is anyone else in their early twenties feeling a little lost?Lost is infact an understatement.There’s this feeling of being anxious mostly because there’s pressure from your guardians,friends and to top it all,from yourself. Wait!I almost missed one..The “social media pressure”.Right, left and center there’s this constant reminder of how you should do things differently in order to suit everyone. Every generation is different but i consider this one a “cocktail” with ingredients being a mixture of nepotism,Jealousy and bribery.Having said that,getting a job has become a nightmare for us young people. Left with no choice but to ask for help from those with “experience”,you get…

MASTERING SELF-DISCIPLINE.
The odds of anyone coming across this article and not having a clue of this term are very low.I wouldn’t want to assume ,therefore self-discipline is more of regulating yourself without needing anyone else to tell you what to do and vice versa. With self discipline,you tend to shield yourself from unnecessary or unreasonable things.For instance,if the people you associate with have a tendency of ill mouthing others,just because they do it doesn’t automatically mean you go for it as well.As a person who is self-disciplined,you’ll avoid that at all costs because that’s not you. On the other hand,if you’re one who is easily swayed by the crowd,then it wouldn’t…
