  Be patient with yourself. Nothing in nature blooms all year... Time and season differs.

It means we accept that progress is not always a smooth road and that setbacks and challenges are a norm...

The waiting period can feel endless, testing one's patience and resilience. This is what it's like when there's no timeframe for the waiting period.

  Feeling lonely is tough, and it can make us want to reach out to anyone, even when we know they are not good for us. But here's the thing: reconnecting with toxic people when we're lonely is not a good idea. Sure, they might seem familiar and offer temporary relief from feeling alone, but on the long run, it can make things worse.

We can try new hobbies, reach out to supportive friends or family members, or even spend some time alone doing things we love and enjoy. Taking care of our...

There were times when I spent so much energy worrying about potential problems, only to realize that what actually went wrong was never the stuff I was stressing or worried about. It's a common human tendency to let our minds run wild with worst-case scenarios. We dwell on the ''what ifs'' and ''maybes,'' fearing the unknown. However, life has a funny way of proving our worries wrong. I've come to realize that dwelling on uncertainties is like paying interest on a loan you haven't even taken yet. It steals precious moments from our present, moments that could be filled with joy, laughter, and positive experiences.  So, why waste time and energy on things that may never happen? Instead of drowning in a sea of worries, I've learned to focus on the present moment. Surely, planning for the future is essential, but letting anxiety dictate our every move isn't....
