Own your mind
It makes human sense that our experiences shape our lives and our thoughts. We have ups and we have downs, good days and bad days. Sometimes we feel that life isn’t fair and that we were dealt a bad hand of cards.
Gaan jy groei of oorleef?
Die probleem met ou waarhede of gesegdes is dat ons ons nie aan hulle steur nie. Want ons ken hulle te goed en ons dink nooit daaraan om dit op onsself toe te pas nie.
Rejection is no-one’s friend – or could it be?
No wonder that a corporate rejection, ranging from dismissal to the painful NO in response to a job application, gives you a tummy ache and sleepless nights.
Scientists have also discovered that the reliving of a rejection experience, causes people to operate at a much lower IQ level than their normal capacity.
I found behavioural scientist Jay Shetty’s six steps to recovery after rejection, valuable.
Wat jaag jou?
In my kleintyd was daar ‘n Chihuahua-brak in ons straat. Sy naam was Pim. ‘n Mens kon nie help om jou te verkyk aan die klein bokkie-agtige diertjie nie, maar as hy eers met sy geniepsige kefferblaf begin het, wou jy sy nek omdraai. Eintlik was hy verskriklik dom. Wanneer hy iets verkeerd gedoen het soos om verbygaande motors te jaag het hy agter ‘n blom gaan wegkruip en sy oë styf toegeknyp. Want hy’t gedink as hy jou nie kan sien nie, kan jy hom ook nie sien nie.
Prioriteite en Skuldgevoelens
Prioriteite is faktore in jou lewe waarvan jy eers weet wanneer hulle verkeerd ingespan is.
Dis een van die skuldig-voel-items – byna soos gesondheid – wat jy weet aandag verdien.
Don’t let this year be like last year
We easily laugh at the well-known definition of insanity, without applying the truth to our own circumstances: “Insanity is doing the same things over and over, expecting a different result.”
Pace yourself to higher productivity
Is it not uncanny how we know so much but do not practise what we know? We know what is good for us, what we shouldn’t do and we can chant all the mantras to support ‘a good life’: A healthy body contains a healthy soul; You become what you eat/think and so forth. But do we live it? Not a chance!
Weet jy hoe om bakhand te staan?
Gee was nog nooit regtig vir my moeilik nie. Om die waarheid te sê, kry ek mense wat nie kan gee nie, eintlik jammer. As jy ouer as vier jaar is, sou jou ma jou geleer het dat gee lekker kan wees.
Are you investing in healthy sleep habits?
Whether you are trying to resolve a specific sleep problem, or just want to feel more productive, mentally sharp, and emotionally balanced during the day, investing in your nightly seven to nine hours’ shut-eye is an investment in your quality of life.
Kwartleeftyd-krisis
Ek kyk onlangs na ‘n You Tube-video oor Millennials wat ‘n kwartleeftyd-krisis beleef en ek dink ai siestog, die arme goed! Dat hulle nou op 25 al moet sukkel met stres. Terwyl hulle eintlik nog moet cool wees en redelik in beheer voel.
