Manifest Anything with an Abundance Mindset

Manifesting is bringing something tangible into your life by cultivating the experience of what you want to feel, then living and believing in that experience so it can become a reality. An abundance mindset helps you manifest anything you want because it starts with a deep belief that you are enough, that you have enough, and that you’re deserving of the things you have in your life. It’s a strong feeling of security and confidence in yourself. A belief that you already have

'I' Worth

Our self-esteem is divided into two completely different parts: Essential Dynamic Essential is the self-identification of our inner child, formed in early childhood, consisting of I = Mom + Dad in our psyche. Because the child unconditionally absorbs their environment from early childhood and identifies with these people. They do not separate themselves as a personality. Well, you, these two people, first mom and then dad joins after. All three of you are your SELF, your sel

Why so hard to love yourself?

Every baby is born with infinite self-love. But society destroys this love. Baby love is gradually pushed aside. Society tries to instill in him that his love must always be directed towards an external object and this makes the child unhappy. Yes, love for another is welcome, but not at the expense of self-love. Then you become second-rate in your own eyes, you become poor. Here's what's important to understand. Everyone around is trying to win the love of the other. No o

How are self-esteem and cortisol related?

How are self-esteem and cortisol related? There is a very interesting mechanism. In the morning, immediately after waking up, we have a high level of cortisol, since it is cortisol that gives a person cheerfulness and energy for the whole day. But if additional stress is added to the already high levels of cortisol, for example, due to lack of sleep, relationship problems, etc., cortisol levels become elevated. And with an overestimated level of cortisol, anxiety, insecurity,

Understanding Your Purpose In Life

The combination of a successful career, a loving family, and a strong social network may seem like the recipe for a perfect life. However, even those who can check each of those boxes might feel like something is missing—and that “something” is their purpose in life. “Finding your purpose” is more than just a cliché or a dream that will never be fulfilled. It’s a tool for better, happier, healthier life that too few people attempt to use. Why Do You Need a Sense of Purpose? A

10 Ways to Become More Conscious

What does it mean to become more conscious? It is the progressive realization of conscious mastery over your mind? The challenge is that it takes consciousness to grow consciousness.

What Is Life Purpose?

Your life purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life—the reasons you get up in the morning. Purpose can guide life decisions, influence behaviour, shape goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning. For some people, purpose is connected to vocation—meaningful, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in their responsibilities to their family or friends. Others seek meaning through spirituality or religious beliefs. Some people may find their

Does Evil Exist?

A professor at the university asked his students this question. - Is everything that exists created by God? One student boldly replied: - Yes, created by God. - Did God create everything? The professor asked. - Yes, sir, - the student replied. The professor asked: - If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds determine ourselves, it means that God is evil. The student became quiet upon hearing this answer.

The sentences parents deliver to their children often have more of an impact than they realise. But choosing a good sentence to say, particularly before or after a child plays sport, is tricky as parents want to make sure they are saying the ‘right thing’. So, what is the most powerful sentence parents can say? We think the answer is simply, “I’m proud of you”. So, what makes it such a positive phrase?

UNDERSTANDING THE TEENAGE BRAIN

Teenagers think differently to adults – they are more likely to take risks, be sleepy, misread emotions, give in to peer-pressure and lack self-control. Thanks to advances in technology, we have been able to peer inside the teenage brain and see more clearly how it works. So what have we discovered? And how can teachers use this information to help young people navigate the challenges of growing up and getting an education? TEENAGERS TAKE RISKS Let’s play a game. I will give
