Why You Deserve to Applaud Yourself

By
There may be days when you feel that you don’t belong here. It does feel like that sometimes and you are not alone in this. No matter where you are in life now, no matter how you feel right now, you deserve to applaud yourself. We can say that sometimes, it is so easy to feel insecure abou
t ourselves.
Here are reasons why you deserve to applaud yourself no matter what:

1. Your failures are as beautiful as your successes

Failures should not be taken against ourselves. Your failures have molded you into who you are today. Though they sometimes can leave us feeling really down, they do teach us lessons that we can never learn from any other way. You fail because you tried. It is in the trying that we are truly living. When you succeed, there is this sweetness that you reap. Failures must not be taken as the darkest corners of our lives. They are as beautiful as our successes. Failures humble us, they too, make us wiser and stronger. Remind yourself that each person out there also experiences their own failures. It is inevitable. Give yourself the well-deserved claps for being able to take in each failure, each success with humility, pride, and open-mindedness.

2. You are uniquely you

There is no one else like you in the world, in the universe. This is why you better stop comparing yourself with someone else (if you are still busy doing that). Lifestyle and travel writer for IDEAL Magazine UK Julia Humphrey shared, “I cried when I found out, not because I wasn’t happy for them but because I found myself belittling myself for where I was in life—no fancy degree, a small studio and with a part-time job that wasn’t going to cover a year-long awesome Swedish maternity leave. (Not that it really made a difference, considering I wasn’t even dating anyone.)” This is when she was in such a phase of her life when she could not help but compare herself to her peers. We all do this sometimes. This is because we constantly move in a society that seems to cultivate standards. Her life tremendously changed when she realized that she better stop doing that. And just like her, there are no reasons why you have to dwell on comparing yourself to others. Each of us deals with different struggles. What works for A does not totally work for B or C. You have a unique vision. Follow your own beat, and do not be scared of where your dance leads you.

3. Your are significant, yes you are

When you feel so alone, remember that you are significant. As you walk outside, you are able to marvel at the beauty of the natural world and the man-made sphere that human intelligence have built through time. You have friends who count on you and those who consider you their life force. You have been with people all these years and for sure, you have touched someone’s heart at some point. As you walk further, you feel the heartbeat of the world strong, weak, strong, weak… like you. You have surpassed challenges that you have encountered on your own. Others may not have seen that but you know deep within that you were so strong when you needed to be.

4. Your way of life is your message to the world

There are actually no rules on how to live the most meaningful life. Your view of what a great life is may be different from someone else’s but it does not mean that you are a failure. The more you get too pressured about the expectations of others, the more you become so hard on yourself. When you hear the calling of adventure and non-conformity, this does not mean that you are a notch lower to those who choose to work 9-5 and who stay in one place all their lives. They have their own message to the world. You have yours, too. Applaud yourself for allowing your voice be heard.

5. You are a gift

Can you recall that moment when someone thanked you for just being who you are? You are a gift. Sometimes, the darkest hours may overshadow how you see through inside who you are, but your light will surely illuminate even when the years have gone by. How you make someone feel will never be forgotten. You may reach a point when you feel that you’ve taken a path so different from the rest and you feel guilty about it. On the other hand, you do know that there is someone out there who is inspired with your bold choices, your special take on life.

Practice Communication in your Marriage

By
Most couples believe they need better communication skills and that would change their relationship for the better. They claim that they either argue because of misunderstandings or that one or the other don’t discuss their problems openly. Communication (or lack of it) is often NOT the problem Most couples have re-hashed issues over and over and they know what their partner’s position is. The issue is often that they do not accept the partner’s position and are “trying” to get them to change to see their side. And we know how that usually goes; right? It does not happen. So often communication problems will boil down to “they are not listening to me or they would change their behavior”; or “they don’t care enough about me to change”. Neither of these thought processes are helpful to building and sustaining a fabulous relationship. Breakdowns in communication are often the way in which each partner successfully maintains a balance of power. Power and control issues usually ex...

Train Your Mind, Improve Your Marriage

By
Whether you have been married for only a brief period of time, many years, or even decades, you want your marriage to be the best that it can be! You may have encountered some serious difficulties in your marriage, or you may simply wish to improve what is already a good relationship. The good news is you do not need to be content with wishing-- you CAN reconstruct your marriage.

But, what is so difficult about change? Change is challenging because it requires conquering and retraining your brain, which rigidly maintains the status quo. Your brain controls the very behaviors that are unhealthy for your union, despite your desire for a happier marriage. Doomed? Hardly. You’ve got science on your side. Use the fascinating research and discoveries of neuroscience and neuroplasticity to h...

Ways in which a Perception Of Someone can Be Defined By How Other People Describe Them

By
There are times when one will meet someone without knowing anything about them and then there are other times when this won’t be the case. In this instance, one will have heard about the other before person they have even met them. When this happens, one can feel as though they already know the other person, and even though they haven’t met them, they may feel the need to behave in a certain way. And the way in which they behave can all depend on how the other person describes them. First Impression This can mean that their first impression of the other person won’t be formed through being in their presence; it will be formed through listening to what other people say. It then might not matter how accurate their descriptions are, as one can believe they are finding out what someone is like. However, if one hears what other people have to say and then decides to come to their own conclusion, they might be able see for themselves. But, this doesn’t mean they won’t...
