The truth behind masculine female

 There are many women we meet who are strong, bold and accomplished.They are leaders and pioneers in their field and are often independent.Most people are intimidated by their success and men are fearful of approaching them. They are fulfilled in all aspects of life-emotional, spiritual, financial , and yet, love and a good relationship deludes them.They either attract effeminate men or remain single for long periods of time.The men who ask them out are either put in their place early on and leave them or the relationship starts wherein she wears the pants with a weak man. Men find her impossible to deal with because she refuses to lower her guard .She is unfulfilled with the weak man This woman was most probably raised by a weak passive father/emotionally absent or alcoholic father.Her early male interaction taught her that the masculine cant be relied upon/is unsafe.She hence decide to take the reigns in her hands and became the man. Being with a weak male does not fulfil her. Sh...

How fear from the past keeps us small

 We have oftentimes seen that there are people who are afraid of taking any kind of risk in their lives.They stay at low paying jobs which don't fulfill them, stay in abusive relationships and never start their own initiatives/businesses even if they have the requisite skills. They hold onto security and trade it for new experiences.They live in fear of losing what they have if they chase what they can have.They also have abundance blocks at times and feel unworthy of bigger and better things. They live mired in fear and see life pass by them. The fear stems from previous losses and hardships in life. The way out is to acknowledge the past but not be a slave to it.

8 traits of attention seekers on social media

Social media platforms like instagram and facebook are an attention seekers paradise.These platforms are replete with lonely people who will engage with anything that shows up in their feed-all they need is to be stimulated.Further, some people have a habit of pressing like or heart button whenever they see a new post .This makes things fantastic for those seeking attention.

Unwavering self worth

Capitalism has taught us to base our self worth on what we possess.Our possessions can range from wealth, property, car to partners and jobs.Having these lends us security, social standing and self-worth .Many people spend all their time acquiring these possessions. Further, many people base their sense of worth, potency and self-worth on how much they earn or what possessions they have.Natural calamities , pandemics and other unforseen incidents often cause one to lose their job and possessions. Downturns like a recession, loss in business, end of a relationship result in loss of these posessions.Attachment to these creates severe despair and one believes what one is "horrible " and "deserves nothing good" when these losses happen.Also, these people do not have a solid, well-developed sense of self and hence question their worth when such a loss occurs.They spend all their energy in trying to tide over the loss by acquiring newer possessions, often at the cos...

Flow versus resist

Life is a flowing river.We believe we are on a boat and are steering it in the river, but the truth is that the river is taking the boat where it wills.Our ego does not permit us to acknowledge this and we resist the flow.He harder the resistance, the greater is the blow to the boat.If we have prolonged resistance, the boat gets damaged and water begins to enter into it. It is hence a good idea to not resist the flow of life.One must accept the situation one is in and then take action to change it if one does not like it.By doing so, one has surrendered to "what is" and is not fighting from a place of resistance anymore.This eases the flow and makes it easier to navigate the path.

Relapse of emotional healing and what to do about it

Emotional healing is the process of acknowledging our childhood wounds, behavior patters and traumas which prevent us from having healthy relationships and living a whole life.We often set up therapy sessions/read self help books/hire an online coach/attend community help healing sessions and the likes to change our patterns and evoke self love.Further, we journal, spend time with nature, meditate and relax to effect faster change. After a while, the changes start to take place.Within 8-12 months, we have undone our patterns, healed our wounds and start to attract healthier relationships.We feel energized, whole and happier.We believe this change is permanent. However, oftentimes during periods of loneliness, trauma or loss, the old patterns crop up.Self love goes out of the window.Neediness, clinging, jealousy, rage, avoidance, emotional dishonesty , witholding love,codependence raise their ugly head.Negative emotions buried deep within raise their ugly head. We relapse into ol...
