Life And Dating

  Rejection is an inevitable part of life, but how we respond to it can define our personal and professional growth. Whether it’s a job application, a relationship, or a creative project, experiencing rejection can be disheartening. However, learning to handle rejection with grace and confidence can turn these challenges into valuable opportunities for self-improvement and resilience. Here’s how to navigate rejection and move forward with confidence: 1. Acknowledge Your Feelings Rejection can stir a mix of emotions—disappointment, frustration, or even self-doubt. It’s crucial to acknowledge and process these feelings rather than suppress them. Allow yourself to feel, but avoid letting these emotions dictate your next steps. Taking a moment to reflect can help you gain perspective and clarity. 2. Reframe the Rejection Instead of viewing rejection as a personal failure, reframe it as a stepping stone toward growth. Consider it a learning experience. Ask yourself what you can improve or w

  In the realm of relationships, communication and understanding are crucial. One concept that has gained considerable traction in recent years is the idea of "love languages." Popularized by Dr. Gary Chapman in his book The Five Love Languages , this theory suggests that people express and receive love in different ways. Understanding these love languages can significantly impact how we connect with our partners, friends, and family. What Are Love Languages? According to Chapman, there are five primary love languages: Words of Affirmation: This language focuses on verbal expressions of love and appreciation. Compliments, affirmations, and words of encouragement resonate deeply with individuals who prioritize this love language. Acts of Service: For those who value acts of service, actions speak louder than words. This could involve anything from doing household chores to running errands, showing love through practical help.

In today’s fast-paced world, managing a successful career and a fulfilling relationship can be a challenge. Balancing work and dating requires thoughtful planning and communication. Here are some strategies to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance while dating: 1. Set Clear Boundaries Establish boundaries between work and personal time. Designate specific hours for work and make sure to allocate dedicated time for your relationship. Inform your partner about your work schedule and avoid checking work emails or taking calls during your personal time unless absolutely necessary. 2. Prioritize Quality Time Focus on the quality of time spent together rather than the quantity. Plan meaningful activities and engage in conversations that strengthen your connection. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a cozy dinner at home, ensure that the time you spend with your partner is fulfilling and enjoyable. 3. Communicate Openly Open communication is key. Discuss your work commitments and any p

  I didn't know what to feel when you shared a photo of your fiancee wearing her engagement ring. And then my heart starts to hurt and tears fall down my eyes. I ask myself, where do I go from here? What do I do now? Will I ever get married? Was my instinct wrong all along? I thought you and I were endgame. All these while, I silently waited. Who will I love now? Who will get me as you do? who loves the same music as I do and looks at me the way you do? Am I hallucinating? Was it all I'm my head? Was I wrong about you all these while? She is cute. Is she all you ever wanted? Oh, it hurts! It hurts, I can't sleep. Tears won't stop falling down my eyes.  I feel like a part of me died. What is the point of hustling anymore? What is the point of being a better version of myself?  Why am I trying so hard? Who can I love again? Who can I love? God I need your comfort, I don't know how I will get through this. I don't know how to live again. I am going through

Hello everyone, Incase I have not said happy New Year in advance. Happy New year!!! Ugh, a lot of things happened to me this year 2022; I lost my younger brother in January , quit my job in May and quit the new one in October. I met some cool people and lost some. I went through an emotional roller coaster and my blood pressure got really high. There is a lot to unpack here but I really don’t feel like writing about it. Yes that is another thing; I have not been feeling like writing anything since I started staying at home again. I don’t feel like seeing people or going out. Been thinking of how to make money without having to go to work six days a week every single morning, facing Lagos traffic and all the crazies that come with 9 to 5. I feel hung-over typing this - tried to write articles every day but that didn’t work out, keep questioning myself if I am a good writer and why is it taking me this long to write something.   Two days ago, I was really upset and just irritated. You kn

The indicators of a poisonous relationship are typically the same, whether it's with a partner, friend, or family member: your views and opinions are not valued, you're the only one ready to compromise or put in work to improve the connection, and you continuously feel like you're walking on eggshells. It may have a significant impact on your mental health and well-being, as I just discovered firsthand. My toxic connection, however, was not with a love partner or a friend; it was with my job.   The term "toxic jobs" refers to unfavourable work settings that put a burden on employees' mental health. These environments often feature abusive managers, discriminatory or harassing conduct, heavy office politics, and a climate of gossip or rivalry.   And these settings are more frequent than you would think: according to a 2020 Emtrain poll, 41% of employees do not believe their company would take a harassment report seriously, and 29% had left a job due to workplac

Don't we all want to better our lives? Of course, we do. Even though sometimes we feel like crap and don't want to do anything about it or even try, because what is the point. After all, we will all end up six feet, right? Hmm, but the truth is, as long as we are in this world, we just want to be happy and live a fulfilled life where everything works and where we are loved by all -most importantly the ones that are really close to us. I'll tell you this; our lives can't be hundred per cent but they could be close. And yes though we can't always feel accomplished but we can at least try. Here are a few ways (50 awesome ways actually) to make your life better.
