Are you plagued with feeling like you’re not good enough? Do you have a hard time forgiving yourself for past wrongs? Healing shame is the key to moving forward with your life. Can you get over the degradation that you are feeling right now? When it seems you are not good enough or not worthy enough of love, stop and take a moment to reflect.

What Are You Ashamed Of?

How to get rid of guilt -- you ask yourself this question again and again. What are the negative parts of your being that make you feel bad about yourself? When you feel unworthy, it becomes harder to build successful relationships with others because you avoid connecting with them. 

Perhaps your shame comes from your finances. How often do you feel like you are financially insecure? When it often feels like you have less, you know that the feeling is born out of your comparison of other people’s lives to yours. You feel like you have less because you see that others have more. But do they really have...

When you’re supposed to be working, do you find your mind wandering? Is it hard to stay focused on your tasks? You know that for you to accomplish things, you need to stay focused. But the more that your mind wanders around, the more likely are you to get stuck doing the same thing for a long time. 

Focus on work or school work can make you more productive. This means you can accomplish more tasks. However, the opposite is true, as well. The more distracted you are, the less likely it is for you to become productive. You may be used to multitasking, but it can be counterproductive in the long run.

In this modern world, where everything can be a form of distraction, it has become quite impossible to just focus on one thing. And then there is a constant demand to complete a number of tasks in a day, each one trying to pull your attention in several different directions. Is it still possible for you to be as productive as you want to be?

The world has become smaller in this age of technology. The internet has allowed people from across the globe to stay in contact with each other. The advent of technology has made it possible for people to build interactive relationships with more advanced interfaces. 

What was once simply living has turned into something a little bit more complicated. People now have online and offline lives. We rely on various social media platforms for work and even more so for personal socialization. Actual face-to-face interaction has been minimized compared to people’s virtual presence. 

It is undeniably true how much apps and online technology has made people’s lives easier. What used to take months to process now only takes minutes or seconds to complete. While it comes with many benefits, technology has also taken away the joy that comes with direct interaction. Team productivity through community interaction has lessened. People are more apt to work...

We all have 24 hours per day. But why does it seem as if other people can accomplish more in those same hours than you? Can they control time?

Other people do not have the power to slow down time. What they do have is time management strategies. 

You can become a master of your own time too. Take a look at the tips below to get started and change your life!

Evaluate your current time management strategies

The first thing that you have to do in order to develop an effective time management routine is to audit that time you have. You must make yourself aware of how you spend your time so you can understand where you're wasting it. 

You might think you're only spending ten minutes a day checking your emails, but when you look closer, you will realize that you are spending more time than you should. There are several software programs you can use to keep track of your time. With this information in hand, it will be much easier to make the...

What's the only thing stopping you from reaching your goals? More than likely, it's you. The limitations you put on yourself are the only things standing in your way. When you know your limits, and guard them without wanting to push them, you stay safe. 

But then again, there is no growth when you don't push yourself to the limits. You remain where you are. You feel protected in your comfort zone, but you don't progress. 

Whenever you feel curious about something, and you want to learn, things become harder to achieve. Whether it is fear, doubt, or a physical condition that keeps you from getting what you want, it can present itself as a barrier to exploring what else you can be. 

Unfortunately, not everyone has a chance to work past their limitations. Whenever things become uncertain, they feel threatened and simply give up. You have to ask yourself, "How far are am I willing to go to reach my goals?" 

It really depends on how well you handle the situation....

What does it mean to have a fear of being left out? Do you feel bad when you can't say "yes" to opportunities that come your way, even if you're already stretched thin? It can be depressing. 

But the truth is that saying "no" to opportunities that come your way is not as bad as you think. What is actually wrong is when you say "yes" to too many things, and you end up overloaded. 

When you are doing too many things at the same time just because you want to prove that you can do it all, that's when it becomes a problem. Even when you're doing too much, the fear of not doing enough eats at you. This is the fear of missing out, or FOMO.

Why Do You Feel Like You're Missing Out?

You may be asking yourself, "Why does it feel like there is something missing in my life?" Too much exposure to social media has got you thinking about what others have. It has forced you to compare your life to the life of those around you. 

When you learned that a good friend...

Do you feel like you’re too busy with work, but your life and career aren’t moving forward? Does it feel like everything that you do is just a way to pass the time? Does it feel like you’ve been working for things that don’t really matter?

You’re great at completing tasks and getting things done. In fact, you take your job seriously. That’s why you hate it when work piles up. You may even have a task tracker that helps you complete every assignment before they are due. And yet, at the end of each workday, you think, “Was there something you could have done better?”

Your work ethic is not a problem. Rather, the problem is finding meaning in the things that you do. When you think that your job or everyday responsibilities are meaningless, then doing them and accomplishing them won’t give you a sense of fulfillment. 

Many people believe that having a fulfilling job is a luxury reserved for the very lucky or very wealthy. This...

Do you struggle with holding grudges? Are you still hung up on a relationship that ended several years ago? We all have certain things or emotions that we have to let go of. Whether it is unrequited love, desire, anger, or yearning for something or someone, all of these make it challenging to move on from the things that are not meant to be. 

Is it possible to let go of everything? It is possible, but the longer you hold on to negative emotions, the more they will hurt. Letting go is in itself an art form. It can be empowering, but only when you have truly given up what's not meant for you. Moving on is critical to achieving more success and opening yourself to love in the future.

The Art Of Letting Go

How do you get over something? How do you tell yourself, "I need to move on in order to have a better life"? Unless you teach yourself the art of letting go, you will always find yourself disappointed, stressed, or in deep pain. You may scare away potential romantic relationships...
