weekend life coach

Hi my lovelies!

Welcome to my blog or, welcome back to my blog.

Today I decided to share something inspiring with you.

I'm not one to read many books and if I'm to be perfectly honest, I like books more for their smell (please tell me I'm not the only one that enjoys the smell of brand-new books?!) than their contents. That being said, once every now and then I will find an exception to the rule and come across a book that I truly love and I think is inspiring.

Today I'd like to tell you about 'Weekend life coach' written by Lynda Field.

I'm not sure why this book got my attention but I'm glad it did and I consider it the best self-development book I ever read (OKAY, FINE; I never read one before but I can't imagine how any book could be more inspirational 😃).

I gave myself a goal; I promised myself to read at least 10 pages per day, during my commute to work. Finally, I can proudly say that I finished it and that it survived numerous water spillages in my bag in the process.

'Weekend life coach' is a mixture of humor, inspiration, motivation and mindfulness. It is filled with meaningful quotes, backed up with real life stories of the author's clients (Lynda Field is a psychotherapist). It is full of practical advice and mind-exercises that can be done anywhere. It simply contains guidelines on how to be happy.

The book is easy to read and everyone can certainly relate to the stories in it. What's more, it covers absolutely every aspect of self-development. It gave me an extra dose of positive energy on the good days and a kick of motivation on the bad days. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone.

Why seeking validation from others will only harm your self worth & how to stop

We all have insecurities and we all look for validation from others whether we'd like to admit it or not. It often starts in our early life when we feel the need to fulfil the expectations imposed on us by our parents. Later, it escalates into seeking approval of our physical appearance and behaviour by our peers and partners and eventually, the need to appeal to our colleagues & superiors at work might also come into play. This search for validation becomes addictive and we quickly develop a need for more. But what's really scary about this is the fact that we're letting other people take control over how we feel about ourselves by allowing them to define whether we are attractive enough or smart enough. This is beyond wrong, I mean, how can we value the opinion of others above our own?! Moreover, constantly seeking validation makes receiving disapproval a very painful experience and stops us from moving forward and aiming for our goals. Ultimate

Challenges of growing up in 2019

I want to start off this blog post by showing my appreciation for the fact that I spent the first 10 years of my life not knowing what the internet was or who the Kardashians were. And even when the internet officially became a thing, and my parents bought their first ever computer, I wasn’t that interested in it and I much preferred spending my afternoons playing with my toys or visiting friends that lived nearby. I was about 11 or 12 when Facebook reached its peak in popularity among teenagers. I must’ve been about 12 when a friend convinced me to register on Facebook. I remember spending the next couple of years fascinated by it and logged in every day, mostly to chat with friends but also to post tonnes of silly status updates (that haunt me to this very day thanks to that '‘you have memories to look back to'’ notification I receive so regularly) and lots of pictures. Back then, every social outing had to be celebrated with a photo/video or an entire gallery of such

Does empathy lead to depression?

Hi guys, Here comes another serious post! Empathy is a feeling very close to my heart. I'd like to talk about it & the impact it had on my life for quite some time. If you’re triggered by topics like mental illness, please don’t read this post. My intention is to talk about my own experiences and thoughts, and how I overcame a dark time in my life. It's definitely not my intention to make anyone upset. I realised I'm an empath once I learned what the word meant. And for anyone out there who isn't familiar with the term, below is a short definition: I'm not sure if empathy is synonymous with sensitivity but I did notice that people who are led by feelings are easily affected by other people's sadness and pain and often feel for them. It’s not wrong to be an empath, but it does become a problem when you lose control over this tendency and let it have a negative impact on your life. Suddenly, it becomes impossible to be grateful
