Categories: relationships, self improvement

My fiance, with one eyebrow lifted, looked at me tenderly and said, “Perhaps because you aren’t really giving?” Read the Rest of This Article »

Written by Suzanne Jones - 19 Comments
Categories: psychology, self improvement

By asking yourself this question will allow the freedoms of your mind to speak it’s truth. No running or wearing a mask or acting. We all know who we aren’t. We aren’t the President of the United States or the Prime Minister of Canada. YET.

What is it that you tell yourself you could never do? Why don’t you trust yourself to do the things you used to daydream about? What is inside of you screaming to come out but the thought of it creates unspeakable amounts of stress for you? Read the Rest of This Article »

Categories: psychology, self improvement
