Can one really cope with Disappointment? Here's how I do it.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Mon, 21 Sep 2020 18:30:00 +0000

Disappointment is one thing I know that comes to us all, it's a very tricky emotion to deal with because every day can bring about new situations to be disappointed over,

sometimes, it can be small and annoying while other times it can be life-changing, and one way or the other we all have to deal with that sad, depressing, and discouraging emotion.

Disappointment is something we cannot really avoid in our life and the effect it has on people varies.

When I feel disappointed about a particular situation in life the questions that always pop in my head are;

Can one really get over the feeling of disappointment?

And what can one really learn from it?

People normally say "when you feel disappointed about a particular situation just shake off the all emotions and look at the bright side of life".

*they really know how to make it sound so easy but it's not*

Well I'm not really a complete expert in dealing with disappointment but personally, I had to teach myself some simple and fun ways to cope and even bounce back quickly from the disappointments that are a part of everyday life, and here are my simple steps.

Step 1: Eat something different.

Disappointment has a sneaky way of creeping into all aspects of one's life, so I discovered personally the moment I start getting the feeling of disappointment the urge to eat something different is always high and that's why it's my number one remedy to get over the emotion,

Don't get me wrong, I don't bury myself in food but when the feeling comes I just have this craving *dont know why* for something a little bit different from what I normally take, and if I dont have it at that moment I really dont mind going out to get it.

Step 2: Movie time.

Having a fun movie time alone or with friends is my second most interesting remedy to get over that life-sucking emotion. Movies always have a way of making me feel good and relaxed.

I basically have movie genres for each emotion like when I'm disappointed I go for the comedy movies because after watching it there is always this sense of feeling that I shouldn't take everything in life serious and I shouldn't beat myself up on what happened just learn for it and move on.

Step 3: Take a stroll.

Having a fresh dose of oxygen running through my lungs is yet another way I deal with disappointment, so what I normally do it takes a long stroll and try my very best to have a clear mind and just focus on my breathing.

I bet we all probably must have heard this before but it's true it's worked for me and it can work for anyone.

Step 4: Pour out my feelings on someone.

I really like this step because after it I tend to feel free. Having a person in your life that you can pour out your emotions to, that listen to you, and simply acts as a personal therapist is truly amazing.

Most times all they have to do is listen.

Step 5: Encourage myself.

This is then my final and hardest step. Encouraging myself is never easy but it's something I just have to do. *Before getting to this stage I have to do my first four-step because this final stage is not easy for me*

I have this written down in my journal so anytime I feel disappointed I just pick it up and read it

*if you don't have it then it wasn't yours in the first place what is yours will always come ,so shake off the feeling and never give up*.

So now you have seen my fun and simple ways of coping with disappointment, what's yours?

Brutal truths about life that's worth thinking about.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 21:36:00 +0000

It is so easy to lose the big picture about life, sometimes people even ignore or are too scared to admit that life is filled with so many brutal truths and if you sit down to think about it even for a minute you will realize these truths can really help anyone to get their sh*t together and even make the most out of their lives as long as you have it.

These brutal truths are definitely a hard pill to swallow *won't lie to you guys* but it's something that everyone would have to face at one point in their lives.

Recently I've been thinking about them, some are a bit depressing but they have really helped me to see life from a whole new perspective. They are really something worth thinking about.

Brutal truths about life that's worth thinking about.

You can't please everyone.

Not everyone will be happy with the decision you make in life. You just can't please everyone and thinking you can is only a fantasy.

Every single person in your life has their own opinion on how you should run your life. It's so mentally exhausting.

If you want to achieve anything in life just forget about the need to please others and do what's best for you.

Perfection is only an illusion.

The moment you realize that perfection is generally unachievable then you'll start living your life.

Perfection is an illusion and a waste of time you don't need to get old and realize you wasted your life pointing at every flaw you saw in the mirror.

Now is all that matters.

Don’t live for the future or resent the past. It will do you no good.

You might not exist tomorrow so try to live in the moment, cherish your present moment it's all you have now.

Don’t put off what you can do today until tomorrow. You might not get the chance.

Not everyone cares how hard your life is.

Guess what? Life is hard for everyone, not just you *It’s never supposed to be easy*. And believe me, not everyone in your life cares how hard your life is so going around complaining how hard it is won't help you or anyone change it for the better.

Dreams are useless until you make them a reality.

You can have all the great dreams in the world, but if you don’t act on them, they are just useless.

Dreams do not become a reality because we don’t do anything to make them come true. Without action dreams slowly dies.

Dreams are fine, but it really means nothing without execution.

Time is your most precious Jewel. *Stop wasting it*

Time is everyone's most precious Jewel it can't be bought.

Do the best you can with what you have, just use it wisely because you can't earn back time.

Life is too short.

The truth is, we’ll all die one day. No-one is invincible. Make the best of your lives *while you still have it* and Stop wishing away your days and start enjoying it.

You only get to live once so make it count.

It's pathetic if you are not the source of your own happiness.

Happiness for me is a personal choice you don't need anyone or anything to make you feel happy.

Make the decision to be the source of your own happiness you will be surprised how different your life will turn out.

Everyone you know is going to die.

Everyone you know in your life one-day is going to die. No one lives forever right?.

That's why it's always important to let the people that matter to you that they matter because one day all anyone will be left with are the memories of their loved ones

These truths are a brilliant way for anyone to stay focus on what's really matters in life.

5 Things to remember when handling a really bad day.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 07:55:00 +0000

There are bad days and there are really really bad days and honestly, we can't really do anything to change that fact because that's life.

Life is full of the good days, bad days, overwhelming days, too tired day, and the really shitty days and the only thing one can actually do is to live through each day, but someday are really not that easy.

One has to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of their lives.

It is literally impossible to avoid a bad day everyone experiences a bad day from time to time, it's inevitable

Sometimes those days can seem like the end of the world, you might even feel like you don't have the strength to go through another second of that day and start questioning your very own existence, I get it those days can really drain every hint of happiness you have and the hard part is, it's still up to us to pull ourselves up and handle that very shitty day.

Handling a shitty day is not easy but there are things one needs to remember when going through a very bad day that can actually help.

Life is not perfect.

life is never going to turn out exactly the way we planned and always dwelling on that perfect assumption of what you think life should be is not healthy.

Personally, I see life as a beautiful journey with the perfect combo mix of the good and bad memories so one needs to realize that every day is not going to be amazing, and every day is not going to be shitty.

When you are going through a bad day just tell yourself every day may not be good but there is something good in every day and I'm going to focus on the good.

if you expect life to be perfect and to go exactly the way you planned you will only end up with a lot of disappointment so just live your life and love your life.

Without the bad days, you wouldn't appreciate the good days.

So you have a bad day *everybody does* but don't let it spiral you into a mindset of gloom because one good thing about those shitty days is that it makes one appreciate the good days.

Never regret a day in your life because the good days bring happiness, the bad days give experiences the worst days give lessons and the best days give memories.

Good things take time.*BE PATIENT*

Success and good things don't come overnight and all we can do is just to exercise a little more patience in life.

It's not easy to be patient but knows that anything worth doing requires time.

when frustration kicks in just remind yourself that what is meant to be will always come, always.

Bad days brings lessons

Worrying or even complaining of how terrible your life turned out is not a healthy way to live and it will prevent anyone from enjoying their lives.

I'm not saying that you should love the bad days just look at them as a way of life trying to teach you something

Learn from every struggle you face you will be surprised on how you will be able to handle that situation again if it arises in the future

Sometimes it's ok to CRY.

Johnny Depp said

People cry not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long.

And sweetie, that's true.

Don’t be afraid of crying. It isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather, an acceptable way to let go of all your bad feelings. If you let those bad feelings build up without releasing them, you’ll have a much harder time dealing with them later.

Sometimes one just needs a long ugly cry to feel better, don't hold it because even the clouds rain too when it gets heavy.

Sometimes when you are going through a really f**king shitty day just breathe, tell yourself it's just a bad day and not a bad life and it's ok if all I did today was to survive this really f**king shitty day.

Things that scare friends away.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:05:00 +0000

"Sometimes you meet a person and you just click and you are comfortable with them like you know them your whole life and you don't have to pretend to be anyone or anything around them" For me, that's true friendship.

Friendship is a very important relationship in life it's basically the foundation of every relationship in your life so it's important we value it because without friends, life would be dull and to some extent meaningless.

You guys might thinking having a true friend is kind of hard to find and even more harder to keep, you would have to invest time and effort in doing that but believe me once you find that special friend you get to discover some cool benefits in have a BFF, like

When you are feeling lonely and depressed they always know how to make you feel better.

They are the best support during bad times.

They are the best people to confined in.

The time you spend with them is indeed lots of fun.

Sometimes being with your friend is all the therapy we need.

Personally, I feel friends are really important in life but most people don't understand the power of such a wonderful relationship and sometimes exhibit some bad behavior *some might be aware while others might not* that often scare or even destroy beautiful friendship.

So wondering why it's sometimes hard in keeping a quality friendship here are common behaviors that scare people away and make it difficult to keep a wonderful friendship.

Things that scare friends away.

Acting arrogant.

Arrogance is such an unpleasant behavior and people who have this behavior pattern tend to feel they are better than others and deserve to be treated better and believe me, no one likes to be around someone with this egocentric behavior

Its something I like to refer to as people repellent so try to be more humble, is admirable.

Being jealous.

Jealousy has a negative impact on the person who is the target of the “green-eyed monster” and people tend to find this behavior kind of irritating.

Imagine being around someone who constantly compares themselves with others and spends their time talking about what other people have instead of working on getting what they want is indeed energy-draining no one wants a friend like that.

Being grateful for who you are and what you have is a better quality to exhibit.

Blaming others.

Blaming others is a way of putting people down so naturally is a great way to push any friend away and even create an environment where there is no trust.

people who are so quick to point fingers and play the blame game are not fans of accountability, so they choose not to be responsible for the outcome of any situation they are in.

Blaming others obviously have it's effective because people don't like to be around someone who loves the blame game, so one has to be accountable for any mistakes whether big or small, even though it can be scary.

Always thinking of the negatives.

People who are always thinking of the negative tend to drag other people's energy down by trying to convince them that nothing good is possible and that all ideas and dreams are only delusions and this behavior really breaks friendship.

That's why is very helpful to focus on the positive side of things and live happily and even allow your happiness to rub up on your friends everyone loves a cheerful friend.

Gossiping others.

Talking about others behind their backs is not healthy and is yet another hindrance in building a meaningful friendship and even keeping one.

People basically don't like to be around someone who loves analyzing others it kind of makes them feel you will do the same to them when they not around and it will definitely make it difficult for them to share any of their personal issues with you because they probably think it will become a topic of gossip among others.

So instead of talking about other people's life, discuss events and ideas, and that way, useful information will be gained.

Lack of empathy and compassion.

Everyone has the desire to be understood so considering others' emotions is a wonderful quality to have as a friend.

It's good to be concerned about others just try to put yourself in the situation they are in, it can really help you to relate more to what others are going through.

Having compassion for others not only helps us to understand them, but it also helps us to understand ourselves.

It gives us a sense of being human and helps us understand that we all need people who are compassionate around us.

Friendship is definitely a beautiful relationship that everyone should experience so try not to push people away because friends are people who make you smile brighter, laugh louder, and live better.

If you can turn back time, What advice will you give your younger self?.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 22:40:00 +0000

Have you ever gone through series of difficult and frustrating situations in life and you just wish you could just turn back time to give your younger self a piece of advice that will prevent the whole thing from ever happening? Well, that thought has crossed my mind.

What will you really do if you can travel back in time?

Maybe you would give your younger self some few tips on how to make money, dress properly, or even attract the opposite sex.

Well for me, if I can travel back in time and have only the chance to do one thing, I would just give myself a few words of advice because looking back to my younger years, I am really surprised at how my life has turned out. Not everything happened exactly the way I originally planned it but am grateful to have experienced some of the situations because it made me who I am as a person. I got myself involved in a lot of things I would have never thought of.

Nonetheless, I have summed up what I have learned some of these lessons helped in developing my new perspectives in life.

But if I could go back in time and hang out with my younger self for a day, here's what I will tell her.

It's OK to be unsure about what you wanna do in life.

You might be graduating and you might feel a bit lost and not sure where to go, It's okay just Go out there and try as many different things as you can. Don't ever feel like you're wasting your time. The process that you'll be going through will shape you into who you will be and you will definitely find your purpose in life. Enjoy the journey, don't rush every little path you have to go through will lead you somewhere. And looking back, you will be able to connect the dots. It will all make sense eventually.

Don't feel like you will never find the right person.

I know right now it feels like it's hard to make new friends but don't worry too much about it, just be yourself and be as open as you can.

The right person you are compatible with will find their way to you. They will instantly be attracted to you as much as you are attracted to them.

It might take a while until you find those people like new best friends or that special someone but you will and when you do, you will know it. So, just do your thing and always be yourself.

Always trust your instincts.

You need to always trust your instincts and stop worrying too much about a decision you have made. Do what you really believe would make you most happy. *You know what you want*. consulting other people is not bad but always trust the gut feeling deep inside you and just do what makes you happy. Always follow your heart always If something doesn't feel right or you have doubts about it, even just for a little bit, then it's probably not right.

Everything in life happens for a reason.

Everything in life happens for a reason and you need to understand that fact.

Without mistakes and failure, you would have never learned. Without breakups, you would have never met someone new. Without pain, you would have never grown.

Once you understand this like really understand this you will know that everything comes in to serve a purpose in your life. So don't dwell on disappointments, don't think life is unfair and don't view unfortunate events as regrets but rather, see them as opportunities in disguise because everything I'm life happens for a reason. And only time will tell.

Believe in your abilities.

When you believe in yourself, you've got nothing to lose but everything to gain. If you fail, you'll become smarter, If you succeed, you'll gain even more self-confidence. You'll never know the limit of how much you can achieve until you take a leap of faith in yourself and try. Just keep your focus right, Invest in yourself, and see life as a progressive journey and you'll most certainly always achieve anything you set your mind to.

So if you can turn back time, what advice will you give your younger self?

10 Things I can't live without. What's yours?

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 12:05:00 +0000

10 things I can't live without? now, this is an interesting and fun topic.

Everyone has those things in their lives that they can't just live without or value in order to enjoy life not referring to your family and friends but actual things that you just love and without them, everything feels kind of dull.

I as well as every other blood breathing human have 10 things I just can't live without and am going to share it with you guys. It might be a fun way to get to know me so let's dive in.

My Cellphone.

I'll just come out and state the obvious I'm a phone addict, I simply can't go anywhere without it *it's a most accessory* and I bet most of us can relate. it's probably not a good thing but I can't help it because being connected to the world especially with the people I love and care about is super fun and I can't live without it.

Music.

For me, music gives my mind wings to fly into that perfect set of images where everything seems incredible and on the plus side, it makes me feel relaxed, motivated, stimulates some old memories, and clears out all the craps from my head. I listen to music every day It's so cool. Music is something I definitely can't live without.

Movies and Tv series.

As I said in one of my previous posts am a movie lover, I basically just love them all, as long I can watch them on my phone, tv then is in love. My favorite of all the movie genres is the romantic comedy and the musical animation *I always end up feeling happy after watching them*. A couple of my recent favorite movies are Trolls world tour and Valley girls. Then my absolute favorite tv series of all time is Friends and charmed you can check it out.

Food and water (basic needs).

Food and water are definitely the most important thing that everyone can't live without and am not excluded. I guess I will classify myself as a bit of a sweet tooth because I prefer more of the French fries, pizza, burgers, Chicken, and every other yummy delicacy to actual food. And of course, no one *not even me* can live without having that refreshing cool liquid running down your throat *I bet we all love that feeling* and besides water has a lot of health benefits so I can't live without its refreshing taste.

Running Water.

Having that feeling of clean cool water running down on my skin especially on a hot and stressful day it's definitely something I can't live without and it's something am grateful I have.

Writing.

For me, writing is the best way to really express how I feel and another amazing way to get all my crazy imagination out of my head.

I've always had a unique imagination since when I was a kid and I loved *still do* writing all my creative insights on a piece of paper.

The favorite part of my day is when I write down new exciting things.

Moisturizing.

Having that soft smooth skin is a definite priority of mine that's why moisturizing my skin is a healthy way to keep my skin glowing and beautiful. Nothing feels as comforting as applying lotion to my skin.

Chocolate.

As I mentioned earlier am a little bit of a sweet tooth but my absolute favorite of all my yummy treats is chocolate and that's why I had to single it out as one of the things I can't live without. For me having the warm dripping delicious melting taste in my tongue can really make my day. Like who doesn't like chocolate * it's definitely my weakness*. I Am trying to cut back because am spending too much money consuming this treat and I feel like I have gained some weight.

Reading.

Personally, I see reading as a mental exercise and yet another amazing way to help with my creative thinking, it keeps my mind active and it's simply a timeless fun of entertainment. I normally think of books as a gateway to all kinds of information and cool stories.

My sunglasses.

I don't know why but I can't live without my sunglasses. I have super sensitive eyes for some reason, and I need it anytime I step out of my house.

So What are the 10 you can't live without?

Let's talk about LONELINESS.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 14:00:00 +0000

Loneliness is like an uninvited guest that comes to your house, grabs all the delicious goodies from your plate leaving you feeling unsatisfied and craving for the tiniest crumbs left.

Feeling lonely is not necessarily a cause for alarm but if it keeps on recurring it can really take a toll on all aspects of your life. *sad but true* and you need to know that this feeling comes to us all, it just varies drastically for everyone.

For instance, a lonely teen who is struggling to make friends in school has different needs to a lonely adult who lost a loved one.

Loneliness *for me* is more of a sense of isolation and a feeling of something missing in your life. You can literally be in a room full of people and still feel alone.

*Personally, I can relate to this overwhelming feeling*

Here are some common symptoms of loneliness, that's if you are wondering if you got the LONELINESS SYNDROME.

feeling worthless and emotionally drained.
Not having that best friend.
Feeling alienated.
Feeling no one really get you.
Feeling socially isolated even when you are not alone.
Inability to connect to someone on a deep intimate level.

Hate to break it to you but if you are experiencing just two symptoms out of this list, YOU DEFINITELY HAVE IT but not to panic because loneliness, as well as other emotions *like depression*, can be dealt with.

Yes, you can combat this overwhelming joy-sucking emotion and get to have a more enjoyable and happy state of mind just follow these simple yet practical steps.

Have more outdoor time.

Getting out of your house and into the stress-relieving outdoor world is an excellent idea to overcome loneliness.

It's an easy way to get rid of all those negative images in your head and the plus side you will be receiving some good boost of fresh air *which is one of the most basic and yet essential lifelines of good health*

Less social media and technology time.

Social media and technology can be fun and addictive but it's also time-consuming and yeah it has it's good side because with it you can connect and even form new relationship all over the world but on the downside, you will spend a lot less time connecting with people in a person, being creative, practicing new habits and getting more outdoor time.

And to top it all social media can increase depression, anxiety, and even loneliness in young people because most times all they thinking about is increasing their likes and followers on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.

Reducing Your social media and technology time can actually be a positive impact on your life and helps with the feeling of loneliness.

Focus on developing quality relationships.

Isolation is only helpful when it promotes a feeling of solitude rather than loneliness.

It's important and also necessary you focus on developing quality relationships with people who support you so when the feeling comes you will find it easy to pour out your feelings to someone you trust.

Having a good quality relationship is an amazing way to feel more loved and less alone.

Adopt a pet.

For some people, that furry four-legged friend really help them to feel less alone *pets tend to have this unconditionally love and affection for their owner*

They may not provide the same connection as humans but they are certainly the best companion to have and on the plus side having a pet can be a good conversation starter if you are thinking of having a new friend.

These steps may not be easy for some people but having a personal motivation to combat loneliness can really give you a fighting chance.

Now let's talk about supporting a friend who is lonely.

As I said earlier loneliness is a powerful emotion that can affect basically everyone some people can find it easy to just shake off the emotion but it might be a little difficult for others.

Most times people who are lonely don't like talking about how they feel.

One need to be emphatic and supportive to a lonely friend because you may not be aware of what kind of personal life issues they are struggling with, they may not have that family support you do so it's important to help them in any way you can.

Honestly, you need to be careful with the words you say around them because your words can either help them to feel better or worse.

Just avoid using words like:

Why are you always quite, have you forgotten how to use your mouth?
I never get lonely in my life, am too busy.
Would love to have some quite time, like you.

It might be hilarious to you but this statement makes you sound smug and uncaring

not telling what to say but try to sound more understanding and caring

So if you are thinking about what you can actually do to help them try

calling to check up on them occasionally.
Helping them in making a connection by introducing them to your other friends.
Inviting them over to your family event.

Just try not to judge or criticize anyone who admits they are lonely, most people don't have the courage to speak out and suffer silently so try to help them in any way you can.

What are those changes you would love to make in your life? Let me tell you mine.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 11:04:00 +0000

Have you ever thought about that those habits in your life that you would love to change or those things that make life feel pretty much unenjoyable, well I have?

I bet we all know by now that life is full of the good and bad combo mix that just makes it amazing but they are still certain things that are done out of habit that kind of deprives us of enjoying our life and we all need to make that changes. As for me, I want to live my life to it's fullest, enjoying every moment of it because I realized that this life I'm living is just a one time opportunity and I won't get the chance to live it twice *even if I love to*. Enjoying my life every day is a major priority for me.

But let's go back to those habits we do.

You may or may not be aware of it but those habits just make life boring, unenjoyable, and frustrating to the point you can even start regretting the fact that you are alive. And that's sad.

I like to refer to those habits as a life-sucking monster because they just sap the joy and happiness from your life and if living a happy fun-filled life is on your to-do list then you'll have to change some certain habits in your life.

Yeah I know you might be thinking "change is not all that easy", I completely get it but as I usually tell people if you wanna make life-changing habits you don't need to think about the big steps just focus on taking the simple small steps like appreciate those little things you take for granted, being more grateful for what you have or even just having a smiley face that can lights up a room.

So what can I change from my life? Personally, I gave this question a lot of thought and realized that I too had some unhealthy habits in my life * like who doesn't* and not to sound too dramatic but working on them definitely added a little more sparkle in my life. I'm going to share them with you guys and hopefully, you can be encouraged to make those changes too.

My idea of beauty.

For me, I see beauty as an illusion that is made up in our minds, and most time we struggle to work on or even change that part of us we consider a flaw *but honestly, that's not healthy*.

Changing my idea of beauty really did wonders in my life, it helped in boosting my confidence, appreciating and loving all of me * I even start crushing on my reflection on the mirror*

So instead of trying to change those long arms, fat face, skin complexion, big body and all your supposed imperfections that you think you want to get rid of in order to feel pretty change the idea of beauty that you have build up in your mind because all those flaws are actually unique qualities that makes you special. *Probably this is not the first time you have heard this but it's true*.

Being unsatisfied in my life(not being grateful).

I've not really considered the good things in life, I basically squander my time thinking on that thing I thought I needed and if I don't get them, frustration and depression starts to kick in *and that wasn't healthy*

Being grateful is an amazing self-filling emotion we all need to have.

Even if life hasn't turned out exactly the way I've planned but I know for sure life has given me so many things for me to be grateful for and I believe it has for you It might be your family, your kid, your job, the ability to walk or even your perfect set of teeth whatever it is its best to appreciate them and be grateful for what you have and stop beating yourself for things you don't have.

Doing this helped me to see my life in a whole new way and most importantly it taught me to love and appreciate my life.

*Being grateful is really a life-changing habit*.

Stop blaming myself for things I can't change.

This habit was something I really needed to work on in my life because I was just pulling myself down into serious depression.

When we were all young we definitely had this perfect dream of how we want our life to turn out * I know I did* but getting older reality sets in and you realized life is full of disappointing, unplanned situation that you just can't change, and all we can do is to accept that fact and change our outlook on life. *Everything in life is not rosy*.

Beating or blaming myself about things I can't change in my life was only making it difficult for me to enjoy your life so I had to stop and just trust that in the end, everything will definitely work out for me.

Living in fear.

For me fear is only an obstacle that stands in the way of me enjoying my life, it's simply a product of thoughts I created in my mind. *fear doesn't exist anywhere except in your mind*

Fear is not something you can just magically wish could just disappear, it's something you have to face and a feeling you have to conquer and if you don't you will only get stuck in it and it will prevent you from living the life you were meant to live. *believe me you deserve so much out of life*.

My life was full of fear I was afraid of literally everything. One of my greatest fear was voicing out my thoughts and opinions, I've always felt if I did I will end up being criticized or mocked by other so keeping my mouth shut was the best option for me * I had a very shy personality* and that wasn't healthy.

I had to face my fears and believe me once I did I was able to take back my own power of self-confidence and it made it easier for me to choose to live my life exactly the way I want to.

So if you have something you want to do but feel afraid it's might not be easy at first but start little by taking baby steps toward your plan and do it afraid *that's just an easy way to conquer that feeling*.

My Impatient personality.

Patience is sometimes a challenge speaking from personal experience I really struggled with patience *it was a big challenge for me*. Having to wait for something was intolerable and just frustrating, I love and expect things to happen at the exact time I want it to.

Honestly, patience is not that easy to attain especially in this present era where everything just seems to be running in a fast lane but when you have it, you be able to see it's a very essential quality in life because it makes one become more empathetic and peaceful. You basically be able to make a rational decision with a clearer mind.

Very little self-love (depending on others' love).

For me, Self-love is definitely the best habit I had to develop and it has been a fantastic journey in life and I hope everyone gets to enjoy it.

When you love yourself, like truly love and accept yourself you will be able to embrace the power to not only enjoy but live your life to it's fullest.

I had to accept that in my life the most important person is ME *not being selfish but that true*. I had to practice more self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and patience, and when I did I realized that self-love was the secret to my own happiness.

You definitely don't need someone to make you feel complete just have to make self-love a priority and trust me you won't regret it.

I honestly have to say I'm really grateful I got to realized those life-draining habits at the right time in my life and I was so committed in changing them because enjoying my life is definitely a top priority in my life.

You too can live your life to the fullest just ask yourself this question what are those habits I need to get rid of in order to change my life? And once you realize those joy wrecking habits work on them gradually and I ensure you, you won't regret your decision.

Feeling depressed lately? learn simple habits to fight depression

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 15:37:00 +0000

Everything might feel a bit challenging in life especially when dealing with depression. Depression has a way of being an all-consuming monster on its own and it simply takes a toll on you physically and emotionally.

So what's depression?

According to Wikipedia "depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity"

It can be an overwhelming feeling and with what is going on in the world with the COVID 19 pandemic honestly is not helping. Depression can make anyone feel frustrated about life.

Sometimes life can be depressing, we plan but life gives us most of the time the exact opposite *and that can be discouraging* and honestly, we can't do anything to change that fact but what we can do is to try our very best to accept that, focus and appreciate those little things that make life so amazing. You should realize that you can't always have a good day but you can face a bad day with a good attitude.

Here's the thing, there are a lot of things that might not be going as planned but there are still so many things that are, and you need to recognize and appreciate them. It might not be easy but just train your mind to see the good in every situation.

How to deal with depression?

People with depression have the tendency to convince themselves that feeling down or sad it's a normal part of life but it's not, depression is a very powerful emotion and can impact every part of your life if left untreated.

So wondering whether you have depression or not, here are some common signs of depression.

*Lost interest in doing the things you previously love.

*Feeling guilty about things that aren't your fault

*Feeling worthless or not good enough.

*Feeling sad, hopeless just generally unhappy.

*Anxiety.

*Difficulties making your own decision.

*Frequent suicide thought.

*Acting recklessly.

*Always feel exhausted.

There are other signs or symptoms of depression that are not on this list.

Depression can make everyday life difficult so the million-dollar question here is, what should I do to brighten up my life and enjoy every moment of it especially when it feels like life is picking on me? honestly, I might not be a complete expert in this subject but personally, I have discovered some simple life-changing habits that helped me cope with depression and I hope it helps you too.

Make a list of those lovely people in your life and appreciate the fact you are not alone.

Typically, having depression causes one to withdraw from the people around them but honestly, that can make you feel more alone and depressed. Having people in your life is an incredible feeling so when you feel down and depressed take a moment to acknowledge the people in your life (might be your parents, kids, spouse, friends or even a neighbor) that have made you happy at one point in your life, and just simply write their names down.

It might sound weird but writing down the names of those people gives a feeling that there are people that actually love and care about you and it's also an amazing way to appreciate the fact you are not alone.

Make a habit to always do the things you love.

You won't be able to force yourself to stop feeling depressed, you can however attempt to keep on doing the things you love.

For me watching movies especially the romantic comedy ones is super fun, it always gives me that feeling that everything will work out in the end.

When you are depressed you may not enjoy all the things you once did, so be patient with yourself and take your time to find one or two activities that can help you handle depression. All you need to do is to think of all the things you love doing when you are happy, then when you feel down try to do one of those activities.

It might sound simple or even funny but doing this can help you combat depression by making you smile and laugh.

Challenge negative thinking and choose to be happy.

Depression can put a negative spin on everything including how you see yourself (you might think you are not good enough or nothing good is happening in life) but those are just thoughts and not an accurate view of who you are and how your life is going so it's important you try to challenge those negative thoughts with positive thoughts and choose to be happy.

For me happiness is a personal choice, no one can truly make you completely happy so you'll have to choose to be happy because your happiness solely depends on you. So no matter what you are going through in life my advice for you is to always carry a smiley face a loving and cheerful heart because life is to short for you to live an unhappy and depressed life.

It's not an easy habit to adopt but you can start each day with this thought "A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset and the choice to be fully happy depends on me".

Be grateful for the things you have in your life.

It can be so easy to get swept away in the fast lane and forget to stop and show appreciation for what you have because life if you don't know is full of amazing things that you really need to be grateful for. Your Life may not be exactly as you planned it to be but be grateful can really help you fight depression.

You can start small for instance maybe you down and don't feel like you can get out of bed, you can still be grateful for having a comfortable bed soft pillow and a warm blanket.

As you look for more and more things to be grateful in your life you'll be able to combat depression.

Doing something nice for someone.

You know that amazing feeling you get when someone does something nice for you or show you a little love, it feels great because you get to feel valued and loved. But the honest truth is that feeling is always doubled when you do something nice for someone you love and care about and it helps to increase positive emotions and improve your mood.

*People that help others stop focusing on their own problems*.

If you are suffering from depression you can also seek help from professionals like a therapist because depression is a serious mental illness but the good thing is you can overcome it and live a healthy and happy life.

Relationship mistakes every girl should avoid. game changer

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 17:18:00 +0000

Having that warm romantic and passionate attachment with someone special is an amazing feeling that I bet every girl secretly admires and wants to have, and of course, being in a relationship with someone you love is truly incredible and amazing not because you have the most handsome guy to flaunt around your world (like your friends family and social media) but having that one special person you can completely be yourself around and depend on both during the good and bad times *for me, that's a relationship*

Relationship is not a fairytale or storybook, *so don't believe everything you watch on television or read*, it faces many challenges and in it, you get to learn new things about yourself, your partner and basically about life, and I guess we all know making a relationship last is not all that easy, especially for married folks because being in a relationship with someone doesn't always mean you get to see eye to eye or never have an argument it means despite the bad days you still can't see yourself without that person.

There are certain behavioral patterns *I called them mistakes* that we do over and over again that makes it impossible to achieve a beautiful and happy relationship and as part of the female gender, I know there are certain mistakes that we make at one point or another in our relationship that can make it feel a bit tensed, but if you truly want a healthy and happy relationship you will have to put in the work and stop making them. *P.S for a relationship to actually work both parties have to put in the work*.

Comparing your relationship with others.

Think about this for minute guys, there are millions no billions of people in this world with different personalities and assumptions of life, so do you actually think every relationship should be the same or even perfect? *I don't think so*, in fact, I think when we compare your relationship with others we are basically setting your own relationship up for failure. You need to understand that every couple and relationship are actually different and vary greatly so instead of focusing on how different your relationship is set your mind to see how amazingly unique your relationship is and enjoy every moment of it.

complaining about your relationship with someone else.

I know to tell that one friend or a family member about how things are going in your relationship might feel good and liberating at first but do you know that, that act can actually damage and even kill your relationship. The problem with sharing your relationship details with others is that it breaks the trust in your relationship and makes you focus only on the negative part of your relationship. So if at all you have any issues in your relationship it's best to settle it out and fix it with your partner.

Neglecting your romantic side.

It's so easy to get lost and stressed out in your day to day busy lives but if you don't take the time to nurture the romances in your relationship be prepared to watch it fade. We ladies feel it's the men's job to always plan the romantic date and simply shower us with the most expensive gift and if they don't, then the relationship

becomes boring, but that's just not true. I personally feel to keep the relationship flame burning it requires both parties, so go ahead and make Romantic date night and alone time a priority in your relationship because romance is what keeps the relationship flames burning.

Wanting a perfect partner.

Basically, everyone has this perfect image of how they want their partners to look like, speak, and even dress but wanting or even expecting your partner to be perfect and getting mad when they are not can only make them feel less loved and rejected. As I said earlier, everyone is amazingly unique so instead of focusing on that supposed flaws and fantasizing on a perfect partner, appreciate and love them for everything they are because honestly guys, love is not perfect.

Being co-dependent.

Most girls see their partner as their world, they rely solely on them for everything, wish they can spend every waking moment with them, and depend on them to make you happy, but guys, that will only make them feel shocked and even stressed out and believe me men don't like to feel that way. Men adore the fact you are in their lives but love you to have your own life. So for me, I think the healthiest relationship is between those who say "I need you in my life but I also need you to have your own life" So take some time to do what you love, figure out your likes and dislikes are, have hobbies, spend time with your own friends and enjoy every moment of it.

Not considering your partner's feelings.

The most common mistake people make in their relationship is not giving their partner that safe space for them to express how they truly feel. We sometimes think men don't have emotions, believe me, that's not true. Men are even more emotional than us. Men try their best to hide it in their muscular personality, but they secretly want to have someone in their life they can express that side with, so ladies we should understand that fact, respect their different perspective and allow them to express their feelings in a space where they won't feel judged or criticized.

Jealousy.

Jealousy is a completely natural human feeling but we need to be very careful with how the way you handle it.

When you noticed you are always getting jealous in your relationship, you don't need to feel bad, all you need to do is to honestly talk about it because unchecked jealousy can become destructive in any relationship.

The bottom line is in order to keep a relationship you will have to communicate about everything both the good and bad, build trust, make time for each other, appreciate the flaws, appreciate each other become best friends, and love each other unconditional.

Self- confidence Boosters.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 08:41:00 +0000

For me, self-confidence is like a superpower, once you start to believe in yourself magic starts to happen and with it, you can conquer the world.

Katy Perry said "if you are presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything" and that's true because people who are confident tend to see the positive part of life, and when things aren't going well they are satisfied and don't jugde themselves.

I know as kids we had all the confidence in the world, we had dreams like becoming a famous Musicians, Pilots, Actors or Actresses, Doctors, Ballerina *for me a Princess* etc and we believed in those dreams but I bet most of us don't even remember those dreams probably because we allowed issues of life and people's comments affect our confidence. That is why it is important not to allow people's opinions affect the way you feel about yourself, you should have it in mind that confidence is not "they will like me" confidence is "I will be fine even if they don't"

You should understand that being confident is a personal choice, confidence, as well as other emotions, are feeling that we choose to either have or not (just the same way you choose to be happy) but once you have it, you will be able to achieve incredible things.

Choosing to be confident is the first step in gaining self-confidence but there are important things you'll have to do in order to achieve true self-confidence.

Accepting your weakness.

Most people spend too much time feeling ashamed of their weaknesses and work so hard to change it. They have this notion and believe life would be perfect without those weaknesses(flaws). They constantly use the word "IF ONLY"(like if only I was tall enough, if only I had flawless skin, if only my eyes were blue enough if only I had a sexy shape and my stomach was flat enough) knowingly or unknowingly, but do you know all those weakness and flaws you wish could just disappear are actually what makes you unique. They are your strength so instead of wishing and beating yourself about your flaws you should just accept them.

You need to stop worrying about imperfections and fully accept and love yourself exactly the way you are. Inspiring ways to do that, is to

*allow yourself to grieve the loss of not becoming exactly what you wanted

*identify your perceived flaws(weakness)

*imagining what your life will look like and all the amazing things you will do if your flaws(weakness) disappeared.

*do all those things you imagined and choose to live the life you want to live.

Once you accept yourself the way you are, the whole world will do too.

Out with all the negativity.

For you to be able to have confidence you definitely have to get rid of all the negative thoughts and even toxic people from your life. I usually tell people they shouldn't allow negativity to rent space in their mind, they should raise the rent and kick them out.

Low self-confidence is often caused by the negative thoughts you allow to run through your mind on an endless track.

It might sound crazy but an easy way to remove the negativity in your mind is to simply unfollow those people on your social media (like Instagram) that makes you feel insecure about yourself. Your mind will constantly make you believe you are not good enough and then the self-criticism kicks up, it's best to just ditch anything that makes you judge who you are.

You also need to stay away from life-sucking, energy-draining people that only know how to point out and talk about your supposed imperfection. Honestly guys, life is too short to spend with people who suck the happiness from you.

Stop comparing yourself with others.

Comparing your looks, wealth, possession, achievement skills to others can only kill the confidence you have, so it is important to focus on yourself, on your own goals and accomplishment. If you must compete, compete on yourself, and strive for self-improvement.

Have it in mind that when you constantly compare yourself to others you will never get to enjoy your life.

Final words from MimaSpark.

Everyone struggles with low self-confidence from time to time, some due to a traumatic event from the past, while others might just be a mental health problem, but you need to know that you can choose to be confident no matter your personal experience, and believe me, guys, once you choose to be confident you will be amazed on what you can achieve in life.

10 healthy habits to improve your life.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Tue, 19 May 2020 10:59:00 +0000

As we already know, life is so amazing, it is filled with both the wonderful times and "not so" wonderful times ....and honestly those good and bad times are really what makes life so amazing.

As an amazing, beautiful, and scary life is there is only one thing that is certain "Life is too short" and we definitely need to enjoy every moment of it. Well, I am saying this because most of us don't really know how to enjoy life. Most times we tend to focus only on the bad part and forget the incredible part. "And honestly, it's not healthy". We also regularly develop some certain attitude that forms our habit.

Aristotle said "we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.

Habits are so powerful, and we definitely need to be very careful because habits can rule our life. so it is very important we develop healthy habits from time to time.

What are the healthy habits?

Healthy habits are any behavior that benefits your physical, mental, and emotional health. And guys in order to truly enjoy the life you need to develop healthy habits but it's not going to be easy it requires a lot of sacrifices but it is definitely possible "not easy but possible" to change to more healthy habits and enjoy your life.

Here are important habits that will change your life.

Eat healthily.

If you are really serious about having a healthy lifestyle then you'll have to focus on your eating habits. Eating healthy is not about staying unrealistically thin or depriving yourself of food you love it's about feeling great, improving your health, and boosting your mood.

Have in mind that eating healthy doesn't need to be complicated, you just have to:

*focus on avoiding processed and packaged food.

*eat more of your own cooked meals.

*switch to more healthy alternative (like fried chicken to grilled chicken)

*add more fruits and vegetables to your diet.

Exercise and meditate.

Exercising and meditating daily really helps to strengthen your body and enhance your mental health. I know most of the time we always say " I don't have the time" I completely understand but just 10 minutes of exercising and meditating a day can really do a lot of difference in your life.

If you really want to create that perfect version of yourself and improve your health then make this habit a daily ritual.

Meditating helps to keep your mind clear and calm. So anytime you find it difficult to have a peaceful moment just breathe and calm your thoughts.

Drink water regularly.

Drinking water regularly is very important because it helps to improve your skin appearances and enhance your digestive health. 6 to 8 cups of water a day can do the trick. There are also apps you can use to track your water intake if it's difficult for you to adapt to this habit.

Sleep.

Sleep is so essential to your health and well being. It has a huge effect on how you feel mentally and physically. People that find it difficult to sleep always end up being irritated, sluggish, and are at the risk of developing diseases. So if you are finding it difficult to have a night rest, the following habits will help.

*reduced day time naps.

*exercise daily.

*use meditation techniques.

*eat healthily.

Accept your weakness.

Most people sometimes focus on their weaknesses, they worry about it and work so hard to change it but little do they know that all those weakness are actually their strength. Weaknesses are qualities that make everyone unique. You'll have to make a habit to embrace your weakness and always love yourself. Accepting your weakness is very healthy and helps to build one's confidence.

Invest in yourself.

Yes, taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and maintain a work-life balance is very essential. So instead of trying to be like someone or a celebrity you saw on social media you can invest in yourself. You can invest in yourself by developing or teaching yourself new skills. Sometimes it can require a significant investment of both time and money to do.

Form an amazing relationship.

It is very healthy to have a good, strong, and beautiful relationship with someone because it's impossible to survive this life alone. But you need to be careful of the people you allow in your life because they can affect your personality. So it is important you make friends with people who love, support you, and lead you out of damaging situations.

Have a positive mindset.

Positive thinkers are healthier and less stressed than negative thinkers. Even if having a positive mindset does not come naturally to you, there are a lot of benefits that will sway you to develop these healthy habits, like

*it will increase your confidence and self-esteem

*it will improve your wellness and immunity.

*it will relief you from stress

*you will be able to make more friends.

Read.

Reading is a very important habit we all need to adapt to. I am not talking about your daily reading habits around twitter and Facebook but reading an actual book. Making a hobby out of this habit has many benefits. Like:

*it improves focus and concentration

*it improves mental stimulation

*it gives more knowledge

*it increases vocabulary expansion

*it improves your memory

*it gives strong analytical thinking skills.

Make self care a priority.

Making self-care a priority is a very healthy way to enjoy your life. Yes, you might think it's a selfish way to live but it's not true because giving yourself a self-care is an amazing way to feel relaxed, vibrant, radiant, and to be the better version of yourself.

I know it's not going to be easy but if you want a healthy lifestyle, you will have to make this habit a daily ritual and believe in yourself.

How to make yourself a priority: 5 tips.

noreply@blogger.com (MimaSparks) — Sat, 16 May 2020 18:01:00 +0000

Most times we do not know how to prioritize ourselves and we sometimes think it's a selfish thing to do, so we prioritize other people like our kids, friends, spouse, boss, siblings, and even our parents over ourselves.

Michelle Obama said "if you do not take over your time and life other people will gobble it up. If you don't prioritize yourself, you will constantly fall lower and lower on your list."

So thinking of yourself once in a while doesn't make you a bad person and if anyone told you otherwise, it's simply not true. You need to learn how to take care of yourself first, love yourself first before thinking of pouring out your love and giving your times to others.

I am not saying you couldn't do anything good for other people and go around saying "No" to people, just saying you shouldn't always feel obligated to help others especially when you know you will not be able to at that moment.

I understand it completely because I have always been a shy and reserved person (an introvert) and honestly didn't know how to express my emotions and wanted lots of friends and wanted them to like me so I ended up pleasing them and sometimes displeasing myself. I always said "yes" to everyone (my classmates, my elders my siblings, and my parents). For me it's was so wrong and disrespectful to say "no" to people and I always believe you have to be nice to people in order for them to like you.

I later came to the realization that being nice to people and going out of your way to do everything for them doesn't mean they will do the same for you. People most of the time take advantage of that fact and end up not appreciating the things you do. It really hurts and sometimes damages the way we feel about ourselves.

Again I'm not saying you shouldn't be nice to people, just saying you should make yourself, your top priority and take care of yourself and be the very best you can be for yourself. You should not feel guilty for choosing to do so because you are the most important person in your life.

I know it's a big change and it's not going to be easy but you can do it if you set your mind on it. You can actually be a better person if you put yourself first. So start doing these 5 things.

Make "Me time" a priority.

This is a very important step because most people don't know how to enjoy their lives, they are always too busy and don't have time to do something for themselves. You have to make a list of everything you love and make time for them. Whether it's watching a movie or a favorite TV series or even eating a bucket of crispy chicken, as long as you love it, do it.

Learn how to say "No" without feeling guilty.

As I said earlier you shouldn't please others and end up displeasing yourself, you should know when to simply say "no" to people's requests. And I know at first you will feel guilty, it's understandable but I ensure you that eventually, it will get easy.

Always say kind things to yourself.

You should make it a habit to say kind things to yourself and put a stop to self-criticism and insecurities. If you can't go around saying mean things to others, then don't it to yourself. You can do that by appreciating and loving the skin you are in, nobody is perfect and there is so much more to life than worrying about imperfections.

Don't allow other people's reaction to affect you

You will notice, the moment you start refusing requests, people will start giving you some certain attitude that won't be pleasant and can even make you anxious and afraid of them. You should realize you cannot control people's reactions just don't allow it to affect you.

Don't push aside your needs for others.

Thinking of yourself doesn't make you a bad or a selfish person, so stop pushing your needs aside for others and make sure there are met. You can truly prioritize your happiness by doing this. And don't let others sway you or make you feel bad about your decision.

Follow these simple tips and you will feel less stressed, you will think more clearly and your confidence will improve.
