LOVE YOURSELF - LOVING YOURSELF / SELF LOVE MADE SIMPLE

SELF LOVE MADE SIMPLE

Self-love itself is so big, so important and so simple but it isn't necessarily easy to implement. 

essentially appreciating yourself for everything that you are currently, both your strengths your weaknesses. then wanting to build and improve on those weaknesses because you love yourself so you want to improve yourself 

Loving yourself means that you want the best for yourself. Not right now, but in the long term. so putting your long term needs over your short term desires. choosing the things which are going to better you or going to make you happier in the long run. next week, next month or next year down the line. Putting your long term needs over your short time desires is hard, in some situations we will struggle to decide what is more important, our short or long term wants and desires.  This is where self-discipline comes into the picture. In this modern-day and age we always just want what will benefit us in the now and not the future if we always satisfy our short term desires we often won't reach our long term ones. Loving yourself is directly linked to self-discipline, you will have to say no to things you may want to do and other times you will have to say yes to things you may not want to do because you know it will benefit you in the long run.

Here is an everyday example of self-love taking self-discipline that I think a lot of us can relate to; making sure we take some time out of our day to meditate, pray or read even though we really want to go watch some Netflix or stay on our social media. To me, that is self-love right there, even if it's really small. It's still self-love, and that takes discipline. 

Self-love is contextual to you and you alone. If you're a workaholic and you have been working all day, then you might have to force yourself to step away from work and watch some TV. On the flip side if you're lazy and the piece of work you have been avoiding is starting to pile up or is meant to be submitted soon then self-love for you would be you going and getting on with that work. As I said earlier self-love is different for everyone as everyone has unique situations but the one thing they often all have in common is that it takes self-discipline.  

Self-love is the #1 most important thing. Never forget that.

Being Independent in University and life

Being Independent in University and Life Welcome back blog family.  It's your Grandad AO and The Growth Never Stops .  EVERYBODY NEEDS INDEPENDENCE , especially people going to university. University most definitely teaches people independence by throwing them in the deep-end. Forcing us students to cook and learn how to fend for ourselves. Even force ourselves to go into our most hated lectures at 9AM! But with saying that, you can easily be a university student and not be independent.  We all need to understand that IT IS ONLY US ON OUR JOURNEY'S in life. I'm not saying that we are all alone in this walk of lives or that we don't have people there for us such as friends and family. What I am saying is we are the only ones who go through exactly what we go through when we go through it. WE are the only one who decide where we go on this journey with our actions. I don't believe anyone's purpose on this earth is to be a follower, yes some peo

An Introduction To The Growth Mindset

An Introduction To The Growth Mindset   - Carol Dweck came up with this concept.  For people who don’t know, firstly what is a mindset? A mindset is formed by a group of previous thoughts and beliefs which you have accepted and allowed to shape present your thoughts.  Accepted thoughts are what direct & control your emotions & actions and your actions create your life.  A growth mindset is believing that you can always do better and succeed. Regardless of your natural abilities, b orn talent may give certain people a head start but people with dedication and hard work can create success.  This mindset isn't just about talent, it is about not giving up and believing you can always do better. You see, with a growth mindset when you do fail, you look for ways to improve, adapt accordingly and then you go back at it. Even when you are doing good you identify how you can improve on top of that.  You're an optimist. Always looking on the bright side. Now. The opposite of a gr

BEING LOW MAINTENANCE AT UNIVERSITY - MY EXPERIENCE

  BEING LOW MAINTENANCE AT UNIVERSITY -  MY EXPERIENCE IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE YOU, IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T NEED TO TALK TO YOU. When you are low maintenance surrounded by so many people who used to the norm of everyone being high maintenance, a lot of people will think that you don't like them because you don't message them. Especially at university, everybody is making new friends and trying to create new bonds, and I understand that but to me, I do not see the point of messaging you when there is nothing important to talk about. In university we are going to see each other every couple of days anyway, so what is the point?  Some people may say that we have communication issues and maybe there's truth to that. I can personally go months, maybe a year without talking to some of my closest friends. Of course, there will be the exchange of birthday messages but that could easily be it. Maybe it's because of how my relationship with family members has be
