• Morning sunlight and movement. Get out of the house and see natural light before starting work.

• Healthy nutrition. Include herbal teas and healthy natural foods to maintain consistent energy.

• Healthy technology. Ensure your phone isn't on your desk. Constant phone checks crash your dopamine and therefore killing your motivation and focus.

• Fun breaks. Have breaks entirely away from your work, watch TV, listen to music, call your friends etc.

• Organisation. When finishing work, organise your setup to ensure it is either packed away or set up nicely for the next day.

• Post-work activity. After your work get out of the house, exercise, socialise, buy groceries etc.

2022-08-14 19:33:59 ⁣Emotional Numbness

Emotional numbness is a state of being in which you are not feeling or expressing emotions. Emotional numbing is the mental and emotional process of shutting out feelings and may be experienced as deficits of emotional responses or reactivity.

Quite often, feeling numb is temporary. However, for some, emotional numbness becomes a strategy to protect themselves from further emotional or physical pain. While it may provide temporary relief, learning to cope with difficult feelings this way can have long-lasting consequences.

People with emotional numbness might use strategies to resist confronting their emotions. Even if they're doing it unconsciously, they might use avoidant behaviors and steer clear of certain people or situations.

2022-08-13 13:14:18 And that was the moment I realized: when the world felt dark and scary, love could whisk you off to go dancing; laughter could take some of the pain away; beauty could punch holes in your fear. I decided then that my life would be full of all three.

2022-08-12 23:26:45 ⁣If you complain that those around you see that your conversations are trivial,

Try to read. Reading raises your level of awareness and therefore the topics you talk about, and by reading I mean not newspapers and magazines, but books with serious and deep topics.

2022-08-11 14:25:01 Sometimes there is such beauty in awkwardness. There's love and emotion trying to express itself, but at the time, it just ends up being awkward.

2022-08-09 12:19:01 ⁣You are not bad...!

You are wounded and in pain, and one of the wrong ways to deal with your wound is to accuse yourself of evil! Stop it, your loved one may be the culprit, but because of your feeling of guilt, you accuse yourself because you cannot imagine yourself accusing the one you love that they wronged you one day, and it is the truth that will set you free of pain.

2022-08-04 16:11:08 ⁣There is one irrefutable law of the universe: We are each responsible for our own life. If you’re holding anyone else accountable for your happiness, you’re wasting your time. You must be fearless enough to give yourself the love you didn’t receive.

2022-08-03 18:58:46 Love is like liquor, the drunker and more impotent you are, the stronger and smarter you think of yourself and the surer you are of your rights.
