Survival

At the end of the day, honoring yourself is not selfish; it’s essential. When you choose to leave a toxic relationship, you’re making a statement that your life matters, that your happiness matters, and that your well-being is not negotiable. You’re affirming that you are worthy of kindness, respect, and a love that nurtures your soul rather than drains it.

It’s okay to put yourself first. It’s okay to prioritize your own needs over the chaos of someone else’s struggles. It’s okay to walk away from a love that asks you to compromise your truth, your peace, and your sense of self. Choosing yourself, even when it hurts, is not only an act of courage—it’s an act of radical love for the person who needs it most: you.… Read More Survival

Intrinsic Motivation: The Catalyst for Real Change

Neuroscience supports this idea by showing how the brain responds differently to intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation. When someone is internally motivated, the brain’s reward system releases dopamine, which enhances feelings of satisfaction and encourages the person to continue their efforts. This creates a positive feedback loop, where each small success reinforces the desire to keep moving forward. In contrast, when people are driven by external forces, the reward system may not be as strongly activated, making it harder to sustain their efforts over time.… Read More Intrinsic Motivation: The Catalyst for Real Change
