I would like to share with you a beautiful and significant poem about the inexorability passage of time, and what we can do to make the best of it. Enjoy
Barely the day started and
it’s already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday
and it’s already Friday.
.. and the month is already over.
.. and the year is almost over.
.. and already 40, 50 or 60 years
of our lives have passed. […]

The Greatest Act of Self Love
This quote encapsulates a powerful lesson we need to learn about valuing oneself and setting boundaries:
“This year, I learned to step away from people and spaces where I don’t feel valued.
I stopped overexplaining, forcing connections, and seeking validation from others. I trusted my intuition, set boundaries, and removed my energy without guilt.
I realized that protecting my peace is essential and that choosing myself is the greatest act of self-love.”
Isn’t that just so on point? […]
Does Time Heal All Wounds?
Do you think time heals all wounds? The ox asked the rabbit.
The rabbit shook her head and replied, I don’t think it’s time that heals. It’s what you do with time that makes us better or worse.

It’s what we actively do with that time that makes the biggest difference. […]

How to Challenge Negative Thoughts
Did you know most humans have between 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day?!!
Thoughts could be a wonderful source of creativity. Our brain has been designed to protect us, and alert us of possible threats. That is why our thinking energy goes to repetitive and mostly negative thoughts about future speculations or resolve past events.
On top of that, our built-in mechanism to counterbalance these negative thoughts – the frontal lobe -can be easily overridden by fear, […]

The most important relationship you will ever have is the relationships with yourself. That relationship will set the foundation for the rest of the relationships you will build in your life.
I invite you to embrace who you are with flaws and all, and if you have not already, to consider falling in love with yourself.

Honing our Communication Skills with S.E.W.
There is no question that communication skills is one of the most important abilities we can possess. The ability to effectively exchange information, ideas and feelings with others is key to building strong relationships, connection and understanding both at a personal and professional level.

The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself. Loving yourself truly and deeply is the key to a happy and fulfilling life. If you lack self-love, you will see it affecting every aspect of your being, every relationship, even your professional life.
First and foremost, self-love leads to self-acceptance. […]
