Choice overload gets its name from the paralyzing effect it has on your decision-making processes. The more variety there is, the harder it becomes for us to choose. Choice overload, also known as over choice, choice paralysis, or the paradox of choice, describes how people get overwhelmed when they are presented with a large number of options to choose from. While we tend to assume that more choice is a good […]
When someone says these words it is often very hard to assess the reality of the situation. Is it really true that nobody cares or is this just how we feel at this moment in time? How do you convince someone that you care when they don’t feel worthy of love and care in the first place? How do you say “I care” without it sounding shallow or as a […]
Plan “B” here is used as an ordinal value; it’s effectively the same as “plan #2”. We say “plan B” for the same reason we say “plan 2”, and we don’t say “B plan” for the same reasons we don’t say “2 plan”. Just in case the thought got into your head, the “B” doesn’t stand for “backup”, it’s simply the 2nd letter of the alphabet. The original, primary plan would […]
While relationships shouldn’t be the be- all and end- all of life, it’s inevitable that you should sometimes hit up on compromises to make the bond sustain. Because no two persons share the exact same ideologies, it’s obvious that sometimes you need to find a mid-way to come full circle in your relationship.

Chronic exhaustion leads to more […]
I will try to make you rethink your relationship with your body and food. The body is a reflection of what you eat and your mind is a reflection of what you read. The health and food industry is filled with many misconceptions about what’s good to eat, fad diets, and advice on what it means to be healthy and eat well. This may not be immediately obvious or even important […]
Communication isn’t just about what you say. If you want people to listen to you, you need to listen to them. Don’t get so focused on what you’re saying that you miss their important comments, emotions, and reactions. Likewise, when others are speaking, listen and process what they’re trying to communicate instead of planning your response. When everyone is actively involved, communication is far more effective. What do you hope […]
First, make sure there’s not a language issue. In meetings, people may say “yes” to something without really know what they are saying “yes” to. I was guilty of this when I began conducting business in a second language that I was learning. I honestly believed that I understood what we were agreeing to and then later on learned that I was mistaken. One way to double check is instead […]
