Healthy Relationships vs. Unhealthy Relationships: 14 Differences You Should Know

Last Updated on: February 14, 2021 by Charm Villalon

Love can be the most wonderful thing in the world. In fact, many people who were lucky enough to experience loving and being loved in a relationship will agree that as a person living in the mundane reality of life, it is the closest thing we have to magic.

To answer these questions, we have collected some insights and experiences from real people – and it’s important that you pay attention before it’s too late.

10 Signs You’re the Toxic One in Your Relationship and What to Do about it

Last Updated on: March 18, 2021 by Charm Villalon

Keeping a relationship isn’t simple and making it work can be really challenging especially if couples fail to see that something is slowly and effectively tearing them apart. What is more frustrating is when the very act of trying to make it better is actually the one thing that is making it worse.

This type of setting is a common scenario in toxic relationships.

Most of the time, neither of them is aware of how their “love” is slowly destroying them until it’s too late.

We can all agree that the best way to solve a problem is to find what caused it in the first place. In problems concerning a relationship between two people in love, it’s not the question of “what” but it’s actually a matter of “who”.

Well, everything that has been said leads us to one equally important question that must be addressed: how would you know if you’re actually the one ruining it all? Are there signs that you’re the toxic one in your relationship? And if you find out you’re indeed the one, what can you do about it?

Last Updated on: February 17, 2021 by Marydel Mitch Flores

Do you have a lot of friends? Do you remember how long have you been with them?

William Shakespeare once said, “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”

At a certain point, friendship is everything to us. It is one of the most important things in our lives because it can influence our choices and helps us define ourselves. Our friends make us feel comfortable; they can unravel the moments of weakness, and also know our shortcomings but still love us anyway.

Perhaps, I can say that I am the best version of myself when I’m surrounded by friends. I don’t need to act like someone else because they accept me wholeheartedly for who I am. And in times, I am going through the most challenging moment of my life. I have friends who will come to rescue and save not only my day but my sanity.

They say “friends are like flowers in the garden of life”. Friendship also needs its own kind of water and soil to grow healthy and strong. So what does a healthy friendship look like? How would you build a strong and lasting friendship? Here are fifteen ways to encourage a stronger relationship with your best pals.

11 Inspiring Tips to Overcome Shyness

Last Updated on: February 17, 2021 by Charm Villalon

Being shy can affect how you accomplish simple to complex day-to-day activities. In fact, this constant lack of confidence in yourself may eventually be an obstacle in achieving your goals in life in the long run. As a form of introversion, this can be the reason why you don’t interact with other people often, why you don’t try new things and also the primary culprit that kills your every chance to self-growth. So what can you do about it?

First of all, it’s important to understand that shyness is not something you can remove from your system in an instant and it’s not easy to change someone’s perspective and the feelings that go with it. How we think is affected and influenced by many things. It takes time to convince yourself that you’ll be okay, that everything’s just fine. It will be a constant battle with yourself but once you’ve decided to be brave, it will be worth it; It’s liberating and you’ll be able to do so much more.

So if you ever need something to start with, here are a few inspiring tips to overcome shyness.

10 Signs Your Relationship is Worth Fighting For

Last Updated on: March 2, 2021 by Charm Villalon

A relationship between two people in love can be exciting yet unpredictable. Sometimes, young couples freely and constantly express their willingness to spend the rest of their lives with their partner, saying promises of “forever” and “eternity” only to find those words empty when challenges start bombarding them.

Should you keep fighting even if you keep on getting hurt? Should you finally give up the fight and start over? This article can hopefully give you the answers that you need in order to reflect on that big and final decision without regrets.

Everything that has been said leads us to the most significant question of all: what are the signs that your relationship is worth fighting for?

10 Struggles only Work-at-Home Moms will Understand

Last Updated on: February 11, 2021 by Lyza Sabornido

Working at home was a choice I had to make after my son became sick when he was just four months old. Being a first-time mother, it was pretty scary seeing my son suffer from life-threatening illnesses at such a very young age. I went back to work shortly after giving birth and guilt was killing me thinking that if I have stayed longer at home after my son was born he would have never suffered that way.

As a work-at-home mom, I get to be a hands-on-mom too. I am still earning while I’m caring for my son. What else could I ask for, right? Unfortunately, being a work-at-home mom is not as perfect as it seems. Sure, I could write a long list of the best things about being a work-at-home parent. However, there are also struggles only work-at-home moms will understand. Here are some of the challenges I faced and conquered:

12 Ways to Deal with People with Crab Mentality

Last Updated on: February 16, 2021 by Charm Villalon

Have you ever tried so hard to achieve something but always end up failing because someone did their best to prevent it? Have you ever been so successful only to find out that some people are not happy about what you have accomplished? Fortunately, not everyone experiences these frustrating scenarios but other unfortunate souls often become victims of this type of negativity brought about by some who apparently find pleasure in putting others down.

Crab mentality, also known as “crabs in the bucket”, is a metaphor that describes a person’s pattern of thinking specifically how one tries to either impede the success of another or undermine one’s achievement by finding faults and flaws in the other person’s feat.

For instance, people with a crab mentality often follow a thought pattern that, if they can’t have something, neither can other people – just like a bucket full of crabs: some will try to climb up to freedom but the others left behind will just pull them down.

If you happen to have an ill-fated encounter with people with crab mentality, what would you do? Would you respond in anger and bombard them with the same condemnation? This situation can be frustrating but don’t let it ruin your inner peace. How? This article will help you out.

These are the most “mature” and effective ways to deal with people with a crab mentality.
