The good news is that while emotions are a natural part of life, they do not have to control us. Emotional regulation is the key that allows us to handle our emotions in a healthier way.

“Self-care” is everywhere these days. It shows up on Instagram posts with candles and face masks, in TikTok routines with elaborate morning rituals, and even in workplace wellness initiatives. But because it is used so often, many people are left wondering, what does self-care really mean? Is it just about pampering yourself, or is there something deeper going on?

Ever feel like your success is just luck and everyone will find out you’re a fraud? Imposter syndrome is more common than you think. In this post, we explore why it happens, how it shows up, and simple ways to reclaim your confidence.

Let’s be honest: not all neighbours are a blessing. Some are loud. Some are nosy. And some—well, some feel like they stepped straight out of a reality show nobody signed up for.

Ever found yourself deep-cleaning the kitchen instead of starting that project you’ve been dreading? Or scrolling on your phone while telling yourself, “I’ll start in five minutes”… for the third hour in a row? Yep. That’s procrastination — and no, you’re not just “lazy.”

Among the many emotions we encounter, guilt, shame, and regret are notable for their significant influence on our mental well-being. While these emotions are often used interchangeably, they possess unique traits and impact our lives differently. Recognising their distinctions can bring clarity and enable new ways for healing and personal development.

With this article, I would like to introduce those not yet familiar with mindfulness to it and its usefulness.
