Pure thoughts with Nomvula Motlhoiwa

 I am grateful for being alive For every breath and every beat For every sunrise and every star For every smile and every tear I am grateful for being alive For every challenge and every chance For every lesson and every growth For every failure and every success I am grateful for being alive For every friend and every foe For every love and every loss For every gift and every cost I am grateful for being alive For every dream and every reality For every hope and every fear For every now and every here That fills my heart with joy and strife I'm grateful for the breath I take That gives me strength to create and make I'm grateful for the sun and moon That light my way from dawn to noon I'm grateful for the earth and sky That offer beauty to my eye I'm grateful for the love I share With family, friends and those who care I'm grateful for the challenges I face That help me grow and find my place I'm grateful for the chance to be A part of this amazing reality

 I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of darkness Every breath is a struggle, every move is a pain I can't see the shore, I can't find the light I'm alone in this ocean, with no one to help me fight Anxiety and depression are my constant companions They whisper in my ear, they drag me down They tell me I'm worthless, they tell me I'm hopeless They make me doubt myself, they make me hate myself But I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in I know there's a way out, I know there's a way in I know there's a spark inside me, I know there's a fire within I know there's a reason to live, I know there's a reason to begin I'm not drowning, I'm swimming I'm not sinking, I'm rising I'm not alone, I'm surrounded By people who care, by people who love me Anxiety and depression are not my masters They are my challenges, they are my tests They make me stronger, they make me wiser They make me appreciate myself, they make me valu...

 Overthinkers are those who think way too much about everything, always imagining the worst and what could go wrong. They have a hard time making choices, trusting their gut, or letting go of stuff they can't control. Overthinking can mess with their work, happiness, and health. Some things that might make someone overthink are anxiety, perfectionism, low self-confidence, fear of messing up, or bad experiences. Overthinkers can try to get better by talking to a therapist, being more mindful, relaxing more, or saying nice things to themselves. They can also try to set doable goals, avoid things that stress them out, and hang out with people who get them.

 Love is a complex and powerful emotion that can have many benefits and challenges for our well-being. In this blog post, I will explore some of the psychological and physiological aspects of love, as well as some of the common myths and misconceptions that surround it.  First, let's define what love is. According to the triangular theory of love, proposed by psychologist Robert Sternberg, love consists of three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Intimacy refers to the feelings of closeness, connectedness, and affection that we share with another person. Passion refers to the physical and sexual attraction, excitement, and desire that we feel for another person. Commitment refers to the decision and willingness to maintain a long-term relationship with another person, despite any difficulties or obstacles that may arise. These three components can combine in different ways to form different types of love. For example, romantic love involves high levels of intimacy ...

 Today I want to share with you something very personal and very important. I want to talk about how I found true love after a toxic relationship. You see, for a long time I was in a relationship that was unhealthy, abusive and draining. I won't go into details, but let's just say that it left me feeling broken, insecure and hopeless. I thought I would never find happiness again. I thought I didn't deserve it. But then, something amazing happened. I met someone who changed my life. Someone who showed me what true love is. Someone who respected me, supported me, and cherished me. Someone who made me feel alive again. It wasn't easy at first. I had a lot of doubts, fears and insecurities. I had a lot of baggage from my past relationship. I had a lot of healing to do. But this person was patient, understanding and compassionate. They helped me grow, heal and trust again. They helped me see the beauty in myself and in the world. Now, I can say that I am truly happy. I am in...

 Dreams Crushed Dreams crushed due to the love of paper caused by hunger, for I forgot about my dreams as I was too scared to leave thy stomach cry even louder,for I go to be full,leaving my soul hungry all at the cost of me forgetting that I have dreams. Yes I do have dreams were I would get on stage and heal the lost souls as I preach words that move the heart and soul,leaving a smile on your face with no room for negativity from thy brains. Dreams crushed into pieces as I try to pick them up,molding them like the creator did when he creator me and you. As I cry myself to sleep each and every night for thy soul sleeps, wakes hungry and get more hungry as the days go by. My dreams were to see myself in studio recording my books of life but I see myself thinking of them, as I took a life insurance and insured my future with thy 9-5 job not knowing that I was simply crushing my dreams. I stand accused as the judge of dreams sentence me to writers block, leaving my soul wipe sadness ...
