6 Ways To Accept The Pain And Get Over You Unrequited Love For Good

By
Stephanie Reeds

Unrequited love is one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life.

I remember those times. I remember those moments as if they were yesterday. I loved you, but I was never enough for you. I gave everything I had to you, but I didn’t get anything from you in return.

I will be honest with you; it wasn’t easy for me to go through all of that on my own. It took me a lot of time, a few kind people, an unconditional understanding from them and my own will to get to where I am now.  

But I did it. I accepted pain as a new feeling in my life and I let it flow through me. I allowed myself to feel it inside of me. It hurt like hell, but eventually, it got better. With time I learned that some things are not meant for us, no matter how much we think they are.

If you are struggling with the same, here are 6 ways that will help you accept the pain and overcome your unrequited love:

1. Cut off any contact with them for some period. I know that they would probably want to be your friend. I’ve been through it. I’ve pretended to be a friend to a person whose touch I desperately craved.

Some people do that purely out of their hearts, but then, three are some that usually do that out of pity for you.’

Don’t let them control you. Don’t let their guilt force you to do something that hurts you. Cut off any contact with them if that is how you feel. And don’t let them make you the bad guy for doing that.

2. Allow yourself to feel grief and go through all of its stages. The emotions that you will feel after realizing that they will never love you the way you love them will be painful. They will sting your heart. And they will make you feel as though you’ve broken up. Accept them anyway. Accept the pain. Accept the sorrow. Give yourself time to grieve and process what happened. Let your emotions consume you.

3. Tell everyone that you need time. Isolate yourself. Take as much time as you need to recharge. Let everyone know that you will be gone for a while and don’t give a damn what others have to say about that. I used to think that doing this is an act of selfishness, but now I know that if it’s what you need, then you should do it!

4. Talk to a person that might help you out. A lot of people struggle with moving on. I was one of them. I know it looks like I can talk to you for hours about it, but back then it was very hard for me to open. The only solution was visiting a professional. And if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be here today giving tips on coping with unrequited love.’

So, yes. If you feel like you cannot find the way out of the maze, don’t hesitate to talk to someone who can help you.

5. Remind yourself that you are worthy of love. Remind yourself that you are an amazing, loving, caring and awesome human being who deserves to be loved truly. Replace every negative thought inside of you that is dragging you down with positivity and see what happens. Once you embrace the fact that you are worthy of love, value, respect, and understanding, the right person will come along.

6. Stop running into them. Whatever you choose to do, just know that running into them accidentally (on purpose) will not help you move on. Seeing them will be like a slap on the face. Like a knife in the guts. It will only hurt you more and more. So, don’t do that to yourself. Don’t hurt yourself more. You won’t overcome the pain of your unrequited love if you let that person be a part of your life.

10 Signs He Doesn’t Really Love You – He Is Only Using You

By
Stephanie Reeds

Being in love is the most amazing feeling in the whole world, but not when you force it. Love is not something that can happen when you want it to happen. Love is an uncontrollable force that has its own pace.

So, if you are in a relationship with someone who doesn’t seem certain about you, it may be time for you to start asking some questions. When a person loves, they love from the bottom of their hearts and everything seems easy. But when a person doesn’t want to be with you, you can feel it in your guts.

Here are 10 signs that he may not be that into you:

1. He is always busy doing something else. It seems like he has more important things in his life than being with you. Every time you call him, he is already somewhere having the time of his life with his friends or colleagues.  He barely makes time for you.

2. He doesn’t want to introduce you to his friends and family. Every time he comes across someone, he knows he introduces you as his friend. He hasn’t mentioned that he has a girlfriend to anyone, so no one really knows who you are. This is a sign that he is not really in love with you – You are just convenient.

3. You are the only one who plans your dates. He doesn’t bother to call you and make plans with you. Once a week is enough for him. If you don’t bother to text him or suggest doing something fun, you will probably never see each other again.

4. He convinces you that he is honest with you, but you can feel it in your heart that he doesn’t want to open up. He is simply not there when you talk. Every time you try to ask him something more about who he is, he finds a way to avoid that question and blame you for asking personal stuff.

5. He rarely calls you. He prefers to text you.

6. He doesn’t mention you in his future plans. He often talks about certain events in the future, but he rarely includes you in them. It is almost like he doesn’t even consider your relationship as something serious.

7. He often cancels your plans with an excuse that he has something more important. He doesn’t really care whether you’ll get mad or anything because he knows that whatever happens, it won’t be long until you forgive him.

8. He still talks to his ex-partners. He says that he is friends with every single one of them, but it is pretty clear that he is not really good at maintaining those kinds of friendships. This a big red flag. You mustn’t avoid it.

9. He doesn’t take time to get to know the real you. That is because he doesn’t care about what you two have. He is only playing you. And he will keep doing that until he gets bored and actually finds someone else.

10. He avoids all forms of affection in public. He doesn’t want to put his arm around you or hold hands with you when you are out in public. In fact, he doesn’t really want to be seen with you. He may not say that, but his actions do. Every time he takes you out for lunch, it is always someplace secret. Somewhere no one can see you.

Whatever You Take For Granted Will Be Taken Away From You Eventually

By
Riley Cooper

They say that you are not aware of what you have until it is all taken away from you. But, the truth is that you were perfectly aware of what you had – it just never occurred to you that you would lose it one day.

Almost every day, we come across inspirational quotes, sayings, and articles about how we can stop taking our loved ones for granted and how we can be more grateful for what we have in life. And after reading them, we immediately think, “Yes, the person who said this was so right.”

But, the question is: Do we really behave this way? Do we really show that we’re aware of the existence of our loved ones? Do we really treat them the way they deserve – with kindness, compassion, and respect?

Just ask yourself: How many times have you expressed your gratitude to your parents for all those times they took care of you when you were sick or listened to you attentively and gave you wise pieces of advice when you were struggling with love problems?

How many times have you had the chance to show your love to those who truly love you and care about you, but you didn’t because you had “other more important things to do?” How many times have you had the chance to tell your family or friends, “I love you,” but didn’t because you were “busy doing something else?”

The sad truth is that we are all guilty of taking for granted those who are close to us. We’re all guilty of neglecting them and their feelings, needs, wishes, and problems.

And once we get caught in the never-ending wheel of taking our loved ones for granted, it becomes very difficult for us to get out of this habit. Unfortunately, only when they’re taken away from us, do we become aware of what we had. Only then do we realize how important to us they were. Only then do we understand how much they loved us.

Appreciating and showing your gratitude to those who are close to you is essential. This is something that will make you feel good about yourself and also let those around you know how much you love and care about them.

So, if you think you might also be guilty of taking your loved ones for granted, make sure you remember and start doing the following things on a daily basis:

1. Treat others with kindness without expecting anything in return.

Treat your loved ones with patience, compassion, and dignity. Be there for them when they need your help and support. Show them that their feelings, opinions, needs, wishes, and problems have a meaning for you.

And most importantly, do all of this without expecting anything in return. And when your loved ones do something for you, remember to recognize their efforts and show your gratitude to them. Everyone deserves to know that they are appreciated.

2. Always remember that nothing lasts forever.

Nothing you have in your life is permanent. Not your house. Not your job. Not your car. Not those who mean the world to you.

Therefore, make sure you spend more quality time with the people you love and make sure they know how much you appreciate that they’re a part of your life.

3. Show your love with small gestures.

You don’t have to buy someone expensive gifts every month or take them out for dinner at a stylish restaurant so that they know how much you love them. Kissing your friend or partner on the forehead, buying them their favorite box of chocolates, or just telling them, “I love you” while you’re watching a movie together will mean to them a lot more than showering them with lavish gifts.

4. Never prioritize your work and problems over your loved ones.

Oftentimes, we get so preoccupied with our work and our worries that we start neglecting the people who are close to us.

What you should remember is that if you always put the people who mean to you last on your priority list, one day, when you look back on these moments, you’ll regret not spending more time with your loved ones.

PCOS and Fertility: Tips to Help You Get Pregnant

By
Elizabeth Williams

Do you feel ready to have a baby? Or maybe you already have a kid but want to add to your family. No matter whether you are going to be a first-time mom or you already know what to expect, there is still a lot to do before getting pregnant. If you have tried many times without success, there might be an underlying reason. Missing periods or have an irregular cycle? Gained a significant amount of weight? Or maybe it is oily skin and acne that bother you. All those are indications that you could have PCOS.

What is PCOS?

PCOS or polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition that is not as bad as it sounds. It is a hormonal disorder common among women of all ages. Women with PCOS may experience prolonged or infrequent menstrual periods or excess male hormone levels. Women with this condition have enlarged ovaries, who over time, develop numerous small collections of fluid and fail to release eggs on a regular basis. With all this being said, it is common that women with PCOS experience missing or irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and other side effects.

Causes for PCOS & Complications

The exact cause for the disorder is not yet known. Factors that might play a role though include excess insulin, low-grade inflammation, heredity, and excess androgen. If left untreated, the condition can cause the following: infertility, miscarriage, premature birth, gestational diabetes, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, and anxiety among others.

So how to get pregnant PCOS? The good news is that you CAN get pregnant, but it will take some time and commitment. There are a few time-tested approaches to help you achieve your objectives. However, know that every woman is different, so different approaches work for different people. Below, we will share just a few tips on how to easily conceive when you have this condition.

  • Tip #1: Stop taking birth control pills.

This is one of the obvious things to do when considering making babies. To get the results you so dearly desire, we recommend you stop taking hormonal pills long before you are ready to get pregnant. Sometimes it takes months, even years for cycles to regulate and ovulation occurs every month. The earlier you stop taking birth control pills, the more time your body will have to settle. 

  • Tip #2: Get on a healthier diet.

And when speaking of healing, food is the #1 way to heal and detox your body naturally. Not without a good reason, some cultures consider food as medicine. The right fruit and vegetables will nourish your body, balance your blood sugar and hormone levels, and help you boost your fertility. To get the most out of it all, we also suggest you start taking supplements, vitamins, and practice self-care. Sign up for yoga or start practicing meditation. This will not only heal your body but your mind and soul too. 

  • Tip #3: Track your cycles and use test strips to confirm ovulation.

Once you stop taking contraception pills and your cycle regulates, it is time to start tracking it. When you learn how long your cycles are, you will find it easier to calculate the time of your possible ovulation. Get some urine test strips from the local pharmacy and start checking monthly. The test will indicate the right moment to start working on the matter. With this information, you will know which 4 are your most fertile days, and you can maximize your chances of getting pregnant naturally!

Of course, there are plenty of other things you could do to make it easier for you to conceive. Take hormone panel blood tests every 3 to 6 months, check your thyroid for optimal function, and healing your gut are only a few of the other things you should add to the list.

The best home kit for stress

By
Elizabeth Williams

Stress. It’s something that’s prevalent in our lives whether we like it or not. It comes and goes in waves, and we all deal with it differently, but how does stress affect our physical bodies? Our mental well being? Well, cortisol, the stress hormone, is the key to that question.

Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands which sit above your kidneys. Cortisol causes and maintains a lot of different processes in your body. It stores fat, energy, but most importantly its levels are attributed to stress. The most stressed out you are, the higher your cortisol levels will be and thus, the more fat you’ll store, and the more energy you’ll lose.

Having high cortisol levels isn’t only linked to stress, it leads to mental illness. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, are all byproducts of having out of control cortisol levels. In fact, stress can also lead to physical changes in the body like lower bone density, lower immune function, and an increase in blood pressure which we all know leads to higher risk of heart disease.

Fortunately, doctors are researching various ways we can control stress and mental illness. However, the best thing you can do is a Cortisol Home Test Kit, because after you do it you’ll know what times of day your cortisol levels are highest and therefore, when you’re likely to be more stressed out. Then you’ll know what activities and people to avoid until your levels become normal again. You’ll also be able to take preventive measures in managing stress and mental illness.

Description

The MTHFR Cortisol Home Test Kit will help you measure your cortisol levels and give you detailed information about when to avoid stress. After you make your order you’ll receive the home test kit which includes four vials. The four vials must be filled with saliva and be marked with the specific time of day you took each sample.

The first sample should be taken within 30 minutes of waking up before you brush your teeth. The second sample should be taken before lunch. The third sample should be taken and round five in the afternoon, and the last one should be done before bed. Remember not to take any cortisol medication like cortisol cream while making the samples. You should also avoid caffeine, chocolate, caffeinated tea, or any other stimulant that would affect your cortisol levels.

After you’re done, put the vials in the bag provided and await your results. Look at how easy that was. You didn’t even need to leave your home!

Benefits

Getting tested for cortisol levels is extremely important. Not only for your physical health, but for your mental health. We live in a very technologically fast paced world and it’s easy to get stressed throughout the day, and then turn to unhealthy behaviors to cope with it. Not to mention the toll stress takes on your physical well being. So get tested and find out how you can avoid getting stressed and live your best life.

Beyond the Hangover: The Mental Effects of Alcohol

By
Elizabeth Williams

While drinking can be fun, excessive drinking can cause turmoil for your mental health. Here are the mental effects of alcohol and how to stop drinking.

More than 15 million people struggle with alcohol use disorder in the U.S. To make matters worse, only 8% of these people receive proper treatment.

You might think that vomiting, nausea, and headaches are the worst effects of drinking alcohol. Well, you’re wrong! The effects of alcohol go beyond the hangover.

While it’s true that alcohol can help you socialize at a party, excessive drinking can cause turmoil for your mental health. Here are five mental effects of alcohol and how to stop drinking:

  1. Memory Impairment

Excessive drinking makes your brain to process information slower as well as stops the brain from recollecting memories. This impairs the general intellectual functioning of the brain.

This is why most people wake up the next day after drinking hardly remembering the activities that transpired the previous night.

  1. Brain Disorders

Wet brain, scientifically known as Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS), is a brain disorder that affects up to 90% of chronic alcohol users. This condition occurs when the excess alcohol in your body interferes with your body’s ability to absorb and convert thiamine. The end result is a deficiency of Vitamin B1 in the brain.

Lack of Vitamin B1 can make you hallucinate, have vision impairments, and lose muscle coordination. If untreated, this brain disorder can lead to permanent brain damage.

  1. Shrinks the Brain

Excessive drinking causes faster brain aging. In fact, taking as little as four drinks in a span of two hours lowers the volume of gray matter in the brain. This is the part of the brain that houses nerve-cell-rich brain tissues.

A lower volume of the gray matter means fewer nerve fibers that transmit signals to the brain. This may result in severe memory problems.

  1. Depression and Anxiety

Being an alcoholic can lead you into depression and/or anxiety since excess alcohol imbalances your body’s hormones and feelings. Though excessive drinking will suppress negative feelings, its effects don’t last forever.

Many consider committing suicide or crime when they feel like the alcohol isn’t working anymore. This happens their bodies build up the tolerance for alcohol. If you find yourself depressed and thinking of committing self-harm, look for help at an alcohol treatment facility near you.

  1. Anti-Social Behaviors

Chronic users of alcohol often find themselves alone because they tend to be aggressive and impulsive in social environments. If you’re anti-social and drink excessive amounts of alcohol, you might find it hard to cope with others because of the stress, anger, and shame.

Get Help for These Mental Effects of Alcohol

If you’re suffering from any of the above mental effects of alcohol, it’s recommended to find help as soon as possible. Talk to your friends and family, remove all alcoholic temptations in life, and find a hobby to keep you busy. Don’t forget to live a healthy life.

How to Use Essential Oils for Aromatherapy (For an Improved Mind and Healthy Body)

By
Elizabeth Williams

If you’ve joined the aromatherapy trend, it’s high time to start using essential oils. 

These guys are incredibly versatile – they can be used to wake you up, calm you down, boost your memory, and so much more. 

The trick, of course, is knowing how to use essential oils for aromatherapy. This guide can help. 

Inhalation

One of the most popular ways to use essential oils in aromatherapy is through inhalation. It’s like taking a fresh breath of vibrancy and calm. 

A common way to do this is by using an oil diffuser. There are four main types of diffusers: 

  1. Heat diffusers
  2. Nebulizer diffusers
  3. Ultrasonic/humidifying diffusers
  4. Evaporative diffusers

Heat diffusers take water with a few drops of essential oil and apply heat. As the water heats up and evaporates, it releases the oil into the air with it. 

Nebulizer diffusers are the most powerful type of diffusers. There’s no heat and no water. Instead, the diffuser uses an atomizer to create fine particles of the essential oil, which it then blow into the air. 

Ultrasonic or humidifying diffusers are similar to nebulizing diffusers, but they rely on water to create a cool mist. They double as a humidifier, which is good for the winter. 

Finally, evaporative diffusers use a fan to increase airflow across a pad soaked in essential oil. As the oil evaporates, the fan blows the scent into the air. 

Of course, if you want a quick fix of essential oils and don’t have a diffuser, you can do it the old fashioned way – spray some in the air. 

Topical Use

Another popular option is topical use, in which essential oils are rubbed into the skin. 

However, you should always be careful to dilute your oils before applying them to your skin, and always remember that less is more. Essential oils are absorbed through the skin, and too much oil can result in an overdose. 

In addition, some oils (lavender and tea tree oil) can interfere with certain medications, so you should always check with your doctor to see if there are any you should avoid. 

If you decide to try topical use, always test the oil first to make sure your skin isn’t allergic to it. To do this, add one drop of essential oil to 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil and apply it to your arm. If the area turns red or you experience any burning or itchiness, avoid that oil. 

Choosing the Right Oil

There’s so much information about oils that it’s tricky to know what does what. 

If you’re wondering, “Does it really work?” the answer is yes – as long as you choose the right oil for the job. 

Tea tree oil, for example, has long been cited as a treatment for burns and skin irritation to promote healing. Peppermint has long been used to wake people up, while cinnamon can boost focus. 

When in doubt, start with oils you can recognize – lavender, peppermint, lemon, orange, etc. You already know what they smell like. 

Figuring Out How to Use Essential Oils for Aromatherapy

Figuring out how to use essential oils for aromatherapy is mostly a matter of trial and error. Find the method you like, find the oils you love, and you’re ready to go. 

What’s your experience been with essential oils? What works for you? Let us know in the comments below!

10 Ways To Raise A Happy Child

By
Elizabeth Williams

Raising a child isn’t a walk in the park, but how you raise a child in their early years will directly affect how they perceive themselves and the world throughout their life. It’s therefore incredibly important to foster their happiness as much as possible to give them the best chance in life.

To raise a happy child, consider the following 10 tips.

  1. Praise your child’s efforts

Praising your child is very important because self-esteem and confidence are linked to happiness, but you should be careful to praise the right things. You should never expect perfection from your child because it’s counterproductive. Instead of praising the result or outcome or something you should praise the effort and the journey. If a child knows the value of the effort they give and how it matters just as much – if not more – than the outcome, they will be more fulfilled and, in turn, happier.

  1. Allow room for failure

Truman Capote once wrote, “Failure is the spice that gives success it’s flavour” and while this is an important notion for adults to grasp, children should also understand the benefit of failure and why it’s important. If your child doesn’t understand that’s it’s OK to fail at things and that being “perfect” is unrealistic, they will find more joy in their successes and lead a happier life.

  1. Encourage outdoor play

Outdoor play is extremely beneficial for young children. It can enhance their cognitive wellbeing as well as their social and emotional skills. It can also spark creativity, curiosity and joy. The more play time a child has, the happier they will be.

Physical activity is important for your child’s growth and development, and outdoor playhouse for kids can play a huge role in getting them to move around outside. With all of the running, climbing, crawling, and sliding they’ll do, it’s helps them to keep their bones the muscles, hands, and legs strong and healthy as well as their overall growth. And also, it encourages kids to get away from the video games and TV and play outside in the fresh air with other children.

You should also enrol your child in a top quality child day care centre in Kairong that encourages outdoor play and promotes a positive environment.

  1. Allow them to be bored

No one – especially a child – likes to be bored. However, being bored forces us to learn, to think creatively and to find pleasure in new things – all of which greatly benefits young children as it enhances their cognitive development.

  1. Give them responsibilities

Having responsibility, a purpose and a sense of belonging is the essence of happiness. By giving your child responsibilities – however small – they will feel like they are contributing to the family, which will boost their self-confidence. For example, you could make it your child’s responsibility to set the table before dinner or to fill up the dog’s water bowl. Not only will this teach them about chores but it will make them feel more valued.

  1. Share quality time

Sharing quality time with your child is crucial, and the more loved they feel the happier they will be. Be affectionate and generous with your time. You don’t have to shower them in gifts or bribe them with toys, simply spend time cuddling them, hanging out with them and talking to them as you do day-to-day tasks (this will also give them life skills). The more undivided attention they get from you, the closer, the more supported and the more loved they will feel – three prerequisites for happiness.

  1. Instil family values

Having a strong family network is important for your child’s happiness. Even if your family is conventional, you should make it a priority to instil good family values and spend time together. For example, you should make an effort to sit down and have family dinners every evening, as this will strengthen your connection.

  1. Find your own happiness

As a parent, you should try to lead by example, especially when it comes to happiness. If you are happy, you can love and nurture your child as best as possible. Do everything you can to nurture your own happiness and your child will be happy, too.

  1. Encourage altruism

Teaching your child to be kind and helpful towards others will allow them to build a positive foundation upon which they can live a happy and healthy life. Human connection is powerful, and the more love and kindness they give, the more they will receive.

  1. Practice gratitude

By encouraging habitual practicing gratitude, your child will lead a happy life. Encourage him/her to appreciate everything they have and all of their blessings, and they won’t look for the things they don’t have. The more optimistic they are, the more goals they will achieve and the more pleasure they will get from life.

Footage Shows Police Finding Newborn Baby Wrapped In Plastic Bag In Georgia Woods

By
Riley Cooper

Police have released footage of the dramatic moment they found a newborn baby girl wrapped in a plastic yellow bag and left alone on the side of Daves Creek Road in Forsyth County, GA.

The baby girl was located after a family living in a nearby home heard her crying. When they went outside to check and saw that it was a newborn baby, they immediately called the police.

When the authorities found the baby, it was naked, covered in blood, and its umbilical cord was still attached to her. Not knowing whose she was or where she was from, investigators called the baby India.

In a statement, the sheriff’s office said that it “is continuing to aggressively investigate and to follow leads regarding Baby India. As of today, we are still receiving tips from across the country on the possible identity of ‘Baby India.’”

The police also explained that they shared the dramatic video in the hope that it’ll help them “receive credible information on the identity of Baby India and to show how important it is to find closure in this case.”

And as for the state the baby is in now, they said: “We are happy to report that Baby India is thriving and is in the care of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services.”
