Projection or Fruedian projection is a psychological defense mechanism. Defense mechanisms are used to cope with feelings and emotions that we have trouble expressing or coming to terms with. Projection is the process of displacing ones feelings onto someone or something else. Unconscious discomfort can lead people to attribute unacceptable feelings or impulses to someone else to avoid confronting them. Projection allows the difficult trait to be addressed without the individual fully recognizin...

Do you sometimes find yourself just staring at your pupper overwhelmed with love and think “I wonder if my dog knows how much I love him?

Your job doesn’t define you; your job does not define your self worth. You are defined by your values, your truth, and your intentions. What are you doing this all for?

But it doesn’t have to be unhealthy and toxic. Healthy jealousy is possible. Here are ways to overcome it. I love love love hearing from you! Tag @after30withcaraeriguel @caraer...

There are two broad reasons why some people cannot easily allow themselves to ask for, or let love in: they are afraid of it , or they feel they don’t deserve it . Consider the possibility that you may fear intimacy. You may feel unsafe and so deprive yourself of the gift of closeness. Preparing for love is an incredibly arduous journey of self-discovery, character building, and awareness. It is definitely the road less traveled, but so worthwhile in the end. I’m excited for you, and even more e...

Our ‘internal dialogue” or how we talk to ourselves is influenced by our subconscious mind. It reveals our inner thoughts, beliefs, questions and ideas. If we’re not aware of how we talk to ourselves, we may often feel like we are always out of control and overwhelmed by our emotions, thoughts and tasks. If you change the way you think, you change the way you feel. If you change the way you talk to yourself, you take control of how you deal with, and get through, your emotions, fears, thoughts a...

"Be thankful for every heartbreak, for they were planned. They come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. Their purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life. And you do." —Unknown” We’ve all had our hearts broken one way or another, and it’s in how you get through it (not nec...

Sabi nga ni JK Rowling, “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you lived so cautiously that you might as well have not lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.” Traditionally, we are all taught at a very young age that failure is bad, and as a result, we all become afraid to fail. Now that we’re adults, we realize failure, as much as it hurts, is a huge part of life—necessary even— to our growth and better understanding of life itself. Ask yourself, what is...

Freelancing is fun and exciting, and scary and most of the time unsure.

'Tis the season of reunions and some (or a lot) of drinking is usually involved. This used to be something I looked forward to in my teens and early to mid 20’s. One of my strengths, in fact, was being able to hold my liquor. This was something I was proud of in my younger years; and bouncing back the next day like nothing happened was a thing. In recent years, the case has been quite the extreme opposite. I get tipsy after a glass of wine , and will be hungover and useless for the next 2 days. ...
