SnapDragon Speaks: On Authenticity

Written by SnapDragon X. All rights reserved. Copyright 2019.  Hello, love. I’m SnapDragon. You don’t have to be around me for very long to realize that above all else, I value authenticity. I also have a pretty keen radar for fakeness. People may say the “right” things, but the proof is in the pudding, friends. What I mean is you see the real person through … Continue reading SnapDragon Speaks: On Authenticity

Why do we keep procrastinating? – Reblog

   I don’t think it’s because we’re lazy even though sometimes we are. We’re procrastinating only when we see something negative in the things we do. Doing those things would lower our current state of mind and we want to keep it “high” as long as we can.    The interesting part is that we’re not keeping our state that high because only the thought … Continue reading Why do we keep procrastinating? – Reblog

SELF CARE ISN’T SELFISH!

Provided by Madhvi from madhviledwani What you understand by self-care, is to maintain your cleanness or does is sound like to have a good manicure/ pedicure or blah blah. Self-care is not reflected by all these things, it justify that you must have a sound mind. It reflects you are healthy enough that your mind protects any unauthorized thoughts coming to your mind. How many times it … Continue reading SELF CARE ISN’T SELFISH!

How memories affect our present – Reblog

   I sometimes wonder how our past affects our present and in what way. I’m not talking about actions we did in the past which have some effects on our present. I’m talking about remembering things and situations. Our memories are as powerful in influencing our present feelings as our present day. This is how it works: we remember something from our past (positive or … Continue reading How memories affect our present – Reblog

Is Your Empathy Your Weakness Or Your Strength?

Provided by Dr. Ramya from Self Life Hacks There are various personalities around us and one of the most beautiful personalities is “The-helping personality”. These people can feel the pain of others and their distress, take a responsibility for the welfare of others and act to help them and keep them happy. If these characters match with yours then you are probably the empathetic personality or helping … Continue reading Is Your Empathy Your Weakness Or Your Strength?

The Need for External Approval – Reblog

   This need affects our lives more than we think. Most of the things we do are related somehow with this need. But first, what is this need and why it affects us so much?    This is related to one of our instinctual needs, the one of being part of a group. Why? Because in ancient times one individual could survive if he/she was … Continue reading The Need for External Approval – Reblog

The “Company” – Reblog

   Lately, I’m wondering what kind of people we want around us. Are they always the same? Does it matter how we feel? Are we choosing our interactions based on our needs? Are our interactions the ones we suppose to have?    As always, I think it depends. If we are not confident enough, we’ll be searching for outer confirmations about how should we be, … Continue reading The “Company” – Reblog

The “Having” Point – Reblog

   Have you noticed that we’re always thinking that we’ll be happy when we’ll have “that thing”? But have you noticed that we almost never go beyond that? Like, really going beyond. Have you imagined how your life is going to be if you have “that thing” or that person? If so, for how long? A day? A month? But have you ever thought about … Continue reading The “Having” Point – Reblog

Are we living in the future? – Reblog

   I’m not going to try to answer this question from a technological point of view, but rather from a psychological one. How often are we saying to ourselves that when we’ll get something we’ll be happier? How many times we’re letting the tomorrow interfere with the today? How many opportunities to be happy we’re missing just because we’re thinking about something in the future … Continue reading Are we living in the future? – Reblog

Dreams aren’t enough. What else is required?

I know I keep rambling about dreams, goals, path and passion, without which we wouldn’t be anywhere. One can work hard, but without dreams that person would get no where because he/she wouldn’t know where to get. “You’ll never reach a destination if you haven’t set it first.” – Me Okay, we established we need dreams so we can work upon them; otherwise, we work … Continue reading Dreams aren’t enough. What else is required?

Addictions – Reblog

All of us have addictions, but do we realize it? When I say addictions, I’m not talking only about substances (like drugs, nicotine or alcohol), I’m also talking about addictions to actions (like playing video games, watching movies or reading books) and addictions to certain people.    I think that, in essence, addictions are ways to briefly escape the cruel reality. All of us have … Continue reading Addictions – Reblog

The Social Media Networks Distortion – Reblog

   I’m often thinking about the impact social media networks have on our society (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, twitter and so on). How do we see them? What are we expecting from them? What kind of connection do we have with all those people?    Honestly, I’m worried about the influence of social media networks on our lives because they create expectations which cannot be fulfilled. … Continue reading The Social Media Networks Distortion – Reblog

We all are influencers – Reblog

   Yes, that’s right. I believe we all are influencers even though it’s not on that macro scale other people have (especially the well-known people). It happens without us being aware of this. We are influencing the people that spend lots of time around us and I believe it is important for us to be aware of this. Have you noticed that when some friend … Continue reading We all are influencers – Reblog

The Self-fulfilling Prophecy – Reblog

Things happen and I often hear that things happen to us. What if we somehow influence most of them? What if when a car breaks down and we blame the universe, it’s actually our fault for not doing its checks more often? What if when we get sick it’s because we haven’t paid enough attention to our health along the way? Things happen for a … Continue reading The Self-fulfilling Prophecy – Reblog
