How can you tell if you need a break? Well, here’s an example. If someone tries to do something nice for you, yet you feel like they’re trying too hard or they’re all up in your space, it might be a sign that you’re all peopled out. Yes, you might feel bad, because you know this person has good intentions. But you just want them to stop. In Mexican Spanish, the word engentado describes this particular feeling. It refers to the feeling of wanting to be away from people after spending time with them. Although you shouldn’t let your mood dictate your manners, neither should you feel bad for wanting to disconnect for a bit. It’s not only beneficial for you, but for others, too.

It’s also very powerful to spend some time in nature. In this day and age, it’s increasingly difficult to navigate through life without technology. However, being out in nature can help to replenish and rejuvenate your entire being. A research study published in 1991 found that natural environments had recuperative effects by bringing about positive emotional states and encouraging psychological wellbeing.

Your ego is your self-image created by thought. It’s your social mask, one that constantly requires validation because it lives in fear of losing its sense of identity. When you’re upset because someone doesn’t like you, it’s your ego operating: you validate your existence based on their approval. When they disapprove of you, you no longer feel good about who you are.

Discussing problems and sharing information is fine when the intention doesn’t stem from the desire to make yourself feel superior through the belittlement of others. This provides a false sense of self and consequently lowers your vibe. There are better ways to spend your time than gossiping or involving yourself in dramas. Instead, try to focus on your own life and on trying to improve it. Time is precious and you should be investing it wisely by doing something constructive that will make your life greater.

The importance of water. It’s estimated that around 60–70 per cent of your whole body is composed of water, and it’s essential to your body’s functioning: it keeps you hydrated and flushes away unwanted toxins, and this will keep you at a higher vibrational state. If the water balance in your body falls below the necessary amount, your body will react adversely. You may be unable to focus, feel dizzy and even become unconscious.

Before you complain about school, remember that some people can’t even get an education. Before you complain about getting fat, remember that some people don’t even have any food. Before you complain about your job, remember that some people don’t even have any money. Before you complain about cleaning the house, remember that some people don’t even have any shelter. Before you complain about washing the dishes, remember that some people don’t even have any water. Before you complain about all these things on social media using your smartphone, without any consideration of how blessed you are, just be thankful for a minute.

A strong sense of self isn’t something you’re born with.
It’s something that forms over time, through confusion, experience, and self reflection.
Uncertainty isn’t emptiness it’s the process of becoming.

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you. #manssearchingformeaning @select_verse

Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive, and will come forth later, in uglier ways.

once a man finds
a mission big enough
sex stops being the center
of his whole identity.
Not because desire disappears.
Because purpose takes the top spot.
That’s when you know
he’s building something real.
He’s no longer chasing pleasure
like it’s the meaning of life.
He’s using his energy
for something higher.
