PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)

I was surprised when I found out not quite a lot of people know what “PMS” means....
PMS stands for Premenstrual Syndrome.
It’s the combination of the physical, behavioral and emotional symptoms many female experience in the days or weeks before their period starts.
The Most Common Symptoms of PMS are:

Emotional/Mental:
1. Mood swings
2. Sadness or Crying spell
3. Anxiety
4. Trouble concentrating

Physical:

1. Weight gain
2. Fatigue
3. Breast tenderness
4. Food cravings
5. Headaches
6. Cramps and body pains

Behavioral:
1. Irregular sleeping habit (too much or not enough sleep)
2. Change in appetite or loss of appetite
3. Social withdrawals

All of this symptoms and more just makes you feel like your body isn’t yours anymore, and you are most times overwhelmed be it.
But here is what you would do to make the process a lot less painful;
Drink enough water. Romanticise your rest. It can be annoying I know. Take your magnesium. Wear loose clothes. And please stop arguing with people during PMS.

Stop Chasing People Who Don't Choose You

There is a quiet kind of pain that comes from trying to stay in places where you are not truly wanted. It is the pain of over-explaining yourself just to be understood. The pain of trying harder than everyone else just to be noticed. The pain of loving someone who never really chose you in the first place. Many of us have been there. We convince ourselves that if we try a little harder, love a little deeper, or show a little more patience, things will eventually change. We believe that someday the person will finally realize our worth. But the truth is far more difficult to accept. You cannot convince someone to value what they have already decided to overlook. When someone sees you as an option rather than a priority, no amount of effort from you can change that. And the longer you stay in that situation, the more it begins to affect your self-worth. Slowly, you start shrinking yourself just to fit into spaces that were never meant for you. You begin to tolerate the bare minimum...

Things Won’t Get Cheaper — You Have to Get Richer

If we are being honest to ourselves, we would see that prices aren’t getting cheaper or going down anytime soon. From food items to house rent to children upkeep to fuel, the cost of living and so on, It's so surreal that these things are on a steady incline. And it’s easy to feel surprised by this new development, but here’s a heavy truth we need to embrace: “Things won’t get cheaper. You have to find a way to get richer.” You can complain about the cost of living — or you can level up. "Choose your medicine". This isn’t about being selfish, it’s about surviving, having financial stability, and freedom. The world we live in today is changing so fast, and the best thing to do for ourselves and family is to stop complaining and get used to it. And this means you: * Increasing your earning potential — earning more from what you do. * Diversifying your income — building extra streams of income. * And leveling up your skills — learning sk...

Busy Isn’t the Problem — Priority Is

W e’ve all heard it before: “I’ve just been really busy.” And sometimes, that’s true. Life happens. Work piles up. Energy runs low. But the truth many people avoid is this — busy is rarely the real problem. The real problem is priority. People don’t forget to reply to those they truly respect. They may delay, but they don’t disappear. They don’t leave conversations hanging indefinitely. They don’t make you feel like asking for their time is asking for too much. At some point, silence stops being accidental and starts becoming intentional. We all choose where our energy goes. Every single day. We choose what to respond to, what to show up for, what to make time for, and what to postpone. When someone consistently has time for everything else but you, that’s not a scheduling issue — that’s a decision. One of the most dangerous things we can do to ourselves is getting used to people's inconsistency. We start normalizing slow replies, broken promises, and half-effort communication. ...
