Betrayal and Loyalty: Two Sides of the Same Coin. Will I Ever Trust Again? 💔🤝

Betrayal and disloyalty can cut deeper than any physical wound. It’s a painful reality that many of us have faced, often from those we least expected. Ironically, the very people who have been the most loyal and devoted can sometimes become the ones who betray us. It’s as if their own experiences of hurt have led them down a path where they feel they must protect themselves at all costs.

For those who have been betrayed, the scars run deep. They may have once opened their hearts wide, trusting others with their vulnerabilities, only to find that trust shattered. This can lead to a profound sense of disillusionment, causing them to close off and guard their hearts fiercely. The fear of getting hurt again can be overwhelming, and it takes time—sometimes a long time—to rebuild that trust.

It’s important to remember that this guardedness is not a reflection of their character but rather a protective mechanism born from pain. They’ve loved deeply and been hurt deeply, and now they tread carefully, weighing every connection with caution. It’s a journey that requires immense courage, as they navigate the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-preservation.

When they do find the strength to trust again, it’s a beautiful thing. They pour their hearts into relationships, often giving everything they have for the cause or the person they believe in. Their loyalty is fierce, and their commitment unwavering. They understand the value of connection, having felt the sting of betrayal, and they choose to love wholeheartedly despite the risks.

To those who have been hurt, know that your feelings are valid. It’s okay to take your time to heal and to be cautious about who you let into your life. Surround yourself with those who understand your journey and who will honour your heart. Remember, it’s not about how quickly you trust again, but about finding the right people who deserve that trust.

And to those who have betrayed, it’s never too late to reflect on your actions and seek to make amends. Understanding the impact of disloyalty can lead to growth and change, not just for yourself but for those you’ve hurt. 💔

In the end, we are all human, navigating the complexities of relationships and emotions. 🫂
Let’s approach each other with kindness, compassion, and understanding.
Trust 🤝 may take time to rebuild, but when it does, it can lead to the most profound connections.
Let’s cherish 👏 those moments and honour the journey it takes to get there. 🌱✨

#### **The Perils of Arrogance: When Thinking You Know It All Leads to Isolation** 🚫🤔

Let’s have a chat about something that often goes unnoticed but can have serious consequences: arrogance. We’ve all encountered that person who struts around like they’ve got all the answers, treating others as if they’re beneath them. It’s a common trap, and while it might feel good to be on a pedestal for a moment, the reality is that this illusion of knowledge can lead to some pretty painful outcomes.

First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: nobody knows everything. The world is vast, and there’s always something new to learn. When you adopt an arrogant mindset, you risk shutting yourself off from valuable insights and perspectives. You might think you’re the smartest person in the room, but in reality, you could be missing out on the wisdom that others have to offer. It’s like trying to navigate a maze with your eyes closed—you might think you’re making progress, but you’re likely just going in circles.

Now, let’s talk about how arrogance affects relationships. When you treat people as if they’re less intelligent or capable, you create a barrier that can be hard to break down. People can sense that condescension, and it often leads to resentment. Instead of fostering collaboration and understanding, you end up isolating yourself. It’s a lonely place to be when you think you’re above everyone else, and it can leave you without the support and camaraderie that come from genuine connections.

Moreover, arrogance can cloud your judgment. When you believe you know better than everyone else, you might ignore advice or feedback that could actually help you grow. This can lead to poor decision-making and missed opportunities. Remember, even the most successful people have mentors and advisors—they understand the value of listening and learning from others.

So, what can we do to combat this tendency? Start by practising humility. Acknowledge that everyone has something to contribute, and be open to learning from those around you. Ask questions, listen actively, and show genuine interest in others’ perspectives. You might be surprised at the wealth of knowledge that’s out there, just waiting for you to discover it.

In the end, arrogance may give you a temporary sense of superiority, but it comes at a cost. Embracing humility not only enriches your own life but also strengthens your relationships and opens doors to new opportunities. So, let’s choose kindness and understanding over arrogance. After all, we’re all in this together, and there’s so much we can learn from one another! ☺🫂🌟

I understand where you're coming from. Your teacher's words of wisdom is what I just described from my previous note — "surrender".
This note between us is an example of my first post. "We interpret things differently" or experience things differently. It is fine too.✌

I am not here to tell you that my way is the only way.

We all walk in different journey. If it works for you then that's all it matters. All the best!👌💯


we can agree to disagree. in order to comprehend the what-is you have to have some experience to remove your own narration or self dialogue or your own story to it or some people would say ego. "Is to surrender", "to be with the flow". In order to be in the flow, it takes "wisdom" which is a result of life's experience. It is easy to say eternal, but what is eternal is not necessarily understood the same way by others. this convo is in itself a proof of that! ☺

And that takes maturity. Even the "what-is" is the product of lessons accummulated in this lifetime! 👌🫂


it's a start 👌


follow the green man on the gif 🤣🤣🤣


do you know that mostly those who fear to love, are those who love dearly and with loyalty? the fear usually stem from previous pain and being let down by others which is normal! ☺


Love it! 👏👏👏

🌟 **We do not see REALITY; We see OUR REALITY!** 🌟

Ever notice how two people can witness the same event and walk away with completely different stories?

That’s because we don’t see reality as it is; we see it through the lens of our own experiences, beliefs, and emotions.

This idea is a gentle reminder that
>everyone has their own unique perspective. What might seem obvious to one person could be a mystery to another. So, let’s embrace this diversity! Instead of jumping to conclusions, let’s take a moment to listen and understand where others are coming from.

By acknowledging that our realities are shaped by our individual journeys, we can foster empathy and connection. Remember, the world is a richer place when we appreciate the different colors of each other’s experiences.

Let’s be kind out there!❤🫂

💯 agree. so it's time to get more protein back in my diet then! ☺


omg...this sounds amazing. will try this out. I also find less craving if I had enought protein. Otherwise, I'd crave for sugars and carbs! 😬


this sound a decent balance. when I was in full keto I forget to indulge then end up binge-eating carbs and sugar! 😓


yea, did some experiment with the quality too. It seems regardless of quality as long as it is carbs it is still giving the same. It appears I may have reaction to it. 😔


I do cardio but I am still getting the bloatness esp indigestion. 😔


so was not just me then 😬


yeah, I was on keto for almost 2yrs but maintaining it was quite a struggle. however, I nevr had any bloatness. Only when I decided to  try to slow add carbs back into my diet that bloatness came back and heart burn/indigestion. 😔


yeah never thought of this. Will defo look into it. ta! 👌


defo worth celebrating! 🥳🥳🥳

Love it when you say the "How" - Divine will make it works.

Why? People are not comfortable saying this because not everyone is comfortable to the "unknown". So it is refreshing to see this! 👌☺


nostr:nprofile1qqszd44fgen4ucpl3hjt7muuaazzqdahp3lwu9c07phdweelcdxf3ugpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7ddeqs5 - oddly this post reminded me of you. I think because you are very creative. How do you overcome creativity block? ☺


💯 spot on. It is always "why" that gets you through rough time. I always ask my mentees what are their why because otherwise, they won't last without it. 👌😉


#### Having a "creativity block"? You may need some of these doses to get your **mojo** back:

- Have you had enough sleep? Sometimes, when we do not get enough sleep, our brains are foggy, and we feel constantly tired. The last thing your brain wants is to create.
- Are you feeling stressed lately? This can definitely block your creativity because you are in a fight-or-flight mode.
- Have you been out in nature and gotten some sunshine? Nature is therapeutic; it grounds you and helps you recharge by simply being in nature.
- Have you been sitting and not moving for the entire day? When you move, your brain grooves. It gives you that serotonin hit—happy chemicals. This is very good for your creativity.
- Get some inspiration elsewhere. Try watching something funny to take your mind off what to create. Sometimes, overthinking can create too much pressure, which then leads to stress.
- Journaling is an amazing way to get your mojo back. Express anything you want to say that is solely for you. Having this space to express yourself is very therapeutic.
- Self-hypnosis or meditation: both work by spending time with your inner self and facing what has been bothering you. Get to the bottom of why you are struggling. Most often, the answer is right before you, so give yourself time to reflect. Self-hypnosis or meditation is great for this.

How do you get your "mojo" back? Let me know in the comments! 👇 ☺

If you do not enjoy your work, that is called 'stress.' If you enjoy what you do, then it is called 'passion.'

Yes, you can run out of passion, and that is fine too. What is important is that you continue to try new things so you can discover new sources of joy. Remember, you always have options.

honest confession, I feel you. When I open my feed with no filter, simply global: everyone is on either politics or money related content. Yes, we are the algo and I spent incredible time on here finding the people other than those topics. Don't get me wrong, I have no issues with politics nor investments. They are crucial but if it is always on your face and searchability of other topics are not that easy, it can get too much.

I realised if not all, most of my colleagues were also broken. But they had to stay because they were convinced it is their only options. 😔


ty for sharing 🫂


AI with a sense of humour! 🤣👏


##### I Got My Sh*t Together! Or Do I? 🤔

Absolutely not! If you need a life coach who is perfect, put together, and knows everything, then that's not me!

I chose this career because I have made so many mistakes that I couldn't count, and I will continue to do so.
Are you familiar with the 12 Steps to Overcome Alcohol? The 12th step is to share it with others who are struggling too! The same is true for me.

My first client as a past life regression practitioner made me realise that what I thought was an awful and dreadful life of mine was nothing compared to my clients'.
Does this mean that my pain and sorrow are not valid? Absolutely not. It means I am seeing my life through a different lens. Every pain and misfortune often leads to a new journey, a new discovery of myself.

So no, I don't have my life figured out. In fact, I am simply winging it. Does this mean I do not have inspiration? Of course not. I have plans and goals. But I no longer tie myself so much to the outcome. Whatever comes will come. I am not fixated on the outcome. I do my utmost to surrender to the "what is." Otherwise, I will fall into the trap of anxiety and depression again.

Whether you follow me for my content or you are contemplating trying my service, know this:

>I do not know everything and will never know everything. But what I can share with you is this: every piece of content and every bit of help I share is the result of the lifelong lessons I have accumulated in this lifetime!

**I hope I don't see you in my practice, but if I do, I hope you don't share it with anyone!** ☺🫂

See you around and take care! ❤

Yours truly,
M💋

### Episode 4: The Addiction of Seeking Approval — Fear of Failure 🚫😟

Have you ever felt that gut-wrenching fear of failing? It’s a feeling that can paralyse us, making us second-guess our decisions and hold back from pursuing our dreams. In a world where success is celebrated and failure is often shamed, the fear of failing can become an all-consuming addiction. This fear not only stifles our growth but also distorts our perception of failure itself. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the need to succeed or the dread of disappointing others, you’re not alone. Let’s delve into the fear of failure and explore how it can shape our lives and choices.

*If you missed our previous episode, where we examined the cultural and societal pressures that fuel our addiction to seeking approval, be sure to check it out [here](https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0sfsy9pn03xqavxs3typ6jwjk6yewtaqaw28mqxtf75zs3cz7z0qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumrwv96jumn9wshsygzh9xkejxn7pjugjuww6g6gwkqs27gd2ytq5zdj95xc7ww2wck7zypsgqqqqqqsh3zv93).*

#### The Stigma of Failure 🚷

From a young age, we are conditioned to view failure as a mark of inadequacy. Society bombards us with messages that equate failure with being unworthy or not smart enough. This stigma can create a toxic mindset, leading us to believe that if we fail, we are somehow less deserving of love, respect, and success. The fear of failure can become so overwhelming that it stops us from taking risks or pursuing our passions, trapping us in a cycle of self-doubt and inaction.

#### The Illusion of Perfection ✨

In our quest for approval, we often chase an unattainable ideal of perfection. We wear masks to hide our vulnerabilities, projecting an image that aligns with societal expectations rather than embracing our authentic selves. This façade may garner temporary approval, but it can leave us feeling empty and disconnected. The irony is that the more we seek to avoid failure, the further we drift from genuine connections and self-acceptance.

#### Overcoming the Fear of Failure 🔑

So, how can we shift our mindset and break free from the fear of failure? Here are some fresh strategies to help you embrace your journey and cultivate resilience:

1. **Reframe Your Perspective**: 🔄 Instead of viewing failure as a negative outcome, see it as a natural part of the learning process. Each setback is an opportunity to gain insights that can propel you forward.

2. **Acknowledge Your Feelings**: 🧠 It’s okay to feel afraid of failure. Recognising and accepting your emotions can help you process them more effectively, allowing you to move forward with greater clarity.

3. **Set Realistic Goals**: 🎯 Break your larger goals into smaller, manageable steps. This approach can reduce the pressure you feel and make it easier to take action without the fear of failing spectacularly.

4. **Embrace Experimentation**: 🔬 Treat your pursuits as experiments rather than definitive paths. This mindset allows you to explore without the weight of expectation, making it easier to learn from any missteps along the way.

5. **Cultivate a Supportive Environment**: 🤝 Surround yourself with people who encourage you to take risks and celebrate your efforts, regardless of the outcome. A supportive network can help you feel more secure in your identity and less inclined to seek external validation.

6. **Practice Self-Reflection**: 📝 Regularly take time to reflect on your experiences. Journaling can help you process your thoughts and feelings about failure, allowing you to identify patterns and areas for growth.

7. **Limit Comparisons**: 🚫 Avoid comparing your journey to others. Everyone has their own path, and focusing on your progress can help you appreciate your unique experiences without the shadow of others’ successes.

8. **Engage in Positive Self-Talk**: 💬 Challenge negative thoughts that arise when you think about failure. Replace them with affirmations that reinforce your worth and potential, reminding yourself that failure does not define you.

9. **Learn from Role Models**: 📚 Seek out stories of individuals who have faced failure and emerged stronger. Understanding that failure is often a stepping stone to success can inspire you to embrace your own challenges.

10. **Consider Professional Guidance**: 🧑🏫 If the fear of failure feels overwhelming, seeking support from a therapist or coach can provide valuable insights and strategies tailored to your unique situation. They can help you navigate your fears and develop a healthier relationship with failure, empowering you to take bold steps toward your goals.

#### Embracing the Journey 🌱

The fear of failure can be a heavy burden to bear, but it’s one you can overcome. By reframing your perspective and embracing the lessons that come with setbacks, you can transform your relationship with failure into a source of strength. Remember, every successful person has faced failure at some point; it’s a universal experience that doesn’t diminish your worth.

>As you navigate your journey, remind yourself that failure is not the end but rather a stepping stone toward growth and self-discovery. Each misstep is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and ultimately thrive.

Join me next time as we continue our exploration of self-discovery and the importance of embracing our imperfections in a world that often demands perfection. Until then, be courageous in your pursuits and cherish the lessons that come from every experience, whether it’s a success or a failure! 🌟❤

Stay tuned for last Episode! ☺

Cheers,
M💋

These are very sound advice. Data and computer are defo important the way we are moving with tech.

The compounding interest thing reminded me of an advice I'd say to my younger self: learn financially literacy as soon as I can read!

I have noticed that this was not taught in school. Unless you go for a spwcific degree or masters.

I do not use Primal for long content. Currently I am using #amethyst and #yakihonne. It works fine and seems to appear on Primal too. But Primal client does not appear to support markdown syntax unlike #amethyst. You can also use your own website for your long form or third-party and use the link. The latter is much better if you own and host your website for longevity or if you own your relay. ☺👌

excuse the typo: *happening*


sweet! ☺ I can see using it when I am in a nice tropical island with turquoise water and white sand beach. Now thinking of it. I will just live there LOL instead of slowing down the time (penny dropped)! weeeh 🤣


interesting question. Invisibility as a super power means the physics of it. But I get what you mean. I am not worried about "not seen when you want to" or missed an invite. I do not need a super power for that. It is already hapening everywhere. I had my own fair share of experience and it taught me the hard way! ☺


"Living your life to the fullest" is subjective. Of course, if you compare your way of living to someone who is more than able and not in a wheelchair, then that life may seem delusional to you when they express a positive outlook like "living life to the fullest." However, for someone who appreciates simply breathing, waking up every day, and experiencing the world through their senses, that is also living life to its fullest. We often get caught up in the trap of comparison and forget that each person's experience is unique. I can understand where you are coming from, but you can never really speak for someone unless you have lived and experienced their life the way they do. Let's be kind out there. 🫂


sounds great! would be great to hear how you find the books after reading it. Have fun out there ✌❤☺


it is indeed. You can also read Between Death and Life by the same author. However, a word of advice: if you are not ready to find out about esoteric then I would not read it. It will question the world around you and some people find it very difficult to come to terms with it. But if you are open-minded and curious then the books are for you! ☺💯


I'd say, from what I have learned: we do not see REALITY but **OUR REALITY.**  ☺🫂


So pleased someone is asking who can define hate. I have been asking the same thing. Hate is subjective. I can be offended but others find it a banter. We are complex being due to our cultural differences, upbringing, experiences, values and beliefs. Not a fan of centralise censorship because someone will always abuse whoever wield it. It is in human nature. 🫂❤


omg...! where do we get the data? how do we move forward from here? 😔💭


welcome to the #nostr tribe! 🎉👏👏👏🥳


Sorry to hear it. Working for a struggling business is not easy esp if you have been working there for a while. However, as awful and as disheartening as it may sound, I always ask myself if it is an opportunity for a change. I am an avid believer that every crises is an opportunity waiting to be found. I can hope you can see past through this situation and know that you always have the power to change your situation. ❤🫂 All the best! ☺


it's a hidden knowledge (not common). I believe mostly started the Atlantis time — unsure of the exact time but very old. It is when people started to discover their innate ability to heal one's self! ☺ You can also check Dolores Cannon's work about the Atlantis. Enjoy! ✌👌


oh I see. that is pretty good super power! You can stop anything! wow 👏👏👏


smart and sweet, I'd say! ❤👏


Now that is interesting. When you say stasis you mean unchanged and not evolved?


isn't it? To observe without being noticed (no pun intended). But no shenanigans though. 💯👌

About the healing, have you looked into esoteric? 🤔 Healing is defo a good one. 👏


yeah, I must admit, I wasn't expecting this convo to go this route (I am crying with joy!) 😂👏

you guys are impressively funny weeeh 💯😆😆😆😆


hmmmnnn I am not sure which one is worse, shirtless or no bottoms? My brain is going somewhere else!!!! weeehhh 😂

Love the marketing there, very attentive LOL 👌💯


it's different. I wonder what caused it? 🤔


I supposed you can say that. Never thought that way (eavesdrop) — you clever one LOL 👏


never thought of this! 👏 what sort of situation you think you need to slow time? (curious) ☺


I am literally tearing up laughing! no clue why but I am laughing my self off! thank you for your sense of humour tsk tsk tsk 🤣🤣🤣😅


yeah, it sounds like it 😂 you just made my night/morning LOL 🤣🤣🤣


oh?🤔 Now you have my attention. curious, what sort of questions that the past can answer? 👌👏☺


I am bursting when you say "with my clothes on" made me think of the opposite LOL 🤣
Our brain is funny ha ha ha.

I like this super power too! 💯✌


why time travel? 🤔☺

just winging it LOL 🤣

I had to find alternative ingredients though because of where I am at. Depending on the size of the cabbage too. Btw the recipes is keto-friendly (no refined sugar).

- 16 tbsp of organic coconut aminos (soy sauce alternative) - it has less sugar and salt than the original soy sauce.

- 3-4 garlic
- 17g paprika (medium spicy - depends on your tolerance) and adjust accordingly based on the amount of cabbage. This is for medium size cabbage.

- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 3-4 tbsp of xylitol (sugar alternative)
- 3 - 4 big size of white onions
- thumb size ginger
- 1 tbsp black pepper

Process:
1.) Cut the cabbage accordingly to your liking. Wash it. Put 2 tbsp of salt (I use himalayan salt)

2.) Mix the salt properly with the cut cabbage. Leave it for 2-3 hours. If you cut it small then 2 hrs will do, if big then 3 hrs will do. But I suggest, you check the cabbage every 1 hour. The objective is to extract the excess water from the cabbage using the salt which also serve as seasoning for the cabbage. You know when it is ready when you can see the water comes out and the cabbage is no longer brittle.

3.) Whilst waiting for the cabbage, do the kimchi paste. Use a blender, put the garlic, ginger, paprika, cayenne pepper, xylitol, black pepper, aminos. Blend it to create a paste. Taste the paste and adjust accordingly — is it sweet or spicy enough. Do not put salt in the paste because the cabbage is salt enough! 😂

4.) Rinse the cabbage with cold water 3-4 times. Make sure ro remove excess water.

5.) Slowly mix the paste with the cabbage. Thoroughly mix it until the cabbage is covered by the paste.

6.) Cover it in a sealed container. Put it in the fridge and let it ferment for 48 hrs. ☺

Enjoy! ❤

I find it funny. If the people owe money from the banks, they make sure they know they owed them. To some extent people unalive themselves sadly 😔 as a result of it. But if the bank go bankrupt, the state will bail them out using tax payers' money! Isn't that ironic? Or was it just me? 🤔💭

I'd say it is more so on the inner peace. Yes happiness is a state of mind. But for me, you cannot be happy if you do not have inner peace — a sense of content of you inner being regardless what is happening around. ❤☺


my pleasure 🫂 indeed it is crazy. not everyone understand the power of positivity (which is fine too 😉. some people thought that positivity is overly unrealistic. but plenty of study already showed results to our wellbeing. If I may add, being positive does not mean you are incapable of sorrow. It only means you are aware of its existence and it too shall pass. ❤☺


fair observation. if I may try to answer your question: is by staying an open mind yourself and go beyond what your logic is trying to tell you. Those people we always label as difficult, out of place, whom attack characters or call names are the most who needed our open mind and empathy. It is difficult yes, especially if it is hard to reason with them. But if the goal is to win a conversation then that in itself is setting us all to fail. Every behaviour has a story behind even the most atrocious one, we all can learn from it. Have a good one! ❤🫂


A wise decision indeed. It shows maturity. You pick and choose your battle. Not every battle worth investing. Regardless of the societal pressure to care about everything, it is your energy, your mental health and your body so you rightly so protect it! ✌☺


u r legend! ty ☺🫂👏


so spot on! ✌


💯 spot on.

>It only takes one kindness that last a lifetime esp if "life or death" is on the line. I took this from the "white bird" film and was delivered by Helen Merrin.


good point 👌. genuinely curious, if we do not have influence to the political landscape, how do you suggest we create change?


I'd say, use those accounts or platforms to drive traffic here. Let me explain. You open a store but no one knows about it other than the people within the neighbourhood. If you want to reach out beyond your town and neighbourhood, you need to have online exposure. You need somehow to use your existing accounts(tikrok, x, fb, etc) to focus about #nostr and drive them to come here. Yes, #nostr has a lot of opportunities. However, all is good for the early adopters . But for non-tech savvy, non-bitcoiners and slave to the centralised social media, it would not mean anything to them unless it affects their livelihood or affects the stuff that they truly cares — access to those platforms, family and income.
So how do we invite them? Use the same platforms to raise awareness. Btw, this strategy was used by Tiktok that made Tiktok the way it is now (one of).
People love incentives, other than censorship-resistant, what else can we offer? How do we convince people with over decades of work built on those social platform to move here? This is worth a ponder that our community must take seriously if we want to expand.
Lastly, let's not forget to focus on the  fundamental non-functional requirements for #nostr — relays' security (not long ago we were bombarded by spams and from a decent source, we have not had pentesting done for nostr).

Food for thought. 🫂❤

#### **The Pressure to Be Productive: Is it healthy or is it doing more harm?**

In today’s fast-paced world, the mantra of productivity reigns supreme. We are constantly bombarded with messages that equate our worth with our output—whether it’s the number of tasks we complete, the hours we log at work, or the projects we finish. But as we chase this relentless pursuit of productivity, we must ask ourselves: Is this obsession harming our mental health and stifling our creativity?

The pressure to be perpetually productive can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a sense of inadequacy. We often find ourselves caught in a cycle of overwork, where taking a break feels like a luxury we can’t afford. This mindset not only affects our well-being but also diminishes our ability to think creatively. When we’re constantly focused on ticking off tasks, we lose the space to explore new ideas, take risks, and engage in the kind of deep thinking that fosters innovation.

Moreover, the glorification of busyness can create a toxic culture where rest is seen as laziness. We may feel guilty for taking time off or for simply enjoying moments of stillness. This guilt can lead to a distorted view of productivity, where we equate our value with our ability to be constantly "on."

So, how do we break free from this cycle? It starts with redefining our relationship with productivity. Instead of measuring our worth by our output, we can focus on the quality of our work and the joy it brings us. Embracing rest and downtime as essential components of creativity and mental health is crucial.

👉*How do you navigate the pressure to be productive in your own life?*
👉*Have you experienced the negative effects of this obsession?*
👉*What strategies do you use to prioritise your mental health and creativity?*

Cheers,
M💋

#### **The Influence of Influencers: Shaping Reality or Distorting It?**

In the age of social media, influencers have become powerful figures, shaping trends, opinions, and even our perceptions of reality. But as we scroll through perfectly curated feeds, we must ask ourselves:

>Are these influencers providing genuine inspiration, or are they distorting our understanding of what life should be?

On one hand, influencers can offer relatable content, promote positive messages, and even drive social change. They can connect communities and provide platforms for voices that might otherwise go unheard. However, the darker side of this phenomenon is the potential for unrealistic expectations and a skewed sense of reality.

Many influencers present a polished version of their lives, often glossing over struggles and challenges. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy among their followers, who may compare their everyday lives to these highlight reels. Are we inadvertently setting ourselves up for disappointment by idolising these figures?

▶*How do you perceive the role of influencers in your life?*

▶*Do they inspire you, or do they create pressure to conform to an ideal?*

Cheers,
M💋

#### **The Comfort Zone: A Trap or a Sanctuary?**

In a world that constantly pushes us to strive for more, we often find ourselves retreating to our comfort zones. But is this sanctuary truly a safe haven, or is it a trap that stifles our growth and potential?

Many of us cling to familiar routines, relationships, and environments because they provide a sense of security. We tell ourselves that staying within these boundaries is wise, but what if this very mindset is holding us back? The irony is that while we seek comfort, we may be sacrificing our dreams, ambitions, and the chance to discover who we truly are.

>Consider this: every time we choose the easy path, we miss out on opportunities for learning and self-discovery.

The discomfort of stepping outside our comfort zones can lead to profound growth, new experiences, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Yet, the fear of failure, rejection, or the unknown often keeps us tethered to what we know.

So, what’s the solution? How do we break free from this cycle? It starts with acknowledging that discomfort is a natural part of growth. Embracing uncertainty can be daunting, but it’s also where the magic happens. We must challenge ourselves to take risks, to explore the unfamiliar, and to engage in conversations that make us uncomfortable.

👉*Is your comfort zone a sanctuary that nurtures you, or a trap that limits your potential?*
👉*What steps can you take to push beyond your boundaries?*

Cheers,
M💋

#### **Beyond Labels: The Illusions of Identity**

In a world obsessed with categorisation, we often find ourselves confined by labels that society imposes upon us. Whether it’s our ethnicity, religion, political affiliations, or even our professional titles, these identifiers can become shackles that limit our potential. We’ve been wired to believe that success is measured by these labels, creating a hierarchy that fosters division rather than unity.

Labels can provide a sense of belonging, but they can also lead us to become slaves to our identities. We fight fiercely for our beliefs, yet in doing so, we risk losing sight of our shared humanity. The directory of labels we carry can create barriers, making it all too easy to view others through a narrow lens, rather than recognising the rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives that each individual brings.

To move beyond this limiting mindset, we must cultivate an understanding that we are more than the bodies we inhabit or the labels we wear. Our true essence transcends these superficial identifiers. By embracing our commonalities and celebrating our differences, we can foster a sense of camaraderie that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.

Let us challenge the notion that our worth is tied to our labels. Instead, we can focus on personal growth, nurturing our innate potential, and recognising the interconnectedness of all beings. By doing so, we create a safe space where everyone can thrive, free from the constraints of societal expectations. Our true power lies not in the labels we carry, but in the **depth of our character and the strength of our shared experiences**.

### Episode 3: The Addiction of Seeking Approval — Cultural and Societal Pressures 🌍💔

Have you ever felt the weight of societal expectations pressing down on you, dictating how you should look, behave, or even think? In a world where cultural norms and societal pressures shape our identities, it’s easy to lose sight of who we truly are. The quest for approval can become an all-consuming addiction, leading us to conform to standards that may not resonate with our authentic selves. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the need to fit in or the fear of standing out, you’re not alone. Let’s delve into the cultural and societal pressures that fuel this addiction and explore ways to reclaim your individuality.

*If you missed our previous episode, where we examined the dangers of social comparison and how it can erode your self-worth, be sure to check it out [here](https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8fs5v955uwc33m6kkqcuel82pvsc0g5plx8nef46vdukgxmz80zqpzemhxue69uhhwmm59ehx7um5wgh8qctjw3uj7q3q2u56mxg60cxt3zt3emfrfp6czptep4g3vzsfkgksmreeefmzmcgsxpqqqqqqzludyvx).*

#### The Weight of Expectations 🎭

From a young age, we are bombarded with messages about how we should look, act, and succeed. Whether it’s through media portrayals, family expectations, or peer influences, these societal norms can create a rigid framework that stifles our true selves. The pressure to conform can lead to anxiety, self-doubt, and a constant need for validation from others.

#### The Illusion of Acceptance 🌐🪩

In our pursuit of acceptance, we often find ourselves wearing masks—projecting an image that aligns with societal expectations rather than embracing our authentic selves. This façade may garner approval in the short term, but it can leave us feeling empty and disconnected from our true identities. The irony is that the more we seek approval, the further we drift from genuine connections and self-acceptance.

#### How to Break Free from Societal Chains?🔓🔗

So, how can we liberate ourselves from the clutches of cultural and societal pressures? Here are some actionable steps to help you embrace your individuality and cultivate self-acceptance:

1. **Identify Your Values**:💫🌟 Take time to reflect on what truly matters to you. Understanding your core values can help you navigate societal pressures and make choices that align with your authentic self.

2. **Challenge Societal Norms**:🌇 Question the norms that you feel pressured to conform to. Are they truly reflective of your beliefs and desires, or are they simply inherited expectations? Embrace the courage to defy conventions that don’t resonate with you.

3. **Surround Yourself with Authenticity**: 🫶 Seek out individuals who celebrate their uniqueness and encourage you to do the same. Building a supportive community can help you feel more secure in your identity and less inclined to seek external validation.

4. **Incorporate Self Hypnosis**: 🧘While mindfulness focuses on awareness and acceptance, self-hypnosis can be a powerful tool for reprogramming your subconscious mind. By using guided self-hypnosis techniques, you can reinforce positive beliefs about yourself and diminish the impact of societal pressures. This practice can help you visualise your authentic self and instil a sense of confidence that transcends external validation.

5. **Limit Exposure to Influences**:👀🤳 Be mindful of the media you consume and the people you follow. Curate your environment to include voices that promote authenticity and self-acceptance rather than those that perpetuate unrealistic standards.

6. **Embrace Vulnerability**:🌹🥀Allow yourself to be vulnerable and share your true feelings with trusted friends or family. Opening up can foster deeper connections and remind you that you’re not alone in your struggles.

7. **Celebrate Your Journey**:📍✈ Acknowledge your progress and the unique path you’ve taken. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and recognise that your journey is valid, regardless of societal benchmarks.

8. **Engage in Creative Expression**:🎨 Find outlets for self-expression, whether through art, writing, or other creative pursuits. Engaging in activities that allow you to express your true self can be liberating and fulfilling.

9. **Educate Yourself**:📖 Learn about different cultures, perspectives, and lifestyles. Expanding your understanding of the world can help you appreciate diversity and challenge narrow societal norms.

10. **Seek Professional Support**:🤗🤝 If societal pressures feel overwhelming, consider seeking guidance from various professionals who can help you navigate these challenges. Coaches, mentors, support groups, or even trusted friends can provide valuable insights and encouragement on your journey. Remember, there are many paths to finding support, and it’s important to choose what resonates with you.

The addiction of seeking approval through cultural and societal pressures can be a heavy burden to bear, but it’s one you can overcome. By embracing your individuality and challenging the norms that confine you, you can reclaim your sense of self and find true acceptance. Remember, you are worthy of love and respect just as you are.

Join me next time as we continue our exploration of self-discovery and the importance of living authentically in a world that often demands conformity. Until then, be brave in your uniqueness and cherish the journey of self-acceptance! 🫂❤

ty I tried it and I can see a diference on my experience. Ty! 👏❤


"don't be that person who goes on some socal networks cries prejudice & demand show get canceled & hound everyone till you find ppl who agree with you".

💯 and I like how you frame. A lot of people complain what they see without realising that they have the "power to change" what they can see! 👌☺


Which one is sent/received icon? Is it the arrow  down and up?


oh? 🥶 Will do it now. Ty ✌


when someone is remorseful and they learned from their actions and by showing they have changed then that is all that matters. If someone took someone's "free will". Eg. Physical abuse, steal money or defame people then I'd say, this must be dealt with accordingly by the law. Other than this, I am not a fan of using "public sentiment" as a measurement to "cancel" someone like a means of public judgement. I do not participate in it. However, if  it comes to company, I do my best to use my own discernment whether or not to consume their products or services — not because what other people thinks but because I did my own research. ☺👌


true. when there is an opportunity, people will likely abuse that power — button to cancel!

### Episode 2: The Addiction of Seeking Approval — Dangers of Social Comparison 🌍⚖

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media, feeling a knot tighten in your stomach as you compare your life to the seemingly perfect lives of others? It’s a familiar scene: the bright smiles, the exotic holidays, the flawless bodies. But what if I told you that this constant comparison is not just a harmless pastime? It’s a dangerous addiction that can erode your self-worth and happiness, leaving you feeling inadequate and lost. If you’ve ever felt the sting of envy or the weight of seeking approval, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the dangers of social comparison and discover how to break free from its grip.

*If you missed our previous episode, where we explored how the fear of rejection can hold you back from being your true self, be sure to check it out [here](https://njump.me/nevent1qqs26vpfqc2ujy6tfpm5v6rq4jdu2acx8vxe55e596yfhrlr5arh6sqpzemhxue69uhhwmm59ehx7um5wgh8qctjw3uj7q3q2u56mxg60cxt3zt3emfrfp6czptep4g3vzsfkgksmreeefmzmcgsxpqqqqqqz55w4cc).*

#### The Comparison Trap 😩

Social comparison is a natural human tendency; we often measure our worth against others. However, when this becomes a habit, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. You might find yourself constantly seeking validation from others, believing that their approval is the key to your happiness. But here’s the kicker: this cycle can be incredibly damaging to your mental health and self-esteem.

#### The Illusion of Perfection 🌈

Social media often presents a curated version of reality—a highlight reel that showcases only the best moments. It’s easy to forget that behind those perfect photos and seemingly flawless lives, everyone has their struggles. When you compare your everyday life to someone else’s highlights, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.

This illusion of perfection can lead to a distorted self-image. You may start to believe that you’re not good enough, smart enough, or successful enough. The truth is, everyone has their battles, and no one is immune to the challenges of life.

#### Breaking Free from the Comparison Cycle 🔓

So, how do you escape the clutches of social comparison? Here are some actionable steps to help you reclaim your sense of self-worth:

1. **Limit Social Media Exposure**: Consider taking a break from social media or curating your feed to include accounts that inspire and uplift you rather than those that trigger feelings of inadequacy.

2. **Practice Gratitude**: Shift your focus from what others have to what you appreciate in your own life. Keep a gratitude journal and jot down three things you’re thankful for each day. This simple practice can help you cultivate a more positive mindset.

3. **Focus on Your Journey**: Remember that everyone’s path is unique. Instead of comparing your progress to others, concentrate on your own goals and achievements. Celebrate your milestones, no matter how small!

4. **Engage in Self-Reflection**: Take time to reflect on your values and what truly matters to you. When you have a clear sense of your own identity, it becomes easier to resist the urge to compare yourself to others.

5. **Challenge Comparison Thoughts**: When you catch yourself comparing, pause and ask, “What evidence do I have that supports this thought?” Often, you’ll find that it’s based on assumptions rather than reality.

6. **Cultivate Self-Compassion**: Be gentle with yourself. Acknowledge that it’s okay to feel insecure at times, but remind yourself that your worth isn’t determined by how you measure up to others.

7. **Surround Yourself with Positivity**: Seek out friends and communities that encourage you to be your authentic self. Positive relationships can help you feel more secure and less inclined to compare.

8. **Engage in Activities You Love**: Spend time doing things that bring you joy and fulfilment. Whether it’s a hobby, sport, or creative pursuit, immersing yourself in activities you love can boost your self-esteem and distract you from comparison.

9. **Seek Professional Guidance**: Remember, there are various professionals who can help you navigate these feelings. Coaches, mentors, and supportive friends can provide valuable insights and encouragement on your journey.

10. **Embrace Your Uniqueness**: Celebrate what makes you, *you*! Your individuality is your strength, and embracing it can help you break free from the need for external validation.

The addiction of seeking approval through social comparison can be a dangerous cycle, but it’s one you can break. By focusing on your own journey and cultivating self-compassion, you can reclaim your sense of worth and authenticity. Remember, you are enough just as you are.

Join me next time as we continue to explore the journey of self-discovery and the importance of embracing your true self. Until then, be kind to yourself and celebrate your uniqueness! 🫂❤

### **Revenge is Cancer — Is It Worth It?**

Have you ever found yourself consumed by thoughts of revenge? Perhaps someone wronged you, and the desire to retaliate has taken root in your mind, festering like a wound that refuses to heal. It’s a common human impulse, but what if I told you that this yearning for vengeance is not just a fleeting emotion? It can be as destructive as a disease, eating away at your life and well-being. In fact, the very act of holding onto revenge can manifest in ways that are detrimental to your health, even leading to conditions like cancer. So, let’s explore why revenge is not only unproductive but also harmful, and how you can break free from its grasp.

#### The Implications of Revenge

Revenge may seem sweet in theory, a way to reclaim power and restore balance. However, the reality is far more insidious. When you allow thoughts of revenge to dominate your mind, you’re essentially inviting a toxic guest into your life. This negativity can lead to chronic stress, which in turn elevates cortisol levels—your body’s primary stress hormone. Prolonged exposure to high cortisol can wreak havoc on your immune system, disrupt your sleep, and even contribute to serious health issues, including heart disease and cancer.

Moreover, revenge hinders personal growth. Instead of moving forward and focusing on your own happiness, you become trapped in a cycle of bitterness and resentment. It’s like trying to drive a car while constantly looking in the rear-view mirror—you’ll never reach your destination.

#### The Cost of Holding On

Imagine carrying a heavy backpack filled with stones. Each stone represents a grudge, a slight, or a desire for revenge. Over time, that weight becomes unbearable, affecting your mental and physical health. You may find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or even physically unwell. The energy you expend on revenge could be better used to nurture your passions, relationships, and personal development.

#### Actionable Solutions to Let Go

So, how do you release this burden and reclaim your life? Here are some compassionate, actionable steps you can take:

1. **Practice Self-Hypnosis**: This powerful tool allows you to access your subconscious mind and reframe your thoughts. Through guided imagery and relaxation techniques, you can visualise a peaceful resolution to your grievances, helping you to let go of the anger and resentment that’s been holding you back. Self-hypnosis focuses on creating a mental space where you can rewrite your narrative, freeing yourself from the chains of revenge.

2. **Engage in Mindfulness**: While self-hypnosis is about altering your subconscious beliefs, mindfulness encourages you to be present in the moment. By practising mindfulness, you can observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, allowing you to acknowledge the pain of betrayal without letting it consume you. This practice helps reduce stress and anxiety, making it easier to release negative emotions.

3. **Explore Past Life Regression**: This therapeutic technique can provide insights into your current emotional struggles. By understanding the root causes of your feelings, you can work towards healing and forgiveness, freeing yourself from the chains of revenge. It’s a unique way to explore how past experiences may be influencing your present mindset.

4. **Choose to Forgive**: It’s essential to understand that forgiveness is not about condoning the actions of those who have wronged you; it’s about liberating yourself from the burden of resentment. You choose to forgive not for the person who has hurt you, but for your own peace of mind. By letting go of the need for revenge, you reclaim your power and open the door to healing.

5. **Surround Yourself with the Right People**: The company you keep can significantly influence your mindset. Seek out friends and loved ones who encourage positivity and growth, rather than those who fuel your desire for revenge. A supportive network can help you stay focused on your healing journey.

6. **Seek Professional Support**: While therapists can be incredibly helpful, they are not the only option. Consider life coaches, support groups, or even trusted friends who can provide guidance and encouragement. The key is to find someone who resonates with you and can help you navigate your feelings in a constructive way.

In the end, revenge is a poison that seeps into every aspect of your life, hindering your growth and well-being. It’s time to recognise that holding onto these negative emotions is not worth the toll it takes on your health. By embracing forgiveness and focusing on your own journey, you can free yourself from the shackles of revenge and step into a brighter, healthier future. Remember, you deserve to live a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose—don’t let revenge steal that from you.

Cheers,
M💋

You have every right to report someone and you can exercise it. It is there for a reason. 💯


what led you to think that I may defend discrimator? Is it because I do not agree with the banning? I am curios where your thoughts at?


I got you. I agree with the block or mute if I do not want to see the content. But to kick out from the platform is what I do not agree. I believe you meant the former. It makes sense. It is individual choice which content they want to see or not. 💯


oh I see. block or mute. got it!✌ it is the same button I use. I thought there is some sort of ban button from entire protocol LOL


nostr:nprofile1qqst0nulg2nedvy3appae6ge60h5crwg9cpfg5hd7z7meh4eajunu7qpr9mhxue69uhhqmr9vfhkuefwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq3wamnwvaz7tmswpjjuumhv9ex6um5wghxxmmd9umyfzj3 - how do you do it on nostr? Most clients only mute people as far as I can see. Is there a functionality for it?


so who gets to decide what is hateful or not? Is it based on when you find it offensive or when  it does not align on your views nostr:nprofile1qqst0nulg2nedvy3appae6ge60h5crwg9cpfg5hd7z7meh4eajunu7qpr9mhxue69uhhqmr9vfhkuefwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq3wamnwvaz7tmswpjjuumhv9ex6um5wghxxmmd9umyfzj3? curious of your thoughts?


nostr:nprofile1qqst0nulg2nedvy3appae6ge60h5crwg9cpfg5hd7z7meh4eajunu7qpr9mhxue69uhhqmr9vfhkuefwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq3wamnwvaz7tmswpjjuumhv9ex6um5wghxxmmd9umyfzj3 - are you saying that you reported nostr:nprofile1qqsr836yylem9deatcu08ekfj8qj9f2aypq8ydt0w8dyng8zp8akjsqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuur0wd6x2u3wwpkxzcm99uz2gxag to be banned? Is this how I understand it?


The question was directed to nostr:nprofile1qqsr836yylem9deatcu08ekfj8qj9f2aypq8ydt0w8dyng8zp8akjsqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuur0wd6x2u3wwpkxzcm99uz2gxag.
  Now that you mentioned it, what do you mean escalated it to nostr community nostr:nprofile1qqst0nulg2nedvy3appae6ge60h5crwg9cpfg5hd7z7meh4eajunu7qpr9mhxue69uhhqmr9vfhkuefwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq3wamnwvaz7tmswpjjuumhv9ex6um5wghxxmmd9umyfzj3? Is that the same as mute or not? I am curious. 🤔


very well said! 💯👏 It is ok if you get offended, it means you need to grow more thick skin. If this is impossible, then live like a hermit! ☺ I'd say the most interesting human journey is to co-exist with other humans! I continue to learn from it every day! ☺❤🫂


salute to that! 👏💯


genuinely curious, why does it matter if he muted you? Does it affect your ability to post? If it does not affect your notes then isn't that his choice so he cannot see your post? Or am I missing something? ☺


isn't it as easy as following back or it does not work that way? I have not tried and hopefully would not do it by accident lol 🙈🤣


oh I see LOL 🤣 I take it you followed yourself back? hehehe 😂 charge to experience hey 😁


what happened if you did? is there any effect on your notes? Genuinely curious ☺


ty for sharing your story with us. If I may give my thoughts, I'd say it depends on your friendship — how much you know each other. If you know the person very well then you know what they are like when it comes to checking-in. If you are questioning yourself whether it is wrong or not to expect a response then this came off as if you are not very certain of your bond. Let me explain why. My besties for almost a decade and over 5 yrs, sometimes we do not speak for over months or not even see each other for a year or more. However, I know for certain they are well. If I checked-in with them, I do not have to worry whether it will take them sometime to respond. Unless, if it is an emergency. We know from both side when it is an emergency. This is because I know them very well, my bond with them is secure. This is a result of how I want my friendship to be. I understand some people need constant communication which is absolutely fine too.  The bottomline is it depends on how you built your friendship.

To your second question, I'd say this depends on your personality. If you say it is difficult to find new social connection then it will be. What you say or believe; either way you are right. It is up to you. Finding new connections depends on few factors, are you looking for people to hang-out f2f or online connections will do? In addition, you attract like minded people. Therefore, if you are not actively going out there either online or offline, then finding new connections is next to nothing. Friendship is like finding a lover. You need to put yourself out there and what kind of friendship you are seeking. Why would people want your company? Perhaps start a hobby or something of interests. Only then you can find new connection by working on "YOU". ☺

All best! ✌🤗

none of them I think. the word "best" to me is subjective. what metrics and who is agreeing to those metrics? at the end of the day, it is up to individual which tool is useful based on prefrences, values and budget! have a good one. ☺✌
