The Art of Detachment and Its Value To Your Well-Being
Detachment, I think it’s a word worth exploring and writing about when it comes to your well-being. This may seem the opposite of what you need in life since part of what gives life meaning is the connections and attachments that we have to certain things but whether you recognize this or not, there is a certain level of detachment that we must have for things and people if we are to be mentally and emotionally sane and this is what this post will be about. The art of detachm

You Need to Make Room For Everything
I wrote a post last year about what does it mean to be a positive person and I wrote that being a positive person doesn’t mean that you are always happy and that you just ignore everything that is going on. What I didn’t mention is that truly positive people are the ones who make room in their life for everything, the good and the bad. Making room for everything is so beneficial for your overall well-being and this is what today’s post is about. Depending on the kind of perso

The Purpose of Disappointments
Disappointments…..it’s just one of those things that we will get for as long as we live because they are a part of life. It sucks to be disappointed but they are a part of life and it is necessary to accept this. So if this is part of life, then what is the purpose of disappointments? That’s what I would like to discuss in today’s post. There are different kinds of disappointments. Some disappointments will come from people, others from circumstances. Some will come from ours

“Uplift Yourself”
Today as I’m sipping on my favorite brand of tea “Yogi tea”, I read the message that comes with the tea and it reads “Uplift others and uplift yourself”. The part that caught my attention was the “uplift yourself”. With so much that is going on in my life, it can be quite a challenge to uplift myself as I am sure that it is the same for others as well and so I thought of this importance after I read this. There will be times in your life where others may not necessarily be th

The Necessity of Having Passion in Life
Passion is a word that is most used in regards to love or lust. However, did you know that in order to have a life full of meaning and purpose then passion is a must? This is what today’s post is about. Passion is so necessary when it comes to life because passion is what can provide you with the fuel that you need in order to get things done.

Embrace Your Humanness
There will be times where you will make mistakes from time to time. There will be times where you will feel like you can’t seem to get things together. There will be times where you will feel more emotional. There will be times where you will not feel like yourself. When we have times like these, we sometimes tend to be hard on ourselves. I know this very well because I can be the queen of being so hard on myself. For example, when it comes to languages I tend to want to be a

Delight Yourself In Your Imperfections
This is a big one for me, especially when in comes to languages since I am also passionate about languages and those who know me knows how I tend to be a perfectionist with that. What makes me write this post today is that I just did a show since I am now on blogtalkradio (you can check out the shows at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/auraemartinez) and today I was being a bit critical of myself as I was listening to myself. I afterwards said to myself “Oh well, I’m going to be
