MIND BATTLE: Fighting Deep Rooted Beliefs and Trauma

The mind battle is not limited to our conscious mind; it extends to our subconscious. Deep-rooted beliefs, traumas, and unresolved emotions can resurface in the form of internal struggles. Reconciling with these aspects of ourselves requires self-awareness, and sometimes professional guidance. However, mind battles can also manifest as the struggle between rationality and emotions .  Our logical mind will always clash with our desires and fears leading to conflicting perspectives. This unstableness often results in a battle between what we think we should do and what we truly want to do. We've all had times where we doubted the best decisions we've made. Fear not, you are not alone in this we are all in this together. There are times I have strongly doubted my decisions. Know this, it's natural; It is the battle of your mind going on, a struggle in the inward part of you. This is the point where you cannot think clearly or straight: Your mind and heart are engaged on a tus...
  YOU ANALYSE TOO MUCH Analysis is a part of life that must be done. The word analysis can be exchanged for the word fact gathering. Whoever seeks to succeed and be great must first analyse/ gather facts of his life, his desired destination and the tools available to reach the desired end. However, because analysis is good doesn't mean you must remain at that point. Analysis is a stage on the journey to success but if you dwell there you'll go nowhere. There is the place of action, the place of moving. After the much analysis and fact gathering, take action, move;  because if you don't move no one will do it for you. Too many of us have platued at the point of analysis, we have expended energy with the task of gathering facts, studying the pros and cons of the journey that we have  no more energy to move. YOU TALK TOO MUCH Most times , we expend energy talking and doing nothing. The time spent in talking if translated  into action  would propel us towards our...

COUNTERING DEPRESSION: with Food and Everything In Between.

I had just finished writing the rough draft of what would later become the chapbook In Conversations. I was also in the middle of a school project when it came. At first, it was just a headache and a fleeting sense of emptiness. But it progressed. Minutes later, I was rolling on the floor my hands on my face moaning about the wretchedness of life and how I would never be creative again. For me, this was business as usual. Many creative writers affirmed they felt this way after a good write period and others revered this down slide. They felt if you did not go down, you would never come up. The problem was, I was genetically prone to suicidal thoughts. My mother, cousin, extended family had this fear and bitter relationship with depression . It was not a good place for me. I had been feeling this way and did nothing but bear it but that day? I hit twitter. I typed my question and waited: How do you counter this feeling of emptiness and depression after you have worked on a big pr...
