  There are five stages in a relationship that every couple experiences and goes through. So what are these five  stages in a relationship ? These five stages are:   The honeymoon period It is the main period of romance when two people meet, and an initial attraction develops. This stage is defined by passion, love, and lust. This phase consumes the couple, where they are just into each other. Often the partners in this relationship get lost in each other and conclude that they have found the best partners. The couple has all the reasons to believe they are the perfect match.    The couple spends much time with each other on calls, texts, and even physically. They find all the reason to be together at any cost, and this stage is apparently one of the most beautiful stages of all.    In this stage, emotions dominate, and rationality takes a back seat. The partners get addicted to each other and present their best selves while ignor...

  Ask yourself if you put yourself first before anything else. Ask yourself if you feel bad when you say no. Ask yourself if it is selfish to make yourself a priority. And you will know what I am talking about.   We are wired to put others before ourselves, as this is what society has taught us. While putting others before yourself is good,  putting yourself before others  is even better.   We are all taught to live by the mantra of putting others first. But if you do it as a habit by overlooking your own needs and desires, this can lead to resentment and anger. This mindset can lead to a lot of frustration. You may feel trapped and may feel unhappy. It can be really tough to get going when your own tanks are running empty because you have ignored your needs, desires, and internal voices to put yourself first.    So, we do our daily life chores, attend to others' needs, put ourselves last, and ultimately neglect the most important person in...

  What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word office politics? Is it flattery, backstabbing, or even office gossip to make your way up by getting a promotion and bypassing your colleagues?    Yes,  office politics  are real; almost all companies and organizations are affected by workplace politics. Office politics are a harsh reality of workplace life that is sometimes very difficult to break.    So what is office politics?    Office politics is the workplace dynamics with a negative definition attached to it.

Another example is someone sucking...

  We all have this habit of comparing ourselves to others, especially in today's world, where everyone shows their best versions on social media. However, many of us try not to compare and compete but sometimes it is impossible to avoid comparing ourselves to others.    You may often find yourself making statements such as "I wish I had that kind of money to holiday every day, or I wish I could live in Alberni street downtown Vancouver."   This thing is often unconscious, but we can  train our brains  to stop comparing ourselves to others. And it is essential to prepare ourselves to stop comparing. When we do that, we motivate ourselves to be a better version while avoiding negative thoughts when we indulge in comparisons.    Yes, too much comparison leads to negative thoughts, unhappiness, and eventually to low self-esteem. And then you realize that you become frustrated because you feel that you are not good enough.    ...

  Coming out as a member of the queer community can be quite a challenge for your friend, but it can equally be taxing on you as well. Coming out can be a life event for your LGBTQ friend as they would have waited for a long to come out to you and confide in you.

But this approach can upset your friend, and it will be an insensitive thing to do when someone comes out to you.    So  what to say when someone comes out to you ?   There are a few things that you should say when your friend opens up and confesses in front of you about their orientation. And you should choose you...

  We all want to have an intimate, meaningful, and authentic relationship with our partners that is not only fulfilling but also respectful. But as you all know, love relationships are complicated and messy. They can sometimes be very fulfilling, but at times they can even become  toxic .    We often clean up the mess and  make sacrifices and compromises  to make the relationships work. But sometimes, relationships reach a point beyond repair; therefore, we need to learn to let go of them.   Many of you want to work it out! But working it out can also mean suppressing your true feelings, making undue adjustments, and sacrificing and tolerating things you do not fundamentally agree with.  It causes dissonance within you and puts you in a dilemma to choose between yourself or your relationship. And it puts you into pain, conflicts, and differences with yourself.    When you are inauthentic to yourself, you cause yourself to s...
