Staring at the ceiling for hours before you can sleep is horrible. The same goes for waking up every couple of hours. No doubt, when morning comes, you’ll be like a zombie. Worse, you are a semi-thinking zombie, knowing you have responsibilities to tend to in spite of feeling tired.

Now, waking up without understanding why you feel tired is another story. You may have fallen asleep the moment your head hit the pillow and – as far as you know – you slept through the night, but you still wake up feeling as if you had a bender the night before.

Inspiration, Personal Growth, Spirit

Yesterday, we talked about self-doubt and some questions you can ask yourself to help determine if you’re struggling with the issue. If you’re reading this, then the chances are that you have realized that you are suffering from a case of self-doubtitis. Yeah, I made that up.

Inspiration, Personal Growth, Spirit

Self-doubt is one of the major hurdles in our lives, which truly stops us from reaching our full potential and achieving what we want. We may jokingly talk about those “voices in our heads”, but they are real. When we psych ourselves up before an important presentation, that’s a voice in our head egging us on. When we feel low and think that we can’t do anything right, that’s also a voice in our head.
