High Value: Misconceptions, What It Is and What It Isn’t

The High Value concept is not an a-ha! sticky note to pull out as dating strategies that have an eskewed perception of what a healthy relationship or dating should be like. Other people don’t get to decide that being a career woman, or being highly intelligent or knowledgeable, is “low value” of you – that’s their eskewed perception of what a woman should be like. And although that is generally an unhealthy mindset (because in a proper healthy relationship, both partners support each other’s growth, whether personal or professional), it is their subjective belief, one which you don’t need to argue, agree, or invest any energy in. Let them believe what they wish. You already know your value, darlings, and it’s not dependent on other people’s contorted beliefs. It’s only dependent on your beliefs on your own value. Know the difference.

How to Develop a Growth Mindset

Having a growth mindset is a way of seeing life. Although you are a masterpiece, you are not framed in a still room as decor. You are an enigma, you are a magnificent creation. You are always evolving. You can be anything you want. If you so desire, you can recreate yourself and your beliefs about yourself or the world or anything else – as many times as you want. There are no deadlines, no restrictions, no rules. This is your life, and the only rules imposed on it are yours, so make them worthwhile… Evolve into the most beautiful version of you that you can imagine. The world lies at your feet.

Why The “Ride or Die” Mentality Is Self-Sabotage

What is the ride or die mentality? It’s the mentality that you should be unconditionally loyal to the other person (whether it’s a friend, family member, or romantic partner), no matter what happens. What does this look like? If your partner goes into debt, you’re there to bail him out. If he slips up and cheats, you overlook it because he loves you so very much and apologised a thousand times. If a baby mama pops up out of nowhere, you learn to live with it (please don’t, you deserve more than being a side lady). If he has no job and needs a place to stay and he’s so nice to you, you offer to let him stay at your place for “just a few days” that eventually turn into months as he mooches off of you…

27 Red Flags of Low Value Men (LVM)

This system of values is not about qualities that people are born with. It is not something outside our power that we have either inherited or not. Instead, this system of values is something that we all develop for ourselves, choose for ourselves, create for ourselves. It is about values, beliefs and principles. It is about priorities, morals and mindset. It is about good manners, empathy and emotional intelligence. And that is the responsibility of each and every individual. And if you hold yourself to high standards, you should absolutely do the same to everything else in life, especially a partner! Here are the most common red flags of LVM, so you don’t have the learn the hard way…

How To Cultivate Inner Peace: Daily Practices

Physical clutter: Keep a clean, tidy, organized home. We often forget just how much of a negative impact that clutter, dust and stale energies can have on our wellbeing. It blocks our energies and anchors us in lower vibrations, and like a domino effect or vicious cycle, it can keep you stuck in an unhealthy place. Prioritizing a clean, tidy space can make all the difference in how you feel, your mental health, and your inner peace. If you have a stressful job or lifestyle, try implementing small steps for your home’s upkeep, start with 10-20 min every day in the evening to put away clutter, wipe down surfaces, put away dishes into the dishwasher, smooth any bedding, etc. A little improvement in your environment goes a long way, and you’ll feel so much better.

11 Keys to a Successful Mindset

1. Work smart, not hard. In other words, quality over quantity. It’s not the amount of work and time you put in, but your strategy.
2. Community over competition. You’ll go 1000x farther by taking advantage of powerful, successful people around you, instead of watching from the sidelines coveting their success. Turn them into friends instead of enemies. You gain nothing from the latter and everything from the former.
3. If they can do it, so can you. Another way to make the best of other people thriving is by following in their footsteps. If they’re thriving, it means there’s a formula to their success which you can follow.
