2023-06-0220 minThe Mental Dietician#66 - Are You Giving Or Are You Taking?Codependency encompasses a range of behaviors that can lead to unhealthy relationships, and one of these behaviors is caretaking. It is worth noting that while people often use the terms caregiving and caretaking interchangeably, they are distinct concepts. Caregiving is a natural expression of love and is an integral part of healthy adult relationships. On the other hand, caretaking often involves an imbalanced dynamic where there is more "taking" than giving. This is because caregiving stems from a place of abundance, while caretaking arises from need and deprivation. Understanding the continuum between caretaking and caregiving is essential. The aim...

People with healthy boundaries can say “no” to others when they want to, but they are also comfortable opening themselves up to intimacy and close relationships. Today I share the importance of boundaries not only for yourself but for those around you and how you can start setting them. Boundaries are extremely important for human beings to maintain. Without boundaries, you are likely to be taken advantage of, manipulated, abused, or “blinded” by the shallow, self-centered people we encounter in our daily lives.

Life coaches and motivational speakers can tell you how to start, but no one will tell you that the road to success will be boring. “All you have to do is start!” is great advice for someone who hasn’t started yet. But most people’s problem isn’t starting, it’s following through. Success isn’t money, a beautiful house, or a great body. It’s waking up early and running because you said you would. It’s reading books on investing and putting away money every month. And not spending it. And waiting. F...

Being uncomfortable is good for you because we must be uncomfortable in order to grow and learn. For example, if you want to become stronger physically, you must lift weights that are heavy. If you want to improve your writing skills, you should write more often rather than sit at home all day watching Netflix. Some people are naturally more comfortable being in the discomfort of trying new things in life simply because they have chosen to constantly stretch their limits...

If you take all the time in the world looking at everything that could go wrong, you may result in inaction. Sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith even though you don’t know the outcome. It’s far better to take a chance and fail rather than sit by and watch life pass you by. Excuses are an easy scapegoat for the reasons you aren’t going in the direction you want to in life.

We’ve all tried to hide how we feel to maintain the “strong” facade. We all did things that were “unlike us” to keep up with what society expects us to be. But we were doing it to serve others’ expectations of us, not ourselves. Being yourself means living life how you want to, regardless of other people’s opinions. And it means you respect yourself. Don’t worry about what others...

What society misidentifies as strength is power, and men shine at physical power. But the idea that men are stronger in an absolute or general sense is just obviously wrong. Women live longer, and fewer die young. Men’s bodies are bigger and more powerful - but men are less robust. And our bodies are not human’s greatest strength anyway - our brains are. Social, linguistic, empathetic, and emotional skills are the biggest strengths humans have. These are te...

If not, take a look at Twitter – what used to be social media has become a virtual court. There’s always a jury ready to find you guilty as charged. But being always right is overrated. Being right serves no purpose if the outcome isn’t better, doesn’t help, or doesn’t improve the condition or outcome. Instead, use your good judgment. If what you’re doing makes things better for those involved or the situation, it’s most likely correct. But if it’s not an improvement...

It’s an emotion that has successfully evolved to protect us against any perceived threat to our integrity or existence. Our brain finds it difficult to differentiate between real fear and the fear that appears to be authentic. Let me give you a wake-up call: Not every anxiety-inducing fear you have is real. Some of them were just planted in your brain by people who don’t know you or your real potential. Recognize those unreal fears, take control, and let nothing hold you back.
