FitFully Yours- Email BlogAre you letting people treat you unfairly?I recently read a psychology blog about how, if as children we have been treated badly by someone (peer or elder to us)- say that we have been told bad things about ourselves or we have been told that we are good for nothing or even if we have not been given the required acknowledgement, as adults we are bound to accept that we have no right to be treated nicely or we will constantly normalize being spoken to rudely or we will accept it if someone does not do right by us. Not only that, we can blame...

FitFully Yours- Email BlogCognitive dissonanceDo not get scared of this term- if you google it up you will see a lot of complicated words.

FitFully Yours- Email BlogWHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE PANDEMIC?A few days back I had seen a video by the French government in which they were marketing and propagating vaccination to their citizens.
