25. Why You Keep Letting Yourself Down (and How To Finally Stop)

Listen, you’ve got good ideas. Lots of them. You’ve got a strong vision. Big enough to fill an arena. And you’ve made more than a few promises to yourself about who you’re becoming.

But deep down, you also know what it feels like to ignore your inner voice and abandon the plan that’s collecting dust somewhere in the back of your mind as you say “I’ll start on Monday”, knowing you won’t

I know. I’ve been there.

And I soon realised, before I blamed it on motivation or a lack of confidence. This came down to the relationship I had with myself…

It was about self-trust and whether or not I actually believed myself when I said “I can do this”

If second-guessing, starting over, or overthinking is keeping you stuck in a loop, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you, it’s because somewhere along the line, you stopped being someone you could rely on.

The good news is that can change.

But it won’t happen with any more vision board, or an empty morning routine. It starts with honesty, small wins and rebuilding the relationship you have with the most important person in your life, you.

In this article, I reveal the thing you didn’t see that enables you to keep letting yourself down and how to finally stop.

20. The Art of Magnetism. Why Some Women Have It

We all know that one woman who moves through life attracting everything he wants, with ease. You notice her, not because he’ the loudest, or the most conventionally beautiful, in fact, a lot of the time she doesn’t necessarily fit into either category.

Nevertheless, she has presence.

Her energy is calibrated, and her movements are intentional and charged with something hard to define, yet impossible to ignore, something we call magnetism.

Magnetism isn’t something trend-driven, it’s very, very real. An energetic truth steeped in frequency that give you a glow that makes others lean in without ever understanding why.

And while the internet is busy selling you tips on how to look ‘hot’, ‘how to make men fall in love with you’, and ‘how to go viral’ but magnetic women are mastering something that means something deeper, a resonance that doesn’t beg for attention, it commands it.

So why do some women have it? And more importantly, how can you adopt it?

In this article, we are going to uncover what makes a woman powerfully magnetic so that she can draw everything toward her without moving and how you can start doing the same to bring what you want towards you.

17. Why The Girl Who Romanticises Her Life Ends Up With Everything She Wants

It was only until TikTok coined the aesthetic, which included sunsets, iced Matcha, and main-character monologues narrated over city walks, that I realised for most of my life I had been romanticising it.

But beneath the solo dates to the art galleries and trip to the florist, there’s something far more interesting happening: a neurological shift, a quiet energetic alignment that, in time, brings you face-to-face with your deepest desires.

And no, this isn’t just spiritual fluff. It’s science.

Psychology.

Quantum theory.

It’s the kind of thing you feel before you can prove it. The kind of thing that changes your life slowly, then all at once.

If you're ready to start romanticising your own life while you read this, I made a little something for you, which you can grab here.

In this article, I’m going to share the science behind romanticising your life, why it’s more than just a feel-good concept, and why the girl who romanticises her life ends up with everything she wants.

How To Know If They’re The Right One for You

Between red pill podcasts, disposable dating and divorce being at high of 50%, when we finally meet someone, it’s hard to decide how we know if they’re right for us.

Relationships take work, a conscious effort, and after the initial stages of dating and infatuation otherwise known as the ‘honeymoon’ period, reality starts to set in.

It’s at this stage where the rose-tinted glasses are off and you are able to start seeing the relationship for what it is, and not just what you hope it will be.

Love isn’t just about grand gestures or Instagram-worthy moments. It’s about the quiet support, the deep conversations, and the way someone makes you feel in your day-to-day life.

If you’re wondering whether your relationship is truly healthy and built to last, here are eight signs to look for.

How To Move On After Friendship Breakup

‘Girl squad’, ‘BFF’, ’besties’, ‘friends for life’, ‘day ones’, ‘homegirl, ‘ride or die’, ‘soul sisters’, ‘sister from another mister’, and it goes on.

The foundation of friendship is usually built on joy, laughter, fond memories, overcoming obstacles together, being each other’s rock at the lowest moments, as well as being each other’s sunlight at the highest.

It’s no secret that the elements of a true friendship form a strong bond and are set to last a lifetime, or so we think.

Our closest friends have usually been by our side during the best times as well as the worst, through the years they’ve gotten to learn all sides of us, our personality, our traits, our habits, good and bad, they know us like they know the back of their hand, or even yours.

So why, when these solid foundations of friendships are suddenly shaken, do we struggle and feel ill-equipped to navigate them?

How To Build Boundaries and Have Them Respected

Perception. A key player in the game of society and the reason many are conscious of how we behave and interact with our peers.

How we are perceived can greatly influence the decisions we make as well as the pressure on ourselves to take actions we don’t necessarily want to do.

When we say yes, how much are we acting from a place of how we truly feel, and how much of it is just to ‘keep the peace’?
