Hey! Yes you, SMILE.
Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. A healthy smile can help you to have a positive self-image. Smiling, even when you are faking it, can improve your mental health. Taking care of your oral health can make you more likely to smile more often, which can be an instant mood lifter.
Smiling can have many positive mental health benefits. It can:
Improve your mood.
Reduce stress.
Lower your heart rate and blood pressure.
Boost your immune system.
Always wear a smile, fake it if you have to coz it's free therapy

Good morning lovelies, as we go about our activities for the day don't forget to wear a smile. Yes, smile dear, it's free therapy.
With all the evidence that smiling can improve your mental health, how can you encourage yourself to smile and laugh more? Here are a number of things you can try:

1.) Find humor throughout your day. This may mean signing up for a joke-a-day service that is sent to your inbox, watching a funny movie, or playing with a pet.
2.) Connect with other people. Smiling is a basic human expression. It is common to everyone, everywhere, regardless of culture or gender. As humans, we are socialized to smile and laugh when we’re among friends.
Spend time with your friends and enjoy their company. You’ll find you smile more when you do.
3.) Laugh at yourself. There are many mental health benefits to not taking yourself too seriously, such as fostering positive interpersonal reactions or simply reminding yourself that you’re human and that you have a right to enjoy your life.
4.) Force some laughter if you have to. Remember that even faking a smile can boost your mood. If you smile when you don’t feel like smiling, you can fool your brain into releasing the neurotransmitters and neuropeptides that will actually help you feel better.
Smiling is a basic and biological uniform human expression. Aim to smile more, and you might find you simply feel better overall. And don't forget to contact me for that unashamed conversation, whatever it may be I care to listen

Looking after our mental health is one of the most important factors to our overall health. It affects most aspects of our life including our emotional, psychological and social well-being. In fact, it’s more common to be diagnosed with a mental health illness than you might think. More than 50% will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime.
In light of raising awareness, I advise that you speak with a therapist who can help you with long-term coping mechanisms, you need more unashamed conversation. If you are in search for someone to talk to or helpful resources, contact us via the link on our signature and we'll be glad to have a session with you

Dinner:

Pounded plantain and yam with peanut soup.

One of my favorites, especially when it's prepared with bitter leaf.

It's a terrible situation truth be told. And it's gonna get worse sadly, because when you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I really pity the salary earners, subsidy removal has affected everything but salary is still the same.

Happy Sunday Lovelies, It’s time to start taking care of your well-being and prioritize mental health, make a resolution to put your health and happiness first. To get started, try using the following ways to prioritize your mental health. 
1.) Identify your stressors
To monitor your stress, first identify your stress triggers. What makes you feel angry, tense, worried or irritable? Learning how to recognize sources of stress in your life is the first step in managing them.
2.) Practice self-care
Self-care involves all the things you do to support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It may involve meditating, taking a bath, exercising, eating healthy, or implementing a consistent sleep routine. Along with preventing illness, these techniques can help you maintain your overall health and happiness.
3.) Learn to say no
You are only one person, so it’s impossible to say yes to everything. If you want to prioritize your mental health, you should start by learning to say no and focusing on your priorities.
4.) Work on mindfulness
Meditation has been found to decrease the symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression. Plus, it’s connected to higher levels of happiness. Thanks to the sheer number of meditations, you can have an easier time learning about mindfulness than ever before.
5.) Connect with others
To prioritize mental health, take some time to improve your social connections. Human beings are social creatures, so we need to have fulfilling relationships to be happy. In fact, strong social connections are linked to better mental wellness.
6.) Cut out the negatives
Negative self-talk can be holding you back in life. By changing your self-talk, you can reduce anxiety, improve your heart health, and change how you deal with stress. Once you identify your patterns of negative self-talk, you can work on reframing these thoughts.
7.) Get help
If you want to prioritize your mental health, you can start by being willing to get help. A trained counselor can help you work through personal challenges and develop better coping mechanisms. Pls talk to someone when you feel the need today, sometimes you can't figure it out on your own

6 Relationship Red Flags To Look For:
These six red flags are signs that a relationship could be bad for your mental health:
1.) You often feel suspicious- Your mind is working overtime with doubts and constant worrying about your partner’s behavior.
2.) You censor yourself regularly- Keeping meaningful things to yourself may keep you from enjoying emotional intimacy.
3.) You feel misunderstood- You may have frequent disagreements with your partner where you feel like they don’t hear you or “get” you.
4.) You feel like you don’t know your partner anymore. Ideally, growth and change happen with understanding, communication, and transparency.
5.) You have a sense of going through the motions- Relationships can get stuck in a holding pattern, but a lasting feeling of drudgery may be a problem.
6.) Resentments are festering- Instead of openly discussing problems, one partner may be silently seething.
No relationship is immune from problems. If you hit a roadblock, don’t be afraid to talk about it.
Bring it up and be open and honest with your partner or spouse about it and try to say how you feel. You don’t have to run immediately to a couple’s counselor, but if you feel like you’re not being heard over and over, then maybe it would be good to seek a therapist. If your partner doesn’t want to do therapy, it is still beneficial to seek out an individual therapist.

I just need someone to talk to, depression is real, feel like my head is about to explode, from failed businesses to toxic relationship. Please help the soul

So sorry dear. If you want to talk about it, you can reach out to me okay. Happy Sunday

My ideal heel height is 3inch. I'm very comfortable with this height and I don't look too dramatic in it. Spool, Kitten or Wedge Heels are my preference

Awwn obviously the reserved type, she looks like someone under a lot of pressure to go ahead with this thing. The best thing anyone can do for Dammy right now is send her to a Culinary School where she can learn more and become a Chef, if it's a passion though.
Now she's known as Chef Dammy, even though its a name that cracks us up, why not learn more and come out better as a real chef and apply officially to GWR to break any record that must has been set by Hilda Baci or any other person after her. That determination alone will say a lot about your passion and character and see if all Nigerians will not root for her. I wish her all the best though

A happy, stable relationship, whether with a spouse or partner, is connected to a better mental health, lower levels of stress, and less depression.
Having a mental health condition can make it more difficult to date and meet people, largely because you may not feel like connecting with others when your life is unstable.
Depending on your condition, you might be dealing with impulsive behavior, irregular moods, a desire to withdraw, trouble feeling empathy, or anxieties about other people.
You deserve a loving, healthy relationship whatever your health history, so following the right treatment plan to care for your health is one important part of building a healthy relationship. So why aren’t we talking about it?

Happy Sunday Lovelies, here's a gentle reminder as we kick start the new week- “It is okay to have depression, it is okay to have anxiety and it is okay to have an adjustment disorder. We need to improve the conversation. We all have mental health in the same way we all have physical health."[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]

How the INEC Chairman is still a free man is a wonder. INEC manipulated too much openly, total disregard for Democracy and believe nothing can happen in 2023 and still have the guts to say go to court if you have a problem with the result, is an insult to the Judiciary. May justice be served and may the best man win.

"NO" is a complete sentence, learn to use it sometimes. You have too much financial burden on your shoulders and to think you're still in school that's worrisome coz this in turn affects your studies. Your Mom should take some off your shoulders in any little way she can if your siblings are not of age to hustle.
Don't kill yourself for anyone coz life goes no Don't give in to depression, identify your stressors and cut out the negatives asap.

Your mental health is everything
Make it a priority like your life depends on it
Because it actually does.

Relixy2k:
Good morning everyone. I just lost my job of over 10 years working in various units of the customer care in a telecom firm. I feel completely shattered. I have a wife and children. Please I urgently need a job. My email is adesamrre@yahoo.com. Kindly please assist.

God will make a way, I know exactly how you feel. Why not lay more emphasis on what you can do like your experience, skills and certifications, you don't know who's viewing. Good luck

Always eat what you can comfortably pay for as a lady please. This has nothing to do with being rich or broke but to avoid embarrassment, coz this is embarrassing and it was intentional. If what you want to have is 15k no problem but make sure you can pay for it if the guy can't, it's nothing personal.

May God console you and grand your mother eternal rest in the Bossom of the Lord. Pls don't dwell too much on the pains of transition because it's impossible to get over the death of a parent. I pray God gives you the strength to live with it. My condolence and please be strong.

I met this guy sometimes last year....it took me 6mnths before I finally accepted to date him....at first I was not really in love but gradually I began to love him beyond measure....truth is I never asked him for anything instead I was the one spending for him...despite how he treated me I still endured..most times I go on my knees for hours begging before he finally forgives me for wat I don't even kno I did wrong.....
He makes sure 3rd parties are involved in our relationship...he lies against me just to be called the right one,all this I endured until one day I was rushed to the hospital unconscious and it took God's intervention before I regained consciousness...he was called only for him to tell my family he traveled.....meanwhile he was the last person I chatted with that same day before I was rushed to d hospital...later a friend of mine called him asking him why he is still not at the hospital but his reply was "don't she have parents" why not call them.. he told my friend he can't come for any reason and even told my friend that he lied about travelling...little did he kno that my parents were listening to his conversation with my friend...
Thank God I have been discharged but even till now he has not called or messaged to say he said anything about me being sick



I feel hurt...that somebody I loved with all my life could actually do this to me....even tho I endured so many maltreatment from him.....yet my life meant nothing to him


I just feel I can revenge cos I feel really bad and I feel cheated

Sometimes the best revenge is to just walk away... yeah I know that's hard and can make you look weak. But when people don't appreciate your presence, give them the gift of your absence coz some people don't know what they have until they loose it.
You'll get through it and be a stronger and better human.

Num.23.23 - Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

Numbers 23:23! it's so personal to me, one of my favorite scripture.

TheGift:
Many recruiters come to recruitment with an air of superiority. Meanwhile, they may not be able to talk to some of those candidates eye to eye on a very good day. Your job as a recruiter is to find the person's fitness (or otherwise) for the role. Not to make them feel small or uncomfortable, or begin to act as a counselor for their personal affairs. It is highly unprofessional.

A very disgusting and unprofessional behavior and it's very common, If men were God smh

mariahAngel:

Hello Dear.
I so much love your profile.

Awwn that's so nice to hear. Thank you so much dear, I appreciate it.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS/WHAT ARE YOUR CAREER GOALS: Right now(In the short-term), I am looking to expand my skillset in accounts related roles and learn more about the industry. Eventually(in the long term), I’d like to move into a more senior role in Accounting, which is one reason why this company is appealing to me, as the offer seems to offer employees room to grow internally, which is something that I really value.
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR ME: Say something
(1)You’ve provided a thorough overview of the role. One thing I was wondering was whether employees have the opportunity to pursue professional development opportunities, like attending conferences or taking an online class to develop their skill sets?
(2)When can I start?(this question shows confidence)
ARE YOU MOBILE?: They want to know if you're free to relocate. If possible, simply say yes.
CAN YOU TELL A LIE TO PROTECT THE INTEREST OF THIS COMPANY?: As a professional I will do anything & everything "within my power" to protect the internet of the company. N.B- Within my power is an Open Statement, that means if you can lie, you will. If you can't lie, you won't.
HOW MANY BOYFRIENDS DO YOU HAVE?: They want to know how sociable you are, reply by saying - I have many friends and if given the opportunity to work here, I will make sure they do biz with this company.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS COMPANY?: Give a brief description of the company and it's operations.

ganisucks:
There's something called freedom of speech. The guy bared his mind on an issue. Big deal. The UK were looking for any reason to revise their immigration policies. They were going to do it one way or another. Haven't you ever heard of Suella Braverman.

You're very correct.
He's entitled to his opinions and he has freedom of speech... Yes!
The UK have made a decision already and needed a scapegoat and he fell for it and he knows better now. Yes he gave an honest opinion even when he knew the implications but some things are better not said
