THE TRUE YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOURSELF — PSYCHOLOGIST SAY

Every day, we rush through routines — checking phones, meeting deadlines, trying to please everyone — until we forget to notice ourselves. Psychologists say many people live under layers of expectation, shaped by what others think they should be, rather than who they truly are.

You may smile when you’re hurting, stay silent to avoid conflict, or push yourself to appear “strong.” But beneath all that, the real you — the one who feels deeply, dreams freely, and hopes quietly — is still there, waiting to be seen.

Reconnecting with yourself doesn’t mean changing your life overnight. It begins with small pauses. When you feel anxious, ask, “What do I need right now?” When you finish a task or survive a hard day, take a second to appreciate your effort.

True growth often hides in the unnoticed — forgiving when it’s hard, showing kindness, or simply choosing to keep going.

So today, take one mindful pause. Breathe. Appreciate something about yourself — your patience, your courage, your ability to rise again. The real you isn’t gone; you just need to slow down and listen.

SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR CHILD FEELS SAFE AND PROTECTED

Listen when they speak — no voice is too small.
Benefit: Builds self-worth, communication skills, and trust in adults. When children feel heard, they develop confidence and are more likely to share problems early, preventing harm.

Teach them about safe and unsafe touch.
Benefit: Promotes body autonomy, boundary-setting, and early recognition of abuse. This empowers children to protect themselves and reduces vulnerability to exploitation.

Believe them when they say they feel afraid.
Benefit: Strengthens resilience and emotional security. When children know adults take their fears seriously, they learn that their feelings are valid and that seeking help is safe.

Together, these steps nurture children who feel safe, confident, and respected — the foundation for healthy growth, learning, and relationships.

Our brains are wired with something called the negativity bias: we naturally give more weight to threats and problems than to neutral or positive events. This bias helps us survive, but in daily life it often tricks us into magnifying small problems until they look like monsters.

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) it's called catastrophizing — turning “a dot” into “a dragon.
