“At its root, perfectionism isn’t really about a deep love of being meticulous.
It’s about fear. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of disappointing others. Fear of failure. Fear of success.”

The Power of Setting Goals

Goal setting is vital because it helps us decide and focus on what's really important to us.

Effective goal setting also lets us measure progress, overcome procrastination and visualize our dreams.

If we don't know what we want to accomplish, we can't create a plan to get there.

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."

Carl Jung

It is what you believe that really matters.

What you believe dictates your thoughts on a moment-by-moment basis.

If you believe that money is hard to make, for example, you will not have ideas or thoughts around money that would lead to making it easily...

What you believe dictates what actions you take, which is what produces your results, and your results when you look at them, they reinforce your original belief. It is a circle loop.

So, the lich pin is what you believe. If you believe you can, then you will be able to achieve your dreams and goals.

7 Foods That Drain Our Energy☕️

✅ 1. White Bread, Pasta and Rice

Processed grains are found in foods such as white bread, white pasta, and white rice. They contain fewer nutrients and may spike blood sugar levels, both of which can drain our energy levels.

✅ 2. Breakfast Cereals, Yogurts and Other Foods With Added Sugars

Foods containing high amounts of added sugars can zap our energy levels rather than boost them. They may also increase our cravings for other sugary foods, which can create a vicious, energy-draining cycle.

✅ 3. Alcohol

Consuming too much alcohol, especially around bedtime, may reduce the quality and duration of our sleep, likely causing us to feel more tired the next day.

✅ 4. Coffee

When consumed in moderation, coffee can boost energy levels and provide a slew of additional benefits. However, regularly relying on coffee to boost our energy levels, rather than on proper nutrition and sleep, can backfire over the long term.

✅ 5. Energy Drinks

Energy drinks can provide a short-term boost in energy levels. However, their high sugar and caffeine content can reduce the duration and quality of our sleep and cause our energy levels to crash, leaving us feeling drained.

Why Do I Constantly Feel Hungry Even After Eating?🥗

Consuming fewer calories than the body burns can cause the body to produce a hormone called ghrelin.

Some refer to ghrelin as the “hunger hormone” because the stomach releases it when the body needs more food.

A low-calorie diet can increase ghrelin production and cause hunger, even after a person has just eaten.

🧄I'm Eating Garlic Every Day, Here Is Why:

Garlic is a great source of allicin, a sulfur-containing compound associated with many health benefits.

Allicin, which is responsible for the distinct taste and smell of garlic, is produced when fresh garlic is crushed or chopped.

Interestingly, some research suggests that allicin could help enhance the function of your immune system and may offer some protection against conditions like heart disease and cancer.

However, studies show that roasting, boiling, heating, or pickling garlic can significantly reduce its allicin content.

Therefore, while consuming cooked garlic can be beneficial, opting for raw garlic instead may help maximize its nutritional value.

Here are a few of the potential health benefits of raw garlic:

Improves immunity. Several studies show that garlic may help decrease inflammation and boost immune function, which may be due to its content of antioxidants and sulfur-containing compounds like allicin.

Supports heart health. Some research suggests that garlic may help lower blood pressure and decrease cholesterol levels to support heart health.

Stabilizes blood sugar levels. Garlic may help reduce fasting blood sugar levels and improve blood sugar management, which may be beneficial for managing type 2 diabetes.

Protects brain health. Although research in humans is limited, animal studies show that consuming high amounts of fresh garlic or aged garlic extract could improve memory and support brain health
