Why You're overeating..🤔 . . Aside from the physiological or bodily reasons, here are some psychological reasons one may be over eating.. . . 🥀TRYING TO FIGHT UNDERLYING INSECURITIES There may be some deep-rooted insecurity that gets triggered, leading you to stretch out your hand for comfort food. Resentment, envy and guilt are common triggers. Monitor your eating habits, the kind of things you eat and the feeling, that induces the food cravings.  You may ask yourself: ✨What am i feeling right now? Why am i feeling like that? Could i let it go? if not, How is this feeling serving me?✨ . 🥀ESCAPISM Finding solace in food, so you could escape your problems and emotions, thinking there is nothing you could do about it.  . 🥀WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME You're cutting down on food, hitting the gym, checking your weight everyday, you want to get in shape, but you suddenly crave them more than you can control, and you dig into the goeey sticky food. . 🥀SABOTEURS You have friends and family members who have no control on their diet. all kinds of food is brought in the house so you're forced to eat all that food. or are you? the choice is yours! 🙂 . 🥀DEPRESSION Overeating is a sign of depression that hasn't surfaced yet. You might want to check yourself . Or speak to your nearest mental health professional. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3P4gsHX41/?igshid=shebfm3b1060

Raw & Real. . Success is very glamorous and enticing, but it comes at a price most people aren't willing to pay. . There's hardwork . There's rejection . There's resistance . There's failures . You lay each brick and build your empire. This is what every successful person is made of. . No shortcuts, no BS. . Eventually, the bricks become fuel for success. Because when you place all these bricks, and you come this far, you wouldn't give it up for the world. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCBxe8gHnbd/?igshid=1dl4mhdmgfq35

"MY LAST DINNER IN İSTANBUL" . . I had to leave the next day, so I'd decided to spent the last day with my friends. The last thing I did before returning home was eating dinner at this tiny, but AMAZING burger joint. If I remember right, it's name was OTB burger. . . At that point, I'd speak Turkish fluently. The native Turks get absolutely delighted when they hear Turkish out of a foriegner's mouth. . . We sat down when a lady came over to take our order. I chose to speak to her, she asked my name and where I'm from. I answered her to which she said, and I remember to this day. I quote: . . " ÇOK SICAK KANLISIN. İNSAN SENLE HEP KONUŞMAK İSTER. ÇOK GÜZELSİN. İNŞALLAH HEP BÖYLE GÜLERSIN." . . It means: . . "you're very warm blooded. One would always want to keep speaking to you. You're very beautiful. I hope you always keep smiling." . . That woman didn't even know me, but for her to say something like that TOUCHED MY HEART ♥ . . There have been countless such instances when people have said and done things that left me speechless and ended up being so touching that it's beyond EXPLANATION. . . I hope that woman is safe and happy wherever she is and I'd see her whenever I travel back to istanbul. 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wwSjhHIdL/?igshid=17sbyv2o3magr

What do life coaches even DO? Life coaching is another word for laying down an obtainable blueprint of YOUR life with a legitimate perspective onto a canvas- clear, crisp and transparent.

#thebastardofistanbul The book is a cross-generational saga of carefully crafted incidents and characters, which ties in perfectly with the intense and schematic nature of the plot. The book is a hybrid of bitter and sweet, shocking and intriguing, love and fear, realism and culture. @shafakelif . . The writer Elif Shafak does a wonderful job in constructing character profiles through words. Whether it’s the rebellious, mini-skirt and high-heels wearing Tattoo- Artist Zeliha, the keen Reader, hungry for adventure Armanoush, or the Johnny Cash Listening, excessive jewelry-wearing Daughter Asya, who just wants to break free. All these hypothetical names soon take place as real characters in the mind of the reader. . . *One of the finest book written about the Turkish culture* as we explore the book chapter after chapter, the mind wanders. Before we know it, we are in this spellbinding realm of history and culture. In other words, this books grabs you by the hand (and mind), and takes you on a cognitive tour of the city of Istanbul; all in your head, yet, very real and extremely accurate down to every tiny detail. The Bastard of Istanbul takes you to a wild ride to experience Turkish culture in its entirety. . . *Makes you want to visit Istanbul for real* There is something so bewitching about the Turkish culture, especially the city of Istanbul that while you flip through the pages of The Bastard of Istanbul, it feels like the pages of the book have become open arms that are inviting you to visit and experience the wondrous joy that it has to offer. You seem to know about the city even before you get there. . . *Creative chapter titles* Let’s just spend a moment of silence for how creative and beautiful the chapter names are. Each chapter is named after food. And as you read through, each name is intriguing enough to build up excitement about what the contents of the chapter might bring. Without a doubt, it seems as though each food ingredient came to life and incorporated themselves to add more flavor to the story. So all I'm trynna say is, I LOVE THE BOOK! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-J2ciEhBej/?igshid=16537hpav8xlp

This day holds great importance in Pakistan's history... In the spirit of which, here's an ode from me to my nation. 🇵🇰 If you could see, Oh land of the free! . . What you have endured What you have born You were meant to be one Not divided and torn . . You're the land of the holy You're a land of gold We've won you over With blood and soul . . We've tried to hold the flag uphigh To carry your name With dignity and with pride . . If only you could see Oh land of the free . . There's cuts and wounds Bruises and scars Your chest will bear them Like shining stars There's a story Waiting to be told At each doorstep Beyond every threshold . . If you ever walk through You will see Were trying hard To be safe and free Free to walk Free to live Free to share Free to give Free to laugh Free to play Free to celebrate Free to pray . . If only you could see Oh land of the free . . You've been divided In all this time You've been sold At a fraction of a dime . . If you had another life You'd want to be a sky For life up there is pure and free And down here, you would see But If only you could see Oh the land of the free . . If you could go back in time Would you wish to be Another form of life, some other kind? A sea, wind or sand perhaps So you'd be free To flow wherever You'd want to be . . And if you had a choice, Would you walk away? Would you rewrite your story In a more beguiling way? Would you rather shelter different people? People with a sound mind, People who are sane People who are kind? . . If only, you could see Oh land of the free! #pakistanday #23march #pakistanresolutionday #pakistanzindabad #mynation #mypeople❤️ #writersofinstagram #writergirl #writer #poetrycommunity #poetrydaily #writinginspiration #poetrywriting #poetrywriter https://www.instagram.com/p/B-EwTd1BU9f/?igshid=oy3l1ufkarvz

There's been a lot of fog in the air about the coaching profession.. People have all kinds of objections while hiring a coach. . ❌ANYONE can be a coach It takes a disciplined person to be a coach, with an active, empathetic & reflective listening ear to be able to truly understand the client's problem & help them . ❌Coaches do not require Training Coaches, go through a process of development & simulated coaching experience, not to mention heightening the senses. . ❌Coaching is only for people who have problem. Coaching is for everyone who wants to improve their performance & achieve an abundant, fulfilled life. . ❌Coaches let you vent, then they provide suggestions. First of all, we don't call it 'venting', we call it 'opening up'. Secondly, coaches don't Suggest, counselors do. . ❌Coaching is therapy Coaching is a process for accelerating growth in all areas of life & emotional hindrances do limit the best of us. Coaches familiarize themselves with therapy practices to be able to provide maximum benefit. But coaching itself isn't a therapeutic process hence, won't produce a therapeutic outcome. . ❌Coaches are cheerleaders "coaches just reiterate the things you've already said, throw some smart jargon at you, sit back & watch the placebo effect kick & chant, YOU'RE AWESOME I KNEW YOU HAD IT WITHIN YOU" Coaches invest in whatever they've got to help a stuck client by proven techniques so the client unleashes their full potential. The process is just as involving for the coach as it is for the client. . ❌Coaching is Spoonfeeding coaching doesn't guarantee a one size fits all blueprint for a successful life. Coaches don't do the work FOR you, they keep a check on the work YOU do & get you to improve it, like strength trainers increase weights for muscle strength. . ❌Coaching is a quick fix. Transformation takes time. A problem that you've been stuck in for YEARS can't magically disappear in DAYS. It's like growing a muscle, it doesn't happen overnight. . ❌Coaching provides solutions There's a thin line between readily providing solutions & empowering the client enough for them to be able to generate multiple solutions THEMSELVES. https://www.instagram.com/p/B94Dln5hGBv/?igshid=1xtrrur8g62hz

There's been a number of misconceptions about NLP.. I've heard of a few myself and I'll clear them up. . . NLP is ❌Manipulative. A friend once told me someone used NLP to sell one of their products. I asked my friend whether he bought it. He said he didn’t. I answered that’s not manipulation, that’s persuasion & no one can’t make you do or buy things you want to. I also said, NLP isn’t about others’ control over you, it’s you taking charge of your actions. . . ❌Hypnosis Although NLP is successfully integrated with psychotherapy & hypnotherapy, NLP doesn’t involve any hypnotic techniques within itself neither is it about using captivating words to control someone, it’s about conscious use of words for best possible outcomes, given any circumstance. . . ❌Therapy NLP involves breakthrough, aka ‘aha moments’ that causes you to overcome conflicts & beliefs that YOU created, that is achieved through probing questions. Moreover, NLP helps in realization of the present resources & opportunities for a sound future. Whereas, therapy is known to ‘heal’ underlying issues repressed at the unconscious level. . . ❌Can’t & won’t work for me If one thinks like that, it most certainly won’t work. As the name suggests, it has everything to do with the mind; programming the mind towards creating the best life for yourself. To get NLP to work for you, GET IN ACTION. . . ❌Works because of the placebo effect. Although placebo effect works in many a cases, but NLP doesn’t require the Placebo effect to work. NLP doesn’t preach believing in things that aren’t there, it's all about looking for possibilities that’ve been overlooked or ignored, being resourceful about them & CREATING best possible outcomes. . . ❌You can learn NLP from books. There’ll be some tools & techniques here n’ there but like any other craft, it demands that you’re trained by someone who’s present in front of your eyes & gives you live demonstration.  https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jIPPvBHC6/?igshid=1igcw8umgyst7
