Who else here struggles to ask for favours? So many of us discount that we’re gonna receive what we ask for before we even ask. But as Jesus points out, if you don’t ask, you won’t get. One of the ‘asks’ that I always struggled with was asking for a pay rise at work. Then, as I transitioned to owning a business, I later had to begin charging more for my services. Sometimes, these conversations felt really awkward, especially with the clients who had been with me for a long time and were used to setting the rules to our business agreement. I’ve had to carefully negotiate some business relationships, but it’s been necessary and its taught me to understand the value of our services and learn to speak up. Have you had similar experiences? Let us know below. Link to the full conversation on ‘communication and our health’ in the comments. Tasha~

For all who struggle with low mood and/or depression, what’s your secret to managing it? I put myself through a 7-step morning routine for years, and this helped me not slip into feeling negative and irritable. The whole process had to begin as soon as I woke, and would take up the better part of the first hour of my morning. Even throughout my day, I had methods to check in with myself including quick meditation breaks, walks around the block (outside of course) to get a breather while working, and hot/cold showers which helped regulate my hormones. If I didn’t find ways to change my emotional state, I’d turn into a monster. Continued in the first comment. These days, my protocols have completely changed, and the only habit I continue to do consistently is journaling. In the autumn of 2024, I discovered that when we tried bio technology, my nervous began to change. I can’t really explain it, but the bio chemistry in my body is different now. I feel more relaxed, and my mood is just more stable and predictable. I even stopped scratching at my back and stomach, which had been a nervous habit I had had for many years. I still get moody or sensitive from time to time, but things have changed a lot. I’m glad I learned all those routine steps years ago, but now, I use my time to do other things that are important too. Do you do anything to manage your mood? Let us know below. I’d love to know. Share with someone who needs this. Tasha~
