THE SINGLE DAD'S SURVIVAL GUIDE

People with low self-esteem tend to see the world as a hostile place and themselves as its victim. As a result, they are reluctant to express and assert themselves, miss out on experiences and opportunities, and feel powerless to change things. All this lowers their self-esteem still further, sucking them into a downward spiral. If you feel that you suffer from poor self-esteem, there are a number of simple things that you can do to boost yourself.

Low self-esteem can be deeply rooted, with origins in traumatic childhood experiences such as prolonged separation from parent figures, neglect, or emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. In later life, self-esteem can be undermined by ill health, negative life events such as losing a job or getting divorced, deficient or frustrating relationships, and a general sense of lack of control. This sense of lack of control may be especially marked in victims of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, or victims of discrimination on the grounds of religion, culture, race, sex, or sexual orientation. If you feel that you suffer from poor self-esteem, there are a number of simple things that you can do to boost yourself and, hopefully, break out of the downward spiral. You may already be doing some of these things, and you certainly don’t need to be doing them all. Just do those that you feel most comfortable with.  Listen to this Episode as we give you ways on how to build your self confidence. https://1-stop-surplus.myshopify.com/ http://chinitafilipina.com/

 We’ve all been hurt. You can’t be an adult — or teen — alive today who hasn’t experienced some kind of emotional pain. It hurts. I get that. But what you do with that hurt is probably more important than the hurt itself. Would you prefer to get back to being an active liver of life? Or do you prefer to ruminate endlessly about the past and something that cannot be changed? In short, how do you let go of past hurts and move on? Let’s find out… on this Episode. https://1-stop-surplus.myshopify.com/ http://chinitafilipina.com/

Ladies! Being a strong woman, when the person you love says “its complicated what does he really means.”    It’s complicated – I’m not talking about changing your Facebook relationship status to “It’s complicated” after getting into a fight with your SO. If you’re at that elementary level in your relationships – a major reality check needs to implode on your Love life. It sounds a little laughable, doesn’t it? The infamous “sort of” relationship is not easily defined, yet is frequently exercised.  I’m talking about the fact you’re with someone who’s “married “, yet tells you over and over that he’s getting that divorce in order to be with you – which still has yet to happen. And his response is always the same – “Look, it’s complicated…” It’s the situation when you’re “with” someone, but you’re not with him or her in the fully committed fashion. It’s essentially relationship purgatory. There are several reasons why we create these odd companionship: “It’s just not a good time for more,” “We aren’t ready to get back together, but we aren’t broken up,” “I’m not looking for a serious relationship,” “We’re just keeping it casual.” And all that Bullshit reason.  Listen up on this Episode as we talk about your self worth.  Promo Code: CHINITA  1-Stop Surplus.myshopify.com  https://1-stop-surplus.myshopify.com/

 In a world where children are "growing up digital," it's important to help them learn healthy concepts of digital use and citizenship. Parents play an important role in teaching these skills.  Know the value of face-to-face communication. Very young children learn best through two-way      communication. Conversations can be face-to-face or, if necessary, by video chat with a traveling parent or far-away grandparent. Research has      shown that it's that "back-and-forth conversation" that improves language skills—much more so than "passive" listening or one-way interaction with a screen.     You know Children now a days are growing up in a completely different world. Children everywhere are gaining access to the internet – most often via a mobile phone. In many places, too, parents are feeling challenged in their competence, role and authority.

Guilt that you’re missing important moments with your kids when you’re at work, and, on the work front, guilt that your priorities have shifted and work is no longer number one. There are positives as well. You get to use your training and education, challenge yourself intellectually, and stay in touch with who you are beyond “Mom.” But there’s no denying that it’s hard.  https://1-stop-surplus.myshopify.com/  https://1-stop-surplus.myshopify.com/discount/CHINITA
