Have you ever been asked a question, found yourself gushing out an awkward explanation for an answer, and then felt pretty silly afterwards? Yeah, me too. It’s called over-explaining. We all do it sometimes, and we’ve got to stop. This habit of over-explaining ourselves can be a major problem. I’m not talking about meaningful back…
The many forms in which I have seen my worries manifest is limitless. Lying awake for indefinite hours, heart drum beats in my chest. Fears of worst possible outcomes racing through my mind. My sleepy (and exasperated!) boyfriend going around in circles, hopelessly trying to get to the source of my deep-rooted concerns. Heart beats…

But what we do know is that there are daily habits of successful people that stand out from those that don’t identify themselves as being ‘successful’. What do most successful people have in common?

Breakups suck, there’s no denying it. Whether you’re the instigator or the recipient the process is still difficult. Sometimes, it also drags out and we find ourselves in a post-breakup rut.
