Change is life, but not everyone embraces change as expected. We all have reservations about what and how we want to change.

Many people can go to bed and sleep without difficulty, while others struggle with one form of sleep disorder. Many have no regular pattern of when they sleep and when they wake. The sleep-wake syndrome is an example of an irregular sleep cycle.
Scientific research shows that irregular sleep schedules might lead to metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

Couples Infidelity
Read More
Why do couples cheat? This is a million dollars question that many people have several answers to. Unfaithfulness, disloyalty, and altercations are a few reasons why couples can’t remain faithful to one another.
Nearly 65% of couples cheat for one reason or the other. However, many couples still stay together after infidelity.
It’s gradually becoming normal for couples to cheat. Infidelity has become a gateway resort to any challenges in relationships. We need to pay close attention that couples don’t easily own up to cheating except when push comes to shove.
No matter how glorifying cheating is, there is nothing beautiful about being unfaithful.
So, is getting attracted to someone a good enough reason to cheat on your partner? The answer is No!
If you can’t take the heat, leave the kitchen. If you can, make up your mind to be faithful.
Harmful Thoughts
Read More
One of the advantages of being human is that we can think for ourselves. Indeed, some people can’t think for themselves for one reason, yet it’s only a tiny number.
We have intrusive thoughts for those of us who can think for ourselves.
Note that mundane thoughts are not intrusive thoughts.
Intrusive thoughts are thoughts that are constantly on our minds. They reoccur as often as they want, and they are dangerous too if they are dangerous and disturbing.
Thoughts will always be thoughts, but if we fixate on them, glorify their significance, and become ashamed of them, it is a warning sign to watch out for.
When intrusive thoughts become uncontrollable, it breeds numerous types of mental health conditions. Such as obsessive-compulsive disorders(OCD), eating disorders, drug abuse, depression, sleep disorders, fatigue, and dementia.
Isolation & Loneliness
Read More
Isolation and loneliness affect us all at some point in our lives. While loneliness is the separation from someone or something, isolation is the absence of social contacts and having few people to associate with daily.
We all cherish our privacy but disregard any form of isolation. You can live alone and not feel isolated, while social isolation can lead to loneliness.
Isolation and loneliness of any form, if neglected for long, can lead to numerous physical and mental conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, a weakened immune system, anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease, and even death.
Do you feel lonely or isolated? I recommend you move. Exercise daily, take daily walks and keep in touch with family, friends, and neighbors online or by phone.
Consider adopting a pet.

My Approach & Values
As a Life and Mental Health Coach, I use solution-focused and value-based approaches. Both approaches help me make a difference in the life of my clients and everything around them.
I use the solution focus approach because it helps me guide my clients on how to identify and achieve their desired outcomes. Through this approach, I focus on their strengths, not their weaknesses, and solutions rather than problems. To determine the skills they need to achieve their set goals, provide them with all the positive reinforcement they need, and encourage them to take action and review their progress without being hard on themselves.
On the other hand, the value-based approach helps me guide my clients in clarifying and identifying their values, help them understand what motivates them, uncover resistances to change, and take action congruent with what is important to them.
