Being an entrepreneur by Atilade Faith.
Entrepreneurship requires a unique blend of determination, grit, and a tolerance for uncertainty. It's a journey of highs and lows, with moments of triumph and moments of doubt. But at the heart of it all, entrepreneurship is about taking control of your career, pursuing your passion, and making a positive impact on the world.
Mental health awareness by Atilade Faith
Taking importance of our mental wellbeing is essential and it also extends to our relationships. Young people face a set of challenges including social pressures, academic demands and a rapidly changing world. Mental health awareness promotes emotional wellbeing and effective communication and also helps build stronger connections.
According to WHO, mental health is a state of wellbeing in which the individual realizes his/her own abilities, can cope with normal stresses , can work productively and effectively, and is able to make a contribution to his/her community. WHO also states that it is more than just the absence of mental disorders or disabilities. Mental health challenges such as anxiety, trauma. Depression, stress, and panic disorders can impact a relationship. According to WHO 10-20% of adolescents experience mental issues with anxiety and depression being the most common. Factors that contribute to mental health issues include: biological factors such as hormones, environmental stressors, technological influences such as cyber bullying, harassment, and traumatic experiences.
Stigma and lack of awareness about mental health can prevent young people from seeking help leading to negative consequences. Seeking out help provides a valuable opportunity for these issues to be addressed.

Mental health issues like anxiety, depression lead to poor academic performance, low motivation, absenteeism, and low overall wellbeing.
It also leads to social isolation leading to feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Emotional intelligence and relationships by Atilade Faith.
At the heart of any strong and lasting relationship lies two major ingredients: emotional intelligence and effective communication. These two skills form the grounds upon which a healthy and fulfilling relationship can flourish. By understanding and managing our emotions, we can navigate conflict and build stronger connections with one another.
Daniel Goleman describes emotional intelligence as a person's ability to manage their feelings so that those feelings are expressed appropriately and effectively. Emotional intelligence according to Harvard Business School, is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges and conflicts as well as recognize and influence the emotions of others.
As society becomes more aware of the importance of emotional intelligence and effective communication, people are recognizing the value of developing these skills in their relationships. Effective communication involves active listening, clear and respectful communication, and the ability to resolve conflicts productively Studies have shown that couples who have higher emotional intelligence and better communication skills are more likely to have happier, more satisfying relationships
Ways that emotional intelligence can benefit communication and relationships:
Improved conflict resolution: those who can communicate effectively and understand each other's emotions are more likely to resolve conflicts in a better way leading to stronger and healthier relationships.
Stronger connection: Emotional intelligence allows partners to communicate and connect on a deeper level, increasing intimacy and closeness.
Greater trust: Open communication and empathy can build trust and strengthen the bond between both parties.
Overall, it's clear that emotional intelligence and communication are critical components of a healthy, relationship. By prioritizing these skills, we can deepen our connection with others, resolve conflicts more effectively, and experience greater happiness and intimacy. It's not always easy, but the effort is worth it.

Work-life: a healthy balance by Atilade Faith.
Achieving a work-life balance.
In today's fast-paced world achieving work-life balance has become critical for maintaining one's physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Having the right balance between professional commitments and personal pursuits is not just a goal; it's key to leading a fulfilling and sustainable life. It is crucial for maintaining overall well-being and productivity. Here are some tips for achieving a healthy work-life balance.
Setting boundaries around work hours, and avoiding working overtime unless necessary can help maintain a balance and prevent work from interfering with personal life.
Prioritize tasks: use time-management techniques to prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. Focus on high-impact tasks to enhance productivity.
Use the power of technology to work efficiently and effectively, remember the goal is to work smart.
Prioritize self-care such as exercising, healthy eating habits, meditation, hobbies, and getting sufficient sleep. Self-care is important for maintaining energy, alleviating stress, and improving focus. It prevents burnout and improves overall performance.
Taking regular breaks even if it's just for a few minutes prevents burnout and increases productivity. It can be leaving your desk to get something, or stretching if you're sitting behind a desk all day.
Communicating with higher-ups about work needs and realistic expectations for work, about having a flexible schedule. Communication helps to create a positive work environment.
Always evaluate your work-life balance and make changes where needed.
The importance of a work-life balance is not just an individual thing but a collective responsibility that society must recognize and support. By acknowledging that, we can create a culture that promotes overall well-being and individual fulfillment leading to increased productivity, improved mental well-being and overall quality of life.

Social media on communication and relationships by Atilade Faith.
Social media on communication and relationships.
Social media is an effective tool for communication and as much as it is effective it has both positive and negative impacts on relationships and communication. It helps people stay connected from anywhere and anytime but it also allows less quality in-person time; that is you can’t have a gathering without half of the people there engaging their phones and social media apps. According to Margaret E. Morris, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of To Our Own Devices: Outsmarting Smart Technology to Reclaim Our Relationships, Health, and Focus, it is not the specific type of technology people use but how they use that can bring value to the relationship.
Here are some ways in which social media has impacted communication and connectivity:
Social media has made it easier for people to stay connected with friends, family, and acquaintances, regardless of location. It also helps people to communicate better and well depending on how it is used. One example according to Morris is a parent sharing a self-help app with a child to work through an argument. Using such social media tools, and texting through an argument, may also help some people communicate through writing. This allows a person time and space to develop the right words when face-to-face conversations prove difficult.
Enhanced social support: Social media provides a platform for people to seek and receive support from their networks during times of need.
Increased exposure to diverse perspectives: Social media can expose people to new ideas and viewpoints, leading to more open-mindedness and cultural awareness
Dissemination of information: Social media for the rapid spread of news and information, which can be both positive and negative, and true or not. It is left for us to properly discern which information to feed on.
Increased opportunities as people now widely share tips, pro tips, and information on how to go about certain things and get things done.
Social media also provides a platform for negative behaviours such as cyberbullying, and harassment. It also has an impact on self-esteem and perception. People now compare themselves and think they are not enough or doing enough.
Overall, social media has both positive, negative effects on communication and relationships. It is a tool that can improve our relationships and communication if used wisely by being careful of its potential opportunities and challenges.
