EGO vs Inconditional Love?

Does our affect us and our relationships with people?

Definition:
"Ego" is a Latin word meaning "I", which derives from the Greek word "Εγώ (Ego)" meaning "I", often used in English to mean the "self", "identity" or other related concepts.

I am comparing ego and love because sometimes without realizing our ego does affect our love.

Have you ever felt incapable to say "I love you"? Or to express your feelings?
Have you ever found hard to say "sorry"? or to "forgive" anyone?
Have you ever felt stacked? or unable to go forward?
Have you ever need help and you have not been able to ask for it?
Have you even been helped and not able to say "thank you"?

Well these and many more questions could be answered by our EGO!
I am not saying it is all about it, but sometimes it is and we just don't want to accept it.

I named unconditional love on the title because if you have ever though about loving unconditionally to someone, you might need to leave your ego on the side.

Note: Ego maybe useful for many other things for example getting what you want in the way you want! To get business done, to keep you confident and so on, but many times would be very useful to leave it on the side. As usual, try to find the balance by observing yourself and the results you get.

The smell of love - How not to miss him or her

Pheromones. We've also all heard of them, but what actually are they and how do they effect us? Cue boring science-y bit, let's learn something together. Pheromones are a type of hormone that operate outside of the body and send signals which are received through the nose. These signals effect members of the same species in either a physical or emotional way. NOTE. I am going to confess something by the end of this article, so read the whole of it or go to the end! According to research conducted in Sweden using brain imaging, men and women can send and respond to these signals through an area in the brain called the hyperthalamos which deals with sexual behaviour and emotions specifically. So what we are really saying here is that men (or women) looking to get some action, release the smell of I-am-looking-for-action and that someone will respond to this, all without words. You know that feeling you get when you first meet someone and you are way n...

Unconditional love, or not really?

The idea of unconditional love is...interesting... First of all, let's start with some questions because I have a lot to say regarding this particular issue (let´s say challenge). Why do we like love? Why do we crave unconditional love? Who decided that that unconditional love was what we wanted, biologically we are not meant to be monogamous are we? And finally... Do you really want unconditional love? Do we really want love or have we just been programmed by Disney to believe that we are all Princesses lost in our search for our Prince so that we feel like we need something more to find our 'Mr Right'? (But this is a whole other rant about consumerism for another time...). Of all the ways you can show that you love someone, from materialistic to emotional support, why is it that we want the display of unconditional love above all else? Who took the hardest part of love and put it on a pedestal that we all now have to aim towards and feel horrible when we ...

Yesterday I Cried

I would not normally share a picture of myself in this condition. And not just because it does not happen very often, but because when it does happens, its not something I like to promote! But this time however, I thought 'come on let's do it!' There must be many people who have felt like how I felt yesterday.

It´s not me, It´s my hormones!
