Betrayal and Relationship

It's been several time had betrayed the trust they had earn but some I freely give to them because I think they deserve it. Moreover, every time I gave a chance to make things work between us or to the person that I am dealing with, it always came to an end. I am tired to giving and trying to let them earn trust coming through. My energy gone to waste of giving chances to the people that they deserve. There's called self betrayal by denying yourself that I am not in pain and not hurting pretending to people that I am okay. That I can surpass trials and challenges with flying colors. Every time somebody betrayed me, I feel that I betrayed myself in one way or another.

Counseling can be a highly effective and beneficial treatment for individuals struggling with depression.

Here are some of the key benefits of counseling for depression:

Emotional Support: Counseling provides a safe and supportive environment where individuals can express their feelings and thoughts without judgment. This can help people with depression feel heard and understood, reducing feelings of isolation.

Identifying Triggers: A counselor can help individuals identify the underlying causes and triggers of their depression. By understanding these factors, individuals can work on addressing them and developing coping strategies.

Learning Coping Skills: Counseling equips individuals with practical coping skills and strategies to manage their depression. These skills may include stress reduction techniques, problem-solving strategies, and emotion regulation techniques.

Setting Realistic Goals: A counselor can assist in setting achievable goals and creating a structured plan for overcoming depression. This can help individuals regain a sense of purpose and motivation.

Improved Self-Esteem: Depression often leads to negative self-perception. Counseling can help individuals challenge and reframe negative self-talk, leading to improved self-esteem and self-worth.

Medication Management: For individuals prescribed medication for depression, counseling can complement pharmacological treatment by ensuring proper medication management and monitoring for side effects.

Enhanced Communication: Depression can strain relationships. Counseling can improve communication skills, helping individuals express their needs and feelings to loved ones more effectively.

Preventing Relapse: Counseling can teach individuals how to recognize early warning signs of depression relapse and develop strategies to prevent it from recurring.

Healthy Lifestyle Changes: Counselors often address lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep, which can significantly impact mood. They can help individuals make positive changes in these areas.

Increased Self-Awareness: Counseling encourages self-reflection and self-awareness, helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their depression.

Safe Space for Grief and Loss: If depression is related to grief or loss, counseling can provide a safe space to process these emotions and work through the associated challenges.

Long-Term Well-Being: Counseling can provide tools and insights that promote long-term mental health and resilience, helping individuals not only manage depression but also thrive in the future.

It’s important to note that the benefits of counseling may vary from person to person, and the effectiveness of counseling can depend on the individual’s willingness to engage in the process. Additionally, in some cases, a combination of counseling and medication may be the most effective approach to treating depression. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, seeking help from a qualified mental health professional is a crucial step towards recovery.

Trust

In every relationship Trust should be earn not given. It will take an effort earn, rebuild and stand up on fixing any relationship. When trust is broken. Relationship is a challenge to give another chance. Honestly, I am soft hearted person and second chances no matter how they broke the trust. This goes to friendship, romantic and professional relationship too. Though no matter how hard it is, I would like to see the brighter side of it.

[the-musicsoul]

i looked in the mirror for a little too long today. my fingers feathered along my cheek, tracing my features. i don’t quite have my mothers eyes, or my fathers nose. i say quite because they although they are very similar to their creator’s, it doesnt quite fit my face.

i look in the mirror and i don’t see my mother nor my father looking back at me- aren’t children supposed to look like their parents? am i not my mothers child with our shared stubbornness and independence. am i not my fathers anger and love?

perhaps it makes a bit sense, that i look nothing such that is of my creation. i’ve always felt slightly out of place, ever so misunderstood. loved, but never truly liked.

- who am i? what am i to become?

Naomi Osaka: A Legacy of Excellence in Tennis, Entrepreneurship, and Philanthropy

Did you know Naomi Osaka, a tennis phenom, is the first Japanese player to win a single title in a Grand Slam event? Just at the age of 20, she defeated legendary Serena Williams in the 2018 US Open final and marked the beginning of a remarkable career. Starting her career from junior tournaments to dominating the biggest stage in tennis, the story of Naomi is full of determination, resilience, and not giving up, inspiring millions of people around the world.

We all know her as a tennis player but she is more than that. Beyond the court, Naomi shows her entrepreneurial spirit by launching projects and partnerships that reflect her values. She has collaborated with multiple global brands and even co-founded KINLÒ, a skincare line designed for people with darker skin tones. 

In this article, you will be reading some exclusive interesting facts about Naomi that make her a professional tennis player, an entrepreneur, and, more than this, a good human.

Early Life and Education of Naomi Osaka

Naomi was born on October 16, 1997, in Osaka, Japan, to a Haitian father, Leonard François, and a Japanese mother, Tamaki Osaka. Her childhood was shaped by her diverse background, which gave her a unique perspective on life. When Naomi was three years old, her family moved to the United States, first settling in New York and later relocating to Florida to focus on her tennis training.

Naomi’s father, inspired by how Richard Williams trained Serena and Venus Williams, took on the role of her coach. He believed in pushing Naomi to compete against older, stronger players to help her grow faster and become tougher on the court. Instead of following the typical junior tennis path, Naomi played in challenging matches that prepared her for the professional stage.

Her family made many sacrifices to support her dreams. While her mother worked long hours to provide financially, her father focused on her training. Naomi was homeschooled, which allowed her to dedicate more time to tennis. Despite facing challenges as a biracial child and an unconventional player, Naomi’s upbringing laid the foundation for her determination and resilience, setting her on the path to becoming a global tennis star.

Naomi Osaka’s Sponsors

Naomi has become a global sports icon after winning against legendary Serena Williams and creating history in Japanese tennis. Her influence has attracted several high-profile sponsors, making her the highest-paid athlete of the time.

Other brands that sponsor Naomi include Rolex (a luxury watchmaker), Yonex (which makes tennis equipment), and Procter & Gamble, with products like Gillette and Olay.

Charity Work

Naomi is worldwide famous as a tennis star, but very few people know she takes active participation in charity work and helps people. 

COVID-19 Support: During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, she and her older sister, Mari Osaka, collaborated together with UNICEF to design the limited-edition face mask to support the healthcare workers and those affected by the crisis. 

Youth Support: Naomi participates in the programs aimed at empowering young athletes and encouraging them to pursue their dreams sometimes through mentorships and donations.

Support for Haiti: To help the eartquake victims in Haiti, Naomi donated her prize money collected from the 2020 Western & Southern Open.

3. She has deep connection with amazing mentors: Naomi has made deep and personal connections with some of the greatest athletes of all time.
