The Book Of Proverb|Book Review|

It is not many times you pick up a book and it be something you have actually needed.
Tebogo Thekisho also known as ProVerb is not someone who is new to our TV screens. Host of the popular musical TV show Idols, you might see him on your TV every Sunday. What I love most about this book is that ProVerb did not hold back. He also addresses the affair that his ex-wife had and their divorce.
It is amazing to see his evolution from being a rapper to an entrepreneur, this book shows you that life is what you make of it. He starts by describing his upbringing, in which he was raised by two hard-working parents who were well educated. He also talks about his close bond with his grandmother, sister and half-brothers. He also regrets not taking his education seriously and not utlising the opportunities he was given by his parents. He also realises that coming from a home were his parents were seperated pushed him to want a picture perfect family which later turned into turmoil. It is great to read about a man who has strong family relations and respects women. He also shares his suicide attempt and how Idols saved him. I love how recent this book is as ProVerb covers the Covid-19 pandemic,how it affected his life and how important it is to find inner peace. If you are going through a hard time this book is what you need. If you are also into Hip-Hop/rap like I am you might enjoy the small rap verses from his own songs at the beginning of each chapter. I a hundred percent recommend this book. It is a 5/5 for me.

Are you lazy or just burned out?

Good day, my love bugs. In a world that glorifies productivity, resilience, and endless multi-tasking, many women find themselves quietly battling a double-edged sword: executive dysfunction and emotional burnout. These terms can be intimidating, but they are deeply personal and often misunderstood, especially in women with functional depression. What is executive dysfunction? Kendra Kubala from Healthline wrote in her article Understanding Executive Dysfunction and How It Shows Up that executive dysfunction disrupts the brain's ability to plan, focus, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks. It affects the executive functions of the brain, which are skills that help us get things done. It is not laziness or lack of willpower. It is often linked to mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. For many women, executive dysfunction looks like: Starting tasks but never finishing them. Constantly missing deadlines or appointments Feeling overwhelmed ...

Spiritual bypassing and its danger to mental health

Kendra Cherry on Verywellmind describes spiritual bypassing as a tendency to use spiritual explanation to avoid complex psychological issues. My main issue with spiritual bypassing is the notion that one's struggle with mental health is a result of not practicing religion or spirituality enough. It is no surprise that when a person is going through a tough time they lean more on their spirituality and there is nothing wrong with that. However, it has come to my attention over the years how people use spirituality to deflect their trauma. Deflecting trauma Our brains work in amazing ways the human body is built to be sufficient. Our brain will block out certain events because it is trying to protect us from psychological stress. Spiritual bypassing is a way the self-harm or to promote harmony between people mentions Cherry. Spirituality is a force that helps an individual well-being however spiritual bypassing does not resolve the issue it merely glosses over the problem. Facing y...

The Years That Have Questions

Good day, my love bugs. I have the world's cutest niece who recently turned four. How quick time files. So, my niece asks a lot of questions, most of which consist of "what's that", "where is so and so", "That's a- insert color or shape here", which are pretty valid questions if you are sharpening your identifying and confirmation skills. It made me think about how there are always questions in life. When we are younger, it is questions regarding shapes, people, and the world that spark our curiosity. As we get older, the questions shift to our identity and purpose. That is what has entailed my 2025, I have been asking myself several questions, from 'What do I want out of life?' to 'Who am I?' It is not the questions that scare me, but the fact that I do not have the answers to them. A year ago, I would have given lengthy answers to these, but now I do not know. Maybe I do know, and I am just afraid of coming to te...
