    7 Signs You Might Be Scared of...

    Intimacy is a fundamental part of human relationships, yet for many, it can feel overwhelming, even terrifying. While the desire for deep emotional connection exists, fear often creates barriers that prevent meaningful bonds from forming. This fear of intimacy can manifest in various ways—some obvious, others more subtle—causing individuals to push people away, sabotage relationships, or struggle with vulnerability. Understanding these signs is the first step toward breaking free from the patterns that keep love and closeness at a distance.  
      
    Many people who fear intimacy are unaware of their struggle, believing their actions stem from a need for independence or personal space. While autonomy is essential, there is a significant difference between healthy boundaries and emotional avoidance. For those who experience anxiety around deep emotional or physical closeness, relationships can become a source of stress rather than comfort. The walls built to protect against hurt and rejection can also prevent the fulfillment that comes with genuine connection.  
      
    Fear of intimacy is not an isolated issue—it is often rooted in past experiences. Childhood attachment patterns, past heartbreaks, or even societal influences can shape one’s ability to trust and connect with others. If a person grew up in an environment where emotional needs were ignored or dismissed, they may learn to suppress their own feelings to avoid pain. Likewise, repeated experiences of betrayal or disappointment in relationships can reinforce the belief that intimacy leads to hurt, causing a person to unconsciously avoid closeness.

    Remotivation is a vital guide to help you thrive at work and beyond - no matter where you're located! 
    The book is designed to help you create your own version of success by showing you how to activate 6 key motivations to work: money, identity, routines, growth, impact, and joy. 
    Sarah Aviram worked remotely as a Human Resources leader from 12 different countries in 12 months while researching the future of work - from co-working spaces in Mexico City and Medellin, to cafes in Kuala Lumpur and Kyoto. 
    Many remote workers she met and interviewed, thought that having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere would make them feel happier and more motivated at work. But then they found themselves working from the beach in Bali still feeling stuck and unfulfilled. 
    Aviram realized that being able to work from anywhere was only a band aid solution for a much bigger challenge: not being motivated by the work itself. 
    Through fun inspirational stories, research, and her HR expertise, Aviram shows you how to tackle challenges that might be getting in the way of your fulfillment like the pressure of others’ expectations, the guilt you have about what you “should” be doing, and inertia of routines that don’t support your goals. You’ll also be empowered with the tools you need to create more opportunities for impact, tactics to develop new skills, and ways to do more work you enjoy – whether from the office, your home, or the beach!

    Maxwell Maltz (1889-1975) was a plastic surgeon best known for his bestseller, "Psycho-Cybernetics." In the book, Maltz explains a system of ideas that he thought could improve a person’s self-image and would help that person to live a more successful and fulfilling life. His ideas focus on visualizing one's goals. Maltz believed if a person’s self-image was unhealthy or poor, all of his or her efforts would end in failure. This recording is part of a lecture Maltz gave on Psycho-Cybernetics' key principles.

    "Can human problems be solved? - 27 September 1980 
    • Why have human beings throughout the world not been able to resolve human, 
    daily problems of life? What are the things that prevent the solution of these 
    problems completely? 
    • When there is attention there is no centre from which I attend. 
    • A poor man wants to be rich and a rich man wants to be richer. It is a movement 
    of becoming, becoming, both outwardly and inwardly. Though it brings a great deal of pain and sometimes pleasure, this sense of becoming, fulfilling, achieving psychologically has made my life into all that it is. 
    • Is love something that is common to all of us? 
    • From the particular move to the general, from the general move away still 
    deeper, and there perhaps is this purity of that thing called compassion, love and intelligence. But that means giving your mind and heart to this. Your whole being must be involved in this."

    Middle Ages - Medieval Events...

    This is a combo book about the middle ages, which comprises the following titles: 
    1 - Middle Ages: In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or Middle Ages time period lasted around from the fifth to the late 15th centuries, likewise to the postclassical period of worldwide history. It started with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. 
    2 - Black Death: Here we have it: We may be looking at the years 2020-2021 and think a certain virus has been bad for the world population. However, what happened in these two years is nothing, proportionally, to the hundreds of millions of people who got wiped out by rat infestations spreading insanitary bacteria, resulting in the disease and death of huge parts of the European population in the mid-centuries. 
    The genesis or origin of the Black Death is a point of contention. The epidemic started in Central Asia or East Asia, but it wasn't till 1347 that it made its conclusive presence in Crimea. It spread out through the Mediterranean Basin, reaching Africa, Western Asia, and the remainder of Europe through Constantinople, Sicily, and the Italian Peninsula, probably brought by fleas surviving on black rats carried by Genoese servant ships. 
    3 - Crusaders: The Crusades are one of those dark chapters in history that we would rather forget, especially religious people. In name of the church, or other religions, like the Muslim faith, people killed, destroyed, looted, and burned cities to the ground. There is nothing “holy” about attacking and plundering, yet this is what they did. 
    The Crusades were a series of spiritual fights in the Middle Ages period that were begun, supported, and sometimes ordered by the Latin Church.
