The Psychology of Interpersonal Attraction - Social & Emotional Wellness.

By Marië Joshua-Querido June 19, 2012

The Psychology of Interpersonal Attraction - Social & Emotional Wellness. Interpersonal attraction refers to positive feelings about another person. It can take many forms, including liking, love, friendship, infatuation, lust, and admiration. Interpersonal attraction is the attraction between people which leads to friendships and romantic relationships. Interpersonal attraction, as in the process, is distinct from perceptions of physical attractiveness which involves views of what is and is not considered beautiful or attractive. In other words it goes beyond aesthetics, or what you may consider as being ‘ physically hot...’ The study of interpersonal attraction is a major area of research in social psychology. Interpersonal attraction is related to how much we like, dislike, or hate someone. It can be viewed as a force acting between two people that tends to draw them together and resist their separation. When measuring interpersonal attraction, o...

The eccentric & free spirit 'hybrid...' bizarre excellence!

By Marië Joshua-Querido May 09, 2014

The eccentric & free spirit 'hybrid…' Bizarre excellence! “We walk amongst you every day, some may love us some may despise us… ” Have you ever felt like you were born in the wrong era in the wrong place and perhaps at the wrong time? Surrounded by people who just don’t see and feel what you see in the world around you? Has your open mind and free thinking landed you in some hot water with the more conventional and conservative thinkers? Are people telling you “No, we don’t do it like that” or “Stop trying to be something that you are not!”? Are you the kind of person who is considered the oddball by mainstream folk because of your diverse interests and how you go about engaging and connecting with life in general? Are you creative beyond imagination, with a quirky eclectic sense of style? Do you see the world in technicolor, have diverse interests, and dance to the music in your head. Do you have all your fi...

Reinvent yourself - Change the way you live your life!

By Marië Joshua-Querido January 09, 2014

Reinventing yourself – Change the way you live your life. The topic of reinventing one’s self is a life theme that is particularly close to my heart. In fact as I write this blog post I feel my eyes begin to well up with tears of positive emotion and immense passion. There is just so much to say about this topic. Reinventing yourself takes courage and a great amount of strength and determination. Once you decide that you want something different for yourself, for your life, then that is when the magic begins. There is something wondrous that is awakened deep within the chasms of your soul and psyche, and that awakening is your awareness. Once the proverbial light has switched on and you are finally at home within yourself to see, then and only then can you begin the adventure of your life, to live, love and appreciate every moment of it! What does it mean to reinvent yourself? Simply put, it means to change the way you live and or exist. To change your lif...

Self-acceptance as a catalyst for flourishing in your life – live your extraordinary life!

By Marië Joshua-Querido September 25, 2013

Self-acceptance as a catalyst for flourishing in your life – live your extraordinary life! In psychology self-acceptance is defined as affirmation or acceptance of self in spite of weaknesses or deficiencies. It’s got to do with accepting the good with the bad, the positive and the negative aspects of yourself, as well as being completely comfortable in your own skin. This is easier said than done for most people. Self-acceptance can be one of the most challenging and difficult life shifts one can make, but it's also the most rewarding and life-changing! According to Shepard (1979), self-acceptance refers to an individual's satisfaction or happiness with himself, and is thought to be necessary for good mental health. Self- acceptance involves self-understanding; meaning a realistic, albeit subjective, awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses. It results in an individual feeling that he/she is of "unique worth" in spite o...

Kissing, it’s all in a kiss…The science of kissing - Philematology

By Marië Joshua-Querido May 11, 2013

Kissing, it’s all in a kiss… The science of kissing - Philematology Hmmm kissing, yummy, delicious, sensual… Just imagine it, the initial exhilarating - electrifying attraction. Before your lips actually make magnetic contact, there is that intoxicating, dizzying, barely there, close proximity, intensity - eyes with a downward gaze, fixed on the fleshy facial objects of desire. By this stage your bodies are connected by parallel contact of some form. This is the ultra-sensual, pheromone like, hypnotic pull towards each others inviting luscious lips… Then, in a trance like state, there is the deep automatic inhalation and the final lip lick, just split seconds before your blood filled, moist & ready lips pucker up and engage with one another’s . We explore with our tongues, caress with our lips. Unconsciously, we inhale deeply - Olfactory senses kick in! We are literally breathing in each others scent, and tasting each others saliva. Th...

The empowered woman - Warrior Woman!

By Marië Joshua-Querido August 02, 2013

What is women's empowerment? Women's empowerment has five components: A women's sense of self-worth ; Their right to have and to determine choices ; Their right to have access to opportunities and resources ; Their right to have the power to control their own lives , both within and outside the home; Their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and economic order , nationally and internationally. (UN’s definition of women’s empowerment) How do we become more empowered? Become self-aware. Forgive yourself if need be and accept who you are. Know yourself and be very comfortable in your own skin! That way, nobody will have power over you! Know that you are worthy and have a right to be here or there, to ask for what is needed, and to be heard. Don't believe the lie that you can't, are not worthy, or that you are incapable as a person, or a woman! It's just not true. Educate...

Platonic friendships and your well-being, how do we maintain our platonic friendships????

By Marië Joshua-Querido April 04, 2013

Platonic friendships and your well-being Platonic friendships, opposite sex bonding and attraction patterns… Is it possible to maintain & sustain a friendship with the opposite sex, or of the same sex if gay, without actually having SEX? As an eternal ‘TOM-BOY’ “Definition - noun - an energetic, sometimes boisterous girl whose behavior and pursuits, especially in games and sports, are considered more typical of boys than of girls.” ... And as a ‘ FREE SPIRIT’ “definition - noun - a person with a highly individual or unique attitude, lifestyle, or imagination; nonconformist. I can tell you that it is highly possible! Meaningful deep friendships between heterosexual opposite genders (or same sex if gay) are possible, yet can be tricky, especially if at times feelings may become blurred or confused. The important thing is to think through the attraction! The initial attraction that you may feel towards your friend of the oppos...
