... Read moreAdopting an Above Average Mindset is truly transformative and empowering. In my own experience, shifting away from living reactively—driven by anxiety, fear, or mere survival—toward proactively crafting life from the best version of myself has opened doors I never thought possible. This mindset shift isn’t about perfection but about consistently choosing to prioritize growth and authenticity. One effective way I've cultivated this mindset is through daily reflection and intentional affirmations that reinforce self-worth and resilience. Instead of letting fear limit decisions, I remind myself that discomfort often precedes growth. Embracing this has helped me navigate life's challenges with greater calm and clarity. Another helpful practice is surrounding myself with communities committed to healing and mindset growth. Engaging with support groups or forums centered around #HealingJourney and #mindsetshift can keep motivation strong and offer valuable perspectives. Sharing struggles and victories alike creates a sense of belonging and accountability. Remember, living authentically means honoring your true desires and values instead of conforming to external pressures. It’s a gradual process requiring patience and self-compassion. But the payoff is a life designed by your best self—full of purpose, courage, and joy rather than anxiety or fear. Keep nurturing that Above Average Mindset, even on tough days, and you’ll find it shapes a meaningful, resilient path forward.

The image features rumpled grey bedding with the text "SEX how often is normal?" in white, asking about normal sex frequency. A Lemon8 logo with a username is in the bottom left corner.
This image displays statistics on average sex frequency: 53 times per year for couples, 80 for 20s-30s, 60 for 45-65, and 20 for 65+. The text is against a brown wall and white bedding.
The image states that couples having sex more than once a week didn't report increased happiness, but those with less than once a week reported decreased satisfaction. It emphasizes that partner happiness is most important.
Sex Frequency… how do you measure up?
sex is an important part of most long term relationships, but how often sex happens can vary from relationship to relationship. according to a 2017 study, on average individuals have sex 54 times per year or about once per week. this number increases to 80 times times per year if you look exclu
