The Long Good-bye to the Death of My Health
When I was 19-years-old, I started smoking cigarettes. I was in Beauty School in a new town, with new friends, and I figured why not. It was not too bad at first, but over the next couple years, I found myself getting close to two packs a day. That's nearly 40 cigarettes a day. Also, that's disgusting. Once I caught myself, I took it back a notch. More like, three notches. It was a bit tough at first, but it's a bad habit and so damned addicting.

Why Everyone Is Prioritizing Self-Care And Why Men Should To
When most men hear the term "self-care," the first thing that pops into their mind is selfishness and wimpiness. But medical experts from around the world have been preaching for years that it is important to look after yourself first. It's not a one-size fits all treatment. Self-care will be different for everyone, and that includes men. Ditch the tough-guy persona, and do not be ashamed about wanting to take care of yourself. It could be taking just a few extra minutes out of your day to concentrate on your own well-being. Treat yourself to something special before or after a stressful event. Here are just a few ideas when it comes to prioritizing self-care.

Lunch Time
Whether your lunch is with the co- workers or with the dog, taking a second to breathe and meditate can change your day. It is important to remember that while we aren't in control of everything, we have more control than we give ourselves credit.

Why Rising To The Challenge Of Reconnecting With Nature Is Worth It
Like many of my peers, I was raised in “pristine” suburbia with all of the manicured lawns but none of the vast expanses of nature that you can only truly experience in rural locales. I was always somewhat comfortable in nature, but it took time for me to feel fully at peace and open to the benefits of simply being outdoors, off the grid, by myself.

Acceptance
Over the past few years, I have been attempting to change the negative relationship that I have with my own body. It all started as a young teenager, where I, along with many other teenagers across the UK, was influenced by the media and the environment around me to believe that being thin was the ideal. With the rise of social media perpetuating this belief further towards the end of my teenager years, I began my time at university at a mere 47 kilograms, which is underweight for someone of my age and size.

8 Tips to Boost Your Energy Levels in Busy Times

Self-Care for Counselors in Training
Abstract The purpose of this work is to explore the results of four different self-care and personal wellness assessments that were taken. An analysis of the results and questions in the assessments are addressed and a correlation between all the assessments is gathered. The results act as a starting point, or a point of reference, as the entry into the counseling profession is considered and prepared for. The second portion of the work delves into specific action steps that will be carried out in an attempt at achieving overall wellness and practicing the best form of self-care. In accomplishing such, it acts as a means of fighting against the impairments that try to rise and impede progress in the counseling profession. Self-care for counselors is crucial as they are commonly predisposed to already having personality traits that are very others-focused and altruistic. Counselors should be aware of their possible impairments because it could lead to the demise of themselves, their clients, and their counseling practice.

Taking Time to Breathe in a World on Fire. Top Story - August 2020.
I don’t think I stand alone when I say that the air has been tight lately; from the global pandemic that has changed our lives forever, to the ever prevailing injustices and regressions happening in across the world. While we are a fiery generation and while I love the invigorating feeling of being part and fighting alongside movements I believe in with all of my heart and soul, the weight of it all does become heavy at times.

Thinking, Walking and Syncing
I know one thing of myself, that I am an (over)thinker a lot. I have so many thoughts going on in my mind. I am thinking about what I want to practice on the violin that moment, what I want to feed my children, what I want to write as an article today, and on which topic I want to write an article. Just name it what could be on my mind.
