The Power of Positive Thinking
How are you doing? How is life treating you at the moment? Life doesn't need to crash completely for you to feel "down on your luck." A failed promotion, or work project that didn't go as planned, or a missed opportunity can set you back months.

The goal appears to be to take over the entire Western Hemisphere piece by piece. If you have teenage children, then you may unfortunately will have to send them to war if these conflicts continue.

Mirror, Mirror - Who Do You See?
Hey, how are you feeling today? Have you taken some time for yourself today? If you are a trauma survivor, the answer is probably not.

No risk, no reward in the traditional sense. It sounded like a watered-down version of something meant to be thrilling. But once I actually spent time with those games, that assumption slowly fell apart.

Have you ever noticed that a single criticism can overshadow a dozen compliments? Or that a stressful incident lingers in your memory far longer than a joyful moment? This phenomenon is known as negativity bias, a cognitive tendency where the brain prioritizes negative experiences over positive ones.

When Saying “No” Feels Strange
He did not plan to smoke that day. He was standing outside his school gate, bag on his back, waiting for the van. A boy from his class took out a vape. Another smiled and asked him to try. He refused at first. Everyone laughed, not loudly, not cruelly just enough to make him feel small.
