The importance of self-care is paramount; enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain control under pressure.
Our Obsession With Social Media
Do you ever find yourself aimlessly scrolling through social media to pass the time? Scrolling through countless memes and posts, your eyes glazing over…Does it actually hinder your mental health? We digest countless of messages, posts, videos and opinions every day. We are told we need to care about every single one. Every ‘ping’ of a notification releases a tiny dose of endorphins, which leaves us craving more. But the more we consume, the more it chips away at us. Have you ever completely turned off your phone, or deleted an app and felt a sense of surprising relief? Not because your phone had died – but, because you genuinely wanted to take a break. As a society, we are constantly exposed to everything that is happening around the world, and in our social circles. Social media, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are our common mediums for this. It is important to stay “in the know” – but how much can social media use take a toll on us?

Low Energy Days
Today I woke up to what I call a 'low energy day'. I decided years ago that I would use this term anytime I am feeling low and I am in fear that my depression is resurfacing. After unnecessary panicking, sometimes it turns out that it is just a day or two of feeling disconnected and unmotivated. Rarely is it the start of a major depressive episode. In cognitive behavioral therapy, we learn that our word choices are critically important and can impact how we feel. A ‘depressed’ day feels hopeless but a ‘low energy’ day is something I feel like I can manage through with the hopes of a brighter tomorrow.

Heaven on Earth
This virus is teaching us that not even the human race are permanent. That no matter how much destruction we cause on Mother Gia; she will be here flourishing. Giving re-birth to the plants and creatures that habitats this planet, we call home. The human race is Mother Gia shadow aspect. We are her 'Shadow Self'. Every living thing on this planet has a cycle they are following or on the path of. That includes Earth. - There are things we can't comprehend due to our level of understanding of how the universe works. We are in barking towards a completely different change. Not as individuals but as a whole. -

Be Gone, Thoughts!
You know those annoying, often disturbing and weird thoughts you have that come out of nowhere? You could be lighting a nice smelling candle, and all of a sudden, your brain will say something along the lines of: "Burn your house down!" Maybe you even feel tempted to act on it, and come close to actually burning something. Pretty scary stuff, right? Well, that would be the work of an intrusive thought.

What Holds Back Subliminal Results? Part 1
If you've been on my channel for a while, you'll probably remember the food and drink theme. I built it around a concept of comparing subliminals to edible things, with affirmations equivalent to energy and nutrients absorbed from foods and drinks. But just as some people may not receive the effects they expect from what they physically consume, subliminal listeners often find that they are not receiving desired results. The absence or temporary nature of results is not due to a single factor, but rather varies from person to person. Here, I will be discussing reasons I have deduced for lack of results, based on observations, feedback, and my own experience.

This is your heart on stress.
Stress is not just a state of mind; it can have an incredible impact on the body as well. I learned this firsthand, when I had a full-blown heart attack at the tender age of 32. My story serves as a cautionary tale: it is an urgent plea to seek help when you are overwhelmed, and a reminder to prioritize your self-care. It can literally mean the difference between life and death.

Why we should all be going on dates with ourselves
For the past few months I've been seeing someone new. I met her after we discovered our shared interest in poetry. She's loving, kind and caring. She really 'gets me' like no one ever has before. And dates with her have been a breeze.

Ego Death: How to Say Goodbye to Parts of the Self
Death of Self. There I said it. In all of its glory I bask in the word death. A word that modern society has placed such a dark and dirty connotation on. Ego death is a glorious, liberating and albeit oftentimes painful process of letting go. A rebirthing process. But what is the ego anyway?
