The Way We Think: Common Idioms We Use
We have powerful thoughts. Sometimes, when we get mad, we start thinking about phrases that we have heard before and we may yell them out, post them on social media, however we need to express those thoughts. But most of the time, the thoughts we have are usually sayings that we have heard and have stored in our memories. Self-expression is important. There are many proverbs and idioms as they are called but I’ll name the important ones.

The Art of Relaxation
Many of us constantly feel like we are falling behind and our to do list is never ending.

Relaxation is also a form of art, i.e., one has to learn how to relax and learn of the infinite creative ways to make ourselves feel good. Relaxation is an important process of rejuvenation and restoration after a long week of hard and taxing work.

How to Stop Avoiding Problems & Confront Them
We all know that ignoring our problems doesn’t make them go away, but unfortunately, this is standard human behavior. Psychologists call this tendency "avoidance behavior," where we try to push away problems in the back of our mind and not think of them.

A Single Focus for the Best Results
A lot of us would really like to believe that we are excellent at multitasking, but that is probably not the case. Scientists have studied brain function during ‘multitasking’ and found that our brains don’t really like to do two things at the same time.

You Need to Look After Yourself as a Carer.
Self-care is something that I became practically good at after I did therapy for my mental health problems a few years back. However, I became a registered carer last year. I am now writer, cleaner, gardener, wife and carer and I am doing most of this at home, by myself. Most carers who work in the paid profession of caring seem to think it should be easier for me because I am caring and working at home. Let me tell you straight, it is not. I do not get to have holidays or breaks from caring. I am a carer seven days a week, both day and night, I do not get a day off.
