Evolving Your Ego’s Defenses
Defining the Ego and Defense Mechanisms I find the ego to be such a fascinating phenomenon. On the one hand, it can be incredibly useful because it helps us make sense of the world and our place within it. This ultimately allows us to navigate the complexity of our lives. On the other hand, it gets us all wrapped in ourselves and involved in sticky situations in our daily lives. And it often does so in insidious ways, or at least in ways that are unconscious to us.

Educated Zombies
You look down at your feet as you climb the steps, eyes swollen and heavy from the all-nighter you pulled to finish all of your college class homework, and can’t help but wonder if all your hard work is worth it. Website Grown and Flown says only 15 percent of teenagers are getting the recommended 8-10 hours of sleep. What does that do to a person?

Why It's Important To Make Time To Be Sad
Many times feelings that manifest in one area, are just an expression of a deeper issue. Often I will come home from work, feeling pissed and angry at all the craziness of the day or carry out anger to people I care about because some unjust incident happened to me at random. It is in these cases that I will mostly desire to throw everything out of the window and quit while opening a candy-shop in some exotic place where I can spend my time instead. But how many times have I really delve into the deeper issues, to acknowledge what is really going on? Instead of speaking about them or dealing with what bothers me effectively, I will just take my sit on the couch, watch a show on TV or Netflix and end my day numbing myself out. I mean this is the normal way for an adult man to deal with it, no?

5 Easy Ways To Incorporate Mindfulness Into Daily Life
Mindfulness is living in the present moment deliberately and non-judgmentally. Although physically you may be present here, we are so used to our quick fixes, hectic routines that we are either preoccupied with our past or worried about the future. When we are in these two time zones we are not in the now moment. We must understand that now is all there is.

How Exercise Can Improve Your Mental Health
Image Source: Envato How do you know if exercising improves mental health or not? While there's little debate that exercise is crucial for your overall physical health, what you might not be aware of is that exercise can also help you to reduce stress and improve your mental health as well. Some people have a clear understanding of the importance of exercise, but other people have a hard time believing that physical activity has such an important impact on the health of the mind. The human brain is responsible for about two-thirds of the activities in the body and mental activities play a major role in how well we perform. Exercise helps us to be mentally active and this can in turn help us live a longer and better life.

What to Do About Stress and Vision?
Stress is a part of our daily lives. Depression is good if it inspires us and bad if it tries to destroy us. Stress can work for you and can work against you. Depression is an unexpected event that causes you to feel threatened and lose balance. Stress is a form of real or imagined danger and your body responds quickly with a “fight or flight” response.

Bringing Gratefulness
In the morning it's easy to immediately become stressed. That happened to me this morning. One of the first recommendations that I deem one should not do upon waking up is to check their email. On this particular morning I did just that and three emails down was a bill. My mind went immediately into lack of gratitude. In that moment the cycle of anxiety started. Thoughts came up such as "How am I supposed to pay for that?" "I thought I already paid" etc.. At that moment some voice of my higher self came in however, and saved the day. It seemed to shout out that "This was not the way to start the day" and I begrudgingly had to agree. It was then that I started my morning routine. From that came the motivation to produce this article that I hope you will find and use or customize to fit your own flow. I do have to say though that flow is recommended, although it is often found in personal lessons that come in different ways depending on the day and how it works.

Top 10 journaling prompts for good mental health
Every morning I write a journal. On the days when I don’t write, I really notice it in my mental health. It doesn’t take long after not writing for my mental health to back up, like a gutter clogging with leaves, and I can’t work out what I feel anymore, or what is prompting me not to feel good about myself.
