The state of being in great health, and continually striving to attain all of your goals.
The Science of Burnout
Fatigue. Fuzziness. Irritability. Exhaustion. Existential dread. These are all symptoms of burnout, an insidious condition borne of our society’s constant need to go-go-go. No matter your profession or area of study, burnout is the inevitable consequence of working too hard. But it’s more than that. It’s a physiological and mental condition that can cause lasting harm — and even if you don’t work too hard, you might come down with a case of burnout.

The Soul’s Temperature: Dark Night
The Dark Night of the Soul is a period of spiritual transformation and growth, which comes as a result of deep pain within ourselves. It is common to experience this when our twin flames run away from us to be with a karmic partner or simply ignore our love.

Aromatherapy
I have always liked pretty scents. But some more than others. Until my Nana passed away more than 25 years ago, I never really liked the smell of English lavender. It was one of her favourites, and I remember her bathroom always smelling like it. But after her death, I found myself liking it more and more. And after studying aromatherapy, I found out it is one of the most useful essential oils out there!

9 Benefits of a Daily Nap
Napping gets a bad rap. Many people think that napping is for lazy, old, or mentally weak individuals. However, napping is common among mammals. Look at how much time your dog or cat spend napping. It’s impressive. It only makes sense that we could all benefit from a regular nap.

The POWER of Awareness
The POWER of Awareness When I gained my superpower it wasn’t through a lightning strike or a yellow sun. It wasn’t because of some super serum or magic gene splicing. It came in the quiet. It came from days upon days of stress. From night after sleepless night. My superpower didn’t find me. I sought it out, discovered it and harnessed it. Now I use it for good.

It's Okay to Not Know
A lot of times, an obsession with knowing what the future holds is really just a fear of being judged or seen as somehow less than others. But more often than not, people don't in fact know what they want their future to look like or how they will get there. Sometimes we compare ourselves to people who seem to have their lives together and know exactly what they're striving for. The truth is no one really knows what the future holds, and that's okay.

screen Time effect on vision
Many studies have shown that significant eye damage comes from the excessive screen use in a long period of time. Screen usage typically comes from computers and phones most of the time because that is what most people spend their time on a daily basis. It started when people were spending a long period of time exposing their eyes to a screen. Screen usage have developed over time, from watching TVs to working on computers to spending time on phones. By the late 1990s, 98 percent of U.S. homes had at least one television set, and those sets were on for an average of more than seven hours a day, and that was just the start of the crisis. Shortly after that, personal computers were in every office and almost every home around the world. It allowed us to be creative and connected to each other by the amount of programs developers have made and that made us feel happy, but on the other hand it made us addicted to it which has affected our vision negatively over the past few years. In 2008, the first iPhone came out and people were obsessed with it to the point where 7 million units were sold in less than a year. This number is crazily insane right now and according to the market, there are around 1.5 billion smartphones sold every year, which makes us wonder, how does that affect us as human beings? The purpose of this study was to collect the data of people who use their phones everyday and to see if they wear glasses/contacts or not. Our hypothesis is that people who spend a lot of time on their phone, typically tend to wear glasses or contacts, while people who have an average screen time have good vision. To find accurate results, we decided to survey students of our school by only making them answer two simple questions to test our hypothesis.

Why you need to fill your home with plants
Most of you know I have a slight plant obsession. This started when I took a summer job at the local greenhouse in my hometown a few summers ago. Now, wherever I live, my plants live with me. I have found out this is called "Indoor Nature Exposure" (INE) and is being used as a way of HEALTH PROMOTION. And since health promotion is one of my career goals, I thought I should do some research for you all to encourage you to fill your home with houseplants.
