How To Keep Going Through A Crisis
At times of crisis, it doesn’t matter how well regulated your emotions are, what your spiritual practice is, how often you meditate, dissociate from your emotions or think positively. It’s going to feel like life has knocked you onto your arse and is giving you a good kicking. Rest assured, you will find a strength that you didn’t know you had but I’m not going to pretend that it’s going to be easy.

How To Trust The Process When It Feels Like You're Working Hard and Getting Nowhere
Are you a hard worker but getting nowhere? Do you feel like the harder you work, the more things seem to slip through your fingers? Do you sometimes feel as though life is playing some kind of joke on you, and that the cards are stacked against you in every game? Maybe it’s time to start trusting the process. To thrive in any situation and achieve success, we must learn to trust the process. When we trust the process, we see every experience as a stepping stone toward our ultimate goal. We know that everything happens for a reason, and that even if something feels unfair at the time, it’s all part of a bigger plan. Trusting the process means believing that although things may not be going according to plan right now, everything will work out for the best in the long run.

The symbolism of two koi: The stories and thoughts behind our painting《The romantic love》
Koi in the water are not only beautiful, but they are also treasures of feng shui. They blend the aura of heaven and earth and carry the pride of water. The ancients believed that good Feng Shui can store wind, store "Qi"（氣）, and get water. "Qi" is circulating all the time. It is easy to be blown away by the wind and break the balance of the cycle. But it stops when it meets water. Therefore, water can make the circulation of "Qi" smooth, that is, it can keep people's luck. The koi mascot in the water can regulate the flow of "Qi" and maintain the aura between heaven and earth.

Labels, Why You Should Hate them?
Labels, we call them. All of us need to be defined it seems. Health labels, social labels, school labels. We are taught at a very young age that words define us. We are supposed to think that it's okay if people see you a certain way. That it should be acceptable.

Emotional Neglect
Emotional neglect differs widely from physical abuse and other types of abuse in that it is not always intentional. However, the damage from it leads to long term suffering and trauma. Emotional neglect is when a parent may have too high expectations for their child, not be sensitive to their child’s needs or be dismissive of their emotional needs. Most of the time the parent has suffered this same issue with their family and passes it along to their child. It can take many years of therapy to undo the damage from this. Here are eight signs that appear in adulthood that are attributed to emotional neglect as a child.

How To communicate with A Narcissist
When communicating with a Narcissist, the number one thing to do is don’t. If you do not have to engage with this individual, walk away, close down the phone, lose their number, and change yours. Leave your ego on the shelf no matter what they say, because getting a rise out of you is just what they’re looking for and it feeds their need for dominance. They like making your life miserable and making you look crazy and hysterical. The more you react, the more it pleases them. Don’t engage, walk away.
