The Loud Minority and the Manufactured Narrative
When President Trump appeared at the Washington Commanders versus Detroit Lions game, the media wasted no time turning it into a national spectacle. Headlines shouted that America had booed its own president, declaring it proof that the country was ashamed of its leader. Clips of jeering crowds were shared endlessly, accompanied by commentary claiming that even America’s favorite sport had rejected him.

Do you know your Breaking Point?
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Second opinion" in regards to medical advice? It occurred often when a professional medical advisor stated something unbelievable or unwanted. That may seem odd to you, but what is even more surprising, is that many have sought a "second opinion" in such matters, and found what they were looking for. Your BMI alerts one trained professional to tell you that you are obese, while only 20 pounds overweight. Yet another doctor who had previously been a Sumu wrestler says you are perfectly healthy. Sometimes a second opinion is the way to go.

The potentials of yoga in helping you get better sleep
The potentials of yoga in helping you get better sleep Many people believe that yoga is all about experiencing pure ecstasy through the union of the mind, the soul, and the body.

When the Chaos Stops: What Healing Really Feels Like
This is what healing feels like once the chaos stops. It’s not fireworks or victory parades. It’s the quiet after a battle — a silence that hums in your bones, leaving you unsure whether to rest or run. After leaving an abuser, you begin to understand how much energy survival really took. You were living on adrenaline for months, maybe years, keeping yourself small and alert to every shift in mood, every potential storm. Now that the noise is gone, the body starts to shake loose all that it held.

How a mushroom trip led me to discover I’m actually left-handed. Content Warning.
One day, out of nowhere, I discovered I could write with my left hand. Throughout my life, I had written with my right hand. There was a strange indicator that something was off. As a child, I would help my grandma with dishes; she would randomly ask if I was actually left-handed. At this point, I didn’t think much of it. When I became an adult, I would occasionally remember her bringing it up. She had dementia at the end of her life. I had taken that question to be a part of the disease. Years have passed, as has she, so I will never get to ask her about it. However, last May, I was high on mushrooms, leading me to, for some reason, try writing with my left hand. My handwriting was nicer than my right hand. I was 38 years old when this happened.

The Introverts Guide to Getting Out of the House More
The Myers-Briggs personality test is an accurate way of knowing whether you are an introvert or not. Some of us introverts (including yours truly, who has swayed between an INTJ and an ISTP on this test) can be extroverted sometimes as well; yet if you have an "I" at the start of your personality test result, or you just know in your heart of hearts that you are a true introvert is that you are most "in your element" when you are at home, whether by choice or through some form of quarantine. When you know you know right?

Psychology of Overthinking and How It Hijacks Focus
It starts small. A single thought you should’ve let go of hours ago. But you don’t — you hold it, turn it over, try to understand it better. Then another thought shows up. Then ten more. Before you know it, it’s midnight, and you’re still in the same place, same circle, same noise.
