Why you should meditate every day
Understanding Meditation Meditation is an age-old practice used to be present and aware. A consistent meditation practice promotes mental clarity, calmness, and stability. Many faith-based communities and religions incorporate meditation into their spiritual traditions and teachings, but the techniques are non-secular and accessible to everybody and their ability level. If you have breath in your body, then you can meditate.

Until my Last Breath
Until my Last Breath (thoughts of a chaotic mind.) By: Destiny Tozier As I sit here pondering the time that has gone by, freshly turned 35 as of January 13, a mother and a college student I question what it is I truly want from this life. Knowing I spent most of it in a chaos I could have changed or walked away from at any time, fighting battles that at the end of the day never were mine to fight, spending months at a time on a healing journey that makes me wonder if I have ever healed at all. The only victory I think I won in the war of tearing myself to the core, was the actual ability to let go of things and people that no longer or have never made me feel good nor brought anything of substance to the table because they didn't care to be a part of what was important to me.

A Life of Trauma
It is my hope that one day the world will see suicide differently, and that by changing the stigma around suicide that more people will be willing to not only admit that they are not okay, but that when they do, the people around them will have better resources to help them. Why is this so important to me? Well, I’d be happy to tell you. But please be aware, this story might contain triggers and be a little intense for some.

Enter Inner Child
I am a Texan. A pick yourself up by your bootstraps, Texan. I was a strong believer in a strong approach. It wasn't that I lacked empathy. It was more so, that I believed life didn't care, either way about your story. And to some extent this is all true. We have to choose happiness. But how does one do that?

Do You Suck At Forgiving?
Pain. A great teacher but a terrible master. I come across many references such as “pain is inevitable, suffering is optional” or “no pain, no gain” rather often. This happens online or it could be just in casual conversation. Of all the phrases out there, one of them catches my attention more than the rest. Probably because I'm finding myself in situations that call for it quite a bit.

Why Do We Give Up On Ourselves?
One of the attributes that sets us apart from every other living creature is the ability to formulate and execute long term goals that fulfill our passions and desires. So why do precious few of us ever see our goals come to fruition? What keeps us from doing the things we really want? I have come to believe the answer to that question, more often than not, is self-sabotage. I am sure that many of us have experienced this: you have a goal or a dream, and before you know it, you are no longer confident in your ability to see it through. We convince ourselves that our dreams are unachievable. But why? Perhaps my personal experience with this will offer some helpful insight. I would like to explore this topic in greater depth in the future, but I suppose you have to start somewhere.
