selfcare

The importance of self-care is paramount; enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain control under pressure.

Am I Cracking the Self-care Code?
Today I did something I’ve never done before. Something I never imagined I would do. Funny, I thought it would be a tougher decision; I assumed I would argue with myself, and then pile on the shame and disappointment.

Dreams!
Dreaming is the communication between our conscious mind and our unconscious mind. A dream is a succession of ideas, thoughts, pictures, emotions, and sensation that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. An average human spends approximately two hours on dreaming every single night, and the duration for which each dream lasts is around 5 to 20 minutes.

A healthy, balanced life requires genuine self-love. This means not only loving the good qualities you possess, but also being able to sincerely accept your flaws and shortcomings.

Some ‘Me Time’ - New Year, New Resolution
Thinking about the New Year's Resolution for the upcoming year, my heart wonders about all the things that human promises and impose on oneself. From performing hard to working hard these resolutions can only support one with going up and matching steps with the world but is that all is worth it if we lack to take care of our self, what I feel is every year we should promise to add on one good habit that is good for our health and can improve our overall living.

Hearing
He would ask me questions about my traumatic past as if he were searching for explanations. He would make connections to things his mutual friends have been through.

Mental Health Resolutions for 2022
The beginning of a new year is a deep breath. For all the talk about starting over when the clock strikes midnight, it's more of a chapter break than a new story. We can choose to leave certain behaviors behind, but we don't have the option to unload everything that has shaped us into who we are.

Selflessness or Self-sabotage?
Even superheroes sometimes need saving. Damp it down, my friend. Breath, and let the moment whizz past you. Take a break occasionally from being a good person all the time.

Using Mindfulness To Manage Toxic Thoughts
‘Wherever you are, be there totally.’ — Eckhart Tolle Some days, meditation can seem like a chore. It can feel like you are totally out of focus for the entire session. That your mind is wandering out of control, and it is all you can do to stop yourself from getting off the mat and ending the session early. Perhaps you are plagued by embarrassing memories, find yourself bombarded by strong emotions, or are simply falling asleep. Whatever the reason, that meditation session just sucked. Please do not stress, this happens to everyone. It is not a sign of regression, or that you are meditating incorrectly. The truth is that you can only have the meditation you are having. Whatever happens, happens and that is okay.

No Gain, No Shame
The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc upon the world -- and our mental health. Beyond the more obvious effects that the threat of disease and the loss of loved ones has had, the ways we adapted to these threats has also contributed to or exacerbated depression and anxiety.

“Want to be happier? Stay in the moment." - Matt Killingsworth
When I first stumbled my way through the list of Ted Talk options I did not immediately gravitate to this particular one. I watched a handful of videos from the list but none of them sparked my interest enough to write an entire paper on. However, when I looked at the list one last time the title caught my eye. Within the first thirty seconds of Dr. Matt Killingsworth's lecture, I knew that this was the video that I had been waiting for and could invest my energy into a worthy response. Let’s not forget that the length of the video was only ten minutes, therefore, even more appealing.

My mental health breakdown & recovery journey
I remember, back in 2015, when it feels too hard to do anything. Everything seemed too stressful at that time. Waking up, eating, working, exercising, doing dishes, or even going to bed… Anytime I had to expend any effort (physically or mentally), it was like a big wave of “please no, I don’t want to, I can’t”.
