Perhaps barely getting any sleep because you are doing your checklist instead? At one moment or another, the crash will come. It could be deciding to sleep instead of going out. It ...
Holidays aren’t always easy
While many of run around from holiday markets to buying presents to taking tours of the twinkling light shows in pure enjoyment, some others may be smiling on the outside, while feeling lonely or perhaps a tad bitter on the inside. The holidays are not all smiles and joy. They can lead to depression, loneliness, ...
Being grateful
Saying thank you, feeling the sense of bliss, appreciating what you have versus what you don't, being thankful for how far you've come, where you are today, and realizing what you should be grateful for is a wonderful thing. It makes us smile, it brings out positive vibes, makes us feel lighter, happier, and it ...
When is enough, enough?
There's so much in our lives that have become over-indulgences. From food (the average size of pants has gone up two sizes), to obsessive workout trends, fast fashion (luckily eco-friendly is becoming more the norm as well), all the digital screens we possess and the time we spend with them. the necessity of our phones, ...
