Social Media
Ahhhh good ole social media….so amazing when it started. It was a great way to find past friends, reconnect with them, and keep in touch. However, the dark side of social media soon became apparent. The impact of social media, especially in younger people, is a very serious consequence facing modern society. Social media is […]
Emotional Eating
A lot of our emotions can be reflected in our eating habits. Personally, I’ve had a ‘nervous stomach’ as far as I can remember. Whenever I am upset, nervous, or anxious, eating becomes impossible. However, when I am stressed out or angry, eating becomes a non-stop activity. This is the difference between dealing with our […]
Taking Risks and Control
Originally these topics were going to be in different blogs, but after careful consideration, I decided to incorporate them into one, as both these topics usually stem from the same issues. As humans we are innately programmed to protect ourselves on all levels, emotionally, physically, mentally, intellectually, and even spiritually. As we accumulate various experiences, […]
Toxic Relationships
At some point almost everyone will find themselves in some form of a toxic relationship. This could be any type of relationship, friend, family, romantic, co-worker, and all in between. The most important thing is to recognize the traits of a toxic dynamic (they all share certain key features), and know how to protect your […]
NEGATIVE SELF-TALK
How you speak to yourself matters. It matters more than how anyone else speaks to you. The longest relationship we have is with ourselves, so it is crucial that we make it the best. What we think of ourselves sets the stage for everything. How we treat ourselves will determine how others treat us. We […]
Divorce-Letting Go of the Hurt
At some juncture, we will all experience heartbreak. This hurt can occur in the dynamics of any type of relationship we have, but this blog will focus on one of the biggest emotional traumas, divorce. No one enters a marriage expecting it to end in hurt, disappointment, betrayal, or all the other reasons it ends. […]
MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY
Prioritizing yourself is not selfish, it is a necessity. If we don’t look after ourselves, it’s impossible to effectively look after others. Initially it will work, but will result in burnout and resentment. But what does making yourself a priority look like? To start, it means knowing who and what brings you happiness, and seeking […]
NARCISSISM
At some point, almost all of us will deal with a narcissist in some capacity, and on some level. This person can be almost anyone in your life, and will inevitably leave you feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. The thing I would like everyone to be aware of is, you cannot win with a […]
SELF-CARE
When we hear the term ‘self-care’, we automatically think of things like bubble baths, spa days, and massages! While all of these can be a part of ‘self-care’, true ‘self-care” focuses on the inner parts of yourself, the parts that are responsible for your emotional and mental well-being. Humans tend to forget that we are […]
Within Us…
As humans we somehow developed this idea that whatever we need is to be found outside of ourselves. Nothing could be further from the truth. Anything and everything we need can be found within us. We ALL have the ability to give ourselves exactly what we need when we need it. Self love is neither […]
