Gaslighting 101
Gaslighting is a term found almost everywhere. Surely if you have a cell phone, computer, and access to the internet you have come across the world more times than you can count. Unfortunately, this familiarity does not automatically translate to understanding. In fact, many of us are too afraid to ask, or even seek further clarification when it comes to subjects, we don’t fully understand. We will fake it until we make it and hopefully pick things up quickly as we make our way through. So, if you find yourself in this group keep on reading. Where gaslighting will not only be broken down and explained, but you will walk away with an understanding as to why it is so damaging to not just your relationships, but your mental health as well.

Remember to Recharge
For many, the Covid lockdowns signaled an improvement in their lives, with working from home meaning less time commuting, more time with family, and more control over their working environments. For others, however, the time proved stressful and many reported feeling tired or burnt out. And burnout can have serious consequences – over three quarters of people report feeling burnout at some point and those who do are more likely to take sick days or go to hospital.

Justification Cannot Always Be Justified
If there is one thing we humans are incredibly good at, it is justifying our actions. Sometimes, this is necessary, because we know we are doing the right thing even when everyone around us judges us. However, we are also good at justifying ourselves when we do something we shouldn’t. This could be something minor, like eating another piece of cake, to something potentially life threatening, like substance abuse.

What is the Purpose of My Life?
I am in awe of people who have a strongly purpose-filled approach to life. They are so much better at dealing with setbacks because they can see that minor challenges can never endanger the bigger picture. They also seem to have less clutter in their lives, because they don’t allow things that don’t contribute to their purpose to fill up their day.

How to be Better at Networking
One thing that seems to distinguish successful people is how extensive their networks are. Whenever you ask them how they would do something, their answer seems to be, “I know a guy.” Clearly, having such a large network is a major advantage.

Creating Your Own Life Plan
Sometimes, when I discuss career opportunities with my friends, I mention that I only chase those that fit into my life plan. Friends are often surprised to hear that I have a life plan, because this is not something that everyone does. However, I find that having a life plan not only gives me great focus, it also makes doing little tasks less mundane when you know how they fit into the bigger picture.

The Way We Think: Common Idioms We Use
We have powerful thoughts. Sometimes, when we get mad, we start thinking about phrases that we have heard before and we may yell them out, post them on social media, however we need to express those thoughts. But most of the time, the thoughts we have are usually sayings that we have heard and have stored in our memories. Self-expression is important. There are many proverbs and idioms as they are called but I’ll name the important ones.

The Art of Relaxation
Many of us constantly feel like we are falling behind and our to do list is never ending. One of the most important factors we often forget is that in order to be productive, we must learn - and know well - how to relax. Relaxation is also a form of art, i.e., one has to learn how to relax and learn of the infinite creative ways to make ourselves feel good. Relaxation is an important process of rejuvenation and restoration after a long week of hard and taxing work.

How to Stop Avoiding Problems & Confront Them
We all know that ignoring our problems doesn’t make them go away, but unfortunately, this is standard human behavior. Psychologists call this tendency "avoidance behavior," where we try to push away problems in the back of our mind and not think of them. But this often has the opposite effect and only makes us more anxious knowing that we have not dealt with the issue.
