The Tediousness of Adulthood
Imagine this: It's Saturday night. A teenage girl has money to blow, friends to hang out with, and a night without her parents. What does she do? In some circles, she might throw a party. In others, she might subtly point out to her significant other that the house will be empty tonight. In a select few, she might simply be scrolling through Tumblr and listening to Pandora as she avoids her homework like the plague.

7 Reasons It Is Healthy to Put Yourself First
It can be difficult, between work, family and friends, to find time for yourself. You may feel like a bad friend if you don't have time to grab lunch, or you might think you're a bad employee if you don't give work all of your attention, but that's far from the truth. If you take time for yourself, you'll be there better for others in the moments you give them.

Living with Anxiety & Depression
Sunday morning I woke up, and I've barely slept a wink since. I roll around thinking "I really need to get some sleep" but I'm too aware of the need. My brain won't stop. I'm having dozens of hypothetical conversations in my head while worrying about things that don't matter that much and it feels like adrenaline is the only thing keeping me going. I stand up and feel the blood rushing through my arms, legs and head. It's like I feel every pulse and my heart wants to remind me that it's still working but the sensation brings me no comfort. My eyes are hanging out of my head but I can't relax my mind. Part of me says "find someone who sells weed, it'll shut you down and you can relax peacefully" but another part says "that isn't the answer, it'll probably make things worse".

How To Expose Your Stuck-Point and Get Unstuck
Having trouble finishing that inspired project you’re working on? You have a great idea. You sit down and start working on it. You are full of energy and motivation. And then this unsettled feeling creeps in and your motivation slips away. You become distracted. You can’t sit still. You check your email. You decide to wash the dishes. Your thoughts feel scattered and you figure it would be better to come back to your work when you feel refreshed.

Finding Joy
Trusting your own voice How often do you seek and find advice from others actually works for you in your life? How often had you carried out some hair brain idea that you had, and what were the results? There is an inner voice that we have learned how to dismiss. We have learned to silence that inner voice. We are here in this life to fully embrace our path, and I hardly believe that the distractions of life are part of the plan to help us live a life full of love, trust, and honor. I am writing this in hopes that you may see that you can embark on your spiritual path by listening to that inner voice.

Stigma Against Mental Illness
"That's nuts," seems to be one of the go-to insults when a person is pushed into a corner. Of course, what many people don't understand is that "nuts" or "crazy" were both terms given to those who were mentally ill. Mental illness seems to be an acceptable target of ire of this nature.
