When AI Becomes a Habit: How Artificial Intelligence Is Quietly Reshaping Our Minds
I don’t know about you, but lately it feels like I’m constantly talking to something that isn’t… well, human. Siri’s reminding me of meetings. Spotify’s building me playlists like it knows me better than I know myself. ChatGPT is helping me write stuff faster than my brain can keep up with. And I’ll be honest—it’s helpful. Almost too helpful.

Letting Go of Perfect
For most of my life, I chased a dream that wasn’t truly mine. The perfect life. The glossy, Instagram-filtered, success-story version of living that society subtly (and sometimes loudly) told me I needed to have.

You Don’t Have to Be Healing All the Time
We live in a world that often equates productivity with worth. In recent years, this mindset has seeped into the world of self-help and healing, too. We’re told to “do the work,” to “break the cycle,” to “heal our inner child”—and while these intentions come from a good place, they sometimes carry the unspoken pressure to always be improving.

“Always Online, Always Alone”: The Mental Health Toll of Digital Overload
I’ll be honest—there are days when I pick up my phone before I’ve even opened both eyes. A flood of notifications. Messages. Emails. A quick scroll through Instagram or TikTok. Something funny. Something infuriating. Something triggering. Something that makes me feel like I’m already behind… and it’s not even 8 a.m.

Decisions- consequences and responsibility .
Decisions- consequences and responsibility . I am 83 years old, in that time I have cause pain and distress to others, but it has never been deliberate. By carelessness, by lack of awareness, by selfishness and by ignorance I have caused mental and emotional pain to others, and I regret that but consider quite often I have not been in control of events- maybe I should have been and so add, by weakness, to my list. I do regret causing emotional stress and worry to others. I realised (way too late) that I have often acted in a way that seemed the best available option at the time, but I had not fully appreciated (or bothered to find??) what effect my actions and decisions had on others not directly involved.

The Quiet Things That Make Us Whole
We live in a time where everything is meant to be seen—posted, liked, and validated. Silence is often mistaken for emptiness, and rest is confused with laziness. But there is a quiet revolution happening within those who are choosing to live intentionally, even if it means going unnoticed.

Disconnected to Reconnect
It started with a cracked screen. One accidental drop onto the sidewalk, and my lifeline to the world—my phone—shattered. At first, it was just a spiderweb across the glass. I told myself I’d get it fixed that weekend. But by the next morning, the screen had gone black. No more scrolling, no more notifications, no more excuses.

Any type of cannabis use is directly associated with a high risk of heart disease.
It has long been argued that marijuana is a safer option than regular cigarettes. It is considered by some to be a safe stress reliever that poses fewer risks than tobacco products. That premise is called into question by evidence from a recent study. Senior author Matthew L. Springer, PhD, and first author Leila Mohammadi, MD, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco, spearheaded the study.

15 Mental Habits That Silently Ruin Your Life (and How to Replace Them)
1. Chronic Inner Criticism Masquerading as Self-Improvement What it looks like: You're that person who replays every awkward word, every tiny slip-up like a broken record in your head. You don't just acknowledge mistakes - you live in them. "Why did I say that?" "Why can't I do this right?" Your internal voice sounds like a ruthless coach who's lost all empathy, drilling you endlessly without a break. You beat yourself up over things no one else notices, as if punishment will turn you into a flawless being overnight.

The Hidden Cost of “Always Being the Strong One”
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but being "the strong one" all the time is exhausting. You know the role. You're the one who shows up. The one who listens. The one who holds space for everyone else’s pain—offering advice, cracking jokes to ease tension, checking in before you’re checked on.

Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker: A Life-Changing Journey Into the Science of Slumber
I'll be honest with you – I used to be one of those people who wore sleep deprivation like a badge of honor. You know the type: "I'll sleep when I'm dead," or "Sleep is for the weak." If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be writing a passionate review about a book on sleep science, I probably would have laughed and reached for another cup of coffee. But here I am, and let me tell you, this masterpiece completely revolutionized my relationship with sleep.
