Regretting Regretting. Top Story - April 2021.
My biggest regret is spending so much time regretting. Oh sure I can list oh so many cringeworthy moments. Mishaps with bodily functions. Bra straps showing. Green food in teeth. Colossal errors in people’s names, especially when in front of fifty people I’ve mixed up Mr. Chiang with Mr. Lee, or Ms. Gomez with Ms. Fuentes. All the times I didn’t listen – I thought he was joking when he said the price tag was showing on my hat that I went on to wear for months. All the times I was unintentionally cruel. Or cruel out of my own indecisiveness. All the times I was careless or lazy – why did I wreck that guy’s performance by not learning the words and harmony to the song we were singing together? All the times I laughed too loud and kept repeating the same lame remark. Or did I? Was I just carefree and fun? Oh, the rumination.

Perfectly Content
There it is. There on the horizon, so close yet so far, lies the ship on the still waters. Its sail a striking white against the clear blue of the sky, its hull of lustrous wood at peace on the contrasting deep blue of the ocean. A perfect vessel aligned in the differing shades of blue, a visible boundary of Sea and Sky, a marker, a monument that bridges the gap between two great forces where never the twain shall meet.

Feeling embarrassed
Imagine standing in your kitchen hiding behind a wall. Why? Well to avoid your delivery driver who is dropping off your groceries. You know they can’t see you through the window in your living room, but yet you still stay hidden in your kitchen. An extra wall for protection. You don’t understand why you don’t want to see them or why it makes you feel so anxious.

20 Tips For Dealing With Anxiety
20 Tips For Dealing With Anxiety Uneasiness is a characteristic response to a portion of life's most difficult circumstances. In little, intermittent dosages, it very well may be something to be thankful for—rousing you to comply with a time constraint, breeze through an assessment, or convey an all-around created show. As a component of what's known as the battle-or-flight reaction, tension triggers the physiological changes that permit you to manage stressors enormous and little. Your pulse accelerates, you inhale quicker, and your muscles tense, so you can make a move on the off chance that you need to.

The Dark Side of The Moon
On April 4th, my chest ached. I wasn't physically hurt, nothing had impacted my breastbone or anything . . . but sometimes I got like this. A restless irritation buzzing in my limbs, a tight chest that felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on it, and this urge like I was going to cry (and a serious fear that I wouldn't be able to stop). I was not comfortable standing and pacing, nor was it any better to curl up into as tight a ball as possible. My existence was discomfort and my focus was unrelentingly focused on that.

How Playing Like A Kid Helped Me Manage My Anxiety
I had never really heard of or thought about the idea that playing with kid's games could help reduce anxiety. I was always under the impression that you just needed to think differently about your problems, and everything would be OK.

Duality and Anxiety: The Infinity in Anxiety
I was speaking to someone recently about our shared experience with anxiety and depression. It was a lengthy conversation where neither one of us held back how we were truly feeling. We didn't let the anxiety stop us from saying things our souls needed to have said.

The Best Trick to Naturally Ease Your Anxiety
Do you often feel stuck in the monotony of day-to-day living? Do you feel like something is missing in terms of vibrancy, zest, or aliveness in your life? If so, it is because you are simply failing to recognize the ease and wellbeing which naturally dominate the flow of your life. The perfect tilt of this planet, the incredible power of the sun, the bountiful creation of Earthly harvest; we live in a miracle of cosmic perfection. In fact, so much must go perfectly right each and every day to even afford you the luxury of time and space to feel negative. This grand life may exist beyond our comprehension in some ways, but that doesn’t mean you must resist its blessings while you search for answers. Allowing yourself to enjoy the exhilarating ride is the point, and the only person that ever resists the powerful rapids of wellbeing in favor of exhaustion or heartbreak is you.
