Rewire your brain
Have you ever tried meditating and thought, "Is this actually doing anything?" Maybe you've heard that meditation helps with stress, focus, or emotional balance, but it just felt like sitting in silence, waiting for something to happen.

Addiction : a brain disease not a moral failing
Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking, or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you. Previous to understanding the science, it was thought that addiction resulted from a lack of willpower and was a moral failing. But we now know that addiction is a physiological disease. It changes the brain's structure in ways that can alter the way it works and processes information.

Riding the Middle Wave
Ever notice how people love to pick sides? It’s like we’re constantly asked to choose between two waves: you're either riding left or right, red or blue, good or bad. But here's the thing—life doesn’t work in black and white. It's mostly paddling through gray. And that’s where the trouble starts when we fall into a sneaky little brain trap called dichotomous thinking.

Keeping the Mind Young: Science-Backed Ways to Slow Brain Ageing
As we age, we often expect wrinkles, weaker bones, or slower movement — but what truly worries most people is the ageing of the mind. Forgetting names, losing focus, or feeling mentally fatigued can be frightening signs that our brain is changing. Yet, science is uncovering hopeful news: the brain is not a machine doomed to wear out. It’s a living, adaptable organ capable of renewal, repair, and growth at any age — if we give it the right conditions.

Stop the cycle of senseless overthinking
We all do it. We get caught up in the current of little worries, the petty anxieties, the constant loop of things that, if we're honest with ourselves, simply don't deserve the precious minutes we grant them. We allow the trivial, the insignificant slights and the fleeting judgments, to take up prime real estate in our minds. And what is the cost of this habit? It's a fundamental loss of joy and a shocking squandering of our most limited resource: time. It’s time we shift our perspective, isn’t it? It’s time we truly learn how to live the good life we deserve, not just dream about it.

How to Forgive Yourself for the Things You Cannot Undo
There are mistakes that live in our minds long after they happened. Maybe it was a word spoken in anger, a relationship we destroyed, or a choice that pulled our lives in a direction we never imagined. Regret can replay in our heads like a song we cannot switch off, and shame becomes a heavy chain around the heart. Yet no matter how permanent the past may seem, forgiveness has the power to loosen its grip. Learning to forgive yourself does not erase what was done, but it allows healing to take root where pain once lived.

Quitting Smoking
How We Start Smoking There are many reasons people start smoking. The top three reasons I hear are: "I started because my parents smoked and cigarettes were easily accessible.", "I thought it would make me look grown up.", and "The people I hung around with smoked and I thought they were cool, (or wanted to fit in) so I wanted to do it too."I fell into the latter two of those three.

Do You Love Yourself?
Stop having to be right, correcting others, giving advice without being asked, complaining, or telling people what they "should" be doing. Take a breath, look in the mirror, and say, I love you. Say that every day until it becomes a natural part of your repertoire to respect your boundaries, your body, and your mental health. Allow others the dignity to respect theirs.
