Focusing on What Builds Me Up: A Profound Mental Health Lesson
Over the past year, I’ve come to realize just how much my mental health journey depends on identifying what nourishes me versus what drains me. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of focusing on the people and activities that build me up rather than those that tear me down. On the surface, it sounds simple, but the complexity lies in recognizing those influences, setting boundaries, and fully embracing what helps me grow.

How I Protect My Mental Health During the Holidays with a Toxic Family
The holidays are often portrayed as a season of joy and connection, but for many people, they bring something else entirely: stress, tension, and emotional labour.

Roach Invasions are a Source of Stress
Some Buddhists have told me some stories about Buddha, saying that in his life he had experienced both wealth and poverty. I can relate very much to that life journey. In my life, I have resided at brand, new, top-of-the-line, luxury-style homes, and also called "home" some of the most disgusting, low-life places that some people would never want to imagine, let alone dwell in. I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. I chalked it up to some kind of survival lesson or spiritual lesson regarding the human journey and my personal growth in perspective and resilience.

Understanding the Thinking Process
Are you aware that you live in a hypnotic world? When you think, you are hypnotizing yourself. The words you use hypnotize you. Negative words will hypnotize you negatively, and positive words will hypnotize you positively. Do you know your ego must use words to present itself in the conscious mind? It is a product of self-hypnosis. It is the reason why people feel that they cannot stop thinking. They feel that they might disappear from the mind if they stop thinking.
