The importance of self-care is paramount; enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain control under pressure.
I don’t have a mental issue
Myth about Mental Health: The moment we hear the word “Mental” we see an image of screeching wheelchairs on squeaky clean floors, nurses and ward-boys in white clothes pushing the wheelchairs and some administering medicine. And flashes of someone having a breakdown, being restrained by strong men.

Changing How you Live your Life can Make you Happier
Anxiety and depression are huge problems for people today. Doctors are quick to prescribe medications to solve these problems but there're other ways to treat these illnesses. Making changes to your life style can help reduce the amount of anxiety or depression you feel on a daily basis.

Shattered
Today I bought a stack of tablets, ones I can make messy. I am completely obsessive with tablets that have carefully constructed tidy little categories, thought flows and charts. These I am going to make very messy, like this jumbled world inside me at the moment.

Life Coaching
For many years I felt a nudge, a prompt to get into life coaching. It was something my soul wanted to do but my ego...not so much. I have lived one interesting and unusual life. I knew I had tons of experience to share. The lessons learned have been invaluable but I was never sure of how I could bring my insights out on to the world stage in an effective manner. I definitely have a talent for public speaking but if I'm honest sometimes the energy I feel before an engagement feels wobbly. Like a newborn giraffe. All too often I felt that the energy it took to push through and pull off the event simply wasn't worth the reward. As someone with a background of panic disorder and generalized anxiety I think it's important that I share my story for other coaches and speakers who may struggle with their mental health. One of the things that make the life coaching arena so hard to navigate is that one of our greatest tools to employ and shift our personal trajectory as well as that of our clients is the vibration we maintain. Life coaching requires a level of emotional dexterity if you're going to be successful and lead people into their best lives.

These Boots Were Made for Learning
I bought the boots. Yes, THOSE boots. The ones I saw on all of the impossibly thin, impossibly elegant women I passed on my way to work every day. THE fall boots of the Upper East Side. The boots of the woman I imagined I wanted to be. Glossy, yet understated. Subtle. Nothing like the supposedly “rich” ladies out in the suburbs, covered in logos and purchased at thirty percent off at an outlet store. No, these boots were refined, the kind of boots you wore on an autumn excursion to the family lake house.

A Small Victory
I still wonder how anyone gets through their adolescence. I had heard statistics as a young man about the suicide rate among us, and also knew about all the dangers out there that would eventually claim many in my circle of friendships and family (death, jail, drugs, disappearance, etc.)

Night Walker
I’d say it started in my preteens. I know how it came to be; in order to try to watch early morning cartoon and anime episodes, I would set an alarm. In the beginning, I’d set it half an hour to an hour out from the episode. This was to allow myself a few minutes each to coax myself from beneath the warm covers, use the restroom, sneak downstairs, and get settled.

Healthy Coping Mechanisms
NOTE: Not all skills help everyone, but they are all worth trying. 1. Therapy Although this may seem obvious, I know of many people who don't believe that it is useful at all, not even just for themselves. It helps to get the emotions out for many people.
