self care

For a healthy mind, body, and soul.

The Scientist's Dilemma
Spilling my coffee on a first date, dramatically slipping on ice after stepping off a city bus, and unwittingly yelling at my boyfriend to “MAKE ME SOME SOUP!” whilst he was unmuted on a Zoom work meeting - these and many more embarrassing things, I have done. And each were mortifying in their own way. And yet the story I’d like to tell isn’t about any of those incidents. My most embarrassing story isn’t a singular moment, a dramatic gaffe, or a snafu witnessed by many spectators. Rather, it’s a secret I’ve been holding on to, and I’m embarrassed about it even in my own mind. But I’m about to tell you. Are you ready to hear it?

4 Simple Habits
In the month of Dec 2020, I decided to start running (again) daily. Back then I weighed around 95 Kg and I was determined to get back in shape and start feeling leaner and more active. Fast forward to today, daily running coupled with a intermittent fasting diet help me shed around 7 Kg (and counting). The decision to stick to these two habits consistently has helped me reap many benefits starting from feeling better to higher stamina throughout the day.

How to Have a Great Do-Nothing Day (and Not Feel Guilty About It)
I’m insanely jealous of my cat. She lounges around this place like it’s her job, and she’s clearly loving every minute of it. No deadlines, no work, no chores, just hours of flopping out like a bearskin rug in a beam of sunlight.

The Mindfulness Exercise that Changed Everything for Me. Top Story - April 2021.
I strongly remember one instance where I was doing absolutely nothing. I was in Pacific Grove, California - having just rolled into town the day before. My partner Steven and I were living out of our Dodge van with our two dogs at the time - and it had been a particularly shitty day.

3 Journal Prompts for Self-Compassion Newbies
We’ve all heard that we should practice self-compassion. We spend every waking moment with a voice-over that follows us while we complete each day’s tasks. It’s easy to forget that our internal monologue isn’t neutral. It’s biased, and sometimes it can be negative and wreak havoc on your mood.

The Self-Care Prescription
Self-care is all the rage. It’s trending like most angry passions do, except the goal with this one is inner peace. So advertisements bombard you with lotions and soaps, in the hopes that the many product options won’t overwhelm you, but instead, soothe you with their soft, pastel color palettes.

A trip to the Spa
Your Calm Mind is the Ultimate Weapon against your challenges Bryant McGill Physical health is important, but mental health is the #1 priority to our happiness. That is why it is important that we find ourselves achieving a goal that leads our everyday life into a state of serenity. As I am writing this, I find myself listening to my favorite music that calms me down and takes me to my peaceful place: The Spa. Listening to Spa music is the closest thing for me finding zen and feeding my soul with much needed relaxation. As I write this, my goal is to take you on a journey of bliss so sit back and come with me on the journey of zen. I will explain and hopefully influence you as to why Spa music not only is for you, but for anyone who wants to feel as if they are at the Spa and achieve Ataraxia, or a sense of calm.

Creating Changes With Positive Thinking
There's no quick solution to developing positive thinking, it's something you have to work with and implement over a period of time. That means that any changes you want to make will also take some time. There is no quick fix and just because you start applying positive thinking today doesn't mean that your life will change tomorrow.
