Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Homesickness
It all started in the eighth grade. All she wanted back then was to move far, far away. Don't get it twisted, it wasn't like she was unhappy, in fact, she was very content with her life at that time. But she always had this underlying desire to live a different life. Just to see what it'd be like. It was when she confessed these yearnings to her father did her fantasies become reality.

Take Back Your Power With Self-Care
Anxiety has been a big part of my life since I was 18 years old. Back when there was hardly any awareness about it at all. Even those close to me weren’t interested and I didn’t know how to control it. Both the world and I thought I was crazy, so I struggled alone as very few people understood.

Self-Love Boost
How do you begin an article? How do you go from sitting in silence, waiting for inspiration or an idea to come and then just vomit out something people deem worth reading? Or better yet, how do you dive in feet first to writing a book? These are questions I've been asking myself for over an hour now. That and wondering how on Earth I ever came to the conclusion that I want to be an author.

Definitions
I've always had a strong sense of self. I daresay that I had a level of self-awareness as a five-year old that most people don't develop until they are in their 50s. Some would call being an "old soul" or wise beyond your years. It is generally considered to be a good thing. And from an outsiders point of view, I can recognize how that could appear to be the case. But, of course, the reality is far more complex.

Self Love and Praise
Do you ever achieve something and never tell yourself you’re proud of yourself? A simple example: you studied really hard for an exam, put in the effort, and passed. You get your mates telling you congrats, and they pat you on the back. But did you take the time to say to yourself, "you did it!"

The Houses of the Zodiac: House #6
Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

Life Is a Puzzle That's Never Solved
Life. A seemingly simple word, but the meaning is a bit more complex than one would imagine. The dictionary definition of life is "the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to the environment through changes originating internally." However, this is not the only way to define life. Ask yourself this question; ask yourself what you believe life really means and what it is. What is life really? The answer to that, to me at least, is almost as elusive as the definition of the word "normal." It is my personal opinion that life is defined, not by the actual definition, but by each and every person living on this Earth. Life is defined by their actions and personalities, for each person's life is different. Life has a different meaning for each person, culture, and country.

Headspace: The Only Meditation App You’ll Ever Need
I’ve been a longtime sufferer of anxiety, depression, and OCD. I’ve been in treatment for these mental illnesses for about seven years at this point, and I’ve tried everything. One on one therapy, group therapy, coloring books, meditation, talking to adults and mentors I trust, exercising, meeting people who’ve been in the same situation, etc. The list goes on, of course.

Who on Earth Are We? (Pt. 2)
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.” (Niels Bohr) The world in which you think you live, the dependable, real world, is nothing more than an illusion. So is time, as we shall see later. Your senses deceive you moment to moment, tricking you into believing that the world around you is real—solid. The truth, as we shall explore now, is much stranger.
