The Power Of No: Why I’ve Started Saying No More Often
We’ve all been taught from a young age to help anyone who could use a hand. I took this ideology and ran with it. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always sought out opportunities to help anyone who needed any assistance. Over the years, the feeling of knowing that I helped someone was so heartwarming that it became a feeling I sought out again and again. I enjoyed doing my part to create a culture where people shared burdens and emphasized with people. So each time I did a favor for someone or went out of my way to help them, I didn’t care what it took; I was just happy to make a difference.

Why and How I Like To Keep My Mind Busy
A few years ago, I spent my pockets of time with mindless things like watching YouTube or TV. I numbed my mind, ignored its feigning curiosity, and never explored the depths of my mind. I watered down the ability of my mind with long stretches of inactivity, of low-level thiking, if any at all.

Why You Don’t Have to Wake Up Early to Be Successful
We’ve all seen those articles about what time insanely wealthy and successful people like Tim Cook or Steve Jobs wake up in the morning and why you should follow their lead. According to Influencer Digest, Jobs used to start his day around 6 am and “is operating at the highest efficiency levels by 6:15 am.” This might be considered sleeping in for Tim Cook, who, according to Business Insider, wakes up at 3:45.

Someone Else Will
When I first moved back home, I had to stay with my dad and his girlfriend until I could get my ducks in a row. Things were stressful to say the least. After weeks of building frustrations around the house, my dad and I finally got into our first fight in over ten years. Screaming at the top of our lungs at each other in the front yard. Me, wondering why even my father didn’t care about what I was going through or what I was feeling, and him wondering why I was upset that after 10 years, I couldn’t sit down and have a conversation with my dad without his gf throwing an absolute tantrum.

Empath Awareness
As a child growing up in the 80's with the ADD Revolution on the rise, parents were desperately trying to figure out why their children were "different". My mother had me evaluated, the doctor said that I had ADD or "ADHD", and I was instantly put on Ritalin. That was a decision that created a divide in the relationship between my mother and her sister. Her sister, my aunt, did not agree with the medication Ritalin. I'm not completely convinced that she even believed in the diagnosis. Today, I am not completely convinced ADHD is what was happening with me or most children in those days. The symptoms that were used to diagnose ADD/ADHD in children and adults in my opinion were the result of Empath tendencies.
