The Only God You Should Be Praising Is Your Own Mind
Was Buddha the first mental health professional in history? Arguably! If I say the words Zen philosophy, images of monks in monasteries will surely come to mind. Perhaps you imagine people with shaved heads who made vows of silence. Well... I would imagine it too so I don't judge you for a single second.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO SOLVE A PROBLEM USING YOUR INTUITION
I came across Christie Marie Sheldon through MindValley, which is a company that I discovered a couple of years ago that focuses on personal growth and offers courses, masterclasses and books from the best authors in personal development in the world. Christie Marie Sheldon is an intuitive healer and energetic coach which is not something that you would come across on a daily basis and it is one of those persons that can read your aura. If you have ever read about chakras and your chi energy or your aura then, that’s what she does. She can see it. She knows everything about you in an instant. I have experienced this with one of our Romanians energetic coaches and finding more information and insights from around the world, makes the initial learning far more precious and demonstrates once again, that we are more than this physical body. We are energy.

Maxim Creep
Balance The topic of balance came up recently in a conversation with a friend. She was relaying the results of one of those personality tests that claim they can classify your personality “type” based on certain behaviors, characteristics, and/or tendencies. There are hundreds but the vast majority are based on the Meyers-Briggs classification system which is itself an out-shoot of Karl Jung’s personality type theory. The point of this post is not to debate the merits of Jung’s theory, like many theories in the social sciences, it has its proponents and detractors. Instead I will accept it as generally accurate and ask what that implies from a self improvement perspective.

Opinions are like Onions
People! Stop worrying about the opinions of others. People only have opinions to steer focus off themselves. Opinions are like onions, they are just there to make you cry. People don't worry about their self image unless they are steered in that direction by someone who is more insecure than yourself. "Friends" don't surround themselves with people who make them feel insufficient. The misconception of attractive girls wanting to be around not so attractive girls to look better is something that I'm sure some girls use but on the flip side it is used by the "not so attractive" female to pick up the crumbs from the flocks of guys who come around for the attractive ones.

The Bird Cage
The foundation was never built on being successful together. From the beginning the plan was to separate us, uproot our families and force us to bond with chaos herself. The plan worked perfectly. Look at us… fighting among our selves like rabid dogs. Everyone only wants best for them. Their sons and daughters, their check, their relationship. Life is a journey, but the paths we take have long been manipulated by our own species, turned into something heinous and foul. We’ve never seen eye to eye with each other; starting war after war killing our sons and daughters for the sake of land, money, and overall power of the world. As humans this is our common denominator and has been for millennium. Why is that? Is it because history repeats itself so were destined to continuously duplicate our timeline? Are we just evil beings with nothing better to do than procreate and eliminate? Great questions, but none of the answers matter. Why they ask? Isn’t that how we would begin to solve problems? No, the way to solve problems is not to answer large on topic questions about a broad subject. Solving problems is to force change and for something to change something, or someone must take action.

Psychology: People who know how to present themselves are more likely to be favored by love
Love needs to be expressed. You don’t tell the other person your love, even if the other person has a good impression on you, he will not know what you really think.

"Help!"... And Breathe
"Help! I need somebody, Help! not just any body, Help! you know I need someone... Heeeelllllpppp!" Famously sung by The Beatles, this iconic lyrical has undoubtedly spun around the turntable time and time again as the backdrop for many a meltdown. You can thank me later when this earworm is wriggling around your head... it's been in mine for the last hour!

Sidonglobophobia and Misophonia
There's a certain type of snow that is flakey, wet snow in the above freezing air, and compacts under the feet when walked upon, giving off a squeaky 'ginchy' sound as it compresses under the walker's weight. In Sweden, they call this 'knarra', which translates into 'creak' I call it ginchy and have used that word for as long as I can remember.
