Learning to D.A.N.C.E. with Your Demons
Life is a dance. Sometimes we choose the music and glide nimbly across the floor. Often, we are ill-prepared for the tune that turns on. We stumble over our own feet or find someone else stepping on them. We dance alone, choose a partner, and become part of a familial, professional, and/or social troupe. At times, we lead, we follow, dance with giddiness, or cannot wait to get off the floor.

“The trees are talking to me... am I crazy?”
Meditation can come in the form of many different things. For me, it is often from yoga, but for some people it may be jujitsu, chess, music, any time where you can be in a space where you can activate peace and revelations come to you; downloads from the universe come to you.

How We Try to Fill the Hole Inside: The Crazy Cycle
It’s astonishing how feeling-based, subjective, and cyclical many of our beliefs are. It’s not only us drug addicts, but food addicts, womanizers (sex addicts), bulimics, anorexics, alcoholics, nicotine addicts, social media addicts, game addicts, all of us, relentlessly seek the things that make us feel good. As we pursue them, we experience a sensation of momentary but fading satisfaction. If we want to feel that way again, we need more. Round and round we go, each time through the cycle our dependence increases. Outwardly, as we strive to find purpose and meaning we go through cycles. Inwardly our brain goes through similar cycles.

How To Avoid Stress
Stress is something that nobody can avoid forever. Stressful situations will always come up when you least expect them and they will literally destroy you mentally most of the time. If you're not equipped with the knowledge of how to deal with these stressful situations then you will most likely crumb under pressure and lose your temper.

Happiness Is Created, Not Found
In the 2006 film, “The Pursuit of Happyness” (yes, that’s how it’s spelled), Will Smith’s character is a poor, unhappy salesman. Through hard work and a bit of luck, he lands a high paying job as a stockbroker, is then able to afford everything he wants, and therefore becomes happy. It’s the same old premise: external stimuli make you happy. We’ve seen it in countless other stories, and it shapes most of our lives.

Why Focusing On The Present Can Help Alleviate Your Pandemic Depression
There is no doubt that the impact of Pandemic has affected more people mental health than the actual virus itself. I am one of such. I have been working from home since last year May, and the whole UK, is on total lockdown means social outing of any kind is restricted. I am not that much a social type of person, nevertheless, I do feel the fact of not being able to just go out whenever I like is curtailing.

Humans
Life is anything but normal these days. There have been many days over the last year that I question if I can even remember what normal life used to be like. In all honesty, I don't know why I find myself perplexed. My life, by most people's standards, has been anything but normal. I am one of the millions of people world wide who struggle with mental health issues. A lot of issues. Like.... a lot.
