coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
You Are Better Than You Think
Whether you are patient or not, and irrespective as to how well you handle criticism from others, whether constructive or otherwise; in the line of acceptance or defensiveness when it comes to the latter; deep down, many of us are our own harsh critics. Looking in the mirror is a simple cure to no longer being hard on yourself, yet it (the harmless mirror) is so confronting for many people.

Many people want to smash that harmless mirror, or throw it away. They do not like what they see.

Do you know your Breaking Point?
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Second opinion" in regards to medical advice? It occurred often when a professional medical advisor stated something unbelievable or unwanted. That may seem odd to you, but what is even more surprising, is that many have sought a "second opinion" in such matters, and found what they were looking for. Your BMI alerts one trained professional to tell you that you are obese, while only 20 pounds overweight. Yet another doctor who had previously been a Sumu wrestler says you are perfectly healthy. Sometimes a second opinion is the way to go.

When the Chaos Stops: What Healing Really Feels Like
This is what healing feels like once the chaos stops. It’s not fireworks or victory parades. It’s the quiet after a battle — a silence that hums in your bones, leaving you unsure whether to rest or run. After leaving an abuser, you begin to understand how much energy survival really took.

The Waiting Room The waiting room smells like wet paper and lemon sanitizer. I’ve been here before, though the walls are a different color now — pale green instead of beige — as if someone decided recovery needed freshness. It doesn’t help. Everything in here feels used, like it’s been waiting longer than any of us.
