Finding my reason to write
Hi stranger, I'm getting out of my comfort zone. Would you like to take a ride with me? Don't worry, I'll be the one to feel everything, you'll just be my emotional support. I believe that if you found me, there was a reason for it. Let's just have a nice chat and I'll tell you about who I am and find, along the way, the answers to those questions myself.

Self-Help EMDR Makes Healing From Trauma Easier
I entered the training for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with extreme skepticism, thinking it was the gimmickiest therapy technique ever proposed on a gullible public. Waving fingers in front of a client’s eyes as they strained to follow the back-and-forth movements and suggesting this was going to create almost immediate change seemed more in the realm of magical thinking.

Stressed? Here are a few things to improve your quality of life.
Life is filled with trial, error, failure, stressors, ups and downs. That’s normal, and most of us have ways in which we cope with these day to day stressors. There are, however, still a lot of stressors in our lives that we choose to allow or accept, some of which are out of our hands, while others could absolutely be eliminated. A lot of minor things add up, leading to overall stress and anxiety, which is sometimes very hard to pinpoint. The reason why it is hard to pinpoint is because it’s more than just one thing.

Why Crying it Out is the Best Medicine.
About halfway through my twenty-minute silent sit on the park bench this morning, I registered the voices of a man and a child. Since my eyes were closed and I was “supposed” to be meditating, I assumed they were playing in the playground. Suddenly, instead of happy squeals, the child broke into a loud cry, a full, unbridled, using-all-her-lung-power sort of cry.

First of All, It's Not 'Imposter Syndrome'
I have read countless articles downplaying the urgency of the prevalence of what’s dubbed as “imposter syndrome”. Many have been insisting it’s just an excuse for being unproductive, or for not reaching your goals and satisfaction.

I Am an "Easy Target" For The "Beasts"!
I am a writer, therefore I am a highly sensitive person. I can absorb the emotions of others whether I want it or not. I am very well attuned to other people’s moods, both the good and the bad. Before I learned to protect myself from the bad energies, I could get sick from being exposed to other people’s negative vibes.

The Emergence of the "Burning Party" Revealed
Have you ever had a pity party or a friend that has? All the tears and isolation and all of the loathing and drama can be enough to avoid them in the first place. Having a burning party can be a replacement, or substitute for the other ones, and it has some pretty amazing benefits too that you cannot get from sitting on the pity pot.
