Confidence and Anxiety are Polar Opposites, and Why It’s Important to Balance the Two
Quick Fact -Just like light and day, confidence and anxiety are total opposites on the emotional scale! Intro I’m making a bold claim by saying that confidence and anxiety are polar opposites, just like black and white, masculine and feminine, light and dark. However, we'll look at the definition of these two words and we’ll see what I mean!

The 6 Types of Basic Emotions
There are many types of emotions that influence how we live and interact with others. At times, it may seem like these emotions rule us. The choices we make, the actions we take, and the perceptions we have are all influenced by our emotions at any given moment.

Element of Hope
As the old saying goes: There is a calm before the storm. Most do not understand at that exact moment of calm, the next step you take determines a chain reaction. Too much and you are drowning, too little and you are deprived of an element that you need to survive, yet finding balance requires so much more than you could ever imagine.

A Parable of Hope
The child had heard much about a new friend that she would meet someday soon. There was no way to know when this friend would arrive, only that the child could expect it sometime soon. Though she had not yet met this new friend, the child had old friends, and they kept her company.

Raw
Dawn seemed to be blinded by all the love and support that she thought she needed, she failed to see what she had right in front of her. Inwardly, she longed for the support that birthed a sense of self. The sense of knowing that she could do anything and be anyone. This desire blinded her to the nurturing she had presently. She idolized the love and support she thought everyone else had. So much so that she missed out on the fact that she already possessed it. Funny, how when life throws a curveball, suddenly the eye sees what was there all along.

Why are Cancers labelled criers?
“Cancer, when was the last time you cried? Did you cry today?” A TikTok user mocks. I love watching Zodiac related Tiktoks. I find it amazing that astrology and spirituality have taken over the platform and are bringing people together when I myself have felt alone in regards to the topic.

Half, and Half
Many a pop-starlet was born under the sign of Sagittarius, and though this vocation could not be farther from my life path to date, it is one of the main reasons I have always identified with my sun sign. To be a Sagittarius is to be a performer, whether on the stage of your bedroom floor, or in London’s O2 stadium. Sagittarius has a voice; our challenge is to learn how to use it.

Feeling Better through Bibliotherapy
When you’re in a difficult phase of your life, it can be overwhelming to think of where to begin to dig yourself out again. Sometimes you can feel so low that all the usual advice – exercise, sleep, see friends, set goals – can seem very overwhelming. Reading can feel like a chore for those that don’t enjoy it. But, if you’re someone who loves to be sucked into a good book, bibliotherapy can be a perfect way to move through grief, stress, or a hard time in your life.

Balancing Self-Love with the Desire for Self-Improvement in 2021
New Year, New Lockdown The beginning of a new year brings with it the promise of a fresh start. A chance to reflect on our shortcomings, diagnose any weaknesses in our character, and set up new goals and habits for the year ahead. Of course there is no real reason why January is a better moment to try and do this than any other time of the year. But the turning over of a new calendar seems to bring with it the expectation that things can and will change.

Are You The Master or The Student?
A lot of times when we are leveling up our being, when we are striving for something more, gaining a new skill set, trying something new, we often look outside of ourselves for the thing that is going to teach us. In the last year I have lived in California, and got to a point at the top of this year where I wanted to start to make money off of the things I do naturally. So I started brainstorming the things that I do naturally; yoga every single day, social media every single day, and I was pondering ways to make online income from those things, which brought me full circle to feeling like all of the skill sets thatI have capped out at my knowledge of them or use of them in an independent way.

Isolation
The sun blared through the open blinds as the maddening tapping from melting snow obliterated the young student’s train of thought every minute or so. The beautiful day taunted her as she sat in the poorly lit cave of a bedroom. As an insufferably happy couple passed the window, their unsettlingly bright smiles and annoyingly excited voices nearly pushed her to give up on trying to work all together. Just one more page of notes and she would take a break. She attempted to force herself to pay attention to teh meaning of each word.
