Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Human.
To be completely honest, I was giving up on writing. I didn’t feel like I wasn’t good enough. I was losing motivation. I have a notebook and inside of it are so many little writings I could not finish. My garbage was getting full with ideas I felt like was stupid. So I took a break.

I'm coming out.
I have a big secret to tell. The biggest of my life. I have a secret that is the root of my triggers, the root of my depression, the root of my shame. I have a secret that chokes me and eats me alive. At my lows, I am gasping for air, I am drowning in sadness and despair. Hoping the secret will just...go away.

Control Your Anger
There are many reasons why people get angry. You can just be laughing at one time and all of a sudden you just lost your temper. Anger is a helpful emotion that signals our brain that what just happened is not alright. It is a negative emotion but you can turn it around in a more positive way.

5 Simple Practices to have hold over Anger
Can you think of a time when you saw a toddler throwing tantrums in the middle of a mart, or a professor being intolerant than usual or a friend being rude for no reason at all. All of this does not necessarily but many times depict the signs that people are angry. Anger is a natural emotion that we all possess which is characterized by feelings of annoyance, displeasure and antagonism. Psychologists often define anger as a complex state of mind that may have variety of forms. As each and every individual is distinctive from each other, the way they react to things and show anger also differs.

Conquering Your own Darkness
In the lonely darkness I go in search for something familiar. A friend, a lover or a family member. Someone where I can release the stress I go through. Like a well I fall in wishing to find an escape. I see glimpse of light & think of ways out but at last I never moved. My darkness was always there.

Diving Deeply
I just turned 64. I don't feel 64. In my mind, I feel like I am 18. I was a wife and mother from the time I was 19 until just recently. Of course I was married 3 times, but I kind of just went from one confusing and dysfunctional marriage into another.

Jelly Juice
It had been months of just busy. Work was busy, home life was busy. I wasn't getting much sleep. I hadn't had the time to catch up with friends, or go for meals and drinks. I hadn't seen a movie at the cinema for as long as I could remember. I hadn't even attempted to shop, unless it was food shopping; and even that lately was done online.

The Writer's Block is in the Upstairs Bedroom!
Since I'm currently in the throes of having a writer's block, it may seem odd for me to be writing an article about writer's block. But since I'm human, contradiction is my middle name, so here I am. And so are you. Which means either you are currently blocked or probably have been blocked in the past.

Five Self-Care Tips We Are Never Taught
Maybe I should begin by saying that self-care was never high on my list of priorities. I've been teaching for over a decade, I've normalized "holding it" for the whole morning and worked straight through lunch regularly. Once, I worked for a charter school that gave us five days off a school year. And paid us bonuses if we didn't use them. But self-care is a real thing that some of us millenials forgot to learn in our eagerness to get ahead. Or, if you graduated right around the recession like me, you did just to get a job at all.

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
"What should I wear so that they will accept me?" "How should I wear my hair? I'm sure they'll want me now." "Maybe this post will make me look like I'm doing better." The truth is... We've all been through this at some point of our lives. Whether it's now or in the past, we've all wanted to be accepted, liked by someone we like, or just simply loved by those around us. For me, it was "maybe if I never make a mistake playing music, I'll be accepted and people will always want me to be a part of they're project." Although in most cases that is a true statement (because who wants someone that messes up all the time), if we're not careful, that ambition that was once so unsophisticated and sinless turns everything sour. Your demeanor turns sour, your smile is sour, your words are sour, and your presence in a room is sour. So even though you look good on the outside and sound good, what do you think you're releasing in a room? Here's a better question for you... What happens when the lights are turned off, the cameras are turned off, and there's no need to deliver?
