Emotional Intelligence
Referring to the book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ- By Daniel Goleman. Find it here on Amazon https://amzn.to/2vf2bJh (Available for Kindle, Audiobook, and Hardcover). Also...if you use Amazon Smile, rather than Amazon, a percentage of what you pay for your product, goes to a charity of your choice, at no cost to you. Just saying.

Mindfulness - How?
I keep getting told to be mindful. "Mindfulness is the key!" I keep getting told. Whether its my friends, partner, therapist...they all keep telling me the same thing. However, what exactly is "mindfulness"? At first I thought it had to do with self-awareness, and how my behavior effects others. Then, one day in group therapy, the therapist asks us all to close our eyes and be mindful of the things around us. He asked us to tap into our five sense.

5 Ways to Not Let Your Disorders Control You
How do you not let a diagnosis control you? How do you not let it define your entire life? With each new doctor, each diagnosis is either thrown away, or a new one is created. New words are added, old words are thrown away. As if each new doctor knows everything about you in the entire hour they have known you. As if that intake questionnaire was going to tell them exactly who I am and what kind of help I need. How do you not over think that? How do you not get angry?

My Attempt at Being Consistent
I have always wanted to wake up at 6am, do some morning yoga, maybe go jogging, or even for a light walk, shower, eat breakfast, then start my day. Who knows, maybe I can even read a chapter of my book before the actual day begins. Get up with the sunrise, settle down when the sun sets and relax. Eat breakfast before noon, so I can eat lunch at noon, and dinner in the evening time. Go to bed around 10, get my full nights sleep in before I have to wake up the next morning. That sounds nice, a whole three meals per day with snacks?! A perfect amount of hours at night? Sounds pretty normal to me. Sadly, this is not my life.
