Science Has Proven (Again) That Appreciation Makes Us More Charitable (And Happy)
As we drown in a sea of stress, countless calm and staid gurus remind us of the necessity of appreciation in maintaining a hold on our existence - so screwed up that it frequently appears to slip out of our hands. The mindfulness advice that is more relevant than ever for this historical moment that has put us all to the test is to constantly find a moment to practice thankfulness, aka the habit that does a lot of good for our mental and physical wellbeing. That's not all: it can even modify our brain such that it becomes unselfish. Yes, as Vox reports, a massive body of research on gratitude conducted over the last 20 years - involving real VIPs in psychology and psychiatry - has revealed that there is a profound physical connection between gratitude and altruism, so much so that both positive traits share a neural path inside our brain. To cut a long tale short, when we feel grateful for anything, our brain immediately becomes more kind and tolerant of others. And the advantages are numerous.

What Is the 'Liking Gap,' and Why Are Individuals Frightened of Being Hated by Everyone?
Consider the following scenario: you and a new acquaintance (or perhaps an old acquaintance you haven't seen in a long time) are speaking normally, gently moving from topic to topic. The tone of the discourse is friendly. I'm doing fantastic, you thought between two assenting smiles. You smile at each other. A concept enters your mind hours or days later. God, I should not have said that. You can't stop replaying the talk, focused on where you went wrong. You eventually conclude that the other person thinks you're a complete moron.

You Are Not Alone!
Someone told me a long time ago, that generally after the age of 30 the waters calm down. I don't know, we end up being more understanding, we prioritize our desires differently or we choose to enjoy our passions and what makes us happy, and we are more satisfied with what we have.

Who Rescued Who?
When I graduated high school, we had 3 dogs and 4 cats. Unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to take any of them with me. In those 4 short years away from my hometown, my parents divorced and my father made it a point in the settlement that he keep the pets. Once the divorce was finalized, he told my mother that she had a short amount of time to find another home for all of our pets or he would put them all down. This is considered typical narcissistic behavior by psychologists and his poor behavior is why they needed to divorce in the first place. She and I were both horrified, to say the least. I was working part time and lived a few hours away in an apartment that did not allow pets. My mom had to move in with my grandmother because she did not have enough money to pay for her own rent. It was a dire situation. I looked like a bit of a lunatic at work begging my coworkers to take one of my childhood pets. One person came through and gave one of my cats a new home. My grandmother took in another cat which was a huge help and also great for mom to see one of her pets daily. My hairdresser took another cat. The 4th cat died of feline immunodeficiency virus before he could be rehomed. One of the dogs passed away of old age and one of my aunts took in the final two dogs. All in all, my father crushed my soul and gave me very little faith in humanity, but others truly came to the rescue.

Remembering September 11th—Twenty-One Years Later
The kindergarten bus was late. I peered up at the clear blue sky and held my oldest daughter’s hand at the bus stop, trying not to appear anxious as I obsessively checked my watch. It was my turn to drive the preschool carpool and the timing couldn’t have been worse. I had an amniocentesis scheduled later that day, so I needed to move fast getting to and from the school across town. When the bus finally arrived, I sprinted home to get ready for Round 2 of my hectic morning.
