Unique Self-Care Activities for the Mind, Body, Soul & Surroundings
Self-care is a term we've all heard of at some point. Influencers and news articles push us to do self-care, such as taking baths or doing yoga. Although these activities are great, they may not be as useful for everyone. There are hundreds of thousands of ways one can practice self-care with purpose.
Elat I
And he walks in. Just like last time when he had an appointment but this time he had no appointment and he just came in to come in. As the door shut close behind him, the snow storm became merely a swoosh heard from a distance. He tapped and wiped his boots on the mat and stepped on the carpet and waited for a little while. The little rectangular hole in the wall was luminated and he saw a hot cup of coffee sitting on the desk with the stream rolling out and upwards. But, no one has come to greet him yet.
The Darkest of Days
I can feel it, like black ink slowly seeping into my brain. Soaking in and making itself at home. I feel it dripping through my body, spreading throughout my veins to each and every fingertip. Holding my eyes open is difficult, everything is heavy. My body is jittery and shaking on the inside, but I am so, so tired. I smile and laugh, nodding my head at whatever was said a moment ago. I missed it completely but everyone else thought it was funny, so I join in hoping that that’s the right thing to do. I feel like a shell of myself on days like this. The outside me, the shell is there to wave good morning and she moves around like a normal, functioning human being. Then there is me on the inside. Not connected to anything on the outside, just there, curled up and wondering when it will be time to sleep. I’m just there protected by my shell. I rattle around on the inside, vibrating out of control, itching to get out. I can’t really hear much of what happens on the outside, but I try really hard to process and respond accordingly anyway.
Balewood Hospital
Running his fingers over the spine of three different charts, Vrain was still the most impressed with Shane's records. The other was a female named Aria, an armature runner with a need for pushing her body beyond its limits. Damion was the next one, a relatively fit male who got his workouts at work. Lastly, there was the equally good looking Drake. Vrain wondered which of the three males would be able to take the most.

A book I'll never forget
Sometime before the shutdown, I was at the library and I did something unusual. I walked through the 'aisles' between bookshelves and took note of what books were in stock. This was unusual because typically I go with my laptop and other materials. I get my work done and leave thereafter. However, on this fateful day, I found myself browsing through aisles until I was in the health and wellness section.

Positive Psychology
To begin my reflection, I’d like to do a quick summary of key features that I will refer to throughout my reactions. She divides the hows of happiness into ten main ‘to do’s’. She first provides evidence that you can in fact become happier. Second she has the reader reflect on their person level of happiness, third she gives an array of happiness activities and emphasizes the importance of finding one that matches your personal interests, values and needs. Forth, after introducing happiness activities she begins a categorization of those activities, starting with gratitude and positive thinking. Fifth, and the next set of activities is investing in social interactions, sixth managing stress, hardship and trauma, seventh living in the present, eighth committing to your goals, ninth taking care of your body and soul, and finally she describes ways of sustaining your happiness. She even adds a final chapter specific to those suffering from depression and anxiety. My main reaction to this book is very positive. She has successfully compiled numerous happiness activities and positive ways of sustaining and achieving them. I have read a lot of books pertaining to pulling oneself out of depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc. but this is the first scholarly yet personable book on achieving more than ones baseline.

Book Review: "Breath" by James Nestor
This is a book about, you guessed it, breathing and how to breathe. The science of breathing is an interesting story because it is only when you actually think about your breathing that you begin to breathe manually. James Nestor admittedly has his own sinus problems when it comes to breathing but there are things that are better about his explanations of these experiences than other aspects. First of all, he has massive chunks of anecdotes and autobiographical information followed by explanations on top of scientific explanations on top of just a one-sentence seeming ‘example’ from some time in history. The book, though easy to read, is badly organised and has though it grabs your attention at the beginning with the brilliantly written prologue, it falters to keep your attention throughout the blocks and blocks of scientific stuff and various pieces of information about various sects and histories. So, I want to have a look at the main pros and cons of this book and how they come into play throughout the text.

The Spiritual Lessons Revealed In Eat Pray Love By Elizabeth Gilbert
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is by now a classic and although, I read it the first time before it became a motion picture, I am most certainly in a different space emotionally and spiritually this time round as I finished it for the second time yesterday . I got so much more out of it and was deeply touched by the magnitude of spiritual teachings, gently integrated into our psyche beginning with Gilbert’s voyage to Italy. The author trying to find refuge after a horrible divorce and treacherous bouts of depression begins a year of travel aboard.
