Self-Help Practices that Will Actually Change Your Life
In many parts of the world, self-help tends to get a bad rap for being filled with hokey advice that doesn't work or as a gateway to cult membership. That's often why many people avoid the self-help industry, but this really shouldn't be the case.

Balance
As a passionate and motivated individual, I find it difficult to do anything other than work. I don't mean as in a day-job, which also takes up a large portion of my life, but something I enjoy. 'Work' is a loose term for this, it's something that I aspire to be a full-time lifestyle which pays my bills, but is at the same time something I want to do with every fiber of my being.

People Don't Like You?! You Can Hate Yourself?!
1. People are going to dislike you. This may seem like a counter-intuitive idea to accept when aiming to be more at ease with the self, but it is something that I think is really necessary when searching for self-acceptance.

Why You Shouldn't Settle
All too often, we find ourselves constantly settling for second best. Perhaps we might decide to settle because we have tried everything, drained every possible option, yet, nothing seems to be working. So we settle. We figure, this is what we deserve, nothing else will come along, there is nothing better. We start to make excuses. We start throw the blame around, much too often, landing it on our own shoulders. We convince ourselves that our expectations were too high, that we never would have made it in the first place. Settling is a terribly vicious, almost never ending cycle. Settling is also very easy. However, we should never settled (you should never settle) or feel obligated to do such. Why? Well, here are a bunch of reasons why you should never settle, for anything.

Most Inspirational Movies of All Time
Inspirational movies do more than just tell us a feel-good story. They give us reason to keep on going and believe that we, too, can achieve greatness. Being able to see characters overcoming epic struggles is what makes them great, and what makes us all feel ready to take on the world.

Liking Myself
At the age of 19, I am beginning to learn the benefits of liking myself, and more importantly liking being around myself. See there has always been, within my own mind, and freakish separation between the Hanna that is fully me, and the one who just needs to get shit done. Until recently I would go about my day fulfilling most tasks mindlessly, making lists to myself of everything I had to get done, then once I was finished with my work for the day, I would find someway to continue to push down the mindful Hanna, keep her down with television, scrolling through worthless content on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc. I would not think, I would not be alone with myself, rather I would turn to the noise of the world to drown out the person who I really needed to be a friend to.
