The Myth of Resilience
It has been a tough week for me. A colleague, a former manager, in fact, died at the age of 45. This was a role I left in 2019. My change in manager from the colleague who recently died was one of the reasons why I left. She was replaced by someone who extended my probation period without warning after I received a bonus/recognition award for my all-around flexible attitude. Apparently, my lack of "resilience" was a concern. I thought I was very resilient when all his conversations with me were directed at my breasts but apparently, that was not enough. I sobbed down the telephone to my former manager on the day I submitted my resignation and I know she felt guilty, that if she had stayed there, I might not have resigned. We cannot go down that rabbit hole though, because it draws in the gender questions, class questions, as well as resilience and what that really means.

Do You Need a Vacation, or Do You Need a Better Life?
I used to have a job I hated so much that my dream vacation was to be put in a chemically induced coma and hooked up to IVs and a colostomy bag for two weeks so I could be blissfully unconscious. I didn’t even care about a morphine drip. Just escaping that soul-sucking reality would have been enough (Although a morphine drip might have been nice.). Then, one day, I found a better way. I built a life for myself that I didn’t want to escape.

Why Swallowing the Frog Is a Great Idea
Photo by Wayne Robinson on Unsplash We’ve all experienced it. That dread that looms over us and ruins our days. And nights. You toss and turn, thinking about that thing you have to do tomorrow. And when you finally get out of bed, things don’t get any better. Your day is ruined before you even get started.

Best Habit Tracker Ideas for Youngsters
Like any other skill, learning to manage your time and stay organized starts at an early age. But these days, most kids are more interested in checking social media than they are in tracking their work or habits. For an app to compete with the likes of Instagram and Facebook, it'll have to provide more than just a schedule and to-do list. (It'll need to be a social network, too.) If your child is looking for a new way to stay on task, here's a rundown of the best habit tracker ideas for young people.

Positive Boredom
Is this an oxymoron -- positive boredom? Sounds like it, doesn't it? I know what you're thinking: "Why would anyone WANT to be bored?" We live in a technological age, an era of immediate access to information and a multitude of options for entertainment. We don't need to be bored when we have all this ...

When in Doubt, Ground Yourself
This story was pushed into being because I recognized a moment in time where I felt myself being drawn in by unknown fears and I was surprised at how well these fears had affected me. It was just a little, but enough that I noticed; enough that I realized my disconnect feelings and energy.

Freedom Is A Choice!
Having freedom in life can be considered a bit of a grey area, as after all, we have certain rules, laws, and regulations, imposed by the respective government of the country that we live in, that we must abide by. So to suggest we have absolute freedom, and we can do what we want, may not totally be 100% accurate. The rules, laws, and regulations imposed though are normally introduced for the greater protection and best interest of society overall. Any act that places oneself or other people's lives at risk or in danger, or violates a person in any way, such as speeding, murder, theft, pedophilia, etc., well they are always going to have laws imposed against them, obviously. There are many laws, rules, and regulations imposed that are perhaps against people's beliefs or religion, and we see opposition to these through the regular protests that take place, but in all fairness, and dependent to which country we reside in, most of us have the freedom to create and live a life by our own design. Unless we break the law, there's nothing stopping us from making decisions that are in our best interest to create a life blessed with happiness, success, and prosperity. Freedom consists of several definitions. Freedom is having "the power or right to act, speak, or think, as one wants". Freedom is having "the power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity". Freedom is being in "a state of not being imprisoned or enslaved". Freedom is being in "a state of being unrestricted, and being able to move easily". Freedom is "having unrestricted use of something". Freedom is being in "the state of not being subject to, or affected by, something undesirable". So what does freedom look like to us though?
