The world will not stop its pace because of your fatigue
The world will not stop its pace because of your fatigue 1. At first, it is clear that life belongs to you alone, and only to you. If you wander around the corner and no one asks you to guide you; When it rains suddenly, few people come to give you umbrellas, not to mention if you are sick, there are indeed a few people running around for you.
Tell me what anxiety feels like?
She pushes her glasses slightly up the bridge of her nose and looks directly at me. Why do all therapists wear glasses? Is it to see into your soul more clearly?
Overthinkers Should Write A Whole Lot More Than They Think
To tell you the truth, I am an overthinker and the only way I’ve felt sane is when I write my thoughts out. At some point, I thought it would be childlike to do so but I realized that it’s a form of freeing one’s mind. It doesn’t matter what age you are. If you’re an overthinker, this can be helpful. It doesn’t have to be a secret diary or a long journal entry (Unless you want it to be). It can simply be releasing those unsatisfying thoughts from your mind onto paper.
Change, please start today
Habit is an important factor in success in life. Good habits make people successful, bad habits make people decadent. Psychological counseling experts found that a person's work, study is good or bad, 20% and intelligence factors related, 80% and non-intelligence factors related, and in confidence, will, habits, interests, personality and other non-intelligence factors, habits and occupy an important position. There was a test where three people were asked to do the same thing, and the results were very different depending on the work habits of each person. Around us, such examples are numerous. Good habits allow us to reduce the time for thinking, simplify the steps of action, and make us more efficient; Bad habits make us closed, conservative, self-righteous, and conformist. However, in the face of bad habits in our lives, the power of our habits to cling to the norm has greater control over us than the power to pursue change.
Your Name Is Spiritual
A name is not only an expression or term of endearment, but our name sometimes can be prophetic. My name is Alexis. I have quite the origin story.

Meagan AshcroftPublished 2 years ago in PsycheI live like an island of fear
The streets outside were muddy. The porch of the apartment was covered with dirty snow. Mr. Ivan is on his way back from Spring Festival shopping. He carried over his shoulder a large, bulging knit bag bearing the department store's call stamp. He stepped in from the foot of the wall, treading the felt, laboriously but gingerly. He didn't want the floor to get dirty.
A Night Out
‘Are we still on for tonight?’ The message popped up on my screen, and my stomach dropped. Plans which I had confirmed weeks ago, and now the day was here, I felt sick. Should I say no because I don’t want to go, but if I say no she’s going to be mad at me but she will be even madder at me if I go and I’m obviously not enjoying myself but I might enjoy myself if I go and have a good time but what if I don’t have a good time?

How do we exercise the ability to not be nervous?
First teach you a simple and incredible method that can greatly relieve your tension and anxiety: Sit down in an empty space, close your eyes, and shift your thinking from "What will this thing cost me?" to "What will I have by doing this?"
A young man swayed by life advice
It seems that we have received all kinds of life advice since childhood. Parents advise you to give up your hobbies and study hard in academic classes, teachers advise you to pay less attention to your favorite literature and do better in math. These advice seems to be unreasonable in some sense. Do you really have the ability to pursue those hobbies that you've stuck with for years when you're running for life and overwhelmed by reality? When you can't get better educational resources, good cultural atmosphere, good teacher guidance, you are good at the subject, will there be better development? In some ways, life advice is "useful" and will make us "happier" or "better" in the future. So we follow life advice, avoid the detour, get there easier, feel smug, and see a lot of grown-ups, who didn't take life advice, line up a bunch of "what if" sentences, beat their chests, and feel miserable. We give ourselves too much life advice, so we look around, turn back, indulge in the past and fantasy, and even stop fighting. I've heard a lot of parents tell their children, I was just like you and I didn't listen to advice, so I'm poor and unhappy now. But if you think about this sentence carefully, is your whole life, or one thing, really going to never change because you didn't listen to someone else?
John WilsonPublished 2 years ago in PsycheMoney and Success
In the era of commodity economy, some people regard money as the only standard to measure success in life. There's no denying that in real life, you can't do anything without money -- it takes money to stay afloat, it takes money to stay in hospital, it takes money to open relationships. More money and less money affect people's quality of life all the time.
