Introduction of Coping Skills Series
I have, personally, long felt the calling to write about mental health topics. In doing so, I wanted to help others who also struggle feel less alone, to motivate myself to practice coping skills and improve my own mental health, and to form a sense of community.

The Power of Perception to Dictate Our Reality
For anyone who believes that they simply SEE with their eyes, nothing could be further from the truth. We might see the world in a superficial way, but what we THINK we see is actually an interpretation made by our PERCEPTION - an individual view that has been formed, and maintained, by other factors that mould our personality.

Fromm's Objective Happiness: A Critique of THE ART OF BEING
Erich Fromm's argument from an early passage [pages 3-4] from The Art of Being begins with an intuitively attractive distinction. Not every desire deserves to be called a genuine human need merely because it is strongly felt. A person may passionately desire cigarettes, domination, intoxicants, status objects, or forms of behavior that ultimately diminish rather than enrich life. Fromm therefore rejects the idea that happiness can simply mean the successful gratification of whatever desires happen to arise within us. Instead, he proposes an "objective" conception of human flourishing: some needs promote growth, self-realization, love, compassion, and fuller functioning, whereas others deform, diminish, or obstruct the person.
