Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Techniques
Meditating and reducing stress is a profound and attainable way to cope with the issues of the present. Our goals in conducting this comprehensive study are to gain a better understanding of mindfulness and its various uses, such as developing emotional regulation skills, building resilience, and learning to regulate our thoughts and feelings in stressful situations. At its core, mindfulness is the discipline of paying undivided attention in the present moment, accepting it as it is without judgment. A staple of modern mental health regimens, it has its roots in age-old contemplative traditions. Being self-aware, or at least able to identify and accept one's own thoughts and feelings without giving them power over one, is a prerequisite to understanding mindfulness.

My Mother's Secret. Content Warning.
I want to make it clear that I do not consent to this story being shared anywhere else. However, I will share my personal experience. When I was 17 years old, I became pregnant with my son. At that time, my family was going through a difficult period. My mother was struggling with depression and disconnected from her husband and our family. She became addicted to the computer, leaving me, as a pregnant teenager, to take care of my younger brother.

The Psychology of Fear (for dummies) Pt. 2
A Quick Recap In one of my earlier articles, we discussed how there are various different causes of fear that have altering degrees of significance to each persons psyche, depending on how relevant it is to their innate "triggers". We discussed how fear can be intentionally taught to a person by altering their responses to certain situations, and things, as well as how certain sounds can induce fear in specific individuals, but not others. Furthermore, we discovered that the state of solitude can induce a fear-response in certain individuals, which is tied to our human evolution. However, none of those discoveries are found to induce fear for every single person across the globe. So the question still remains; What is the one thing that every living human fears, regardless of our cognitive differences?

Twin Shadows
Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It’s the fear of failure but no urge to be productive. It’s wanting friends but hating to socialize. It’s wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. It’s caring about everything, then caring about nothing. It’s feeling everything at once, then feeling paralyzingly numb. — Anonymous
