Keep Calm and Carry On
KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON. Anxiety...let's find a cure, not another pill. Did you know that anxiety is the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting more than 40 million adults every year. That is 18.1 percent of our entire population! But, there is good news! Anxiety is highly treatable, although only 36.9 percent of people suffering receive treatment. Anxiety could develop from a number of things, such as; genetics, brain chemistry, life events, and personality. Anxiety is also usually self diagnosable (thanks WebMD!).

Tips on How to Become Self-Aware
Most of us, at one point or another, have met a person who clearly had no idea how they were coming across. Among girls, this usually happens when they meet a potential date who starts yelling at them the minute that she says no or doesn't respond in an "acceptable" time frame. Among guys, they will often see it with a friend who just doesn't quite understand how regular interactions work.

The Book of Happiness: Why?
I got it wrong. I got it all wrong. Unfortunately, I think most of us do. Back in September, I grabbed a large one-subject notebook and a sharpie and so proudly named it, “My First $100,000 Book.” In it, I keep all my notes from prominent figures and entrepreneurs I had the pleasure to meet, notes for businesses and side hustles, and whatever else I saw fitting to help me reach that goal that I so generously set for September 2018. For a student graduating in December of 2017, that was highly ambitious, but that was the point. Even if I miss the goal, chasing it would give me the proper foundation to actually achieve it the next year. It forced me to detail and plan how many different revenues I needed to build to generate that income and reach success…in my book.

My ADHD Brain
Journal entry from March 21st 2017: I've had the cloudiest head ever and it's making me feel almost worn out. I constantly feel weak and unfamiliar. I'm not afraid to admit it now. I can’t keep trying to magic the "negativity" away when it’s clearly more than that. I feel like I'm constantly confused and arguing with myself about why I'm feeling or behaving a certain way or why I'm not sticking to or doing certain things that I have such a passion for and could do with such joy and ease. Why can’t I just force myself to prevent having to walk around carrying this guilt? Why, on certain days do I feel so disinterested? Like I have no desire to commit to the things and people I love and then when I do take the leap, I have zero consistency or just simply forget that I started. The confusing bit is on other days, I'm feeling so content yet excited and peaceful all at once and then I find I'm experiencing discomfort and anxiety attached to this feeling. Like it makes me claustrophobic to feel peace. I'm overwhelmed and on edge when I'm in my so-called desired state. How annoying! Does that mean I don’t "suit" happiness?

Tips to Starting over Again
I am sitting in a yoga class and feeling way out of my league. I've attended classes before; but that was before I hit a rut and stopped practicing for a while. As I move through my vinyasas and my poses I am thinking, 'I know this, I can do this!' Yet my body does not want to keep up. My downward dog feels awkward and forget about warrior three. I had been practicing yoga for about three and half years and I have never felt this out of place or this dysfunctional. However, I am determined to get back into the grove and back onto my path of owning my own studio.

We Moved!
What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do? I've gotten myself though abuse, addictions, and suicidal thoughts; now, I'm getting myself through a move. A month ago, I moved to a new town to start over. A fresh start was something my son and I needed. Like anything, changes has its ups and downs. The only person I know here is my boyfriend, and I am so grateful to be able to live with him and have a new family life, but the change has been hard. My depression has gotten considerably worse.

Enjoy Life — Don't Be in Our Own Way
Who has ever felt anxious, depressed, sad. or just unhappy? Yep! That's what I thought, everybody. So by knowing that you are not the only one that has ever suffered from something, listen (more like keep your eyes open) to what I say (write).
