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.
Shut Down Mode Engaged — Please Begin Emergency Restart Procedures
Last year, I did well. For a few solid months straight I was super motivated. I wrote articles every day and struggled to decide which projects to work on. Build my audience on Vocal media or here on Medium, finish editing the final draft of my book, and continue writing the new book I’m working on, I capped out most months on my eBay listings on my store.

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?

However, excessive rumination on past events can lead to a range of psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, and hindered decision-making.
