7 Reasons It Is Healthy to Put Yourself First
It can be difficult, between work, family and friends, to find time for yourself. You may feel like a bad friend if you don't have time to grab lunch, or you might think you're a bad employee if you don't give work all of your attention, but that's far from the truth. If you take time for yourself, you'll be there better for others in the moments you give them.

Living with Anxiety & Depression
Sunday morning I woke up, and I've barely slept a wink since. I roll around thinking "I really need to get some sleep" but I'm too aware of the need. My brain won't stop. I'm having dozens of hypothetical conversations in my head while worrying about things that don't matter that much and it feels like adrenaline is the only thing keeping me going. I stand up and feel the blood rushing through my arms, legs and head. It's like I feel every pulse and my heart wants to remind me that it's still working but the sensation brings me no comfort. My eyes are hanging out of my head but I can't relax my mind. Part of me says "find someone who sells weed, it'll shut you down and you can relax peacefully" but another part says "that isn't the answer, it'll probably make things worse".

How To Expose Your Stuck-Point and Get Unstuck
Having trouble finishing that inspired project you’re working on? You have a great idea. You sit down and start working on it. You are full of energy and motivation. And then this unsettled feeling creeps in and your motivation slips away. You become distracted. You can’t sit still. You check your email. You decide to wash the dishes. Your thoughts feel scattered and you figure it would be better to come back to your work when you feel refreshed.

Want to Have a Spiritual Awakening?
Dangers of Fluoride I am having trouble staying focused this morning. My thoughts seem to have a life of their own, I feel a little scattered and unable to concentrate, and it may be due to years of fluoride exposure. Even if this day’s "scatteredness" is just due to the rain, I have most certainly been impacted by the fluoride that has been in my drinking water and in my toothpaste since I was a little girl.

Boobs or Die
Breast cancer is a disease that effects an estimated 1 in 8 women and 1 in 1000 men each year. It comes with a slew of side effects and takes an average of 40,000 lives a year. It is safe to say that it is a deadly, serious disease. However, many individuals, both those who deal with breast cancer and those who do not, feel that breast cancer ads and slogans are sexualized, and as such this takes away from the serious nature of the disease.
