Mental health and psychology are essential in life extension and leading a healthy and happy life.
Life As I Know It
Life As I Know It. Please don’t tell me I need to keep a positive attitude. I deal with my RA every day, and so I know just how emotionally and physically dangerous giving in to depression can be. Despair is awful and I wish (more than you know) that I could simply “snap out” of it when that feeling takes hold. I know you mean well when you to tell me not to let it get me down, but telling someone with a chronic disease that they “need to keep a positive attitude” is condescending – it makes me feel as if you’re diminishing what I’m going through. Your well-intentioned pep talk doesn’t help me rise above it at all, it leaves me feeling as if I’ve somehow failed.

Ever Wondered How to Love Yourself?
Love and relationships, self and others. For so long I have always wondered, "what's the point?" For as far back as I can remember, I always felt unworthy of someone's love. From being a child and being bounced around from family member to family member, to being on the streets alone, and frightened because I didn't know how I was going to get my next meal. Nobody around to help, nobody around to talk to, but myself... nobody cared, or so that's how I thought. My father wasn't really there through my childhood, and my mother did the best she could, but that eventually ran out as well.

7 Chakras for Beginners
Chakras for beginners will help you learn the importance of the seven energy chakras inside the body. These centers align with one another and allow for the natural flow of energy to maintaining health and wellness. When a chakra becomes blocked or misaligned with the other six, the flow of energy is restricted and the body responds with anxiety, and physical and mental imbalances, often in the areas of the actual blockage. This article will teach you how to recognize the areas where a blockage may be responsible for physical and emotional distress. Meditation, yoga, color energy, and crystal energy are traditional techniques used to maintain physical and emotional health by keeping your energy fluid. These seven chakras for beginners will help you to understand these connections which will result in the ability to cleanse, unblock, and activate your chakras.

Night Away
In the 2002 movie The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood Ashley Judd’s character flees home, family, and perhaps sanity as she escapes to a seaside hotel. Awaking a day or so later, she learns from the hotel operator how much time has passed. In that moment, the power of revitalization has taken over. The viewer can almost see the sweet relief in her shoulders, even as she frantically calls her children. Yet, the power and pressure of the young—and even more mature—mother is not the only narrative here. Women, across the board, are all in need of that frantic night away. The solitary night, in a bed you didn’t have to make, sheets you didn’t have to wash, a shower that you don’t have to scrub . . . the power and the moment are here.

Happiness is a Choice
There is an aspect of life whereby all creatures unite. It is often said to be the key to success in every way and without it we feel like something is missing. It is something we all strive for and want even though we sacrifice it way too often, and way too easily. It is absolutely free of charge and actually, it is our birthright.

Culture in 70% of the World Involves Being In or Under the Water
Call it Snorkeling or Freediving, it is a sport most families could enjoy together. While it will be more fun, more rapidly, if you begin with an instructor for at least one pool session for basic skills, snorkeling is close to intuitive for many people, meaning this is an adventure you can enjoy almost immediately.

Yoga Vs Pilates
I am qualified to teach both Yoga and Pilates, and though my preference, by and large, is Yoga, I am going to try and make this as non-biased as possible. I began my Yoga journey 8 years ago but Pilates is fairly new to me. Frequently thrown into the same pot, I think most people are under the impression that Yoga and Pilates are exactly the same. I was also under this impression. Largely because, when I began training to teach Yoga, my school offered me a discounted rate on the Pilates course based on the fact I would already have the required anatomy and physiology certificates to go forward with another course. At first I didn’t want to, I had never taken a Pilates class in my life and didn’t think it would be possible to learn an entirely new skill alongside learning to teach it. However, I was assured that Pilates was EXACTLY like Yoga and that the qualifications went hand in hand. A lot of Studios look for teachers qualified in both.
