What Do You Do When You Face Changes in Life?

Healing, Life, Personal Growth

Change is something that we all have to deal with in our lives, and even positive change can cause you to feel stressed and out of control. It’s the uncertainty that change brings rather than the change itself which causes the most stress.

This feeling triggers fight or flight reactions within our bodies, elevating the heart rate, increasing blood flow and suppressing the digestive and immune systems. Needless to say, none of this is a healthy way to live your life, so you need to find ways to get better at dealing with change, as there is no way to avoid it altogether.

How to Stop Perfectionism From Ruining Your Life

Personal Growth, Spirit

Being a perfectionist is the kind of thing you claim in a job interview when asked what your biggest weakness is, but the reality is that perfectionism can be incredibly damaging. People who have perfectionist tendencies are more likely to workaholics or suffer from depression, sleep problems and many other illnesses.

It can also lead to career problems because while it might sound like an easy weakness to tell an interviewer, its effects include harsh self-criticism, low self-esteem, and procrastination brought on by a fear of making mistakes. None of these are helpful when it comes to productivity and success at work.

When You Get Stuck in a Moment

Inspiration, Mental Health, Mind, Personal Growth, Spirit

Once in a while, we find a song that means more than all other hit songs. It embeds itself in the recesses of our brains, so much so that upon hearing the first few notes, all sorts of emotions bubble up to the surface. That, or they explode like a pressure cooker with a clogged release hatch. Not once. Not twice. Maybe not even three times. No, more often than we’d like.

For me, that song is U2’s Stuck in a Moment. [Read more…] about When You Get Stuck in a Moment

How to Achieve Your Dreams Even Though You’re Scared

Inspiration, Personal Growth, Spirit

Have you ever wondered what “living your dreams” meant? Just close your eyes for a minute. Take a long, deep breath. Think: what life you really wish for yourself? What goals do you want to achieve? That’s the dream to follow.

What prevents you from achieving that dream? Fear.

Fear is defined as “an emotional response induced by a perceived threat.” When you’re thinking about following your dreams, there are few threats along the way:

  • You might lose your current comfort
  • You could lose a lot of money
  • You might lose the affection of few people along the journey
  • You might fail

The fear of messing up paralyzes you. It makes you ignore the thought “Hey, maybe I can make it!” Fear is practically robbing you of opportunities, and it’s time to stop that pattern once and for all.
