Society has made being a human with normal reactions and emotions an inconvenience. We can’t even behave normally when a loved one get sick or passes, or we lose our jobs or a child is in trouble, and many of the other countless things that can go wrong in life. Because we are always just “so busy”.

We have all felt it before. That sinking feeling. The pit in your stomach; the sweaty palms.. And maybe, even the need to use the bathroom: Fear. It’s a common emotion that we have all felt at different points in our lives.

Rest! And I know this may seem like a simple or like the most basic answer in the world, but trust me it is a lot harder than you think! If it wasn’t hard, I think there would be a lot more relaxed and peaceful people in the world.

Usually at the start of the new year, everyone is looking to better themselves for the new future they are about to face in the upcoming year. People look to better their health, eating habits, style and even relationships. But many times, no one thinks about what they can do to better their mental health.

Yea, you’ve all heard it already. And don’t get me wrong, this high level of motivation is great. The only problem is sometimes the higher your motivation, the quicker it drops and harder it is to maintain. It’s the third full week of the new year and I already see people giving up on their goals and plans! Why?

Emotions running high? T’is the season to be stressed, overwhelmed and spent (both emotionally and financially). While the Christmas may be “the most wonderful time of the year”, the reality is you just feel stressed out.

Have ever had a time where you look around and you say “how the heck did I get here?” or “how did I become like this?” The thing is what we fail to realize is that how we are or where we are in life is a result of decisions we either said “yes” or “no” to.

Take a step back and breathe. It’s so hard to ask for help! You’ve done so many things well by yourself. But you need to realize when it’s time to call for back-up, while realizing there is nothing wrong with needing help every now and again.
