All situations that happen to us in life have no inherent meaning. We are the ones who assign meaning to everything that happens. We see various situations through certain frames or lenses. With cognitive reframing, we change the way we look at things and consequently change how we experience them. Have you [...]
The prospect of going to a silent meditation retreat both thrills and scares me at the same time. For ten days, I’ll be required to meditate for most of my waking hours, eat in very minimal amounts and rest. You might be wondering why anyone would willingly head into solitary confinement, but it [...]
I have a theory...and though it may not be popular, I’m going to reveal it anyways.I believe that we live in constant states of stress because deep down we like it. Now by like it, I don’t mean we like it the way we like chocolate or french fries. I mean like it [...]
