It’s just one of those things that makes more a difference than you think it will. Sleeping under a beautiful weightless cloud of bird-warmth feels so much better than wrapping yourself in, like, endless layers of swampy padding made out of recycled plastic bottles. <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">Good Housekeeping</i> <span style="color: #0077ee;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">has recommendations</span></span> for the very best in feathers.</div>

Europeans know this, and so should you: Sleeping top-sheetless feels LUXURIOUS AS HECK. It also means making the bed is basically zero work, and you’ll never again wake up with a dumb, useless piece of fabric tangled around your legs. Look for an easy-to-wash duvet cover made of soft, natural fiber (flannel, cotton, linen, etc).</div>

This will make a much bigger difference than upping your thread count, which is<span style="color: #0077ee;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">basically a scam</span></span> anyway.

Why are relationships so hard today? Why do we fail at love every time, despite trying so hard? Why have humans suddenly become so inept at making relationships last? Have we forgotten how to love? Or worse, forgotten what love is?</div>

We’re not prepared. We’re not prepared for the sacrifices, for the compromises, for the unconditional love. We’re not ready to invest all that it takes to make a relationship work. We want everything easy. We’re quitters. All it takes is a single hurdle to make us crumble to our feet. We don’t let our love grow, we let go before time.</div>

It’s not love we’re looking for, only excitement and thrill in life. We want someone to watch movies and party with, not someone who understands us even in our deepest silences. We spend time together, we don’t make memories. We don’t want the boring life. We don’t want a partner for life, just someone who can make us feel alive right now, this very instant. When the excitement fades, we discover nobody ever prepared us for the mundane. We don’t believe in the beauty of predictability because we’re too blinded by the thrill of adventure.</div>

We immerse ourselves in the inconsequentials of the city life, leaving no space for love. We don’t have time to love, we don’t have the patience to deal with relationships. We’re busy people chasing materialistic dreams and there’s no scope to love. Relationships are nothing more than convenience. </div>

We look for instant gratification in everything we do – the things we post online, the careers we choose, and the people we fall in love with. We want the maturity in a relationship that comes with time, the emotional connect that develops over years, that sense of belonging when we barely even know the other person. Apparently, nothing’s worth our time and patience – not even love.</div>

We’d rather spend an hour each with a hundred people than spending a day with one. We believe in having ‘options’. We’re ‘social’ people. We believe more in meeting people than getting to know them. We’re greedy. We want to have everything. We get into relationships at the slightest attraction and step out, the moment we find someone better. We don’t want to bring out the best in that one person. We want them to be perfect. We date a lot of people but rarely give any of them a real chance. We’re disappointed in everyone.</div>

Technology has brought us closer, so close that it’s impossible to breathe. Our physical presence has been replaced by texts, voice messages, snapchats and video calls. We don’t feel the need to spend time together anymore. We have too much of each other already. There’s nothing left to talk about.</div>

We’re a generation of ‘wanderers’ who wouldn’t stay at one place for too long. Everyone is commitment phobic. We believe we’re not meant for relationships. We don’t want to settle down. Even the thought of it is scary. We cannot imagine being with one person for the rest of our lives. We walk away. We despise permanence like its some social evil. We like to believe we’re ‘different’ than the rest. We like to believe we don’t conform to social norms.</div>

We’re a generation that calls itself ‘sexually liberated’. We can tell sex apart from love, or so we think. We’re the hook-up-break-up generation. We have sex first and then decide if we want to love someone. Sex comes easy, loyalty doesn’t. Getting laid has become the new getting drunk. You do it not because you love the other person, but because you want to feel good. It’s all the temporary fulfillment we need. Sex outside relationships isn’t a taboo anymore. Relationships aren’t that simple anymore. There are open relationships, friends with benefits, causal flings, one-night stands, no strings attached – we’ve left very little exclusivity for love in our lives.</div>

We’re the practical generation who runs by logic alone. We don’t know how to love madly anymore. We wouldn’t take a flight to a far-off land just to see someone we love. We’d break up because, long distance. We’re too sensible for love. Too sensible for our own good.</div>

We’re a scared generation – scared to fall in love, scared to commit, scared to fall, scared to get hurt, scared to get our hearts broken. We don’t allow anyone in, nor do we step out and love anyone unconditionally. We lurk from behind walls we’ve created ourselves, looking for love and running away the moment we really find it. We suddenly ‘cannot handle it’. We don’t want to be vulnerable. We don’t want to bare our soul to anyone. We’re too guarded.</div>

We don’t even value relationships anymore. We let go of the most wonderful people for ‘the other fishes in the sea.’ We don’t consider them sacred anymore.</div>

There’s nothing we couldn’t conquer in this world, and yet, here we are ham-fisted at the game of love – the most basic of human instincts. Evolution, they call it.</div>

I talk to myself a lot. And I don't mean only in the privacy of my own home. I talk to myself while I'm walking down the street, when I'm in my office or when I'm shopping.</div>

It also makes me look insane. <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit; outline: none;">Crazy</em> people talk to themselves, right?

Albert Einstein talked to himself. He wasn't an avid social butterfly when he was growing up, and he preferred to keep to himself.</div>

Talking to yourself makes your brain work more efficiently.</h2>

In a study <span style="color: #4992d3;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">printed</span></span> in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, psychologists Daniel Swigley and Gary Lupya hypothesized that talking to yourself was actually beneficial.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
We’re all guilty of it, right? We might as well celebrate it and study the benefits.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
In one experiment, Swigley and Lupya gave 20 people the name of an object (like a loaf of bread or an apple), which they were told to find in the supermarket.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
During the first set of trials, the participants were bound to silence. In the second set, they repeated the object’s name out loud as they looked for it in the store.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
According to <span style="color: #4992d3;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Live Science</span></span>, test subjects found the object with greater ease when they spoke to themselves while searching. Saying things out loud sparks memory. It solidifies the end game and makes it tangible.</div>

Talking out loud to yourself helps you only when you know what you need.</h2>

If you want to find something, speaking the object’s name out loud is helpful only when you’re familiar with its appearance.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
You have to know what it is you're looking for; otherwise, you'll just confuse yourself. According to <span style="color: #4992d3;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Lupyan</span></span>:</div>

Speaking to yourself isn’t always helpful — if you don’t really know what an object looks like, saying its name can have no effect or actually slow you down. If, on the other hand, you know that bananas are yellow and have a particular shape, by saying banana, you’re activating these visual properties in the brain to help you find them.</div>

In other words, you can't make sense of something without knowing what you're dealing with. If you know what you need and verbalize its name, you will better your chances of finding it.</div>

Talking to yourself helps you achieve your goals.</h2>

Making a list of goals and setting out to achieve them can be hard to do. It can be overwhelming.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
Talking yourself through those goals is a much steadier way to achieve them. If you walk yourself through the process, each step will seem less difficult and more concise.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
Things will suddenly seem doable, and you'll be less apprehensive about diving into the problem.</div>

As <span style="color: #4992d3;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Sapadin</span></span> puts it, “Saying [your goals] out loud focuses your attention, reinforces the message, controls your runaway emotions and screens out distractions.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; visibility: visible;">
It puts things in perspective and grounds you.</div>

Talking to yourself means that you are self-reliant. <span style="color: #4992d3;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Like</span></span> Albert Einstein, who “was highly gifted and acquired early in his life the ability to exploit his talents,” people who talk to themselves are highly proficient and count on only themselves to figure out what they need.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
It’s no secret there’s a serious stigma attached to mental illness. According to the CDC, only <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">25 percent</span></span> of people with mental health issues feel that other people are compassionate and sympathetic toward them. It’s a shameful statistic when <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">one in four people have been touched by some form of mental illness</span></span>.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Experts say that part of the problem when it comes to criticizing someone’s mental health is a <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">lack of empathy and knowledge about the ailments</span></span>. Yet, despite the staggering evidence and rhetoric aimed at helping people understand, many people<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">still</em> don’t get that being diagnosed with a mental illness isn’t something that’s in their control — just like having the flu, or food poisoning, or cancer isn’t in their control.</div>

<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">

In an effort to reframe the conversation, artist <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Robot Hugs</span></span> created a comic that displays what it would be like if we discussed physical illnesses in the same way we do mental illnesses.

It is somewhat strange to address this to you, given that I strongly identify with many aspects of your culture and am half-white myself. Yet, today is another day you have forced me to decide what race I am — and, as always when you force me — I fall decidedly into “Person of Color.”</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Every comment or post I have read today voicing some version of disdain for the people of Baltimore — “I can’t understand” or “They’re destroying their own community” or “Destruction of Property!” or “Thugs” — tells me that many of you are not listening. I am not asking you to condone or agree with violence. I just need you to listen. You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to, but instead of forming an opinion or drawing a conclusion, please let me tell you what I hear:</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I hear hopelessness<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I hear oppression<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I hear pain<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I hear internalized oppression<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I hear despair<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I hear anger<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I hear poverty</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you are not listening, not exposing yourself to unfamiliar perspectives, not watching videos, not engaging in conversation, then you are perpetuating white privilege and white supremacy. It is exactly your ability to <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">not</em> hear, to ignore the situation, that is a mark of your privilege. People of color cannot turn away. Race affects our lives every day. We must consider it all the time, not just when it is convenient.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As a person of color, even if you are privileged your whole life, as I have been, you cannot escape from the shade of your skin. Being a woman defines me; coming from a relatively affluent background defines me; my sexual orientation, my education, my family and my job define me. Other than being a woman, every single one of those distinctions gives me privilege in our society. Yet, even with all that privilege, people still treat me differently.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For most of my childhood, I refused to allow race to be my most defining feature. I actually chose for most of my childhood to refuse race as my most defining feature. But I found that a very hard position to maintain, given the way the world interacts with me and the people I love. Because I have to worry about my brother and my cousins getting stopped by the police. Because people react to my wonderful, kind, intelligent father differently, depending on whether he’s wearing a suit or sweat pants. Race has defined the way I see the world like no other characteristic has.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This can be hard to understand, if you never experienced it firsthand. So again, for just one more moment, reserve your judgments and listen. This is what you might come to realize, if you spent your days in my skin.<img alt="" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; display: inline-block; height: auto; list-style: none; margin: auto; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>

The first time the police don’t even tell the school beforehand. The cops just show up early in the morning, set up a metal detector and X-ray scanner, and fill the cafeteria with dozens of policemen. As your young students file in in the morning, the NYPD scans them like they’re going through airport security right after 9/11. They confiscate cellphones, and pat some of students down, particularly the older-looking boys. As you watch this, you feel anger welling up in your chest and almost start to cry. You think, “Why are you treating my kids like criminals?!” Children are in tears. The screenings are not due to any specific threat, but rather as part of a “random screening program” — but one that never seems to make its way to the Upper East Side. White America’s children are told they can go to college, be anything. These students are treated like suspects. And that is exactly what society will tell your children one day, unless something changes.</div>

These are my experiences. They have deeply affected who I am. And I am SO PRIVILEGED. Mine has been a decidedly easy life for a person of color in America. I try to conceptualize what it is like for my students who got wanded by the NYPD, my students who have been stopped and frisked, my students whose parents work multiple jobs, my students on free and reduced-price lunch, my students whom white adults move away from because they look “scary.”</div>

I try, when I can, to listen to them, because only by validating their feelings can we begin to find a way to overcome the challenges they face. That doesn’t mean I let them off easy when they do something wrong. But I try to understand the why.</div>

I don’t need you to validate anyone’s actions, but I need you to validate what black America is feeling. If you cannot understand how experiences like mine or my students’ would lead to hopelessness, pain, anger, and internalized oppression, you are still not listening. So listen. Listen with your heart.</div>

Sometime between when we were children and when we had children of our own, parenthood became a religion in America. As with many religions, complete unthinking devotion is required from its practitioners. Nothing in life is allowed to be more important than our children, and we must never speak a disloyal word about our relationships with our offspring. Children always come first. We accept this premise so reflexively today that we forget that it was not always so.</div>

To understand the frightening power of the parenthood religion, one need look no further than the 2005 <span style="color: #168dd9; font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; cursor: pointer; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">essay in The New York Times</span></span> by Ayelet Waldman, where the author explained that she loved her husband more than her four children. On “Oprah Where Are They Now,” the author recently reaffirmed the sentiments reflected in her New York Times article, and she added that her outlook has had a positive impact on her children by giving them a sense of security <span style="color: #168dd9; font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; cursor: pointer; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">in their parents’ relationship</span></span>. Following the publication of her essay, Waldman was not only shouted down by America for being a bad mother; strangers threatened her physically and told her that they would report her to child protective services. This is not how a civil society conducts open-minded discourse. This is how a religion persecutes a heretic.</div>

The origins of the parenthood religion are obscure, but one of its first manifestations may have been the “baby on board” placards that became <span style="color: #168dd9; font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; cursor: pointer; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">popular in the mid-1980s</span></span>. Nobody would have placed such a sign on a car if it were not already understood by society that the life of a human achieves its peak value at birth and declines thereafter. A toddler is almost as precious as a baby, but a teenager less so, and by the time that baby turns fifty, it seems that nobody cares much anymore if someone crashes into her car. You don’t see a lot of vehicles with placards that read, “Middle-aged accountant on board.”</div>
<div class="annotatable has-annotations" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; border: 0px; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "PT Serif", Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 30px; padding: 16px 0px; position: relative; transition: background 0.5s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another sign of the parenthood religion is that it has become totally unacceptable in our culture to say anything bad about our children, let alone admit that we don’t like them all of the time. We are allowed to say bad things about our spouses, our parents, our aunts and uncles, but try saying, “My kid doesn’t have a lot of friends because she’s not a super likable person,” and see how fast you get dropped from the PTA.</div>

When people choose to have children, they play a lottery. Children have the same range of positive and negative characteristics as adults, and the personalities of some children are poorly matched with those of their parents. Nature has protected children against such a circumstance by endowing them with irresistible cuteness early on, and by ensuring that parents bond with children sufficiently strongly that our cave-dwelling ancestors didn’t push their offspring out in a snowbank when they misbehaved. Much as parents love their children and have their best interests at heart, however, they don’t always like them. That guy at the office who everyone thinks is a jerk was a kid once upon a time, and there’s a pretty good chance that his parents also noticed that he could be a jerk. They just weren’t allowed to say so.</div>

Of course, Ayelet Waldman’s blasphemy was not admitting that her kids were less than completely wonderful, only that she loved her husband more than them. This falls into the category of thou-shalt-have-no-other-gods-before-me. As with many religious crimes, judgment is not applied evenly across the sexes. Mothers must devote themselves to their children above anyone or anything else, but many wives would be offended if their husbands said, “You’re pretty great, but my love for you will never hold a candle to the love I have for John Junior.”</div>

Mothers are also holy in a way that fathers are not expected to be. Mothers live in a clean, cheerful world filled with primary colors and children’s songs, and they don’t think about sex. A father could admit to desiring his wife without seeming like a distracted parent, but society is not as willing to cut Ms. Waldman that same slack. It is unseemly for a mother to enjoy pleasures that don’t involve her children.</div>

There are doubtless benefits that come from elevating parenthood to the status of a religion, but there are obvious pitfalls as well. Parents who do not feel free to express their feelings honestly are less likely to resolve problems at home. Children who are raised to believe that they are the center of the universe have a tough time when their special status erodes as they approach adulthood.

In the 21st century, most Americans marry for love. We choose partners who we hope will be our soulmates for life. When children come along, we believe that we can press pause on the soulmate narrative, because parenthood has become our new priority and religion. We raise our children as best we can, and we know that we have succeeded if they leave us, going out into the world to find partners and have children of their own. Once our gods have left us, we try to pick up the pieces of our long neglected marriages and find new purpose. Is it surprising that divorce rates are rising fastest for <span style="color: #168dd9; font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; cursor: pointer; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">new empty nesters</span></span>? Perhaps it is time that we gave the parenthood religion a second thought.</div>

Photographer and mother Jaime Moore searched high and low for creative inspiration to take photos of her 5-year-old daughter Emma but found most of the ideas were how to dress your little girl like a Disney princess. It got her thinking about some real women for her daughter to look up to, whether that be a pilot, a doctor, or even an astronaut.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Introverts and extraverts may seem the same on the surface, but if you look at the way <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">they respond to life’s everyday occurrences</span></span>, differences begin to emerge.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Last month, for example, <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Science of Us</span></span> writer Melissa Dahl reported on findings from psychologist Brian Little’s latest book on personality science, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being</span></span></em>, which showed that introverts are better off avoiding caffeine before a big meeting or important event.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Little cites the theory of extraversion by Hans Eysenck and research by William Revelle of Northwestern University, explaining that introverts and extraverts naturally differ when it comes to their alertness and responsiveness to a given environment. A substance or scene that overstimulates the central nervous system of an introvert (which doesn’t take much) might cause him or her to feel overwhelmed and exhausted, rather than excited and engaged.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In her <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">2012 TED Talk</span></span> titled “The Power of Introverts,” author Susan Cain reiterated this point in her definition of introversion, explaining that the trait is “different from being shy.”</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“Shyness is about fear of social judgment,” Cain said. “Introversion is more about how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. So extraverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched on and their most capable when they are in quieter, more low-key environments.”</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Now it goes without saying that most of our societal constructs cater to the former — from open office spaces to loud bars to the structure of our educational system — despite the fact that anywhere from one-third to half of the population has an introverted temperament.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
While a person’s introverted or extraverted tendencies fall within a spectrum — there is no such thing as a pure introvert or pure extravert, <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">according to famous Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung</span></span> — an introvert is most obvious and vulnerable when he or she is in an overstimulating environment.</div>

“We hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the<span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">culture of personality</span></span>,” said Cain in her TED Talk. “We had evolved from an agricultural economy to a world of big business, and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities, and instead of working alongside people they’ve known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers.”</div>

The resulting crowd, which is often loud, noisy and congested, easily overstimulates introverts and drains them of their physical energy. They end up feeling more physically isolated than supported by their surroundings, and would rather be anywhere but that sea of people.</div>

While most extraverts are energized by such interactions, introverts often feel<span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">intimidated, bored or exhausted</span></span> by them. It’s not uncommon in large conversations for introverts to take on the role of the quiet listener and then take time alone once it’s complete. As <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Sophia Dembling</span></span>, the author of <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Introvert’s Way: Living A Quiet Life In A Noisy World</em>, explains in her book, it ultimately comes down to how a person receives (or doesn’t receive) energy from his or her surroundings. Instead, introverts prefer deeper conversations, oftentimes about philosophical ideas.</div>

“At least half of people who <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">speak for a living</span></span> are introverted in nature,” according to Jennifer B. Kahnweiler, Ph.D, a certified speaking professional, executive coach and author of <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Quiet Influence: The Introvert’s Guide to Making a Difference</em>. They simply play to their strengths, and prepare extensively. In fact, some of the <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">most successful performers</span></span> are introverts. Remaining on a stage, removed from a massive audience, proves far easier than the small talk-filled conversations that follow.</div>

If you’re looking to destroy an introverted person’s attention span, just put them in a situation where they feel overstimulated. Due to increased sensitivity to their surroundings, introverts struggle with feeling distracted and sometimes overwhelmed in large crowds and open office spaces.</div>

However, when they are in peace and quiet, they have no issue tending to a favorite hobby or delving into a new book for hours.

Introverts naturally prefer spending time alone or in a small group, delving deeply into one task at a time and taking their time when it comes to making decisions and solving problems. Therefore, they fare better in work environments that allow them to do all of these things. Certain professions — including <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">writers,</span></span> <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">in-the-field natural scientists and behind-the-scenes tech workers</span></span> — can give introverts the intellectual stimulation they crave without the distracting environment they dislike.</div>

Introverts not only feel physically uncomfortable in crowded places, but also do their best to <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">mediate that discomfort</span></span> by hanging as close to the periphery as possible. Whether it be by an exit, at the back of a concert hall, or an aisle row on an airplane, they <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">avoid being surrounded by people</span></span> on all sides, according to Dembling.</div>

This habit of introverts is often what earns them their reputations as listeners. It is second nature to them to take their time before opening their mouths, <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">reflecting internally</span></span>, instead of thinking out loud (which is more common among extraverts). They may seem more quiet and shy because of this behavior, but it just means that when they do speak, the words they share have that much more thought — and sometimes power — behind them.</div>

A <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">2013 study</span></span> published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that extraverts and introverts process experiences through the brain’s “reward” centers quite differently. While extraverts often sense a feel-good rush of dopamine related to their surroundings, introverts tend to not experience such a shift. In fact, people who are naturally introverted do not process rewards from external factors as strongly as extraverts do.</div>

Most introverts screen their phone calls — even from their friends — for several reasons. The <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">intrusive ringing</span></span> forces them to abandon focus on a current project or thought and reassign it to something unexpected. Plus, most phone conversations require a certain level of small talk that introverts avoid. Instead, introverts may let calls go to voicemail so they can return them when they have the proper energy and attention to dedicate to the conversation.</div>

Every introvert has a limit when it comes to stimulation. HuffPost blogger <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Kate Bartolotta</span></span> explains it well when she writes, “Think of each of us as having a cup of energy available. For introverts, most social interactions take a little out of that cup instead of filling it the way it does for extroverts. Most of us like it. We’re happy to give, and love to see you. When the cup is empty though, we need some time to refuel.”</div>

“Face everything and rise.” Good advice, but how do we do that when we feel incapable? Well, I recently discovered an effective tool that we can rely on whenever anxiety comes for a visit. And I just can’t describe how grateful I am for that discovery!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
For over ten years I’ve been suffering from general and social anxiety. People who don’t know me well would be surprised to hear that, since I became a master of hiding my feelings. But when I found myself in certain social situations and could not hide those feelings anymore, they would erupt and turn into<span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">panic attack</span></span> episodes, which caused me a tremendous amount of suffering.</div>

From the outside, one could say my life was as good as it could be. I have supportive parents, a loving girlfriend, a good, steady job, and a house. Unfortunately, my only brother and I are not in touch, but I guess this can happen in the best of families.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I became a prisoner of my own anxiety. My fear generated physical and emotions symptoms, which generated more fear; it felt like an endless cycle. The weight on my back was so heavy that, despite accepting life, I had lost faith in it.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
After trying several types of treatments, I finally discovered meditation and then went on a ten-day Vipassana retreat. I decided to do this for a few reasons:</div>
<ul style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc inside none;">Evidence shows that this technique has helped prisoners, and I guessed that they had even bigger issues than me. At the start of the retreat, during an introductory event, they showed a movie about how the Indian government introduced Vipassana in jails due to its tremendously effective results.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc inside none;">The retreat was donation based, so I knew that no one was taking advantage of my weakness.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc inside none;">Deep inside, I knew that I was the person who could best help me. I wanted to learn about myself and understand what was bothering me so much. And the best way of learning, in this case and in general, is by experiencing</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In Vipassana, you learn how to disconnect from the outside world and to connect to your inner world—to experience your sensations and understand that, either good or bad, they will eventually pass. You learn how to become the observer rather than the participant, so you stop reacting to sensations and, therefore, learn to relax.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Why sensations? Because everything we experience in life through our six senses—sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and the thinking mind—causes different types of sensations in our bodies, which we automatically label as “good” or “bad.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
For example, hearing the birds singing in the morning will cause good sensations. On the other hand, hearing the barking of angry dogs would probably cause bad sensations. And those sensations instinctively generate a reaction—one of craving and clinging (we don’t want the beautiful melody to end) or aversion and hatred (we wish that the scary barking would stop).</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We fall in the trap of getting attached to the sensations, and over and over generate a reaction. Reactions of all types: fear, anger, sadness, judging, dependency on things or other people, hurting. All those bring us suffering.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And here’s where Vipassana can help us. The whole technique is built on three types of meditation:</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
1. Anapana (observing respiration)</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Observe the sensations in the nostrils area; breathe in and breathe out. Soft or strong, short or long, calm or agitated—it doesn’t matter, and we don’t need to control it; just observe it and let it be the way it is moment by moment.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It’s been said that respiration is the bridge between our bodies and mind, the path to our unconscious mind. By observing it, we can reach its deepest levels and <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">turn agitation into calmness</span></span>.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Use Anapana as your shield against anxiety! It works. It allows you to consciously take a breath when you drown in the sea of anxiety, and you can do it anytime you need it. Bring your mind back to focus and calm it down!</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
2. Vipassana (observing sensations from head to feet and vice versa)</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Once we are trained to observe our respiration, we are ready to start observing other areas of our bodies. So we start from the head and go down to the feet, through every single part of the body. Side by side and eventually also from feet to head.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Sensation will vary from part to part; they can be soft or strong, good or bad. But whatever they are, the common thing between them is that they will arise and then eventually pass. By understanding that, we can stop reacting to the sensations, keep our focus, and become the observer. We learn that through experiencing.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
3. Metta (wishing the end of suffering to every living creature)</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When we reach the point of inner peace, we become ready to share this peace, love, and harmony with everyone around us.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
—</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
No doubt, Vipassana was the biggest present I could give myself, and it’s changing my life. I feel I have been reborn. The benefits are not just limited to the way I deal with anxiety now. It’s actually way more than that.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As a result:</div>
<ul style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc inside none;">I have gained the ability to <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">focus more on the present</span></span>, and less on the past or future. As a result, I enjoy more of what I’m doing at every single moment.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc inside none;">I’m more accepting and tolerant of others, with no judgment. I’ve started donating and volunteering. I understand love better and am much better able to show it to my dearest ones.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc inside none;">I’m more efficient, able to make choices quickly and stick with them (in work and life in general). I’m learning to enjoy but not to get attached.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
My parents told me the other day that I’ve started to smile with my eyes again, something I used to do when I was a kid. True, the heavy weight on my back has now become much lighter. I’ve regained my faith in life!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Vipassana is universal, courses are offered in most countries, and it has no connection to any religion. It’s pure science of mind and matter, so everyone, from any background, can do it!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The best tip I could give to those of you interested in practicing Vipassana would be to contact <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">the closest Vipassana (taught by S.N Goenka) center in your country</span></span> and register to a ten-day course so you can learn the technique properly, under the best conditions.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Those conditions include the best guidance, a supportive environment, and minimal distractions, all necessary to achieve results. And results will come if you are open to working and embracing this wonderful experience. You might have just made a life-changing discovery too!</div>

<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">“You can find peace amidst the storms that threaten you.” ~Joseph B. Wirthlin</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Does your mind ever feel like a tornado of whirling thoughts?</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And when that happens, do you wish for inner peace?</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Well, not too long ago, after I quit my corporate job, I was stuck in that exact position. I realized that the degrees I earned and the jobs I chose made me miserable.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
My inner chatter became unbearable, and my self-sabotaging, pestering thoughts sparked <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">anxiety attacks</span></span>, jitters, and nightmares. That forced me to go into therapy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But even after a year of professional help, I felt so much despair that I thought I wouldn’t be able to survive it. My whole life lost meaning.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I was clinically depressed and needed chemicals to cut through the fog. I couldn’t even enjoy the activities I once loved.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The chemicals gave me jitters, so I tried deep breathing techniques, guided meditation, positive affirmations, and vision boards. Eventually, I found what worked for me.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The more I practiced what worked, the more comfortable I became with all my worries. No, my problems did not disappear, but I gained inner resolve and tenacity to become comfortable with the discomfort.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I’m proud of the efforts I made to ease my acute emotional distress. While no easy shortcuts or magic potions exist, I found fantastic fixes and mental techniques along the way. They helped me deal with my sadness, regret, anger, and any horrible memory that bubbled up.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
To maintain my state of mind, I continue to practice the tactics and also stay open to any new ones.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Of course, nobody can embody an enduring state of peace for 24/7, 365 days a year. But these days, the tactics I continue to practice allow me to choose peace whenever distress bubbles back to the surface.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you’re in the midst of an emotional tornado, the suggestions and fixes below should help you on your journey to peace.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
1. Accept that you’re both ordinary and unique.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You’re an ordinary person walking a unique path. Accepting this can make you feel less alone, be more competitive in a non-destructive way, and eliminate self-pitying thoughts.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Accept that you’re an ordinary person with only twenty-four hours a day who has to somehow find meaning in the mundaneness of life. Accepting that you’re common will make you feel less alone.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But also accept that nobody is walking your unique path. You wake up every morning with you, your traits, circumstances, choices, and history. Accepting that you’re unique will make you want to achieve, be creative, and develop in a healthy way. You will aim to learn and grow rather than act from a place of fear, envy, or a pressing need to outperform.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you accept that you’re both ordinary and unique, you’ll stop comparing yourself to somebody else’s highlight reel, you’ll aim to become the best version of your ordinary-unique self, and you’ll thereby move through life peacefully.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
2. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When you feel anxious, your thoughts jump around like frantic grasshoppers, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop overthinking.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This is an <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">uncomfortable feeling</span></span>, but if you practice getting comfortable with this feeling, it won’t consume your cognitive space. If you push it away, your discomfort will only continue to grow, as will the anxiety.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Practice by surrendering to that uncomfortable feeling and feeling it through every inch of yourself.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you feel tears come, don’t fight them. Your tears release stress hormones such as cortisol, so cry if you must.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Avoid getting overwhelmed by placing one hand on your chest and the other on your belly and feeling yourself breathe. Sit up and feel your feet on the ground as you inhale through your nose. Hold for five seconds and exhale through your mouth.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You’re now fully integrated with that uncomfortable feeling instead of panicking about how to make it go away.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Repeat the deep breathing exercise as often as you can. Don’t be fooled by how simple and boring it sounds; this is an extremely powerful calming technique.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
3. Practice staying in the now.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Most emotional distress stems from reliving your past or panicking about the future. It’s either regret or fear. That’s why if you practice staying in the now, you will learn to let go of the past and future, and just bring your awareness to the peaceful present.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Even if you can do it just for one moment, you will experience one peaceful moment. If you practice bringing your awareness to the present moment, you will realize you have control over your peace. You will recognize the calming effect it has on your state of being, even in the midst of chaos and crisis, and even if it is for a few seconds.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You might practice staying in the now in the following ways:</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Sit outside, and pick a leaf on a tree.</em> Try keeping your focus on that leaf for a full five minutes. When your attention wanders, gently bring it back to the leaf.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Pick an object (let’s say your coffee mug), and wonder.</em> Where was it made? Who made it? Was it handmade? Try and figure out the history of that coffee mug (even if you have to make it up).</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Look up at the night sky, and visualize your worries whooshing past you to sit inside a star.</em> Now watch them burn up inside each giant ball of dust and gas. With all your worries gone, bring your awareness back to the present moment — you looking up at the night sky.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
4. Get to know yourself.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
To achieve inner peace, you must get to know yourself on a deep level. Getting to know yourself will help you make choices more aligned with who you are and want to be.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
One way to get to know yourself is through journaling.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Just fifteen minutes per day of journaling will help you get to know yourself by recording your thoughts, beliefs, and inner conflicts. Better yet, you don’t have to worry about what you’ll write.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When you write, just keep going with the flow of your tangent thoughts, private thoughts, and inappropriate thoughts unfit for public viewing. Nobody will see these words but you! The point of journaling is to just get stuff out — the story you keep telling yourself, a careworn complaint, a horrible memory.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When I first started journaling, I wrote everything that popped into my mind. I found myself saying things I didn’t really mean about people who hardly knew me, about wanting to engage in activities I never really thought I would want to engage in, and kept going without judging myself. I was also able to release much of the anger, pain, guilt, shame and embarrassment I stored and in doing so, I freed myself.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
One thing to remember is that writing about it doesn’t make it any more real than it is inside your head. The idea is to clear your mind and become aware of your thoughts you’re thinking and the emotional clutter. Remember to relax, be free, loosen up, feel the raw emotion, release it constructively, and do it daily.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The best part about journaling is that you don’t have to win anybody’s approval or permission to feel the way you do.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
5. Stop seeking approval.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you want to adopt a peaceful mindset, don’t try to make others like you or approve of you. Take actions to meet the ideals you set for yourself, and to meet your goals, but let go of your need to be liked.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you live to impress others—to win their love, support, approval—you’ll go down a road filled with anxiety and emotional pain.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
A need for approval triggers self-defeating thoughts of self-doubt and self-blame. Hello, emotional distress.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I struggled to let go of my <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">need for approval</span></span>, but when I eventually did, I felt a big wave of peace wash over me. I was able to say goodbye to many disempowering thoughts.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
You Can Give Yourself the Gift of Peace</h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There is, of course, no antidote to take it all away, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">forever</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I still struggle with my anxiety sometimes, but because I used these techniques and visualizations, when my mind is a tornado, it’s much easier to quell it now. As the famous adage goes, “Practice makes perfect,” so I continue to do just that.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Your issues might (and probably will) still come back at times, even after months of journaling, looking at leaves, and breathing techniques. You’ll still experience moments of distress from time to time, even if it’s the minor mundane kind at the grocery store when you’re contemplating on whether to buy tomatoes or not.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
However, by practicing these techniques, you’ll build an arsenal of coping tools to find your peace. Your peace itself will be indestructible. No emotional tornado will ever destroy it.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Your peace will be tornado-proof.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">“This is the root of Self. You are not your thoughts; you are aware of your thoughts. You are not your emotions; you feel your emotions…. You are the conscious being who is aware that you are aware of all these inner and outer things.” ~Michael Singer</strong></div>

I sat across from my colleague with a growing sense of discomfort. I had accepted an assignment from the boss, but I heard from my colleague an undercurrent of questioning and uncertainty—or so it seemed. It was so subtle that I couldn’t quite tell what was going on.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Did she not believe I could do it? Nobody else was stepping forward to meet the need. Was she saying it’s better to go with nobody than with me?</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
All I knew for sure was that I wasn’t hearing this outright. I decided to let it go, head on home, think about it tomorrow, and be fully present with my family instead. But the next morning as I pulled into my parking spot in front of the office, a subtle agitation rumbled in my stomach.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I walked into the quiet building and set my things down in the office, distracted by my disquiet and wishing I could focus on my task list. The thoughts prickling at me wouldn’t let go.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I laid my pen down and asked myself, “Okay, what’s going on?”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In my top drawer I keep a deck of “grok” cards that I bought from the folks at the Center for Nonviolent Communication. Each one has the name of a need or value—things like “hope,” “trust,” and “balance” show up in this deck. I frequently use these when I can’t quite put a finger on what’s bothering me.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I flipped through the cards and sorted them as I went. In the “not now” pile went cards like “freedom,” “competence,” and “creativity.” In the next pile, the “Maybe?” pile, went cards like “security,” “meaning/purpose,” and “friendship.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">I went on sorting between just these two piles until I hit one that resonated: “Acknowledgement.” That went into a new pile: “Yes.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
A couple of cards after it I found “Appreciation.” That went into the “Yes” pile too, and then I noticed something really interesting happen: I got angry.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Usually when I sort through these cards, the experience of finding the right word to put on my current needs or values results in feeling more settled, more clear. Frequently my agitation will be replaced by a sense of gratitude, or courage to act in a way that helps me meet my needs.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Typically, that is the value for me in identifying my needs. It helps me find a more straightforward and effective path toward getting those needs met. But it didn’t happen this time.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Instead, the voice in my head just became louder and more insistent.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">My coworker should be grateful for my willingness to take on this new project! She wasn’t going to step in and do anything. Why wasn’t she acknowledging that I was making a sacrifice on behalf of the team?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This narrative swept me up. It threatened to pull me under.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Slowly, I started to notice another, quieter voice saying, “Why am I getting so upset? That doesn’t usually happen after I go through the GROK cards. What can I do for myself that won’t be so negative?”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I’m going to admit this was an odd experience for me. I don’t typically have this second, quieter voice. Or, if I’ve had it, I haven’t been able to hear it.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But I did hear it this time, and it called to mind Michael Singer’s book, <em style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3fa9f5; text-decoration: none;">The Untethered Soul</em><span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">. I read it just about a month before.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">“You are not the voice of the mind,” he wrote. “You are the one that hears it.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
He suggests that when we’re bothered by something, we can change what we identify with. Rather than identifying with all of those thoughts and feelings, we can instead identify ourselves as “the observer” or witness of what is being experienced.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As I felt myself getting swept up in defensiveness against my coworker, I decided to try it. What would happen, I wondered? I started up a new voice in my head that said, “I am not all of these thoughts and feelings. I am the observer who is noticing that Amy is having a powerful experience.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It was almost meditation, but not quite the same as my usual practice. Michael Singer might say I was doing it wrong. A psychiatrist might have a lot of questions for me—I don’t know.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
What I do know is what happened inside myself. As I identified myself as “the observer who is noticing that Amy is having a powerful experience,” I relaxed. I let go of the waves of negative thinking.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I realized that I could talk to myself the way I would talk to a dear friend who is feeling unacknowledged and underappreciated. I realized I could give myself compassion.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">I imagined telling myself, “I’m sorry you haven’t been appreciated. That’s hard. You are still okay.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I admit I feel extra vulnerable as I type that out. Part of me doesn’t want to admit that I talk to myself in this way. On the other hand, this was such an amazing experience!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I was able to walk myself through processing my own needs and emotions in ways I’ve never done before. As soon as it happened, I wanted to shout it out to the rest of the world, “Hey, I’ve found a path that looks like it leads somewhere good! Come check it out!”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Do you ever feel the emotional undertow of unpleasant, uncomfortable feelings? Have you tried to resist them without success? Perhaps it would help to identify yourself as the observer.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Accept that the feelings and thoughts are there, but instead of identifying with them, try identifying yourself as the observer or witness who is noticing that this experience is flowing through.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Perhaps you already know this part of the path. Have you tried a practice like this? What works for you?</div>

Do you meditate?</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I do. I come from a Buddhist family, and meditation is like an heirloom to me.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I didn’t start meditating until I was an adult. But when I did, I meditated diligently. From forming a<span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">meditation habit</span></span> to getting the latest meditation app, I’ve done it all.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And one day I got a little worried.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I didn’t feel much difference. I didn’t <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">feel calm</span></span> and peaceful like I was supposed to feel.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In fact, I didn’t feel anything.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Nothing has changed. I was still the irritable, depressed person that I was. Meditation felt like a waste of time.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Later, I was shocked to discover how many mistakes I was making.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I want you to avoid these mistakes so that you can meditate efficiently without wasting your time as well.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
1. You don’t embrace distractions.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I used to hate distraction. I’d use earplugs, lock my door, and yell at everybody to shut up before I meditated.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
By all means, minimize distraction. But realize no matter what you do, something’s going to bother you. If you’re like me, you become more irritated each time you get distracted or interrupted. This is counterproductive.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The whole point of meditation is to observe distractions as they occur, and not to be carried away by them. Embracing distraction is part of the practice. When you do, you’ll feel much more laid back, and everything else will fall into place.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
2. You only meditate with external aids.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When meditation was popularized, meditation apps, meditation music, and guided meditation also became a fad.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
These external aids direct your thoughts and get you relaxed and concentrated. If you have difficulty meditating traditionally, they’re certainly viable alternatives.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
However, a big part of meditation is facing your inner thoughts on your own. This cultivates insight and wisdom. If your thoughts are being guided externally, you’ll miss out on an opportunity to self-realization.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you want your practice to be well-rounded, you should devote some time to meditate with only your mind and body, even if you do enjoy using apps or guided meditations.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
3. You seek escape in meditation.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I used to abuse meditation to suppress my strong <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">negative feelings</span></span>. As long as I concentrated only on my breath, I could stop myself from thinking about my problems.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But then I learned that focus isn’t a hammer of suppression; it’s a ray of light. The light of your meditative awareness will bring up your problems in the form of thoughts. It’s your job to face and neutralize them in the process.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When strong feelings emerge, put your awareness on those feelings before returning to your focus. Otherwise, you would be suppressing your emotions to the detriment of your mental health.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Observe the feeling, let it grow, and it’ll naturally dissolve.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
4. You’re doing the wrong meditation for your body type.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you feel physically or mentally uncomfortable while meditating, you may be doing the wrong meditation.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I have a slight nose condition. Sometimes I wouldn’t be able to breathe comfortably through my nose. At those times, meditation became torturous because I would strain my tracheal muscle badly afterward. I decided to drop breathing meditation soon after.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Meditation is not a battle. Fighting discomfort is neither healthy nor helpful. There’s no reason why meditation shouldn’t be comfortable. Stop doing your current meditation if you’re in a similar situation.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
5. You don’t try out other types of meditation.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
No one meditation technique is superior to one another. For example, most of us meditate to <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">cultivate mindfulness</span></span>. Breathing is not the only way to do so. Many meditation techniques can achieve the same purpose.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There are mantra meditations, visualization meditations, walking meditations, contemplation meditations, as well as various schools of Vipassana meditations for you to choose from.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
After I dropped breathing meditation, I tried many other techniques and finally settled on mantra meditation. It felt much more natural to me.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Learn different techniques from credible teachers. Try out the ones that appeal to you.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you’re already content with your current meditation, great. But remember you always have the option to explore different meditations. Maybe you’ll find one that you love even more.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
6. You don’t stick with one meditation technique for long enough.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
While you should explore different techniques, avoid switching around all the time.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you do, you wouldn’t be familiar enough with a technique, and there won’t be enough time for its benefits to come to fruition.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Practice a technique until you know it inside out before you determine whether you should move on or not.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The exception here is that if a meditation clearly makes you physically or mentally uncomfortable, you should stop right away.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
7. You have unrealistic goals.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I used to meditate to reach “enlightenment.” Needless to say, I didn’t get there.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And I thought it would make me at least a tad calmer, or give me some obvious health benefits. I didn’t get both.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I was expecting too much. And it drove me crazy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Don’t expect too much, and don’t expect anything too soon. Meditation is not the magic cure that could banish all your stress and turn you into an enlightened being in just a few days, months, or even years.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Remember, the masters meditated day and night for decades to reach where they are.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Unrealistic expectations prevent you from focusing on your practice. When you have high expectations, you focus on results instead of the process. This is counterproductive, as it takes away the present moment awareness that meditation offers.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Whenever I find myself expecting, I remind myself that I’m not trying to get anything from meditation. As I do so, the practice becomes much more enjoyable. And in the end, by releasing my expectations, meditation does make me more peaceful.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
8. You never learned how to meditate.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you don’t study meditation thoroughly, you won’t be able to discover your own mistakes. And if you continue your practice with these mistakes, you’ll waste your precious time at best and injure yourself mentally or physically at worst.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Read a wide variety of books on meditation, watch videos and listen to lectures by different teachers, join a meditation forum online or social group in person. Expand your knowledge constantly. Use that knowledge to improve your practice regularly.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you can afford it, it’s best to learn from a trustworthy and reputable teacher. A good teacher will not only guide you through advanced meditations safely, they will also help you save a lot of time and avoid most mistakes from the outset.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Guidance from a teacher is necessary if you’re interested in meditations using mantras or visualization. Some of these meditations are potentially dangerous to your mental health.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Until you can get a teacher or become knowledgeable enough, stick with basic meditations. Avoid visualizations, contemplations, and esoteric mantras you don’t understand.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
Meditation Has Never Felt So Good</h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Now that you know what to avoid in meditation, you’ll able to make much more progress than I have in a much shorter time.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
With this knowledge in mind, identify your mistakes and correct them.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Then meditation will no longer feel like a chore. You’ll actually want to sit down and meditate. Not because you think you should, but because it feels so good. And you can be assured that no matter what happens during the session, you’ll remain peaceful, calm, and happy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Yes, it is possible.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
So get to work, and let a whole new journey begin.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Anxiety happens when you try to think what you need to feel.” ~Unknown</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Anxiety results from unfelt feelings. I battled anxiety for years because I was scared to admit that I was scared. When I felt a wave of anxiety, I would harden myself like a concrete pillar and refuse to be moved. I thought this made me strong, but it halted my emotional progress.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I didn’t have anxiety until my last <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">major breakup</span></span> four years ago. I was ashamed to consider myself weak, so I hid the pain in the back of my mind like skeletons in a closest.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When I ignored the skeletons knocking on my door, they turned into ghosts. And when the ghosts howled in the night, I’d pretend it was the wind through the trees. I had many clever responses to anxiety, but I always remained unchanged and unmoved.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When Michelle entered my life, all of the invisible forces I had battled turned into a human being. And I began to love her.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Michelle was too beautiful to hide from and too sweet to rationally be afraid of. She was also the first woman I had gotten to know well since my last big breakup.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We played volleyball together, we hiked, and we went out with friends. She loved how I challenged her to think for herself, and I loved the opportunity to practice what I preach. We spent a ton of time together.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Before I knew it, Michelle became dear to me. She even helped me overcome my anxiety.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
The Transformation</h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Last night Michelle and I expressed strong feelings about our growing friendship. It was extremely vulnerable for me because I had spent the last four years single and focusing on the relationship with myself. But it was something I’d secretly hoped for.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When I relaxed into bed after our three-hour conversation, I felt that dreaded wall of anxiety. Every emotion surrounding my failed relationships hit me like a ton of bricks, and suddenly I had fear about falling in love with my friend.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
My first thoughts were “Oh s*&$! Why am I feeling like this?!”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I bolted upright and wanted to run. I wanted to do anything but acknowledge my feelings. But I realized that I couldn’t be afraid of this sweet girl, and I couldn’t regret being close with her.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
So I did something different.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I sat with my feelings and identified them. I was <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">scared</em>. And instead of becoming consumed by anxiety, I repeated aloud that I was scared, almost like a mantra.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And I wept.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I wept for fifteen minutes and transformed that wave of anxiety into a fully felt feeling.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As I cried, I felt okay to be scared. I thought of the way my other relationships ended, and how hard I have worked to build lasting love. I allowed myself to experience the grief of former heartaches, and the uncertainty of new love.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In the tears I felt an active transformation. I was healed through my emotions.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Instead of giving into fear, I felt grateful for the opportunity to put into practice all the things I had learned about relationships. And I felt confident in being able to make mistakes on the road to unconditional love. Acknowledging and experiencing my true emotions made all the difference.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I used anxiety to heal myself.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you’ve <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">battled anxiety</span></span>, there may be important emotions you haven’t allowed yourself to feel. Here are five tips to help you heal.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
1. Identify the feeling of anxiety.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Anxiety is a powerful signal feeling for deeper and more specific feelings such as anger, sadness, jealousy, and embarrassment. Identifying the feeling is the first step to letting it go. Brain scans actually show that verbalizing negative emotions calms the brain’s emotion center and helps us release those feelings.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
So, as I did, ask yourself, “Why am I feeling like this? What’s really bothering me?”</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
2. Stand your ground.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The feeling of anxiety can make you want to run away mentally and physically. I shot straight up in my bed and was prepared to get up and move, but then I made the important decision to sit with the feeling.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I repeated the question “Why am I feeling like this?” until I had a concrete answer. I was really, really scared. And when I recognized the cause of anxiety, I felt empowered to sit with the feeling—to stand my ground.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You can too.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
3. Repeat your feelings.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Aloud, preferably. Hearing your own voice declaring the reality of your emotions is empowering like nothing else. Since anxiety feeds on silence and the unknown, declare your feelings aloud to dissolve it.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This step will give you the courage to be vulnerable, and to fully experience the emotion that needs to be felt.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
4. Hold yourself.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Since <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">being vulnerable</span></span> takes so much courage, you need all the encouragement you can get. Holding yourself is the best way to show that you’re in it for the long haul—that you’ll be by your side no matter what. It will give you the strength to fully open up to your emotional experience.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Retreat to a quiet space and hold yourself. Rock yourself. Tap your chest gently and repeat your feelings aloud.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
5. Let the emotion flow through your body.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
After all these steps you’ll be ready to experience and release the emotions that weighed on your spirit.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Repressed emotions are actually toxic to your body. And when you leave them inside, they stagnate and promote sickness of your entire being. So let the emotions flow.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Emotion comes from the Latin root “Emovere,” which means to move through.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You may feel your stomach clench and your chest heave. This is your body finally processing unfelt feelings and moving them outside through your tears. Allow the physical process to take course. Assist it. And feel gratitude wash over you along with the tears.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In many cases, simply feeling your feelings is enough to let them go. Other times, your emotions may point you toward an unmet need. For example, if you recognize anger underneath your anxiety, you may need to set firmer boundaries. In this way, anxiety can be a gift, since it helps you recognize what you need to do to take good care of yourself.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">—</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The feeling of anxiety, once confronted with courage, helps you to reconnect with feelings that need to be felt. By standing your ground and experiencing your root emotions, anxiety will help you grow into the courageous and balanced person you were born to be.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Feel the pain</span></span>. Feel the sorrow. Feel the grief. Whatever feeling it is, let yourself move through it and learn from it so you can let it go.</div>

<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">“People aren’t always going to be there for you. That’s why you need to learn to handle things on your own.” ~Unknown</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Anxiety is a box around your mind. It’s the cage in which your deepest worries start to pace, then walk, and gain momentum until they’re out of control.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Once these worries and scenarios take off and hit the walls of this box, they’re trapped, and tension starts building.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It can be an exhausting cycle of stress that you might think you have to face alone if you want to avoid opening yourself up to pity or rejection.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You may think others will judge or stereotype you if they know about your struggle. Or, you might worry that if they <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">do</em> know, they’ll assume you’re either looking for attention or not doing enough to function like everyone else.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Here’s the kicker: You don’t <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">have</em> to function like everyone else. When you struggle with anxiety, just functioning is something to be proud of.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The absence of another’s approval or input when progressing can make you feel like you’re not making improvement at all. It’s <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">hard</em> to pull yourself out of an anxiety attack or downturn of emotions, and it can<span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">feel lonely</span></span> when you think you can’t call on anyone, but there are times when self-reliance is your only option.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Yes, this may happen. It happened to me, and it was my worst-case scenario realized.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I lost people who I called on too many times for help, and I know I frustrated people by making unhealthy choices solely because I was anxious about the alternative options.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I felt like a burden on the very people I would help in any way I could, if the situation were reversed.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Relating to friends became a game of how normal I could act. It’s an extremely difficult way to live.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Although it can be helpful to open up to someone who can support you, sometimes you need to admit to yourself that, in this moment, you must do it alone.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Here are a few things that have helped me <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">cope with my anxiety</span></span> and the disappointments in my relationships.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
1. Recognize that some people won’t be able to be there for you.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I started out the summer in a close group of my four best friends and ended it with a completely new social group and a long drive to a different country.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It’s not easy to let go of friends you thought were going to be in your life forever, but it’s often necessary.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Knowing when to separate is something I struggle with. I constantly think of what I could still have in my life if I had made different choices. But I know I made the right decision for myself. The best friends I look to now understand my struggles and uplift me instead of bringing me down.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When you grow, the people you surround yourself with may change, but this is the best part of the process. As you meet new people and gain new interests, you’ll find individuals that you’ll connect with on a deeper level than you would simply based on who was in close proximity.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Allow people to have a temporary presence in your life, and stop weighing yourself down with worry about whether that’s the right choice.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Trying to maintain relationships that are exhausting or stressful, just because you don’t want to be lonely, will prevent you from finding relationships that provide the support you need.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
2. Forgive yourself.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Often. Until you’re sure you’ve forgiven every mistake you’ve made and will make in this learning process.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I often ruminate on possible mistakes I made until they become these catastrophically negative ideas about how others may see me.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Learning to <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">let go of the past</span></span> and forgive all of these small slips has had a huge impact on how I am able to deal with daily anxiety. There’s enormous power in realizing that all of these small worries really are just that—small—and very few have an impact on the big picture of your life.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There are many things I exaggerated in my mind through the past year that I realize, as I regretfully look back, weren’t worth the time I lost being happy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Yes, I made mistakes.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I did things to follow the crowd and swallowed my opinions because I felt too anxious to speak my mind. I held my feelings inside because I worried about upsetting people, and as a result, jeopardized relationships with my family. I jeopardized my health for a few party nights. I called in sick to work because I couldn’t imagine working in such an anxious state.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I forgave myself for it all.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Forgiving myself isn’t a way to shirk responsibility for the apologies I should give, but when you’re on your own journey, you can’t depend on others to give you the absolution you’re seeking.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you give yourself love, compassion, forgiveness, and support, it will be easier to cope when others don’t offer you these things.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 23.296px; margin: 1em 0px 0.8em;">
3. Practice gratitude.</h4>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“Interrupt anxiety with gratitude.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This quote has helped me more than any counselor or antidepressant has in the past.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Anxiety causes the scenarios in my mind to become disaster scenes within moments. I might be thinking about an interview or an event I have to attend, or even simply a friend I have to meet, and instantaneously become worried sick about what could go wrong.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Once again, starting small helped me work through my daily anxiety without another’s support.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It really is about the little things in life<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
At first, I was <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">grateful for</span></span> the fact that the tap water I used to wash my hands wasn’t freezing cold on a winter day. I was grateful for my tea still being hot when I got to school. I was grateful that my hair wasn’t frizzy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But soon, it grew into more than that. It became “I’m grateful I have an interview to go to because it’s the possibility of a job.” It was “I’m grateful that I have an event to go to because it means people want me to be there,” and, “I’m glad I have to meet this person because I enjoy their mindset.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It healed “I’m worried you don’t love me” into “I’m so grateful that you are in my life.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Gratitude for the present moment allows anxiety to fall to the wayside. You choose to honor the positive possibilities rather than obsess over the chance of a negative outcome.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
—</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Through all of the trials anxiety will put you through, remember that your journey is your own. Yes, it’s helpful to have support, and we all deserve it. But you can choose to help yourself whether others do or not. So do it. Function. Happily. Independently. And confidently on your own terms.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“I feel sorry for you when they become teenagers.” “Dude, you’re surrounded by women.” “What did you do to deserve that?”</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Being a dad of four daughters (we also have one son), I hear stuff like this almost daily. And honestly, I’m the one who feels sorry for people who think this way.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Having daughters is one of the greatest joys I could imagine. We have a saying at our house that goes like this, “I love you more today than I did yesterday.” Raising girls is a privilege, not a burden.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
I certainly don’t have it all figured out, but I have learned 15 things about raising girls these last 11 years.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">1. She wants to be loved.</strong> More than she wants the stuff you can buy her or the things you can teach her, she wants you to love her. No one else on Earth can assume your role as daddy. Your daughter will let you down, make huge mistakes, and maybe even turn her back to you for a season, but don’t ever let her doubt your love for her. Look her in the eye and tell her you love her. Lots.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">2. You have an influence on her future partner.</strong> Scary thought, but the kind of man you are to her will have a direct impact on who she chooses to marry some day. For years, our third daughter would beg me to marry her when she grew up. I had to explain that I was already married to her amazing mother. If you’re doing it right, she’ll want to marry someone like you one day.</div>
</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">3. Listen to her music.</strong> When my girls are in my car, you’ll be able to catch us rocking out to the following Pandora stations: Taylor Swift, One Direction, Cody Simpson, Kidz Bop Radio, Katy Perry, you get the point. Not stations I’d listen to on my own (with one exception — I love Taylor Swift), but when it lights them up, it lights me up.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">4. She’s watching how you treat her mom.</strong> If you take one thing out of this entire list, make it this. One of the best things you can do for your daughter is to love her mom well. It’s easy to be child-centered. Running from one kid activity to another. But fight for your marriage and make it a priority. The seasons of life when I lose focus on dating Brooke (my wife) are also the same seasons when our children have more issues. I don’t think that’s coincidental. Love your wife, make time to date her, take her on trips, and show your kids that she is a bigger priority than they are.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">5. Don’t shrink back as she grows up.</strong> Our oldest is almost 11, so we haven’t hit the dreaded teenage years, but I say bring them on. Dads who are further down the road than I am regret not being more emotionally engaged with their teenage daughters. It will be awkward for all of us, but I’m leaning right into it. Periods, boyfriends, shaving armpits, Snapchat, whatever it is. My girls won’t know any different than their dad being every bit as engaged when they’re 15 as he was when they were 5. Don’t disappear when their emotions and bodies start changing.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">6. Teach her how to do a real push-up.</strong> I won’t be mistaken for Billy Blanks, but we take health and wellness seriously at our house. My girls aren’t wimps. They know how to do real push-ups. They play sports hard. They think “throwing like a girl” is a compliment, not an insult. They bring it. And more than the physical toughness, we’re raising mentally tough girls. Like their momma. In a world where femininity gets assigned far too often to princess dresses and fairy tales, my girls are tough as nails.</div>

<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: NotoNashkArabic, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 730px; min-width: initial; padding: 0px; width: 630px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">7. Make memories.</strong> A friend once told me that my job is to be the Chief Memory Maker of the house. It’s morbid, but I have 50-60 years left on this Earth, tops. That’s not a ton of time, so I’m going to go hard and create as many memories with my girls as I possibly can. We celebrate big things like a <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">10-year-old trip</span></span>, but we also take the little things seriously. Family movie nights on Friday nights. Big breakfast Saturdays. Hikes after church. It doesn’t have to be expensive or elaborate, but it does have to be intentional. Fill up your daughter’s emotional journal with memories of being with her dad.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">8. Teach her that it’s not about her.</strong> Something amazing happens when we realize that the universe doesn’t spin around us. We’re not modeling it perfectly for our girls, but we’re trying to show them that life is best lived when we give ourselves away. To serve others. To go last. To not always have to be right.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">9. Show up to her events.</strong> As dads of young daughters, most of us are building careers at the same time. So it’s not possible every single time, but make the effort to get to her stuff. Even if it’s not your favorite stuff. I hate the commercial of the dad at the daughter’s dance recital who is watching a football game on his phone. I love a good football game as much as the next guy, but clap as hard for your daughter’s recital as you would on your couch watching sports.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">10. Proximity doesn’t equal presence.</strong> I’m guilty of forgetting this often. The simple fact that you’re there doesn’t mean you’re really there. Especially in an era of constant information and entertainment. Turn your phone off when you get home from work. Or at least put it in another room. Your daughter couldn’t care less about your Twitter feed, your emails, your fantasy football team, or your group texts. She cares about spending time with you. Playing with you. Being with you.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">11. Do her hair and nails.</strong> Brooke does this 99 times out of 100, but I make it a point to tell all my girls that daddy can make a killer ponytail. And I can paint their nails like a champ. Heck, they’ve painted mine on many occasions as well. Show her that a man can be gentle.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">12. Date her.</strong> I wish I could say I do this consistently, but even once every few months is better than not at all. Dating your daughter is critical to showing her how a man should treat a woman. Call me old school, but on my dates with my girls, I open the doors, pay the bills, look them in the eye, and make them feel like a million bucks. This doesn’t have to cost a ton of money. A walk around the block. A short bike ride. A trip to the ice cream store. Doesn’t have to be fancy, but again, it must be intentional.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">13. Her heart is more beautiful than her appearance.</strong> Guess what, dad? It’s your job to tell your daughter, and then remind her a million times, that what’s on the inside of her is what will make her go far in life. The heart is how we talk about it at our house, but it can be her character, her self-worth, her core. Raising girls in this sensual world isn’t easy, but they don’t have to settle for the belief that to be pretty means you must fit into a size zero or show almost every piece of your skin when you walk into a room.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">14. Don’t blink.</strong> <span style="color: #2e7061;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Kenny Chesney was right.</span></span> She calls you daddy. Enjoy that role — it flies by.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">15. Will you forgive me?</strong> I forget 1-14 more than I would like to admit. I’m doing my best. You are too. But when I blow it, when I hurt her feelings, and when my intentions were better than my actions, I’m learning to ask her for forgiveness. Not a simple apology, but a sincere plea for forgiveness. Model being a dad who gets down on her level and admits that you don’t have it all together. She’ll forgive you for that.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”~Anna Quindlen</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“I’m not actually happy,” I heard myself saying.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
They were words I hadn’t yet admitted to myself, but I found myself sharing with a friend and mentor several years ago.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
At the time, I was deeply identified with living a happy life. I was also deeply identified with the views of what you might call a cult, something I’ll explain more in a moment.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I was always working on bettering myself, and I devoted my life to living with purpose. The sentiment I shared with my mentor didn’t fit with the life I thought I had created, and it certainly didn’t fit with the notion of being on the leading edge of consciousness and culture, my organization’s motto.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
He listened without judgment, and then he said this:</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">“This is your life and your spiritual path. It can be anything you want it to be, but it should be joyful.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In that moment I felt liberated, and I realized that I had unconsciously bound myself to a life my mind had created.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I thought all of my hard work and dedication would bring me to some final place of happiness and didn’t realize that happiness is not a future goal to attain. It’s a relationship to ourselves.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood and lonely. In my mid-twenties I found myself at a party with a bunch of people of all ages who appeared joyful and treated each other like family. Over the next few years I became more involved with these people, many of them beautiful, loving people who I still consider friends.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This group was basically a cult, a small gathering of people committed to a spiritual principal.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We would get together and talk about spirituality, the nature of life, consciousness, human development, and culture.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I found myself excited to be so intellectually stimulated, but also intimidated. All of these people seemed so comfortable with themselves. They spoke with intention, and when it was my turn they all gave me their undivided attention.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I found myself in a situation where I was forced to be seen, and in turn I began to see myself.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It would be easy for me to blame the organization, and it’s true that there were things that were not conducive to my growth. Although I enjoyed many of the people, the collective feeling for me was one of judgment.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I felt like my words were being measured each time I spoke so teachers could see how I was growing. While I never felt an insufficiency of <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">kindness</span></span>, I did feel a lack of warmth and love.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">The deeper truth was that I was judging myself. I felt inadequate. I felt like I couldn’t show who I really was because I was terrified of being perceived as less than.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I developed serious anxiety around speaking in groups. I started to shut down. I put pressure on myself to do as much as possible behind the scenes. I felt like there was always so much more I needed to learn and understand before I could add value to the conversation.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Instead of looking inward to discover who I was, I had an idea of who it was I should be. I spent my time striving to maintain that image, and it sucked me dry.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I suddenly woke up to the truth, years in, that I was unhappy. My zest for life was gone.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You might not have had the same cult-like experience, but I’m sure you can relate to the experience of trying to fit it and not feeling good enough.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It’s a burden that we often put on ourselves, one from which we have the power to liberate ourselves.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">I have found that people who want to better themselves have a tendency to never be good enough for themselves, and it leads to deep dissatisfaction in life.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I could say that I lost myself during my time in that organization, but the truth is that I never actually knew who I really was. My time there was part of my journey to discovering myself. I walked away from that group and walked into a path of personal exploration.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I found that the things I felt in the organization, the lack of love and fear of judgment, were things I was struggling with within myself. I didn’t <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">truly love who I was</span></span>, and I was constantly self-judging. The feelings we have in relationship to others are often reflections of our relationship to ourselves.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I have found that those of us most interested in becoming better people are often far too hard on ourselves. We can look at our lives and see that we’ve put in a lot of effort, but we often experience little joy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We have an idea of who we should be, and we’re constantly attempting to live up to that ideal but never seem to make it. When we attempt to do something to prove our worth, it’s never good enough for ourselves.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Being willing to see that we’re being hard on ourselves is the first step in transforming, but it’s really the big leap between seeing it and doing something about it that transforms our lives.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Soon after I realized I was unhappy I discovered breathwork, an active <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">meditation practice</span></span> that opened my heart and showed me what it meant to love myself. For the first time in a long time I felt joy again, and I discovered what it means to be truly happy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I found that I needed to learn to let go, to surrender to my heart and soul instead of continuing to “power through” my life. In addition to my breathwork practice, I started doing more yin and restorative yoga. These tools helped me connect to my body and allowed me to see the truth I had been hiding from.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I found that I was afraid to show who I really was to the world, so I kept trying to change myself into someone I thought would be worthy of acceptance. I was afraid of <span style="color: #3fa9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">being judged</span></span>, afraid of being seen as imperfect. The even deeper truth was that <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">I wasn’t accepting myself.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
All of the pressure I put on myself to be this specific kind of person pushed me further away from loving who I already was.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The only way I could live the life I truly wanted was for me to release what I thought it meant to be happy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Happiness doesn’t come from what we think our lives should be like. True happiness is a deep state of love for ourselves. It comes from awakening to the truth within you, that you are already everything you need to be right now.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When we’re chronically hard on ourselves we’re attempting to be someone other than who we really are. Within the body we find wisdom. We find signs like anxiety, depression, and illness that point to the truth that our systems are being burdened by our minds.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We’re driving ourselves like machines, and we’re suffering greatly because of it. The practice of slowing down and looking inward whenever we find ourselves consumed with who we <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">think</em> we should be gives us the opportunity to surrender.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We have to stop spending so much time trying to be better and see the beauty that is already there. We have to stop striving and start surrendering. We have to begin to acknowledge how incredible we are in this moment, right now, for being exactly as we are, as imperfect as that might be.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.56px; line-height: 23.296px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Remember, this is your life and your spiritual path. It can be anything you want it to be, but it should be joyful.</div>
