    What is 7 Cups? I have not heard about it. I looked into some online counseling services but they were far too expensive in my opinion. I'm sorry you had that experience, though.

    Cooking for the ones you love...

    Good day to everyone, Yesterday I got home from work extremely tired and hungry. I don't know about you folks, but I tend to bubble up some rage if I do not eat when I know I need to.

    Proper Sleep Hygiene Changes Everything

    Hi JJ1203, Thank you for your response. And yes! I completely forgot to mention not to read anything too thrilling! I often tell myself "I'll only read one chapter" and will end up reading the whole book! Non-fiction and classic novels are definitely more appropriate. What herbs and supplements...

    Introverts in Jobs for Extroverts

    I have been here before, having to work in retail jobs and customer service positions. It burned me out most of the time and was very difficult for me to work optimally. I found that not working too much and allowing myself some time to rest and do things that I enjoy, like reading and being...

    Best free language learning apps

    In agreement with what most people have posted here, Duolingo is amazing! Its design makes it more of a game, which hugely facilitates the learning process, which can be very intimidating when it comes to foreign languages. I appreciate how it makes one repeat words in order to ace their...

    Deep Meditation

    Hi there! I agree that deep meditation can be extremely impactful and can change the way we feel and think within a very short amount of time. Which is why I rely a lot of meditation apps on my phone for when I need a break. Mindfulness is hard to achieve, but this and yoga, alongside some...

    What Truly Matters

    Hi! I think I have heard this quote in a television show or film and it is very powerful. My interpretation of it is that we are all on the same level despite our social constructs and judgments of ourselves and others and that when we look past them we can truly make peace with the world.

    Mantras for positivity

    Good morning, Was curious if any of you have any mantras you internalize and tell yourselves when faced with anxiety or a difficult situation. I find that it sometimes helps me to repeatedly think "everything is going to be okay", "you're just anxious, it will pass". Little things like that...

    Alternative forms of therapy

    Good day to you all, Was curious about what methods of therapy you would recommend to someone who does not have access to a psychologist - whether financially or because of time. I know there are guided meditation apps and videos on YouTube, and there are now many apps that offer more...

    Finding Happiness in Social Media

    I try to mute my notifications and only check it every once in a while. I do have a mild obsession with Instagram, though. It is very easy for me to get caught up checking out what my favorite celebrities are up to. That - and all the strange slime and neat recipe videos. I think social media is...

Yoga usually helps, but when you're on your daily commute, that's not really an option. Music, however, is...

    Your Go-To Form of Growth

    I think podcasts are great for everyday growth, for they are easily accessible and quicker to absorb than an entire book. I often listen to podcasts during my commute and they can be very reassuring and comforting. Youtube videos and blog newsletters are also a nice way to get a daily fix of...
