Healthy Coping Mechanisms
NOTE: Not all skills help everyone, but they are all worth trying. 1. Therapy Although this may seem obvious, I know of many people who don't believe that it is useful at all, not even just for themselves. It helps to get the emotions out for many people.

Stress, Anxiety, and Suicide
School has started for me this month (which means more stress and anxiety), and with current events continuing to enter our lives, whether we realize it or not, it seems that our reactions to the environment around us could take hold of our thoughts and emotions.

How To Not Hate People.
I was on the bus yesterday, ready to murder the man standing next to me with his mask down by his chin. You’ve found yourself in something similar; consumed by anger at how stupid someone can be. You’ve followed rules your whole life and just can’t help but feel vitriol when you see someone breaking them, as though they are somehow above these rules.

The Anti-Self Care Revolution
Self care seems to be the buzzword of all buzzwords at the moment. And, to be fair, it’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s something that most, if not all, of us need - and probably a lot right now, after the world-upending last 18 months that has been beyond insane for a variety of reasons, the least of which is the Covid-19 pandemic, which I know most of want to see the backside of and never hear the word Covid again (or at least for a very, very long time). When I hear the words self care my immediate thought is: junk food and comfy clothes - more specifically chocolate cake, yoga pants and a baggy t-shirt. But I’ve come to realize that that’s a fantasy, cartoonish version. That’s not really self-care (though, I guess it can be, once in a blue moon - the cake that I mean. The yoga pants and oversized tee? Go to town. I won’t judge.). If nothing else, it’s probably a recipe for self-loathing after eating a giant piece of rich chocolate cake!

Do You Have A Negative Self-Concept?
SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A NEGATIVE SELF-CONCEPT Knowledge Acquisition and the Social Self Social cognition seeks to explain how people perceive themselves and other people. When one understands that cognition is acquiring knowledge, one can then understand the meaning of social cognition. The most straightforward meaning is acquiring knowledge about one's social environment through the impressions formed based on bias and our subjective impressions. Humans function differently in an ever social setting based on the expectations of others as well as their expectations (Bargh &Williams, 2006).

Working Wordsmiths (Series/2)
What is Writing for Wellbeing? Writing for wellbeing is about exploring and expanding knowledge and understanding of our own health and wellness through the power of words. Too often we dismiss or undervalue our everyday thoughts, feelings and experiences. Yet research has shown that reading and writing activities actively promote health and wellbeing. Writing for wellbeing can even help us manage long-term conditions and can help with a range of issues including mild to moderate depression, isolation, dementia, recovery from stroke and other illnesses that impact on individual identity.
