During some of my more stressful moments in college I was prone to panic attacks. I managed to overcome them with a sort of hypnosis that I just called meditating. During my religious years I would have just prayed, but ultimately prayer, hypnosis, and meditation all feel the same to me...

Swimming is so therapeutic! It's my husband's and my favorite form of exercising for the same reasons. There's nothing like the serenity of floating in a pool with your ears under the surface, just listening to the sound of your own heartbeat.

Nice! Blogs can be tough, but it's important to remember to write what you love and the readers will come. It also helps to research common SEO terms and words to incorporate into your blog so that the posts rank higher in search engines.

This has always helped me! I first discovered the idea of a "mind palace" when I started watching the show "Sherlock." Super fascinating. My mind palace is more of a cosy mind cottage, but to each their own!

I've struggled with my relationship with food my whole life, but lately I've been gradually reassessing how I eat. I've switched to a more plant and protein structured diet with fewer simple carbohydrates and food no longer rules my life! I used to only think about my next meal - now I eat when...

I’m much more productive if I go in spurts of activity. Try breaking the task down into hour chunks with small breaks in between to read, scroll social media, or even just stare out the window.

As the oldest of nine children and the first to marry and move out, it's been tough to find the perfect balance of togetherness and boundaries. It seems like the more I try to establish times to get together, the more time my family demands. I've found that you have to find the balance of...

...quite like unrequited love." ~Charlie Brown What's your favorite comic strip quote?

I love all Celtic music. Gaelic and folk instruments together really remind me of my childhood and calms me down really quickly, which I imagine is good for the soul!

I love this! It definitely puts things into perspective. A good manager and friend just moved on to another job, and while we worked hard and kept our noses to the grindstone, she always made the time fly for me. Everything's bogged down a little now that she's gone, and I wish I'd appreciated...

While money and promotions are amazing and important, your family is most important. While the extra cash from your weekend job may be useful, consider cutting back on it so you can watch your children grow up.
