There is ongoing Harvard research that links emotional repression, not being assertive, and an inability to say “No” to major causes of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. In other words, “KINDNESS MIGHT BE MAKING YOU SICK”. According to renowned Dr. and author Dr. Gabor Maté, the body operates such that if we suppress our anger, it can quickly become chronic for our bodies. It is therefore advised to practice healthy anger. An example of healthy anger is when someone encroaches on your space, and you assertively say, “Please leave,” instead of going into a rage. …

This week, I will be writing about the importance of planning your exit when you get stuck in unpleasant situations. Sometimes, when we find ourselves in unpleasant situations for long enough, we get ‘uncomfortably’ comfortable and blame everything else but ourselves for our woes.

Well, it is totally non-existent except in our minds. Yes! Everything we are terrified about in our future, …
This is how to be at Peace Amid Life’s Battle

The voice in our head can turn even the most harmless event in our lives into one that causes us stress. When an event is slightly bad, this voice amplifies it. Take for example, someone was rude to you, and you felt bad at the moment. Instead of making a harmless deduction like saying, ‘Maybe this person was in a bad mood, and it has nothing to do with me’ this little …
