Anxiety Attacks: Real and Present Dangers

When an anxiety attack strikes, finding a ‘safe space’ can provide immediate relief. This can be any environment where you feel secure and comfortable, such as your home, office, or even a quiet corner away from crowds. Many people find that their car works for them. A quiet bathroom also works well if you are in public. Try to get some cold water, but the key is cold and dark. The goal is to minimize external stressors and create a calming environment for yourself.

The Emotional Work of Marriage: Building Strength Through Commitment

Yes, the WORK of marriage. When we first find that special someone, they set our soul on fire, and we feel blissfully whole. We want to capture that love feeling in a bubble and make it last forever. Yet life intrudes, and people change. No one tells us that we are supposed to change. There is no manual for life and love yet we change and learn and grow without realizing it.

Embracing Spring Renewal: The National Day of Prayer, Screen-Free Week, and the Power of Spiritual Pause

The National Day of Prayer

When we first looked up at the skies and felt alone, when we lose our beloved family member, when our hearts have been broken, and when we are traumatized, when we run out of options, and when we are physically in pain, we can pray in our own way. Spirituality is a personal experience and one which is documented as one of the seven protective factors for a deeply fulfilling life.

So today, pray! Pray with song, with dance, with silence, with poetry. Pray with all the beautiful things that remind you of your divine humanity and how much you mean to others and yourself. Self-love is a form of prayer; you deserve to love yourself and be loved for yourself now.
