Knowing what gives you energy and what drains it is important.
You need to have an idea of what gives you energy and what drains it. Do not feel guilty if you spend time doing something that gives you energy. And do not beat yourself up if the only thing you have time to do during the day is something that drains your energy. Keep a list of things that give you energy and things that drain your energy so when you get the time to decide what you want to do in your free time you can easily make an energizing choice

How Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives
As a man who lived during two world wars, the Communist takeover, and the NATO bombs of 1999, Elder Thaddeus was one of the most renowned spiritual guides of Serbia during the twentieth century who, despite the suffering he and many others suffered, was a man who focused his ministry around selfless love. Despite all Elder Thaddeus had gone through, he had taught, counseled, and prayed for anyone who came to him in sorrow or in pain. Now, at this moment in time, the knowledge of this man makes me step back and question: how many people today would do the same?

Mindfulness Isn't Always Relaxing
Savasana, or "Corpse pose," is the final resting pose at the end of a yoga class. You lay on your back in stillness for 5-10 minutes. People generally fall into two camps when it comes to savasana: You love it, or you hate it. And up until recently, I admittedly stood squarely in the "I hate it" camp.

COVID-19 & Mindfulness — 3 things I learnt . Top Story - July 2022.
I came into close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 this past week and soon tested positive myself. There is a lot of fear instilled when it comes to COVID-19 and I found myself panic; I have to continue my studies for the summer semester, I have a job I need to continue doing well, I need to find time to help around the house and if I am sick then how will I be able to handle everything.

I nearly died at the hands of my own Doctors
If I could count the number of Doctors I have seen I would be a rich man. My BPD caused me to attach to the doctor I have been seeing and although she made mistake after mistake, she was kind and gentle and genuinely cared about me. In June last year, I had a shock diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease brought on by the years of psychiatric medication I had been on. Life got very tough, very quickly. I started to go downhill quite fast and every time I would see my neurologist he would increase one of the meds I was on and I would just get worse and worse, to the point where I struggled to walk or drink anything without spilling it everywhere. I also started to fall over, in the months from August to June I had fallen 34 times, requiring stitches in my head and was covered in bruises. I and my family all put it down to the Parkinsons' getting worse which was a huge concern for my future. So I had two doctors in the picture, one prescribing Lithium for my mental health and one for my Parkinson's Disease. I was taking around 15 tablets a day at that stage. Around the beginning of April, I started getting very forgetful and confused about things like what day it was and whether I had been to appointments or not. I also started to hallucinate about people appearing out of the corner of my eye and when I would turn they would disappear. I told both of my doctors about all these symptoms and they seemed unperturbed. I also started to lose my eyesight slowly, it became difficult to read anything even with my glasses on, I struggled to read emails and text messages and even went and got stronger glasses which didn't help at all. I didn't understand what was going on, I was so confused and my mind was so jumbled up that everything seemed like some sort of strange dream that I was stuck in. I was forgetting to shower, sometimes for a week at a time, thinking I had had one yesterday and my self-care just went out the window. I continued taking the medication hoping to god it would help in some way.

Then land a job that aligns with the way you want your life.
