Mindset and Maintaining Control
Have you ever wondered how some people keep their cool no matter what happens to them? Life is hard, and we all experience stressful moments. How we react during those moments determines the outcome. Stuff happens during those unexpected moments. While driving our cars, sometimes we get flat tires. Maybe the washer and dryer breaks. Our kids get sick, or we experience traffic jams. We have bad days at work. I have experienced plenty of those moments in my lifetime. Our mindset will cause us to either react or be proactive. My family ancestor Noah Webster defines mindset as a mental attitude or a fixed state of mind.

Overcoming Writer’s Block
Writers block - that intangible mist hangs heavy on your shoulders, descending like a shroud upon the mind and paralyzing the hands, rendering the instruments of your creativity useless. Alas, it feels as though you shall never write another compelling word as long as you may live. Tempting as this narrative may be to buy into, to give into the ego’s constant barrage of insults upon your artistry, it need not be so.

How to Set New Year's Resolutions that Actually Work
Every year, we stand in front of a challenge - to make the best out of every day that we've been given, again. To live as we wish to, to do what we want to, as much as we can, as well as we can, to be as aligned to who we truly are as possible and not to have regrets over who we are - who become, what we do, what we choose to invest our energy in and how we live.

How to Finally Stop Being So Overwhelmed
You wake with a start as that panicky feeling takes hold. All of the things you need to do today, or That One Big Thing that is happening later overwhelm you into a state of paralysis. You’re not sure what job to do first, so you flail around trying to attack multiple things at once, or worse, do nothing.

The Subtle Art Of Saying No
Written By: H M Hines February 4, 2021 Most people, especially people who are part of a marginalized community, have a hard time saying no to others. This is especially so in situations of employment, but also extends to how we use our time outside of work. Whether the question is “Can you pick up an extra shift?” or “Can you chaperone the field trip?” we are stymied and often overcommit ourselves just for fear of confrontation. Sadly, this social conditioning is easily taken advantage of by authority figures, partners, parents, friends, etc. Society definitely gives “certain people” (we know who, let's be honest,) permission to take, while reinforcing that other people are to be taken from.

Becoming a better YOU.
As we get older, we tend to grow and evolve into the people we are meant to be. These changes can happen in various ways. While there are some people who are just stuck in their ways and are afraid of change and growth, most of us will take that step into becoming the best version of ourselves.

Free Tips and Advice - But Is There a Catch?
WHEN I created Budding Writers’ Corner, a community group on Facebook, and Creative Writing for Beginners, a blog, during the last quarter of 2020 to give tips and advice to aspiring creative writers, my family, friends and colleagues expressed curiosity. They hurled various questions at me, including the following:

Getting back into writing during a pandemic
I have had some serious brain fog recently when it comes to writing – like a severe mental block. I know what to do to get out of it, but as of yet, have not had the motivation to do anything about it. Well, I mean apart from now – which is the first step. I’m not going to say I’m an expert, or even particularly skilled at writing, but I am trying desperately to kick start my brain again, which has switched to zombie-mode in the middle of a pandemic.

Find Your Purpose
Everyone in life has a purpose, though finding that purpose can be hard. Even when we know what the purpose is, the road to achieving that purpose can be long, tough and overwhelming. So sometimes we opt for the easy life, getting a job working for someone else, ensure its enough to pay the bills, puts food on the table and maybe an annual family holiday. We don’t want to worry about the poor, human trafficking or person next door. We just want to live. But as humans we are made to be purposeful and if we’re anything less, it just won’t work right. But how do we find our purpose?
