  Meditation is an enjoyable, inspiring way to achieve inner peace and has been part of the human culture for centuries. Guided meditation uses the power of visualization to effect positive, personal changes and reach a state of inner peace - and is the easiest way to meditate. In guided meditation, another person’s voice shapes the meditative experience and helps us to remain focused during the experience. Guided meditation sessions don’t have a set time associated with them. They can be short or long and can be practiced wherever you find yourself. Meditation sessions can help with stress, depression, self-esteem, relaxation, memory, patience, insomnia, and healing.

Journaling is a wellness practice that can help you break the cycle of worry and help diffuse the intensity of a feeling or anxiety.

It is entirely up to you. Maybe you find it hard to start? What should I write about? Fortunately with internet access,...

  Maturity is generally recognized as a combination of age and experience; however, emotional maturity is a different animal. “Emotional maturity is when you do not rely on others to fulfill your needs physically, emotionally, or spiritually,” says licensed clinical psychologist Dara Bushman, PsyD. Being emotionally mature is an important therapeutic goal and it is an important ingredient to living a happy and meaningful life. But what does being emotionally mature mean? One of the founders of the Menninger Clinic in Houston, Texas, Dr. William C. Menninger, defines it as: The ability to deal constructively with reality The capacity to adapt to change A freedom from symptoms produced by tensions and anxieties The capacity to find more satisfaction in giving than receiving The capacity to relate to other people in a consistent manner with mutual satisfaction and helpfulness The capacity to direct one’s instinctive hostile energy into creative and constructive outlets The capacity to...
