Helpful Life Skill: How to Avoid an Ugly Argument

Jacky Exton
Have you ever felt GOOD after an ugly argument? Me neither. Even on the rare (really rare) occasion when I was able to “agree to disagree” with whoever sat on the opposite end of that particular opinion scale, I still felt annoyed. Unhappy. It all felt unfinished… It makes sense because arguments are never based on interest, curiosity or any sense of mutual benefit. Read More...

5 Steps That Will Turn Your Breakup Into a Breakthrough

Maxine Clancy
Have you ever begged someone to stay? Like, literally got on the floor and begged? I did that once after I discovered my husband was having an affair. I didn’t beg straight away. First I was angry. I ranted and raged and then I questioned; “Do you love her? Was she better than me? Is she beautiful?”  I asked all the crazy things that you want to know when your heart has been broken into a million little pieces. Read More...

Trust Interrupted: One Choice You Need to Make After Betrayal

Lesya Li
Trust Interrupted. When someone breaks your trust, betrays you, your first reaction is mild disbelief. Back in 2003, In my first unpublished book, I noted that trust is a precious brick of gold too heavy to place in someones shaking hands… it appeared to be true over the years – I’d give that ‘golden brick of trust’waiting for it to drop, and as all self-fulfilling prophecies = it would come true.

Pay Attention: 5 Thinking Patterns That Don’t Serve You

Olessia Kantor

Here are some such thinking patterns. Read More...

Releasing Resentment: How to Stop Swallowing Poison From the Past

Nadene van der Linden
Although normal, resentment is only useful when occurring in the short term. When it persists in the longer term, simmering under the surface, it becomes toxic for the individual experiencing it and also impacts on others they interact with.

4 Effective Ways to Eliminate Negative Emotions

Marie Nieves
At a certain point, I stopped counting the number of times people told me to “think positively” in order to cope with my sorrows.

How to Speak Out: Why It’s Okay to Not be Okay

Bethany Allen
Through these apps and social media, many of us pretend that our lives are perfect. I’m not innocent either! So many times I have felt pressured to post on my Instagram just to keep up face even though I am having a real rough time.
