The Surprising Way a Breakup Can Help Heal Your Heart

Sports are an essential part of many people’s lives, providing a source of physical activity, entertainment, and social interaction. However, with increased physical activity comes the risk of injuries, ranging from a mild sprain to more severe conditions requiring immediate medical attention. In such cases, orthopedic urgent care becomes crucial in managing these injuries efficiently and effectively.

Sara was angry and frustrated when we spoke. “I did everything I was told! I obeyed my parents, teachers, elders in the family, his parents. What did I get in return?? Broken dreams, abuse, shattered hopes, and unfulfilled promises. Getting away from him was almost as bad as living with him! So tell me Doc–Why […]

We often hear that mental health is just as important as physical health, and I feel strongly that supporting positive mental health should begin early in a person’s life.I had a tough time at school, and feel that with better early support I might have been able to function better and perhaps manage my emotional problems more effectively.During my school years, I was a victim of bullying, sexual assault and directed violence. My bullying was particularly bad during my GCSE years, in Years 10 and 11, and resulted in major non-attendance at school.At my lowest point, I was attending school just once or twice per week, which had a huge impact on my confidence and performance.Unfortunately, because I didn’t feel very well supported, I developed a mentality of not trusting or relying on anyone to support me.

We know that ADHD symptoms respond best to a multimodal treatment plan that includes medication plus helpful interventions ranging from mindfulness meditation to exercise to brain training. These complementary supports can help curb symptoms and enhance well-being for many individuals with ADHD.

“’I got saved by the beauty of the world,’ she said to me. And the beauty of the world was honored in the devotion of her attention. Nothing less than the beauty of the world has become more present, more redemptive, for more of us in the encounter with her poetry.” ~Krista Tippett, on interviewing poet Mary Oliver

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, the role of social media in business marketing cannot be overstated. With Twitter being a powerhouse for real-time engagement and brand visibility, it is essential to maintain an active presence on this platform.

The more you are confused by the small, scary feeling you can’t figure out, the worse it gets. And the worse it gets, the more you become convinced that it’s a warning of what is to come. You start to attach thoughts to the feeling, fear stories.The stories, you realize, are illogical.

“You will be presented with lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school called “life.” Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.

As we said in few other articles, playing online games can be meditative and relaxing. In the modern world, we have lots of stress every day.

“The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, personal and family history, belief systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.” ~Eckhart Tolle Growing up in a patriarchal and hierarchical society, I learned to see certain people as superior to me and therefore placed them on pedestals: teachers, authority figures, managers… This behavior transformed me into a quite reserved, almost submissive version of myself, in contrast to my outspoken feminist persona outside of those circles.

For more than 10 years, I ran trail ultramarathons of 35 to 100 miles. I was decent at it, and I loved running those distances. But I’ll tell it straight: Long runs are hard, even if you’re trained for them.Distance runners anticipate difficulties and know to support themselves in any way possible to get to the finish line.

But there’s a curious pattern I have noticed repeating itself over the course of my life: I work hard, I hit my stride, I relish it briefly and then something inevitably shifts. Something that was working stalls and falters. Something that seemed airtight springs a leak. And then life gets thrown into chaos once again. And the process of ‘I will be happy when – ’ continues on. The older I get, the more I’m beginning to suspect that there is no such thing as having it all figured out at the same time.

“In elementary school my parents told me it didn’t matter what I did when I grew up, so long as it made me happy. ‘Happiness is the whole point of life,’ my father said. ‘But it doesn’t always come easy. Your mother loves to help people in need, so she became a psychiatric nurse. I love reading, writing and poetry, so I became an English teacher. We both find happiness in the hard work we do each day.’A few years later when I was in junior high, my sixth-grade homeroom teacher put me in detention for ‘being difficult.’ She went around the classroom and asked each student what they wanted to be when they grew up. When she got to me, I told her I wanted to be happy. She told me I was missing the whole point of the question. I told her she was missing the whole point of life.”That’s an old parable my grandmother recited to me countless times when I was a kid.

In general, police officers exist to keep us safe. They’re supposed to keep the peace, catch the bad guys, and make us feel more secure in our environments.

ADHD symptoms in women and girls aren’t “hidden” or “easy to miss.” They are obvious, persistent, and often quite serious. Why, then, do we continue to disregard or misdiagnose ADHD in girls and women? And why do we more accurately diagnose boys, who get a head start of about four years on treatment?1The reason: ADHD is still viewed from a largely male-centric point of view.

Health insurance is an aspect that ensures individuals and families have access to quality healthcare. With the rising cost of medical care, adequate health insurance coverage can significantly affect one’s financial stability and overall well-being. Most basic health insurance plans cover essential medical services. However, many other health insurance benefits may not be included in a basic plan but can provide essential coverage for specific medical needs. Saint Luke’s Hospital shares these additional health insurance benefits and explores the frontiers of healthcare coverage.

Do you feel like you’re faking it through life – winging it more than others and barely hiding the chaos? Do you feel like you’ve tricked everyone into thinking that you’re a competent, intelligent person? Do you worry that you’ll be exposed someday? If so, you may be experiencing imposter syndrome.“Someone with imposter syndrome feels like a fraud or a phony,” writes Sharon Saline, Psy.D. “You doubt your abilities and successes, believing that your mistakes and moments of imperfection are proof that you’re not an intelligent person.”According to Saline, imposter syndrome, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), social anxiety, and perfectionism – all common among individuals with ADHD – can be traced back to one thing: a core belief of deficiency.Answer these questions to see whether you show signs of imposter syndrome, and to what degree. Find more resources on imposter syndrome at the end of this self-test.The questions in this resource were informed, in part, from the ADDitude article titled “You Are Enough: How to Counteract Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, and RSD” by Sharon Saline, Psy.D., and from research literature on imposter syndrome. 12Time is Up!

In the cosmeceuticals and skincare landscape, the search for effective and innovative anti-aging solutions has spurred the development of cutting-edge stem cell technology, which works to leverage the remarkable abilities of stem cells to optimize and improve skin health through intercellular communication. Stem cells, renowned for their capacity to differentiate into specialized cells or self-repair, play a crucial role in processes such as healing, cell growth, maintenance, and cellular regeneration. However, as we age, a decline in stem cell activity is inevitable and results in a gradual weakening of the skin’s ability to restore itself, so to address this challenge, science-backed skincare has embraced the integration of stem cell serums and treatments.

I went from being a relatively sheltered teenager to a full-grown adult overnight. It was a “perfect” first night in London, and many similar nights would follow – we would go out to beautiful restaurants, ride the weekend bullet train to Paris, dance at clubs that only stayed open until 1 am (because the train station in London closed so early at midnight – quite the “culture shock” for a New Yorker like me), ride triple-decker buses while drunk, watch Shakespeare plays at the Globe, hop on the London Eye to see the whole city from a bird’s-eye view, stay up late talking and laughing in the “study room” after gathering our favorite German cider from the shops, and (quite exciting to my 19-going-on-20-year-old self at the time) even got to watch one of the Harry Potter movies when it first came out and attend the premiere when it occurred in London. Many parts of the trip were a beautiful experience, but the process of studying abroad definitely thrust me straight into adulthood, challenged me to pick up some survival skills at a younger age and develop a sense of independence I otherwise not would have until later in life.The London “gang” created a “buddy system” for a group trip within a trip: a weekend in Paris.
