“Ignorance is bliss,” they say. And sometimes, it feels true—because having access to every bit of information can keep our minds in a constant state of alarm, exhausting us mentally and physically. Almost everyone around me seems to be experiencing emotional ups and downs, likely as a result of the collective challenges we’ve faced globally. The ability to instantly access all the “catastrophe” scenarios and news isn’t helping our mental health.

A Shampoo, A Coffee, A Plan

By pirden

On the eve of a new year, we all want to leave behind the burdens of the past year. Logically, “new year planning” can bring a sense of clarity and calm to this process.

Fixing What’s Not Broken

By pirden

Accepting Life as It Is and trying to “not fixing”…
Sometimes, I catch myself thinking that everything needs to be better, more polished, or more “right.” Maybe you’ve felt the same way. Acting on this belief, we often touch perfectly fine things and try to change their natural state. But here’s the question: Why do we try to fix something that isn’t broken?

A Personal Growth Perspective: What is Your Reality?

By pirden

Personal growth often begins with acknowledging your current reality. Since I realized that what we focus on becomes our reality… Personal growth starts with this realization. I think I heard this sentence in a movie, or perhaps it was inspired by something a character said. I’m not entirely sure, but it constantly buzzes in my head like a persistent fly (not a pleasant thought—let’s make it a butterfly instead :D). “What you focus on becomes your reality.”
