Who is your "Person"?
It's important to recognize that you cannot go through life as easily on your own. My name is Elizabeth and I'm a survivor of child abuse and horrific trauma. Healing from trauma is not a quick fix and recognizing that it will take time, is part of the struggle.

What Happens To Your Brain When You Stop Multitasking
Digital technology is the culprit that is causing us to doom scroll when tired, disengaged and unmotivated with the content that motivated you to log onto your device to consume in the first place. That is only the beginning. In the modern workplace (and even when filing cabinets were around, I confirmed this with my adopted parents to get my facts right); reading files while you are supposed to be present to the caller on the other end of the phone line is another classic example of multitasking that causes your brain (although adaptable and intelligent) to lose focus and concentration.

Learn to Be Alone...
We often find that people are told to stop making 'X, Y and Z' their personality. Well, this only arose in the social media age as especially women's interests: reading, dramas, art etc. was heavily criticised as being 'useless'. It is historically well-documented that though many men require the work of women, whether it be through unpaid labour or entertainment, they also refuse to acknowledge it is important. This is why since it has been something of recognition, they have been complaining of a 'loneliness epidemic' now that women are withholding access.

The BAFTA Awards
By now, in a stunning departure from recent years, most of the world is aware of what happened at the BAFTA film awards.

“How to Spot a Liar in 3 Questions (Without Them Knowing)”
Most lies don’t collapse because someone finds evidence. They collapse because the person telling them gets tired. Lying is not just about saying something untrue. It’s about maintaining a story. And maintaining a false story requires effort. The brain has to create details, track what was said, avoid contradictions, and manage emotions — all at the same time. That mental pressure is where truth begins to leak out. But here’s something important: this article is not about turning you into a human lie detector. It’s about awareness. It’s about understanding behavior so you can protect yourself without becoming paranoid. Because the goal isn’t to catch people. The goal is clarity.

Unplug
I am one of those people that unplugs items around the house when I go on a trip. I do it because I want to protect and keep the things I find valuable, from anything happening to them, in the even of a power surge or some other king of natural event that would cause a power outage, or surge. My computer is number one on my list. I use it for my writing and I can’t afford to lose my work. Preservation of high value items is wise, I believe. I’m probable not the only one who does this. So if we protect our “things” like this, why aren’t we protecting our most valuable thing in life, our mental health?
