Have your parents ever told you that you shouldn’t do something, not because it’s actually bad, but because it doesn’t make them look good? Many of the habits that you were made to think are ‘bad’ can actually be good for you for a number of reasons. So here are a few habits.

Feeling broken?

The feeling of being overwhelmed by work, the feeling when life deals you blow after blow and it doesn’t seem like things will ever get better.

The feeling that you’ll never reach your goals, no matter how hard you try, and that everyone can see and is focused on your faults and failings.

But when all seems hopeless, what can you do to change this? What can you keep in mind so you can keep going and be prepared for when this next happens?

It can be a long, hard road that leads out of dark times, but I promise it will be worth it. The path out can be found.

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Society has always been biased towards early birds. Early birds are often portrayed as go-getters and successful leaders in mainstream media. Night owls, on the other hand, are perceived as lazy and self-indulgent. Despite the countless articles against nocturnal behavior, recent research suggests that being a night owl may have its perks. In this video, we'll be addressing the signs and the benefits of being a night owl.
