In today’s society, it is no new occurrence to be diagnosed with a mental illness. It is, however, disheartening to note that so many people who have such mental health conditions struggle, with each passing day to find comfort in themselves, and achieve a state of emotional stability and acceptance. It is a frightening thought being diagnosed with a mental disorder - but it shouldn’t cause you to lose the essence of who you really are.

CBT is a behavior therapy that is based on the cognitive model, which is the way that people perceive a certain event or situation is more closely connected to their own reaction than to the situation that is occurring. CBT stresses on the fact that the client can change the way they think, and they can gain control of their mood. When behavior therapists use CBT for clients over time, improvements and alleviation of symptoms from mental disorders becomes near constant.

As hard as we work, and as busy as we are, it's important to take advantage of nature whenever possible to restore balance to our emotional, mental, and circulatory systems.   

As we go through life, we all hope we can maintain good physical and mental health as long as possible. There is not much pleasure in living a long life if our final years are spent in pain, and we lose our ability to think and remember. As much as we may dread suffering physical pain and illness in old age, many of us fear the possibility that we might lose our mental capacities even more, and end up completely helpless in a nursing home. Often the first hint that our memory is starting to lose its sharpness happens around the fifth decade of life. 

There are two types of people in this world: those who conquer their fears and those who get conquered by their fears. Fear is not anxiety. Fear is an emotional state that exists in the presence of danger and ends once that danger has passed. Anxiety exists when we anticipate a danger or threat, regardless if one is present or not. Fear is an emotion that overrides our intelligence. It stops us from moving toward our goals, and it plays havoc with our quality of life.

Attention management is the ability to control your distraction and maximize your focus, to be present in your moments, engage your flow, and unleash your genius. At its heart, attention management is about learning how to focus your attention, breaking free from all the things you're constantly distracted by or reacting to. Time management is a process by which one consciously keeps track of the amount of time they spend on each of their activities, in an effort to increase efficiency when it comes to usage of time.

Do you feel like you often experience anxiety? Does your heart suddenly start to beat faster? Do you sometimes get dizzy? Then chances are, you are experiencing an anxiety attack. Anxiety is one of the most discussed disorders. Sometimes you hear about someone having anxiety or an anxiety disorder, but you might have a hard time imagining it.

Many health professionals now consider alcoholism to be the largest single medical problem in the US. There may be few outward signs during the early stages of alcoholism.

A narcissist is someone who cares only for themselves, termed after a Greek mythological character, Narcissus. The story goes that he's was so obsessed with himself that he falls in love with his reflection. That is the cornerstone of a narcissistic personality. They are so self-absorbed that they lack the basic human trait of empathy (being able to put themselves into someone else's shoes). Without empathy, you are left with a person who use everyone in their awaken moment as a means for their own pleasure.

Mental health is perhaps one of the most unfortunate terms to still exist in health and healthcare-related professions today. It still carries a massive and completely unwarranted stigma from days past. If people explain what mental health means by referencing specific types of illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, and alcoholism, then there is a much greater chance that the stigma and stereotype associated with mental health will actually get broken down.

Hypersexuality behavior is one of the more common aspects of an individual suffering from bipolar disorder, and causes the individual to continuously look to satisfy his or her sexual appetite.

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to reach your goals and overcome your challenges inside the gym and out. Excellence is one of those words we use too lightly. Almost nothing is perfect. We look at something we like (perhaps a great work of art), and call it excellence. A pitcher throws a perfect game if no one gets on base, but is that truly excellence? Is there such a thing as the perfect wine to go with a meal? Or a perfect pair of shoes to go with an outfit? To me, the answer is no to all of these.

In its simplest and most concise form, emotional intelligence (referred to as EI, or EQ for "emotional quotient") is the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict. This ability also allows us to recognize and understand what other are experiencing emotionally. This recognition and understanding is, for the most part, a nonverbal process that informs thinking, and influences how well you connect with others.
