The Beauty of Mental Health

Mental Health is something a lot of us take from granted in today's world. We as a society are always told to take care of our physical health, to lose weight and to make sure to workout. However, we are rarely educated on the importance of preserving and taking care of our mental health.

Taking care of one's mental health covers varying degrees and methods. Most notably, is the practice of meditation. Meditation does wonder to help with anxiety and stress. It has been said that people who regularly meditate tend to experience far less negative thoughts and emotions.

Another good mental health practice is positive self-talk. A lot of people feel the weight of other people's criticisms personally and heavily. Oftentimes, people feel like they have all of this weight on them. What they forget is to have positive self-talk. At the end of the day, you have to be your own best friend. Positive self-talk can help to raise a person's self-esteem and self-worth.

Another good practice is working out. It has been shown that working at can actually help to improve a person's self-image and confidence. Working out for even 30 minutes a day can achieve this.

Also, it is good to be able to vent about your frustrations. Oftentimes, people elect to keep their emotions in check. People should be more open to vocalizing their emotions.

Inner peace is something that can be attained through paying attention to one's mental health. Stress and unhappiness are at an all-time high in our society. Depression and anxiety are something that has become more common especially amongst the youth.

Paying attention to mental health can lead to an overall happy life. You can learn to appreciate the little things more and not stress over things that are out of your control.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended.
