For us to deal with these painful emotions, we have to remember that, like anything in life, emotions are impermanent- what you feel now is not what you'll feel forever.

If you've never watched the movie and have no idea about what I'm talking about, all you have to know is that this movie personifies our emotions as little characters in our heads.

Every year on March 8th, women and men across the globe are invited to celebrate women's achievements throughout history. It is also a call-to-action where each new year brings a different theme for progress.

Face it, we are all struggling in our own little way. We all are in the middle of a storm. Even if we had just gotten out of one, there is another one waiting to strike. To me, life is all about progression. It's knowing that the person who is waking up this morning is different from the one who woke up the day before.

Intrusive thoughts are those pesky little ideas, images, or voices that pervade your present mind and derails your focus and attention. I can't even count the number of times that I am bothered by my wandering mind.

Last week I was in a funk. This usually happens when I have a lot of down time and little energy. I thrive on being busy and constantly on the move, especially when it has to do with my career.

We’ve all been there. Heated arguments with our boyfriend reminding him that dirty socks belong in the hamper. Yelling at the girl next to you in the study room because she just won't shut up. Flipping the bird to the guy who hopped into your cab after hailing it.

Due to popular request for instant notification to our blog postings and updates to our activities, Empathic created our very own Reader's List. Since it's creation, our list has been growing!

Welcome back from the holidays y'all! I hope you're all feeling relaxed, refreshed and rebooted, ready to take on the new year! January has always been one of my favourite months of the year. It is a representation of a fresh start, new beginnings, and hope for growth.
