Yesterday I Rescued A Little Girl
Yesterday I rescued a little girl. She had been caught in a trap she couldn’t escape from, powerless, for 48 years. This five year old child didn’t want to leave her Mum to go to school. She was like many other four and five year olds, since school began. On her way to school each morning she planned how she would escape, what routes to use. She considered kicking the teacher really hard in the shins, biting her arm even. Because this little girl had to be wrenched from her mother every morning. And each time it happened, she didn’t hurt the teacher, because she was a good girl, and knew hurting people was wrong.

Operation Self Reset
What is it that has to be done? A reset of some sort? Years ago there was a time when a mental reset was needed. To wipe the slate clean. Rebuild and receive the new even if it’s a repeat. Cleanse the soul and exchange the weight. Slowly remember the ties that bind. Warning to folks that still connect in present, hoping they do their part to reignite our resemblance.

Depression Does Not Own You..
Depression can take away your ability to enjoy the beauty of life, it feels like a dark cloud follows you every where you go, you have no desire to do fun and productive things. When dealing with the weight of depression you would rather be isolated and not be around people who are in such a good mood. You will develop a bad self-image, which will cause you to have low self-esteem, looking in the mirror will be the hardest thing to do, depression will actually cause you to believe that you are better off not being here. You go to work, school, and do your daily routines with a forced smile, you’ve trained yourself to appear to be ok in front of others. But little do people know, is that you were contemplating suicide the night before.

8 Ways to Ease Your Stress
What is pressure? Stress is the body's response to a test of interest. Everyone experiences pressure, which can be set off by an extent of events, from little everyday issues to massive changes like a detachment or work reduction. The tension response integrates genuine parts such as a raised heartbeat and circulatory strain, contemplations and individual feelings about the disturbing event, and sentiments, including fear and shock. Despite the way that we regularly consider it to be negative, stress can in like manner come from positive changes in your everyday presence, for example, getting a headway at work or having another youngster. For the treatment of youngsters, many patients are suffering from stress in the best addiction treatment center in Lahore.

Fear is Holding you Back from Improving your Mental Health
While mental health topics are being talked about more, it doesn’t make it easier for some to go get help. Listening to someone talk about their journey through their issues is great but others look at it as “they got their life together, why can’t I get mine together?”

Glimpsing freedom
On slow, cosmic days, I find my way out of that cramped, noisy, dirt-shod room filled with ghosts and echoes. Out of the deafening fog churning and churning day and night. Where clocks tick, tick, tick into tomorrow, always tomorrow, at breakneck speed. Back to the door with no lock, no chains, no captives. Back to the spiralling, humming space; where life flows, through light and air, through ever-moving waters. Back to the sweep and curve of the corridors, the stairways, the tunnels. Back to the weight, the mass, the blend, of steel, wood, brick, stone. Back to the cauldrons, the furnaces, the engines, that burn and pulse, that transfigure and transform. Down, deeper, and deeper, deeper down, through dust and dark, breathing in every corner, every crevice, every whip and sting of the place. Passing places long-forgotten, unseen, roughly hewn, old with age and neglect. At times I find my way blocked, confused; a maze of dank and damp, of sharp-edged carapaces, so that I retreat. Other times I find my way with ease, through dark and dust, till I can go no further. Till I see, till I feel, the warm, steady light of that lamp-lit place, deep inside it all. Where the air is clear and crisp, the fire always burning, the view fresh and clear. From here light and air ripple out, flinging open doors and windows, flushing out the dust, the dirt, the cobwebs; guiding the whole, whirring, working thing back together. Bringing back that slow, easy, rhythm of a machine in perfect motion, in perfect harmony. Bringing the whole house, my body, back home.
