Are your beliefs helping you to recover?
What Is a Belief?
A belief is something we consider to be a fact. It is anything that we assume to be true. We use our beliefs to understand and navigate this world. We also use our beliefs to keep us safe. That is why we generally try to preserve our beliefs after they are formed and guard them carefully.

‘Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you'…

Close relationships

Is your job making you sick?
Is your job making you sick?
Not in a physical sense, unless your job is manual and hurting your body, I'm thinking about our mindset and how we feel about work.
So what can you do if you feel that you're stressed? What can you do if you feel that your job is not helping you, or actually making you sick?
