These are some of the questions that may pop for some of you while talking to someone. Opening yourself all out there not only makes you feel vulnerable but scared about safety at times.

World is a lonely place when there is no one to share your hearts out. Communication is very important and integral to all communities. It is not limited humans but for everyone that exists in nature.
It seems nearly impossible. I am absolutely with you when you say this… because it is really tough or even impossible. At the same time, you do not want to say something and regret later.
Anger is an emotion that is characterized by antagonism or a strong feeling of being upset or being annoyed because of something wrong or bad.
Anger can be used as a way to express negative feelings or help in focusing and finding solutions. However, excessive anger can be problematic not only physically but psychologically too.
While some of you can manage anger, others who are “hotheaded” experience anger at a higher intensity than average. It could be due to numerous factors such as — low tolerance toward frustration, genetic or sociocultural.
So here are 3 ways to help you cool your head when angry:
• Relaxation : simple breathing from your diaphragm. Take a deep breath in – hold – release lungs 🫁, you can pair it with visualization of a calming picture. 🖼️ Here is one for you.
• Restructure your Thoughts : when we are feeling something too intense, logic goes out of the window. But if we think logically it sometimes defeats anger. Try reminding yourself that it could be a rough spot here and shift your perspective. 💭

How would your day even go with zero sleep? How do you feel physically and psychologically? Why sleep is given so much importance?
Sleep serves a very important function – recovery. It gives your brain and body time to recover from the stressors. Sleep not only helps with relaxation but also makes you feel more optimistic, alert and stave off diseases. Inside your brain is a peanut-sized structure i.e. Hypothalamus. It consists a group of nerve cells which affects sleep and arousal.
There are 2 basic types of sleep
1. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep – It occurs about 90 minutes after falling asleep.
2. Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep- It has three stages,
Stage 1 is changeover from wakefulness to sleep.
Stage 2 is period of light sleep before deep sleep.
Stage 3 is period of deep sleep that makes you feel rejuvenated.
Sleep pattern keeps changing as we grow older. There is no particular number as to how much or how many hours of sleep makes you feel refreshed. The matter is about the quality of sleep and how many hours of sleep you feel you need. Research has shown that treating sleep problems can reduce depression.
This Sleep Awareness Week 2022 is March 13-19. Sleep well! Sleep tight!
