Health & Happiness
This group of my blog posts (articles) is about health and happiness, including building confidence and resilience, managing daily stresses, regulating emotions, establishing effective relationships, handling criticism, problem-solving and many more.
Health and happiness are crucial aspects of a successful and fulfilling life. They significantly impact our overall well-being, allowing us to live our lives to the fullest, to enjoy our experiences, and to contribute positively to our community. Research has shown that happy people tend to be healthier, while good health can contribute to increased happiness, creating a positive upward spiral.

Social Relationships: The Power of Weak Ties
Strong and weak ties are part of Social Capital Theory, which refers to the advantages, resources and benefits we gain from our relationships and the network of our connections.
Strong social ties are close relationships with people we know well (family, friends, relatives and some colleagues). However, weak social ties are relationships with people we barely know.
Dealing with Dark Triad Dispositions
If you've been a victim of people with DT traits, you may feel that something is wrong with you and that if you were more careful, intelligent, bright, and competent or just did the right things, the situation would be better. You end up feeling like it's all your fault, which can cause guilt, depression, self-loathing or other self-destructive feelings.
