Mindfulness
While mindfulness began as a Buddhist concept, it has since been developed as a practice in psychology that has helped numerous people deal with crippling anxiety, depression, drug addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Being mindful is not simply living in the present but a way of concentrating on aspects of the present moment you normally take for granted. Buddhists describe how our brains tend to barrage us with thoughts about the past, the present, and the future constantly. Becoming mindful means to become both aware of the movement of your thoughts and emotions and to become detached from them. This detachment allows you to focus through your true self rather than seeing yourself as thoughts thinking or emotions feeling. Practicing mindfulness meditation is the first step towards becoming mindful throughout every moment of your life.

FASHION
- The distinction between “formal” and “casual” has blurred in this era… Yet, it is still expected that one should show that they’ve put time and thought into their appearance—even if they’re just wearing t-shirt and jeans.
- “Going out of the house dressed properly is still a rule we see being followed today,” says Whittaker. “Wearing the right clothes and maintaining a classy look are things we still see as proper and essential in order to appear presentable, which is why we are still seeing this in play.” (bestlifeonline.com)
