They might just be unavoidable. We all have loves and losses throughout our lives, and not every relationship is meant to last.

- And no, we don't mean in relationships. Today, we're talking about attracting things to you.

We all know that one person that always has to have the last word, loves to scuffle on Facebook and just can't let a discussion go without being the one that was right at the end. Sometimes, that person is us. But is our need to be right the thing that's stopping us from being happy? And even if it makes us feel powerful in the moment, is it really a sign of weakness?

Stress and anxiety are normal parts of life, but many of us are experiencing both more than ever in these hectic times. This week we discuss anxiety from two perspectives and the toll worrying without a purpose can take on the body and spirit.

Why work harder when you can work smarter?

How often do we stay up late at night agonizing over the mistakes we've made, or things others have done to us? Do we really need to carry those things with us all our lives?

Neither of us are licensed counselors, and advise you to seek the help of professionals if you find yourself truly struggling.

So often we find ourselves in a loop of wanting to please others, so much so that we set our own needs aside and struggle to find happiness.
