Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness that allows a person to access the subconscious mind. Unlike the regular waking state, where our mind is constantly active, hypnosis involves deep relaxation while remaining highly focused. It's a state where consciousness is directed towards specific thoughts, feelings, or memories without being distracted by the outer world.
One of the biggest advantages of journaling is the opportunity for self-reflection. When you put your thoughts on paper, you take the time to organize and analyze them. Often, we are not fully aware of what is truly bothering us until we put it into words. A journal can serve as a mirror, helping us see things from a new perspective and gain clarity.

Emotions: How They Shape Us and Why We Should Learn to Deal with Them
Emotions—how often do we stop to think about their influence on us? I believe that we are often unaware of how much power they hold and what they can do to us when left unprocessed.
Emotions are complex psychophysiological reactions to specific events, experiences, or thoughts. They arise in response to external stimuli (like an unexpected event) or internal thoughts, such as memories or imaginings. An emotion is not simply a feeling but a holistic process that involves physical reactions, mental processes, and behaviors.
Emotions can be categorized into different types, such as:
Positive emotions
Negative emotions
Neutral emotions
