    #SelfCare: Coping mechanisms when you're feeling overwhelmed

    #SelfCare: Coping mechanisms when you're feeling overwhelmed

    It’s that time of the year when everything starts to feel overwhelming.

    I’ve always wanted to journal on a daily basis, but the thought of that exhausts me.

    So, instead, I’ve decided to just record my personal coping mechanisms and learnings from over the years! I want to share them, with the hope that it will help others who may not know how to handle these crazy times.

    I’m definitely not trying to be a motivational speaker and I'm definitely not an inspiration to the people around me! I'm just a dude who has been through a lot in life and would like to make a difference in my own way.

    So here's me, just me rambling from wherever I am.

    I really hope it makes even the smallest impact on those who need it 🖤

    The future of wolves and why we need to protect them

    The future of wolves and why we need to protect them

    Wolves are one of the most important animals in the world's ecosystem. They keep deer and elk populations in check, which can benefit many other plant and animal species. The carcasses of their prey also help to redistribute nutrients and provide food for other wildlife species, like grizzly bears and scavengers. An example of their role can be noted in their the documentary, "Wolves saved Yellowstone National Park - The Northern Range".



    I love wolves and I believe they're one of the most undervalued by society. The Apex Protection Foundation is doing incredible work to preserve these beautiful animals.



    Here's why they're being eradicated in Norway.



    🇳🇴 Norwegians Alette & Ink do a podcast named SKRIM - a collection of fascinating Norwegian #TrueCrime stories. My obsession with True Crime and #Norway (known as Norge to Norwegians) led me to their podcast when I was craving both these subjects, so I reached out to them and it led to this intriguing episode. In this episode, we ended up covering a host of really exciting topics that ranged from life in Norway, Norwegian culture, Norwegian and South African music, Norse mythology, Norway's role in the heartbreaking decline in the population of Wolves, #MentalHealth, the power of nature in the struggle against mental health, and more.
