350 years after: D’Artagnan’s possible resting place found
As a child, I was a restless soul, always seeking adventure. I was the instigator and organizer of practically all the large-scale games in the neighborhood where I grew up with 20 boys and only 2 girls. Sometimes I even managed to rally players from the neighboring village, and then our games would become truly epic.

How Daily Gratitude Practice Improves Emotional Well‑Being
Appreciation has been termed as a humble routine yet its effect on the emotional health is much greater than what meets the eye. A gratitude practice can be done daily, which can eventually change the way mind perceives experiences, reduce stress and enhance mental well-being. Gratitude, in a world where individuals are under pressure all the time, where they are being compared and uncertain, is a stabilizing element that helps them to focus back on what is important and present.

How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Helps Reframe Negative Thinking
Negative thinking is not random, in most cases, it is a result of the past experiences, behaviors that have been learnt and beliefs that are firmly ingrained. Criticism, failure or rejection may be internalized and this may later influence the way people perceive daily events. These thoughts in time become automatic i.e. they are automatic and thus they do not require conscious effort to come into play. That is why it is possible to guess the worst even in neutral situations. The first step to effective change of these patterns is to understand the origin of these patterns and to change them in the most effective way by using structured therapeutic practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
