Power of gratitude and how it raises your happiness level
Forbes
Whatever you focus your mind on expands. When you focus on lack, you operate from a position of loss and discontent and experience more lack. You focus on what's missing from your life and fool yourself into thinking more of something or someone will fill the void — but it doesn't. When you focus on abundance, you have more of it. Taking time to underscore your completions and successes creates a deeper sense of fulfillment.

Counselor Magazine
The holiday season is supposed to be overflowing with joy. Most people, however, find themselves dealing with stress and anxiety more than any of the happier emotions.

Distracted by your own thoughts
PsychCentral
Inattention is a staple ADHD symptom, and inattention can occur when you're distracted by something other than the task at hand. When we talk about "distractions," often we think about a distraction as something external — an interesting activity, a loud noise, a person who walks into the room while you're working. It's also possible to get distracted by one's own thoughts, too.

The difference between a psychologist and a counselor: Who can diagnose you?
Yahoo! Lifestyle
The difference between a psychologist vs a counselor is that a psychologist can diagnose mental illnesses, while a counselor can treat them. If you're looking to find out what mental illness you have, it's best to go to a licensed psychologist who has been to graduate school and has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology or something in the psychological field. A counselor, on the other hand, is someone you can see for therapy.

I chose Alcohol and Drug counseling because I thought it would help me get my foot in the door for an opportunity in psychology. I am really interested in the psychological aspect of this field. Last year during my senior year of high school I took a psychology class and really liked it.
