 “Calmness is the cradle of power.” ―Josiah Gilbert Holland  Stress is unavoidable and it is not possible to eliminate it from our lives entirely. Life is full of challenges, and a life without some turmoil is not only impossible but is also undesirable. The hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands of modern life have made stress so commonplace that it has become a way of life for many people. In small doses, stress can help people perform under pressure and motivate them to do their best. But it is not desirable to constantly be in an emergency mode as the mind and body would have to ultimately pay the price. Stress is a normal physical response to events that make us feel threatened or upset our balance in some way. When a threat is perceived, our nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and Cortisol. These hormones rouse the body for emergency action. As a result, our heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rise...

  “Depression, for me, has been a couple of different things – but the first time I felt it, I felt helpless, hopeless, and things I had never felt before. I lost myself and my will to live.” — Ginger Zee Depression is a medical condition in which a person feels very sad and anxious. It is not only a state of being sad, but also a disease that overcomes the capability to feel good or bad. This condition can be passed down through genes or due to certain depressive events occurring in life. Chemical imbalance occurs in the brain. Compared to men, women are more likely to undergo depression. However, depressed men are more likely to commit suicide compared to women because men are expected to control their emotions due to their social roles. They cannot openly express their depressive feelings in society. Systemic depression is a low level of depression that lasts for couple of years. Another type of depression is bipolar/manic depression. This type of depression has different sympto...

  “Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” —Arthur Somers Roche Anxiety is so common that we all have either suffered through or had friends who did at some point. I am one to always say that having an anxious moment sucks because it’s just not fun when those feelings take over – yet even though being overwhelmed by them feels like defeat doesn’t mean anything will come out of this battle for us psychologically speaking as long as enough action has been taken against these distressing thoughts before they get any worse! The most common form of this problem comes in the shape of panic attacks, where humans feel their heart and breathing rate increase for no apparent reason. It can be so maddening that it leaves us feeling discouraged, helpless, or tiring with nothing to look forward to but another attack coming on like waves crashing against our shoreline; only to leave destruction beh...

Defining the term ‘legal profession’ is more difficult than one may anticipate. It becomes apparent that the simplest definition is perhaps the most befitting. The legal profession is a ‘vocation that is based on expertise in the law and in its applications.’ Those who pursue these ‘vocations’ collectively form a ‘body of individuals who are qualified to practice law in particular jurisdictions. The learned occupation of these individuals is to study, promote, uphold and enforce the collection of rules imposed by the authority. They thus form a ‘legal profession.’ The Legal Profession has always been an important limb for administration of justice. Without, profession of law, the courts would not be in a position to administer and provide justice efficiently as the evidence in support or against the parties to a suit cannot be legitimately marshalled, facts cannot be properly articulated and the appropriate legal arguments in favour or against the case of the parties cannot be put fort...
