As we find ourselves in unprecedented times and stuck inside our houses for an extended period of time I wanted to offer a list of things I've been watching in hopes that it will get you through this very strange time and hopefully keep you from killing your significant other. Enjoy and stay safe and healthy guys!

I wanted to hop on the blog real quick here to write a complimentary piece to one my recent podcast episodes where I give some book recommendations. I know for myself, it's nice sometimes to have a visual component to go along with the content I cover on the podcast. So here we go!

Guys, first off thank you so so much for your kind words and responses to my most recent posts where I opened up about my anxiety. It means so much and continues to prove that we're not alone in our struggles, so again, thank you. Now, I'm excited to continue to share things I'm passionate about, whether it be film, television, art, food or books. So I return you to your regularly scheduled 'Reality by Rach' programming with a roundup of some upcoming movies and shows I'm looking forward to. Hope you enjoy! And, as always, thanks for getting your 'dose of reality'.

In my final post in my series on tackling anxiety I wanted to open up about my experience with therapy. So let me back up a little here. After losing both my parents within a few years of one another I didn't realize all the feelings I was harboring and that were bubbling beneath the surface not being dealt with. And to be honest it took me a long time to even come around to the idea of therapy. Honestly, the stigma around it made me feel like going meant that something was 'wrong' with me. But now, thankfully, I know that's not the case and want to encourage those who are on the fence about going to therapy to do so.

Mornings can be tough to get a handle on especially if you're not a morning person, like myself! But one realization I've made over the past few years is how vital a morning routine is to helping with my anxiety as it sets the tone for the rest of my day!

So I wanted to take some time out and share a few things that I do to get the day started off on the right foot and hope you find some of this helpful!

One of the things I've been working on over the past few years is finding ways to cope with my anxiety. Honestly, I've probably always been a little anxious, even as a kid. But that definitely got worse after dealing with some traumatic events in my life.

After a year or two of just kind of sitting with this feeling or drowning it out by over boozing at social outings or burying myself in work I wanted to find a healthier way to cope.

Something I've wanted to address on the blog for a while now are a lot of the myths and some of the truths surrounding Millennials. And while I'm more at the tail end of this demographic, being in my almost mid-thirties, I felt the need to speak up and shine a light on some of the things we're doing right but also call us out and talk about some of things we're doing very, very wrong.
