We Are Living Energy Beings!
We've all experienced those moments where we suddenly feel sad, angry, or confused for no apparent reason. Why is that so? Well, we are living energy, and as living energy beings, we have a frequency. Yes, frequency. Frequency is defined as the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave. Some of us can display more frequency than others. Being sad or angry is an emotion and what is "emotion?" Emotion is "energy in motion" a wave, vibration, or a frequency. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the frequency you are vibrating out to the world. Chances are, someone is going to feel that frequency. They may even fall victim to it, depending on how strong your frequency is. We are all, literally, walking antennas and can pick up, absorb, and display this "energy in motion." Some can do this stronger than others. Those of us that absorb it more than others will find ourselves constantly changing moods wherever we go.

5 Easy Self-Care Acts
I have seen a lot of self-care posts lately and it got me thinking about how often I actually focus on myself. I realized that with my busy schedule I have been neglecting what matters most: ME. I have also been on a personal journey the past few years to feel more like my authentic self, which has included trying new things and breaking out of my comfort zone.

Maybe many know this and maybe many don't, but sometimes it's the more you eat that determines how much weight you will lose, and what kind of weight you will keep.

How To Reach Your Fitness Goals
Our world is obsessed with image. Everywhere you go there is an astounding exertion of pressure on people to look a certain way, from the people in your favorite bits of media to the everyday advertisements trying to sell you the most banal products; if you don't have washboard abs or a sculpted set of glutes, you are nothing, and you are not worth a single iota of happiness or attention. Apparently, to have any resounding sense of worth to yourself or the society around you, you have to possess the qualities of Barbie and Ken if you want to truly make it anywhere in life.
