Eating One Healthy Meal in a Day Transformed My Body in the Long Run
When I was younger, I never cared about what I was eating. Food was a source of pleasure. Eating my emotions away was a daily routine, and french fries and chocolates were an addiction (I could eat an entire plate of fries — I still can).

Who here graduated high school, was expected to go to school, earn their degree and earn a high, stable salary? I’m sure many of us were.

Understanding the Reality
I was sitting in front of my computer, scrolling through social media. Posts after posts, tweets after tweets. Pictures of conventionally attractive and photogenic women bathing in the sun, smiling and enjoying glasses of cocktail. The skies are always blue and the places are always exotic.

Things to Do and Avoid If You Want to Live Longer
Reduce Your Consumption of Processed Foods The transition to more processed foods has been one of the most significant dietary trends in many nations during the last 30 years. Processed foods include more salt, saturated fat, sugar, and fiber than unprocessed foods. More cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer, and diabetes as a result.

The Seven Year Old's Perfect Day. Top Story - January 2022.
"What are you new years resolutions?" That used to be me, popping into your DM's like a fire-cracker, and daring you to tempt me with a dizzying display of your new-years resolution list, fully kitted with task prioritisation and plans for your quarterly follow-ups. You got that down? I expect it in my inbox by Monday.

Manifesting Serenity
Serenity is the state of being at peace, relaxed, and calm. The intention realized is a better way to view a goal rather than through the pressuring guise of a disempowering resolution, that somehow isn't reached. With the intent to restore, and add more serenity into my days, I am focused on doing things I love to alleviate stress, and adding varied meditative or mindful actions into my routine. I am setting aside time for journaling, enjoying music, meditation, and dance therapy. I believe obtaining serenity is one of the best ways to bring restfulness and peace into your life.

Mother Stimulates her Brain at 81-Years-Old
Anyone Can Enjoy Arts & Crafts Arts & Crafts are a creative way to unleash your ideas into reality. Both men and women of all ages enjoy them. My 81-year-old mother is big on crafts. She especially enjoys designing wine bottles. Mom uses a variety of materials for her crafts-paint, clay, beads, rhinestones, jute rope, fabrics, buttons, paper, dry leaves-even nutshells! According to Catherine Carey Levisay, a clinical neuropsychologist, “crafting can keep the brain stimulated because it combines the learning and perfecting of new skills with those that are already mastered.”
