How Nature Can Make You Kinder, Happier, and More Creative
I've been a devoted explorer my entire life. Yet, despite the fact that I've generally accepted that climbing in nature had numerous mental advantages, I've never had a lot of science to uphold me… up to this point, that is. Researchers are starting to discover proof that being in nature significantly affects our minds and our conduct, assisting us with decreasing uneasiness, agonizing, and stress, and increment our consideration limit, inventiveness, and our capacity to associate with others.

Round and Round Til it Falls Down
I am another someone who bursts with intense enthusiasm, and can get swept away in matching the energy of the chaotic do’s and have to’s of daily living. I have grown accustomed to over-extending that energy, either working harder than I have to, or giving to others without realizing my tank is empty. I realize that it comes from the conditioning that we are all unlearning as we find our ways existing in an internet driven capitalistic society, with various identities that come with more strenuous or more privileged socioeconomic stature. With a silly and forgiving awareness to this as I unlearn and balance, I am often looking forward to the time that I create more space for myself in my daily meditations of the mornings and evenings. This is where I initially thought to release those dense layers of hyperactive energy at my belly center that unconsciously sends me into that busy effort and resistance. I have such a frenzied mid-center, however, that sitting down for meditation brings up a lot of squirmy energy that I get stuck on. It made meditating quite invalidating for me, thinking that perhaps I am simply not the sprit that is meant for stillness. I almost caved in to identifying with that revved up energy as a part of me until I stumbled in to the most adorable pre-meditation practice to help blow some matcha powered steam out of my solar plexus.

The Benefits of Back Extension Exercises And How To Do Them
The majority of the time that working adults spend is done by sitting on chairs and working over their computers. If they are not sitting, they are probably hunched over their car seats trying to get past heavy traffic when going to and coming home from work. On average, this amounts to almost ten hours of sitting down. Sitting down for this long may not seem like a serious matter, but research shows that this can harm our health later on.

Is It Good To Sleep Late
With a creating cerebrum, teens need somewhere around eight to ten hours of rest an evening. The average young cerebrum likes to hit the sack late and rest until the following morning, which can be difficult to adapt to.

The Secret Mental Health Benefits of Indoor Plants
It was one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make, but I had no other choice. My kitten was given a new home, and I felt so irresponsible. "A pet is for life!" I heard ringing in the back of my eardrum from the animal rights protest of a school auditorium, a distant memory from old teenage years. I knew the morals of it, really I did. According to the ASPCA around 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year, but my kitten wouldn't be coming with me. Perhaps it was due to my partner's bad credit that I had no choice but to take the first property that I was offered. I would probably never know the exact reason, but in my own mind, it should be illegal to discriminate against tenants with pets. In either case, there was no two ways around it, and I found myself with the predicament of having to choose between keeping my pet and homelessness. I was grateful to say that she went to a good friend of mine, a nurse in fact.

Rolling into Health
Living longer, healthier and happier is at the top of everyone's list these days, including my own. The pandemic lockdowns have left so many of us overweight and unfit like we have never been before. Gyms closed, hiking trails closed, schools closed, and local parks closed, we were left with literally no options for working out other than our own living rooms. Boredom set in early and the snacks flowed as we watched tigers eat husbands and housewives dine in Paris. The only exercise we got was doing fork lifts and fridge walks as we packed on the pounds. We cooked, we drank and we ate our way through 2020.

So Apparently I had a Stroke This Year.
A couple weeks ago, a day after having two MRIs--one on my brain and one on my cervical spine--my phone woke me up at around 11:00 am with a dreaded "no caller ID" call. I consider this "dreaded" because both times I've gotten unexpected wake-up calls from police departments, that is what has shown up on the screen. Hoping against hope, I answered the phone. It was my neurologist. Still groggy from interrupted sleep, I didn't think anything of it. We exchanged the normal pleasantries, and then he got down to the point. He said, "The MRI yesterday shows signs of a stroke on the right side of your brain."
