Magic vs Logic
The idea about the placebo effect has been crossing my mind lately. You know the experiment, when two groups of people are told they've been given the same medicine (or what have you) when really group A was given the actual medicine and group B was given a sugar pill? This was and still is conducted to test the reliability and effectiveness of medication.

What A Day!!!
Have you ever had a day that was so perfect, amazing, and you did not want it to end? Most of us have had those days that we wish we could capture it with one shot, and put it in a frame. Maybe it was your first kiss, first taste of a food that was so delightful you want to savor the taste forever, or if you have seen something that was so beautiful you want to lock it away in your memory forever.

Message from a Fawn at Dawn
Moving from Manhattan to the no-cell-service, summit of a foothill north of Boulder, Colorado was quite a jump. It was a transition from sprinting home at night to make sure no dangerous human was following me, to hurrying up the dog walks in case a mountain lion was watching me. It was sirens and street chatter to deep gusts of mountain winds or the soft falling of snow. It was waking up every morning and looking out the window to my right, to see the same old coffee shop with the same, expansive lines winding around the street corner, versus waking up in the morning, looking to my right, and seeing, well, this - the unexpected.

Sunday Quote Of The Day (Becoming More Productive)
To be productive is to achieve a significant amount of something, or a result. I suppose we need to ask ourselves the question, how productive are we being in our own individual life? Are we creating significant amounts of something worthwhile and beneficial in our life? Are we generating results? There are five things that spring to mind when I think of generating results in life, them being health, happiness, success, prosperity, and our goals. Now you may wonder why I have included health and happiness in this list of achieving results, and the reason being is that if we are maintaining a healthy, active, and fit lifestyle, coupled with feeling satisfied and fulfilled with our lifestyle, and a constant progression in our life, then that is a definite achievement. That is a great result in itself. Good health can only be achieved from maintaining a balanced diet, rich with plenty of vegetables and fruit, along with ongoing daily exercise. Health is not restricted to just diet and exercise though, we also can't dismiss our mental health, which means we need to be ensuring we are making decisions that are in our best interest and wellbeing, and executing the actions that are working towards helping us find happiness, whilst having the mental strength to ward off the stresses and worries that life constantly delivers. Mental health of course links to happiness, and if we want to achieve that result of long term and ongoing happiness, we indeed need to be making decisions and taking action in working towards creating that happiness and satisfaction in our life. Those decisions we make, and actions we take, in regards to both our health and happiness, they come back to how productive we are, how committed we are to looking after ourselves, and prioritizing these two aspects of our life above everything else.

Does Size Matter (for Challenges)?
I’m just 1 person who joins a lot of challenges. And thanks to my blog, I’m setting even more for myself every month. But challenges come in all sorts of sizes. Earlier this month, I discussed small, specific, well-chosen daily goals. I also covered larger, broader dreams turned into goals for bucket lists. What about the sort of challenges that fall in the middle? Some challenges can last a year, a season, a month, a week, or even a day. What are the benefits of large vs. small challenges? Which should you go after?
