And How Does That Make You Feel?
One thing I truly enjoy doing at night is a guided meditation. I find it relaxing, soothing and a helpful way to end my day. It is suggested, in a lot of the things I read, that meditation is encouraged in the morning to start one's day. But mediation makes me sleepy so nighttime works …
How to Keep the Vacation Vibe
The problem with going on vacation is that the minute you step on the plane bound for home, you lose your buzz. You're forced, at 500 mph, into your personal laundry list of tasks and to-do's that await you. Bummer. So is there a way, while navigating the necessities of your day to day reality, …

Checking In
Here's a life hack to help you reach your goals. It's called a check-in. It can be weekly, every 2 weeks or even once a month. And all the check-in involves is re-establishing your goals and identifying what you need to do to stay on track. Because I'll tell you, it's so easy to let …
