“Good” Morning
When you roll out of bed in the morning what is the first thing you think about? How are you priming your mind and body for the day? Does your nervous system get a stress hormone cocktail due to the sound of your alarm, waking up late, or simply thinking of all of the...
Time for a Tune-up?
Words like tenacity, discipline, grit, and motivation get thrown around a lot as the end-all for accomplishment and achievement. Don't believe the hype. Those things are great but are like nitric oxide for your car they can give a boost for short periods of time but...
Out of Space
My phone keeps telling me I need to delete data or remove an app to make space for another app or download. I have a habit of downloading something on my phone, forgetting it is there, and it eats up my phone memory (yes I know there is this thing called a cloud now)....
