written by Samantha Proctor We’ve made it two weeks into 2019. How’s your resolution going? If you’re anything like me, you’re still at it, but each day is such a struggle. Who actually likes going to the gym? One thing that has definitely helped me is seeing everyone’s journey on social media. I get to see my friends working hard, …
Mornings are difficult. Not only are you trying to hold on to every minute under your covers, but you’re also preparing for a productive day. Your mornings ultimately set that day’s mood. When they’re rushed, you feel flustered all day; when they’re easy and calm, you tend to find yourself more productive. But somewhere in the mixture of calm mornings …
We know…gyms are intimidating. Even the ones with slogans about judgement-free zones don’t settle well with most people. However, we cannot ignore the importance of personal health and fitness. Every year, there’s a new/repeating goal to change and take care of our bodies but these often fall through. It’s important when you begin your fitness journey to also consider a …

Whether it’s drinking more water, adding a few vegetables to your diet, exercising, or completely changing what you eat. Despite what your 2019 health resolution is, you need to gain …
Life is just busy right now.

Unfortunately, these objects don’t exist so we’re forced to live like mere mortals and instill boundaries between work and life during …
Do you feel like you’re forgetting something? Maybe it was an ingredient in the dish you just brought to the office Christmas party or you’re not sure you put the correct name on a gift at home. Or maybe it’s just the holiday season tapping on your shoulder, distracting you from the responsibilities of work. This time of year is …

We learned in “The Science Behind Giving Back,” how our brains react to doing good works.
