To expand my awareness and increase my knowledge about how our minds work, I’ve recently started reading the book Limitless by best-selling author and the world’s top brain coach, Jim Kwik. Celebrated by many of the world’s most notable leaders, executives, and celebrities (including Tom Bilyeu, Jack Canfield, Quincy Jones, and Continue Reading
With Spring officially starting this week, it got me thinking about the concept of Spring cleaning. Oftentimes, a new season inspires us to clean our homes, re-organize our wardrobes, and even give our beauty routines a refresh. But, lately, I’ve been having deeper thoughts… about life, in general. Sometimes we’re Continue Reading

If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “happiness is an inside job”, it’s true. Happiness is found (or better yet, created) within us, and is not derived from external sources. While we often look outside of ourselves to find happiness, the truth is – we have to choose it, create it, and nurture it. The good […]
If this year has taught us anything, it’s that learning how to establish the right mindset can help us better handle life.

Body positivity and self-love are two phrases you might have been hearing more in recent years. From social media posts to news articles, the topic of accepting, embracing, and loving your body (as it is) has become a growing (and widely-applauded) trend. Whether you’ve criticized yourself for your imperfections, compared your body to Continue Reading
While I’ve always thought of myself as adaptable, the truth is – I’m a creature of habit. I’ve always enjoyed the comfort of my routine, living in the same area (for my entire life), doing the same job (for nearly 20-years), and being comforted by a sense of certainty and predictability. But, over time, I’ve […]

But, this leads us to disappointment, addictive tendencies, and unfulfillment. Beyond our ego’s need to feel special (at least in the eyes of others), one of the biggest Continue Reading
In the garden of life, even the most beautiful roses often have thorns. Since life isn’t always as easy as we’d want it to be, when we choose to have an optimistic outlook, this positive perspective can help us overcome challenging moments. If this year has taught us anything, it’s that circumstances can change in […]
The saying goes, “when one door closes, another one opens”. While we’ve all heard this expression, the truth is – it’s often challenging for many of us to let go of our mental attachments (to the past or the future). However, by learning how to practice the art of non-attachment, we give ourselves the chance Continue Reading
If you’ve ever noticed how relaxed you feel after spending time in nature, then the next best thing to that is gardening. Since many people are unable to escape to a forest or beach right now (due to the quarantine), the good news is, you can still enjoy the meditative benefits of gardening at home. […]
Throughout my health & fitness journey, I’ve come to believe in the importance of the mind-body connection. This epiphany happened several years ago while I was deeply engrossed in a restorative yoga session, which resulted in me crying while doing certain poses (that triggered my deeper emotions about painful experiences I had years prior).
