Yesterday’s post wasn’t wholly about coffee. A large part of it was about getting out of your own head. Unless you are a zen master or lack the modern version of consciousness for some other reason, you have tens of thousands of thoughts running through your head all day long. Few of them are actuallyContinue reading “Moving To Action”

Coffee, Clearly.
Coffee. Just yesterday I could not get the thought that I ‘needed’ to stop and buy a cup of coffee out of my head, even though my belly was full, and I had just finished a cup. It is not easy to think clearly about coffee. The mere sight of the word may trigger anContinue reading “Coffee, Clearly.”
Possibilities & Change
It’s possible to change your entire life, today, right now. Oh, and, bonus: that can be done with a very small change.
Old Habits Are Hard To Break
Recently I almost burned my kitchen (possibly house) down by comitting one of the most common mistakes that causes in-home fires: I left an oven mitt near the hot stovetop. The mitt fell off it’s nearby perch, onto the burner, and went up. Luckily I was close by and got it right into the sink.Continue reading “Old Habits Are Hard To Break”
A Little Hunger Won’t Kill You
I’m not even talking about intermittent fasting here, which involves adapting to a longer period of time being hungry. I’m talking about the fact that we have so much food available to us at all times that we, sometimes, can’t even wait for something to heat up, so that we start to snack while dinnerContinue reading “A Little Hunger Won’t Kill You”
The Hard Part of Your Job
Very soon, a computer may be doing your job for you. As Seth points out, there are already computers that can read your x-ray with far more accuracy that any radiologist can. So, does that mean that you shouldn’t become a radiologist, or, that you should quit your job now? No. What it means isContinue reading “The Hard Part of Your Job”
There Is No Final Exam
Blue light, lectins, 5G, organic vs non-gmo, paleo vs vegan, food waste, ketogenic diet, fat loss, fasting, supplements, protein, caffeine, sleep, heart rate variability, blood sugar, hormones, exercise, digestion … … this is not sung to the tune of ‘We didn’t start the fire’, but the list of health topics you might feel pressured toContinue reading “There Is No Final Exam”
Healthy Relationships
Communication in its highest form includes being completely vulnerable. It involves a willingness to tell the other person what you are afraid of, what bothers you, and why. When you put your defenses down first, it opens the door for true growth to occur in your relationships. Healthy relationships are just as important to yourContinue reading “Healthy Relationships”
Define What You Want
When you have your values and goals clearly defined, it becomes much easier to stay focused on them, and not to let anything (or anyone) else to distract you from living in accordance with, and achieving them. You designate time to work on them, you say ‘no’ to other things, and you feel good aboutContinue reading “Define What You Want”
Navigating Your Health Journey
One of the reasons that ‘quick-fix’ diets are tricky is that they often work … at first. If you’re coming from a relatively unhealthy place, say, eating a lot of processed foods and doing little to no exercise, then, of course, just about any healthy diet that you try is going to be a majorContinue reading “Navigating Your Health Journey”
