Listen- it’s been a tough year and a half. People across the globe have had to completely change up their routines and, at times, kick into ‘survival mode’. You are most certainly not alone if your body does not look or feel the same as it did in March of 2020. But, as we are slowly beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, you may be ready to ease back into your pre-covid routine and re-adopt some of your old habits. Or, you may be ready to see this as the start of a new beginning and make some healthy lifestyle changes. Either way, you’ve already taken the first step; the hardest part is making the decision to make a change, and...

Let me guess, you charge your phone every day, at least once a day, and you always check that you have enough battery on it to make it through… I would say that we are all probably quite good at keeping on top of this. However, how often are you paying attention to your own personal battery levels? What if we thought about ourselves and our own energy levels as much as we think about our phones? Our own energy levels are so important to how we experience things, how we feel day-to-day, and how we cope with and manage our lives. I would suggest, however, that many of us are not giving ourselves the time to recharge our batteries or take stock when we are...

Recent studies have indicated that the gut contributes to our health and well-being in more ways than we ever thought possible. If you are experiencing a decrease in mood, nutrient deficiencies, bloating, and irregular bathroom habits, you may be suffering from poor gut health. Stress The most important thing to recognize is the gut is a stress-depleting system. This means that when we are stressed, the gut suffers! This can result in a variety of symptoms such as gas, bloating, and acid reflux. Probiotics can help support your gut during times of high-stress. If you know there will be a turbulent period ahead, consider taking a probiotic supplement. On top of probiotics, managing stress levels should also be a priority. Bloating Feeling bloated is uncomfortable, and can impact appetite. There...

Guide to Tarot Reading for Mental Health

As someone who has had her fair share of mental health struggles, I know how hard it can be to feel like you can't get in touch with your own emotions, thoughts, or intuition when you have a problem that needs solving. Feeling stuck and helpless in the face of a problem is so discouraging, and it can take an even greater toll on your life than the problem itself would otherwise. This mind-body disconnect can happen to anyone, so if it's happening to you, just know that you're not "weird," and you're not alone. For most people, it's something that ebbs and flows as we go through stages in life, and it's understandably most noticeable when we're facing stressful situations or serious life choices. One unconventional...

If you had told me five years ago that I would love tarot, I would have laughed. I've always been a practical, data-driven person, and to me, tarot was a bit too esoteric and "out there" to be useful. Tarot can indeed be an intensely spiritual and even mystical ritual for some people, but it can be so much more than that! In this article, you will discover the world of tarot. Moreover, you will find an answer to the question of "how to read tarot cards for beginners?". Without further ado, let's jump into tarot cards.

Reframing Your New Year’s Resolutions

By now, we've made it safely through the  2022. We still may not be totally sure what our new normal will look like moving forward, but we're all trying our hardest to be our best selves. For many, that effort to do better and be better often comes in the form of New Year's resolutions. Unfortunately, it can be incredibly difficult to stick with your resolutions, no matter how much you want to. This means that, if you've already broken one (or maybe all!) of your resolutions, you're far from alone. In fact, researchers have noted that at least 85 percent of people who made New Year's resolutions have broken them by now. Personally, I've never been a fan of making specific resolutions for New Year's. This...

Sleep hygiene is a term that doctors and wellness experts use to refer to a collection of good nighttime habits that typically lead to better, more restful sleep.   If you suffer from insomnia or other sleep troubles, you've likely read all of the more popular tricks like, "no screens after 9 p.m.," or "only use your bedroom for sleep." I've read dozens of "sleep hygiene" articles, and almost all of them rehash the same tips with one or two new things thrown in.   My goal is always to offer you the best, most useful information possible, so I won't be putting a new spin on old tricks. While my tips aren't totally novel, I don't see them talked about very often, so I think they're worth sharing!   I...

Winter is fast approaching and, as the year comes to a close, I think many of us will be contemplating what this winter will be like, and how we can get through it amidst the continued challenges of Covid. I do have some friends and family that love the winter season, they love to get warm and cozy by the fire, wearing nice, thick winter jumpers and even thicker socks. However, not all of us share this love of the cold season and the dark days that it brings with it, so I thought I could sprinkle a few suggestions out there to try and keep any winter blues away and to keep our wellbeing at the top of the priority list.   Create your own support...
