Keys to a Happier, Healthier Life

  3. Supportive networks of family and friends.

Being good at ‘self regulations,’ i.e. bouncing back from stressful challenges and knowing that things will eventually look up again; choosing healthy behaviors such as physical activity and eating well; and avoiding risky behaviors such as unsafe sex, drinking alcohol to excess, and regularly overeating.

🍎 Health Hack ~ Practice Mindful Eating

Practice Mindful Eating
The practice of mindful and intuitive eating can naturally keep portion sizes balanced and cultivate a healthy relationship with food. Pay close attention to hunger and satiety cues to recognize if the desire to eat is based on boredom, cravings, or real hunger. And when consuming meals, recognize sensations you may experience, including the flavor, smell, and thoughts present during the time.

🖋 Writers’ Wisdom ~ It’s Time to Exercise

by

“Writing is a muscle. Smaller than a hamstring and slightly bigger than a bicep, and it needs to be exercised to get stronger. Think of your words as reps, your paragraphs as sets, your pages as daily workouts. Think of your laptop as a machine like the one at the gym where you open and close your inner thighs in front of everyone, exposing both your insecurities and your genitals. Because that is what writing is all about.”
― Colin Nissan
