When you hear the ding of a message on your phone, do you immediately get up to answer it? Do you take your phone with you to the grocery, the neighbor’s house, the bathroom? When you’re in a room full of people (in line at the DMV, doctor’s waiting rooms, any large gathering), is every neck tilted down staring into the glow of a screen? A recent survey by Asurion showed …
Our lives are built on habits. These habits drive many of the actions you take on any given day. Brushing your teeth, working out, eating healthy food, and drinking alcohol are all habits in which we knowingly choose to partake. But if you’ve ever tried to develop a new habit or squash an old one, you know that building habits that last is harder than it first appears. Generally speaking, creating …
A lot of emphasis is placed on morning routines. We regularly hear all the things successful people are accomplishing before 6 am. Don’t get me wrong; I am a person who finds immense value in repeating the same rituals every morning. But while creating a solid morning routine is crucial to a healthy day, an evening routine is just as essential, if not more. A great day begins the night before …

You’ve completely forgotten about those silly goals you made at the beginning of the year. The running shoes are still in …
Last night, I watched the opening episode of The Bachelor with a girlfriend (need I remind you this is a judgment-free zone), and I made some Four Sigmatic mushroom cacao mix* instead of my nightly tea.

People inherently like to start things on milestones. That’s what makes January 1 such a popular date to attempt to change behaviors. We love arbitrary dates like the first of the year, month, or week. How many times have you eaten a dessert on Thursday and thought, “Oh screw it, I’ll get back on my diet Monday.” These are the subtle mental games we play that result in us being less …
This morning, I listened to an episode of the Tim Ferriss podcast with guest Matthew McConaughey, renowned actor and hunk, among other things. In talking about his childhood, McConaughey told of how traditional “bad” words in his household were mostly allowed, but the words they would get scolded for were “hate” and “can’t.” Now hate is a topic for another day, and I can think of a million different words to …
