Anxiety Roller Coaster: The Least Fun Ride Ever

But I’m happy. That’s all that matters.
Money. Cars. Kids. Business Owner. Health. Knowledge. Travel. Relaxation. We all desire different things out of life. Some things are higher up on the list than others. At the top of my list is health, freedom, and enjoying the moment. Many see their success as power, or money, or travel. No one is wrong, we…

Moving Forward (onward and upward)
I’ve made my share of mistakes in life. I’ve said the wrong thing, done the wrong thing. I’ve acted selfishly. I’ve had one too many drinks before and thanked the lord I woke up safely in my home. I’ve blown up in anger, I’ve missed opportunities, I have been stubborn once or twice in my…

What is your limit? When do you decide that it’s time to “throw in the towel” on that thing you’ve been working towards, you know, because it’s not ‘working out’. There is no line drawn in the sand, no official end etched in stone. It’s up to you. When it gets hard, we always want…

How to keep going when you kinda sorta want to die.
If you’ve ever struggled with mental illness, you know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the painful reality of the incredible indifference some experience about their own untimely death. Could step out into traffic, could not. Not caring is the worst. There is nothing quite like experiencing apathy over your own life or death.…

20 Things You Can Do to Cope (instead of engaging in unhealthy strategies)
Hey you guys! I hope everyone had a wonderful week. But just so you know, this post is more so for those who didn’t have such a wonderful week. I’m talking about the strugglers; the bad-day-ers, the self-sabotagers. Sometimes when we’re hurting we want to escape, and we all have different vices. Some drink, some get…

Being POSITIVE is not what you think it is.
Being positive is not what you think it is. I know what you’re thinking. Most people have this idea that being a positive person means always having a sunny disposition. Most people think it means never having a bad day. Most people have this preconceived notion that if you identify yourself as a positive person…

Is fitness being “pornified”?
I just read an pretty cool article that discusses the “pornification” of the fitness industry. This concept is something that has been on my mind as of late, and no better time to discuss it than the present!
