“Always concentrate on how far you’ve come, rather than how far you have left to go.” ~Unknown
I recently read Glennon Doyle’s Untamed, and like many who have read it, I felt as if it had changed my life—but not because it made me think of all the things I was capable of (as was the case with many of friends who read it), but because it made me realize how capable I had already been.
The book on the whole is beautiful and inspiring, but the part that stuck with me the most was the story about Tabitha, a beautiful cheetah that Glennon and her kids …

If you just downed a pint of ice cream only to find yourself keeled over, clutching your stomach — lots of people can sympathize.
By adulthood, up to 70 percent of people don’t produce enough lactase to properly digest the lactose in milk. This leads to symptoms when they consume dairy. So, you’re def not the only one feeling it in the name of (admittedly freaking delicious) dairy indulgences.
Here’s how long to expect those lactose intolerance symptoms to last.

I’m fascinated by hidden messages. The symbolism of flowers in wedding bouquets, the secret signals Victorian women used to communicate through their fans, the meaning of Aran stitches in sweaters… this idea of a secret message given in plain sight is beautiful because it means “The world sees me, but I see you. And I’ve got something special just for you.”
Valentine’s Day is approaching, which means these secret messages are often passed off as innocent dinners.

Few people have had a more profound impact on modern-day football than Tom Brady.
While he may stir up a lot of emotion from football fans, there’s no denying Tom is one of the best quarterbacks of all time.
He’s 43, has played in nine Super Bowls (leading his team to victory in six), and has been named league MVP three separate years. And this Sunday, he heads to his tenth Super Bowl championship.
So it begs the question: what makes Tom Brady great?
Genetics, work ethic, and skill all play a major role, I’m sure, but Tom has been equally focused on nutrition to help him sustain peak performance year after year.

Like, “Calm down!” Or “Just be positive!” Or “Don’t worry so much!”
The people who try to help generally want to do just that, but it’s always easier to advise someone when you’re not feeling what they’re feeling, because you have the benefit of rational thought—which goes out the window when fight-or-flight mode takes over.
And if you’ve never felt the depth of anxiety some of us experience—perhaps because you weren’t conditioned that way through trauma, or you’ve learned to block or resist your emotions—it’s hard to truly underst…

In order for me to gain some firsthand experience of what it is like to live in an institutional dementia care setting, I arranged with the administration of a nursing home in the area for me to be admitted as a “resident” without the care staff knowing that I did not have dementia. These are some reflections on my five day stay….

This may be coming to you at precisely the right time. Or this may be something you’ll need at a later date. Either way, one thing is for certain: Workout motivation is finite.
When was the last time you had a workout slump? When you didn’t have motivation to work out and your usual drive and enthusiasm wasn’t there? It seemingly vanished, like a well that’s run dry.
