  • What Workout Should I Do Today?

    March 18, 2026
    Fitness

    It sounds like a simple question, but this used to be a big issue for me when I started planning my own workouts and plans. You walk into the gym, your garage, storage room, basement, bedroom or living room (all have been true in my case), and you have no idea what to do. You…

  • Working Out is A Part of Who I Am

    May 15, 2025
    Fitness

    There was a time, back in high school, when working out was something I did because I liked how it made me look or it was a part of the sport I was playing. But these days, it’s a whole lot bigger than that. Now, working out feels essential. Like food. Like water. Like brushing…

  • Concentrate on the Right Things

    May 5, 2025
    Mindset

    It sounds simple, focus on what matters. But anyone who’s ever spent a day overthinking a text message, eating the wrong thing on your magical diet plan, or spiraling about something out of their control knows it’s anything but easy. We only have so much attention, energy, and emotional bandwidth. Yet we often spend it…

  • The Benefits of Simplicity

    April 23, 2025
    Mindset

    Especially in the world we live in today, simplicity is underrated. We’ve got access to everything, endless information, other people’s opinions, someone’s “life-changing morning routine”, 1000 different ways to make a gajillion dollars one might say. With so much coming at us all the time, it’s no wonder things feel complicated. It can be hard…

  • Walking the Line Between Discipline & Micro-Management

    April 12, 2025
    Fitness, Mindset

    There I was, book in hand, comfy spot on the couch, plenty of time to kill, and suddenly my brain goes, “Hold up. You can’t read like this.” Why? Because I wasn’t at my desk. I didn’t have a pen. Or a notebook. Or a curated playlist of reading music to set the mood. Apparently,…

  • Getting Out of My Own Way

    April 8, 2025
    Mindset

    Have you ever had something valuable to say, like in a meeting when you actually have a solid idea but you keep it to yourself, or when a friend is yapping and you know exactly what might help but you hesitate to share it, or even when you’re writing something you think could really resonate…

  • Why is life so hard?

    March 10, 2025
    Mindset

    Or is it just me? If you are reading this, you must first recognize that everyone’s life is hard at some points, and your difficulties might not be out of the ordinary. Although life’s difficulties are on a spectrum from least hard to something harder than anybody could imagine, the important thing to realize is…

  • The Importance of Curiosity

    March 10, 2025
    Mindset

    What comes to your mind when you think of curiosity? From my experience, whenever I am curious about something it is usually worth looking into, but how can we always be curious? This is a question that I have been struggling to answer myself because I go through something that I call, streaks of curiosity.…

  • Positivity in Life

    March 10, 2025
    Mindset

    Or negativity…it is up to you. Think about a time where you have had positivity in life, where you had a goal, and knew you had the skills to get there. Now think about a time where you were negative in life, did you even try to reach your goal at all? There is one…

  • Sacrifice Today for Tomorrow

    March 10, 2025
    Mindset

    If you want… The main reason I say, you must sacrifice today for tomorrow, is the simple fact that tomorrow actually does not exist, the time is always now. This will never change, and the sooner you accept that, the more you will get done. The unfortunate, or rather fortunate truth now that you know…
