Finding Time for ”Me” Time By Ellen G. Goldman, Health and Wellness Coach How often have you found yourself thinking or saying the following? “I wish I had more time for myself.” “I’m so busy! I don’t have a moment to breathe.” “I need more hours in the day.” “I don’t have time for that.” We lead crazy, busy lives. And the one thing we never seem to have time for is ourselves.

But this is honestly the greatest honour we can give to ourselves, to our creator and to those we love and respect – to simply live the best life we possibly can by being the best version of…
BY TINA WILLIAMSON JANUARY 3, 2014 We develop habits in our younger years. When actions results in favorable, outcomes we will repeat that behavior; through frequent repetition and reinforcement, we will become conditioned, like Pavlov’s dogs.

BY DR. DANIELLE DOWLING APRIL 20, 2014 Life, as you know, is incredibly busy these days. Return emails, do laundry, pay bills, make dinner, buy an anniversary gift, call your mother and go to the gym. And then lather, rinse and repeat tomorrow.

BY NADYA ANDREEVA DECEMBER 21, 2013 Clean protein is harder to come by than you might think. Pesticides, heavy metals, and antibiotics are abundant in almost all factory-produced nonorganic meat, poultry, fish, dairy, and eggs.
