I love to learn about the interaction of science and spirituality, especially with quantum physics. And my passion ..read more

I sat in the funeral home and just stood back and observed. There was a montage of pictures. I had an opportunity to see him in his youth, when he got married, and when he was a single parent with two very young children. In these photos I got the chance to meet all the people he’s spoken about for over 15 years with me. There were actual faces to the people I have grown to know so intimately. The thing that amazed me the most was that there were so many people present that it was standing room only. I wasn’t just imagining it, there were a plethora of people who seemed to really know and car ..read more

Our attitudes towards the digital world are very contradictory. Many researches show that most of us consider the Internet the best source of information and knowledge.

Almost 80% of teenagers develop their interests and passions in the digital world. 60.2% feel calm and happy when using the web. However, this is only one face of the digital world. On the other hand, 2 out of 3 Internet users declare they consider themselves addicted to technology. Over half of Americans spend between 3 ..read more

Establishing deep meaningful genuine relationships with others is a vital aspect of personal and professional success.

We've all had a "gut feeling," or someone has told us to "follow our gut." It's that feeling that we may know something just by knowing—our intuition telling us something. It turns out that this feeling is more than just a feeling. The human body is an intricate series of systems, each individually playing a vital role in our overall health and well-being, and at the same time, they are all connected to make our whole body work.  One of these systems is the gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, which is responsible for digesting food and absorbing nutrients. When we combine its ..read more

By all accounts, we’ve become a nation of people desperately trying to manage stress overload. According to a 2022 survey from the American Psychological Association, the problem is so bad that around one-quarter of all adults can’t function because of high-stress levels.

Last year I made three purchases that changed my life for the better. They weren't flashy or expensive items or even stocks for that matter, but they have given me the tools to become more balanced and achieve a greater wellbeing. Up until that point, I was constantly running on fumes trying to balance between my classes, labs, study, work, life...you get the gist. And while my book, desk, and lamp weren't miraculous cures for my chaotic lifestyle, each item helped me to create more structure in my days and build meaningful habits that improved my wellbeing in countless ways. From a self-help ..read more

Being a good communicator is often cited as one of the key characteristics of a strong leader. But when people think of communication—for example, instructions from managers to their team—most think of how that person speaks to their employees, and often omit the fact that active listening is just, if not more important. Truly effective communication is not simply about talking, it’s taking the time to listen attentively to others’ stories, asking questions, and mining conversations for depth and understanding. People often think they are good listeners, but active listening requires a consci ..read more

Many people have gotten more involved in social activism and community work, recently. Seeing the divides in political positions, opportunities, and lived experiences, many of us have declared that we cannot, in good conscience, passively wait for others to make the world a better place. While this work can be rewarding, it can also be hard. Sometimes it’s anxiety-provoking, and sometimes you might feel discouraged about the progress you are (or aren’t) seeing, or about the state of the world in general. There can be feelings of overwhelm, about all that needs doing, and hopelessness about ho ..read more

The problem starts with thinking in terms of having time as opposed to making time. We all have the same amount of time in a day, but what we make of that time and how we use that time is what makes the difference. You cannot expect to get the results you want if you’re not prioritizing what’s going to get you those results. Whether you want to write your first book, lose weight or start a business, you have to make what’s going to give you these outcomes a priority! Here are my 3 keys to help you break the “I don’t have enough time” cycle. Key # 1: Identify what’s really behind your “not ha ..read more
