It’s Time to Stop and Smell the Roses
Although it’s a cliché, there’s actually some truth behind the saying “stop and smell the roses.” In a study conducted by Rutgers University psychology professor Nancy Fagley, it was found that people are happier when they take the time to appreciate the people and things in their lives. But, what exactly is appreciation and how is it different than gratitude? Appreciation is defined by Fagley as “acknowledging the value and meaning of something—an event, a behavior, an object—and feeling positive emotional connection to it.” It involves being present so that you recognition and enjoy the good qualities of a person or item.

5 Mindset Shifts to Fall Into A Rhythm & Flow of Rest
This week I’m pleased to have another guest post from Athena Allread, a Reiki Master and Shamanic Practitioner and co-owner of Lanikai Wellness studio. Do you ever fight the urge to rest? As a mom of 3, I can identify with that perceived ‘need’ to push through even when all of our internal systems are shutting down. We become like a computer crashing. The computer is begging ‘Please!

I had a computer tech tell me once that my computer (my actual computer) needed to be turned OFF and that putting it to ‘sleep’ wasn’t the same…

3 Reasons Why Working Moms Like You Should Join a Membership Site
Between your career,care taking of your children, maintaining your home, and keeping your marriage healthy, you probably haven’t given much thought into joining a membership site. I completely understand. You have a full plate and joining a membership is definitely not a priority.

It means that you have a safe and positive environment whenever you need advice or encouragement on topics ranging from being a women entrepreneur to tips on how to get your kids to help around the house. But, that’s just scratching the surface. Over the years I’ve found…

Women are MASTERS are tearing ourselves and others apart. And we do SO much to keep ourselves young, fit, slim, and shapely in just the right way.
