Hey Benjamin,

Great perspective. We certainly do take a reactive approach to issues in society. It's great to have forums such as HeartSupport to help people. But absolutely the solution to mental health issues needs to be a proactive one where people are working on their mental fitness as they would their physical fitness.

Thanks

Great article. Thanks for sharing your insights. So many great little tidbits that I highlighted in this. The only real solution to overthinking is actually to get out of your head and into your body, meaning get your body moving. Do something about what you're thinking about. If you can do that then you'll have new thoughts to think about and new challenges to face instead of having your head spin in circles about the same problems.

Absolutely! Great message Jeff. Thanks for sharing your dream and your insights.

I think that in our lives we need to bring our attention and focus back to doing the things we love, the little practices, habits and routines that can sometimes feel great, sometimes feel hard but, in the end, they make life worth living.

Great article. Really enjoyed all of the points you had. It's about the journey. It's about the process. It's about the here and now. Don't be so caught up in getting somewhere and miss the people, places, experiences, feelings, relationships, and love that made it all worthwhile.

I'd never heard that Emily Dickinson quote before but what a great one, 'Forever - is composed of Nows.' Thanks again!

Everything you do in life requires time and energy… Everything. There’s no way around that fact.

Everything you decide to partake in requires a decision, on your part, to engage in that activity.

Hacks sound great and some can certainly be time saving in some instances but I think that it can mislead people at times… or, people end up misleading themselves when it comes to ‘hacking life’ or ‘hacks’ for life.

People always want shortcuts in life. And, in the end, there is definitely value in what others have to offer in terms of plans and steps a person…

Have you ever worked out for the first time in a long time? Or, have you ever changed your workout routine and completed exercises your body isn’t used to? What happens the next day?

You’re REALLY SORE, right?

However, as long as you did all of the exercises properly the soreness or pain is good pain. The pain is an indication that you pushed yourself to do something out of the ordinary, something outside of your typical/everyday routine.

If we continue down this pathway, in terms of continuing with these new routines/exercises our bodies will adjust as we build strength…

The season of giving is upon us. As we prepare to give and receive gifts and share extra time with loved ones it’s a good time for some reflection. As kids we definitely don’t reflect. Our excitement is through the roof as we prepare to receive as many gifts as possible. In our young minds, the more, the better!

As we grow older we realize the season is about more than gifts. We see the season as a way to share and enjoy our time with loved ones. Recently, I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts, specifically Tim Ferriss’s…

Whether you realize it or not your relationships become your identity. Or, said differently, your relationships are the physical manifestation of your identity and your identity is closely linked to your beliefs.

This stream works both ways, from the physical dimension inward and from our innermost dimensions of who we are and who we think we are into the physical world.

One of the things that concerns me most is the relationship we have to names, specifically the names that we apply to ourselves and the names others apply to us. Names can be powerful, uplifting, inspiring, motivating, energizing, and…
