You were at the top of your game a few weeks ago. You worked out almost every day, followed a clean and healthy diet, met your professional targets, slept well, and woke up motivated to take on a new day. But then, you went a full 180, and old, unhealthy habits crept back into your life. Now, you are mired in the muck of negativity. If you are looking for ways to turn your life around, you came to the right place. Here are the steps you must take to get back on track. Identify what caused your fall Think…

Childhood obesity is a scourge of the modern world. At no point in history were there so many children dramatically overweight. Worse still, because obesity is becoming the norm, fewer parents are aware of just how large their children are. Overweight kids no longer look out of place in our society.  Obesity doesn’t just make doing exercise tough for children with the condition: it also sets them up for a host of health problems in the future. Obese children, for instance, are much more likely to suffer from heart disease prematurely, thanks to the buildup of fatty deposits in the…

There are a few things in life we were never prepared or properly taught how to deal with, such as the sudden death of a loved one, getting into an accident, falling out with your closest friend. Finding out that your spouse is cheating on you could very well qualify among these situations that we barely know how what to do next except give in to the moment and our emotions. But as with all unfortunate and life-changing events, you may feel devastated and lost, but know that you can get through it. Breathe and Compose Yourself Whether you’ve been…

We all have this invisible barrier between us and the world, and when we go beyond this barrier; this is when we start to feel an almighty sense of stress. Our comfort zone is like a security blanket, and when we start to experience life outside of this comfort zone, we can fall prey to a whole manner of stress and tension. Naturally, we try to stay within our comfort zone, by living the lives we want to lead. But there will be moments or long stretches of time where we end up outside of this, and we live on…

When that idea of the family unit is torn apart, and divorce or separation is on the horizon, there can be a temptation to make it just work for us. But we’ve got so many other things to think about, not just the children, but everyone’s sensibilities. And as divorce can be a very hard hitting process, we’ve got to find ways to make sure that everybody emerges from the flames as best as possible. How can we do this? Avoiding Petty Debates If we really can’t get over a little issue, this is what mediation is for. On the…

Dealing with loss can be one of the most difficult things that you have to do in your life. Whether it’s due to somebody passing away, or whether a relationship with somebody (and not necessarily a romantic one) has dissolved, you can really feel like a piece of you is now missing. All of those things that you used to share with that person are now going around in your head, and you don’t really know what to do with them. Whilst loss and grieving is by no means a linear process, there are some things that you can do…

How many times have you found yourself struggling with life? Not just a little bit, but where you feel like you’re drowning and you don’t know how to get up without continuously getting knocked over. Dealing with that kind of stress and negativity is not comfortable, but asking for support? For a lot of people, that’s just too hard. We put pressure on ourselves every single day, and there are many people out there who think that asking for help is a sure sign of weakness. We judge ourselves and our needs too harshly; asking for help isn’t a weakness;…

A strong family unit appears to be a difficult thing to attain these days. While so many people operate with the idea that family comes first, it’s surprising how few people work hard at making this unit strong. If we have young children, we have the perfect opportunity in life to nurture them and to structure their beliefs so that they are headstrong, but that we can all cooperate well as a family. In some ways, the rules are simple, but what does it take to really make a family work together and stay solid?   Dedication To See Things…

If you have suffered an injury at your place of work there will be so many things happening all at the same time, such as assessing the extent of your injuries and carrying out an investigation into how the accident happened. It can be difficult to focus on all the important points and actions that you need to cover at a time like this, which means that you could end up not getting the incident resolved satisfactorily if you don’t ask the right questions and follow the correct procedures. Here is a look at why it can pay to get…
