In this quick post, we’ll give recommendations on how to combine the two seemingly contrasting approaches, but keep in mind that these are guidelines, and should be adjusted to reflect your own priorities.

They can be easily pre-portioned into 100-calorie snackable servings, tossed into a bag, stored in your desk at work, sneaked into a movie theater, and eaten whenever the hangry monster threatens to strike.

Nuts have plenty of health benefits, too, including helping to prevent obesity. But don’t go nuts over nuts just yet. All…

Daily Theming isn’t about controlling every moment of your day — it’s about setting an intention for what your day should primarily focus on. It…
Noted physician, author, and professor Martin H. Fischer once famously said of medical treatment that, “Diagnosis is not the end, but the beginning of practice. There is little you can do to stop a tornado, a hurricane, or a cancer diagnosis from changing your life in an instant. As any doctor can tell you, the most crucial step toward healing is having the right diagnosis.” Or, to quote the similarly high-minded poet Ferris Bueller, “Life comes at you fast.” While you cannot control the hands that you are dealt in life, your responses to them—and how you incorporate active consideration…
