Exercising can be a powerful tool for maintaining and improving mental health—just ask science. A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, one of the largest studies on the topic to date, found regular exercise to be effective in treating symptoms of depression and anxiety. But not all workouts are created equal, and some will be more beneficial to your mental health than others. Plus, it’s possible for exercise to have negative mental health impacts, especially when related to exercise addiction. So how do you ensure your workout is serving both your body and your mind?

Cooldowns can be a little like dentist appointments. You know you should do it, but when the time comes, it’s so easy to come up with an excuse and talk yourself out of it. Maybe you bargain with yourself: Next time, I’ll stop my workout five minutes earlier, so I definitely have time to do a cooldown. Or maybe you logic your way out of it: I still have to shower, get dressed, then walk to the train or drive to work—isn’t all that movement basically a cooldown?As it turns out, research is actually a bit mixed on whether stretching after…
Every great business starts with an idea, but actually growing that idea into a viable company has its challenges—such as getting the financial support you need.

Career & Business 13 of the best leadership qualities for any industry Posted by: Team Tony There is no set list of qualities that make an effective leader. Great leaders are unique. Think of all of the leaders you know personally or leaders known worldwide – chances are, many of them have different leadership styles ranging from friendly and democratic to authoritative. Some may display stereotypical leadership qualities like being outspoken or organized, but great leaders can also be introverts, creatives and visionaries. Don’t sabotage by thinking that leadership potential is something you’re born with. These limiting beliefs keep you…
Another year complete. Here’s a quick recap of 2019, which also happened to be one of the craziest years of my life. As always, this Annual Review will answer three questions. What went well this year? What didn’t go so well this year? What did I learn? Before we begin, it is worth noting that every Annual Review is a personal process. This is simply an overview of what my year looked like, not advice for how you should live your life. (That said, you are always welcome to use this general format for your own Annual Review.)
By Leo Babauta I’ve noticed that so many of us are incredibly focused on getting stuff done. Productivity systems and tools, anxiety about being behind on all the things we have to do, a complete focus on all the stuff to do, at the exclusion of all else … But here’s the thing: if you ever get really really good at executing and getting stuff done … you realize that it’s an empty, meaningless game. I’m a testimony to that — I’m very good at getting things done. And I can absolutely crush my task list for months on end.…
There’s no fruit that epitomizes summer like strawberries. Juicy and perfectly plump, strawberries infuse refreshing sweetness and a bold red hue to any dish. But there are more reasons we love picking them. The heart-shaped super berry can help increase HDL (good) cholesterol, lower blood pressure and fight inflammation. Packed with vitamins, fiber, antioxidants and more, just one berry clocks in 11 percent of your daily recommended vitamin C. (Indeed, eight of them provide more vitamin C than an orange!) That’s why the versatile fruit can be used in everything from salad dressings to lemonade to homemade fruit roll-ups and…

We talk a lot about mindful eating around here, and for lots of good reasons! But, at least for me, I often think of it as a personal practice. Maybe not solitary, exactly, but it’s something that I do, for myself – not because someone else is influencing it.But mindful is one of the first words I reached for when describing my incredible outdoor dining experience with Kiawe Outdoor, along with thoughtful, elevated, and, holy cow how did I get this lucky?I happened to be on Maui for my husband’s work (which, yes, is a big part of the answer…
