There isn’t any medication that exists that is able to confer the same health benefits that regular meditation and exercise are able to offer.

Regardless of which type of meditation you choose to try, I sincerely encourage you to try something if you haven’t already. There are clearly many benefits and exactly zero disadvantages to trying it unless your free time would be better spent doing something else that will make you a better person and improve your quality of life.

I used to run too fast. My bi-weekly jog always—always—escalated into a Forrest-Gump-like pace. A weekly day or two of long-distance, low-intensity cardio work can not only improve your recovery and heart health, it can also take time off your faster runs and improve your lifts.
Bone broth might seem like a fairly new healthy buzz, but it’s actually a concept that has been around for hundreds of years. From indigenous cultures to classic French cuisine- bone broth is nothing new. However, recently it has stepped into the spotlight- and with good reason!
The late, great neuroscientist Victor Frankel once said, “Between stimulus and the response, there is a space, and in that space is our power and our freedom”.

First, to understand what is meant by “the present moment”, we need to look at its opposite, which is commonly called “Autopilot”. Simply put, Autopilot describes any time that your mind is not focused on what is right in front of you.
