you don't have to pay millions to live to a million

As a species, humans are no doubt incredible beings but we also overcomplicate literally everything. There's people out there spending millions of dollars a year trying to crack the aging and longevity code by way of at-home hyperbolic chambers, daily IV infusions, supplements and a myriad of other bank-breaking tools and techniques. While it's tempting to buy into the hype (if you're wealthy enough to do so), you don't have to. Daily diet and lifestyle habits that support the aging process is really all you need.

metacognitive emotional regulation in children 

In my experience, observation and understanding, life doesn't ever get easier. Instead, what happens is we get stronger, wiser and (hopefully) more emotionally adaptive. This study explores the scope of children's emotional regulation capabilities and suggests that even at a young age, kids have a surprisingly sophisticated awareness of the connection between thoughts, emotions and feelings. IMO, this is one of the most important skills to learn early on as many adults today still seem to really struggle with it.

how to build unshakable confidence

Mel Robbins gives me life and her greatest strength, IMO is the fact that she is both incredibly inspiring and at the same time, refreshingly relatable. She's been down and out, and graciously shares everything she did (and more) to get up and in. So, wherever you are in your journey and with whatever you're struggling, I can pinky promise that Mel's mindset, words and ancedotes of personal experience can help. She's honestly the GOAT of personal growth and this episode is money. 

confidence is an action

cottage cheese egg salad

Before you get all up at me about yet *another* cottage cheese recipe, this one actually makes sense; unlike many of the others IMO. I made it the other day with some leftover veg that was on its way out and honestly, it was the healthy, high protein recipe I didn’t know I needed. With extra creaminess from the cottage cheese, and the satisfying crunch from the celery and onions, this recipe goes beyond your classic traditional egg salad without any loss on the nostalgic comfort.

heated crystal mat 

If I had it my way, I would be surrounded by crystals 24/7 and I would also always be warm. I feel like that's honestly not too much to ask for and it's made a hell of a lot easier with this heated crystal mat. If this sounds like your dream, too… click the link below and get ready to be. in. heaven.
