Exercise is the Best Medicine: Struggles with Body Image

I originally started writing this article weeks ago, to talk about my passion for health and fitness and how great exercise is for your mental heath, especially in stressful times like these; But as I wrote, the story took on a life of its own and turned into something completely different. I didn’t really think I struggled that much with my relationship with food or body image until I started …

Thoughts Become Things

On average, humans have 48.6 thoughts per minute. That adds up to 70,000 thoughts per day! The crazy thing is, many of us aren’t even aware of the majority of what we are thinking.

I’m not going to lie and say I haven’t been in a bit of a panic the past 24 hours. I have elderly grandparents, my boyfriend and I have asthma, my …
