What advice would you give to your teenage self? I would tell her to trust her instincts. When your gut is telling you something, there’s a reason for that! And we don’t need to necessarily know what it is! If you feel like something is wrong, don’t do it. Especially don’t do it just to…

7 Ways to Drink More Water Today
I am the first to admit it. I am horrible about drinking water. I just don’t like it. I know it’s important to stay hydrated, and I tell my patients to do it all the time. Once I get to work, it is often so busy that I don’t get time to drink as much…

Night Owls Vs. Early Birds (Part III-Sleep Hygiene)
Let’s talk about sleep hygiene. This is important whether you’re a night owl or an early bird or somewhere in between.

Dream Home
Write about your dream home. It would have lots of sunlight… Trees all around… Like black walnut, and weeping willow… A lilac bush and a garden… But the best part of it would be the people that would be there. That’s what makes my dream house a home. 🙂 What would be in your dream…
