Squeezing exercise into a busy life is challenging. I know. Trust me. So, I’m always on the lookout for easy ways to boost activity. Here’s one: clip on a pedometer. A recent study in New Zealand showed that making this one little change–just the simple act of wearing a pedometer–almost doubled walking rates in the 300+ subjects they […]

Summer is on its way. And with those blossoming trees and wafts of warm air, thoughts turn to the inevitable: swimsuit season. I don’t know if this induces shudders in you, but it certainly does me. I’ve long believed they use funhouse mirrors in swimsuit changerooms, you know the kind that make certain bits look too big, […]

I was not what you would call “a runner”. It’s not that I hadn’t tried. At various points in my life (usually after a spell of too much lasagne/baked-brie-with-cranberries/caramel macchiatos…), I tried running. But it was always like banging my head against a brick wall–it only felt good when it stopped. I would always give up after […]

North Americans may be many things, but one thing we’re not? Svelte. Not on average, anyway. And certainly not compared to the rest of the world. Are there things we could learn from our friends in other countries around the globe? Why, yes. Yes there are. Join me on a little tour. Japan In Okinawa, […]

Most people think they must make gigantic life changes to change their lives. Leave their job, start a business, move to a new country… But it’s not drastic external changes that create real transformation.

Morning routines have gone from helpful to strangely worshipped. CEOs and entrepreneurs share their rituals, and the self-development world treats them like guaranteed formulas for success. Like if you wake up at 5 am, drink celery juice, and jump in an ice bath, you’ll achieve all your hopes and dreams! As someone deeply interested in […]

Life is like a movie where each of us is following a different script. Yet many of us aren’t happy with the one we’ve been given and secretly wish we were living someone else’s story.
