H2O and the Daily Goal
So I've been suffering from a severe headache for the best part of a week now. I've been short and irritable with the people around me, and generally brought the mood in the house down several notches. According to quite a few web searches one of the main causes may be my hydration levels. I'm not what you'd call a water drinker. Even in the height of summer, I am guilty of reaching for a Diet Coke or iced coffee. I've never really given much consideration to how this is effecting me. Whether those preconditioned to reach for the Evian are receiving noticable benefits from this habit, I'll admit it shouldn't take a six day migraine to make me consider improving my water intake. There's numerous articles in fashion and lifestyle magazines professing it will give you clear skin and sparkly eyes but what about other effects?

The Holy Grail, The Cup of Satisfaction, The Drink of Fulfillment
Facing the Unlimited with the Limited When I think about food it feels like facing the unlimited with the limited. My non-existent desire to eat other things or “go back to eating” after feeling such simplicity and fulfillment while following the raw milk cure, also referred to as a mono food and drink diet called the raw milk diet (note that for me this is not the same thing as a fast and comes from a different and healthy mindset than that of an eating disorder) has left me asking myself “Do I really have to go through this again?” and “When did I do it before?” Nonetheless, knowing that this desire I’ve been feeling is highly unconventional, controversial and can make many people go into defense mode, I understand that the unlimited can only be fulfilled by the unlimited, and so, I dive into asking these questions with the willingness to be open to whatever answers and options for proceeding may come along.

Anger
Anger is our most energetic emotion. You can fuel yourself with anger to accomplish most of anything in the world. It comes at a price though. The hormones that increase with your anger will wreak total havoc on your body, system by system. I have found most of us get angry when we are disrespected, disobeyed, or betrayed. For each of us, it is a different scenario, but the results are the exact same. Our bodies were not meant to be fueled by anger, and this is the destruction that comes along with holding on to the hurt.

How to Be Your Body's Friend
I had already gone through eight days of fasting when I saw him. I was sitting in my car and noticed a man heading across the parking lot. He wore a fitted hat, gray hoodie, and baggy pants. I watched curiously as he paused to spit in different places on the street. When he walked next to my car, he started to vomit. It was a violent scene but also very controlled. Once he finished hurling in front of the car, he picked himself up and walked away. An onlooker would have been none the wiser as he disappeared into a nearby McDonald's. I watched in disbelief as he calmly entered the fast food store. Throughout the whole ordeal, he never once seemed to panic or call for help. It was as though this occurrence was just like any other day.

Lull: The Mattress That Turned My Four Hours into Eight. Top Story - August 2019. Created with: Lull.
I know from personal experience that finding the mattress that gives you the perfect night’s sleep can be a foreboding task. As I was searching for a new bed, I was intimidated by the prospect of choosing from hundreds of different mattresses. Each one promised to give me the best shut-eye I’ve ever had and I wasn’t sure what was actually going to make a difference in my sleep. Luckily, I heard about the The Lull Mattress, and ever since my sleep has been completely transformed. I wish I knew months ago that all it would take to overcome my sleepless nights was a new mattress. I hope that my journey to getting a full night of sleep inspires you to do the same.

Sitting Long Hours? Good Bye Body Then!
Nowadays, sitting AND working on a computer is becoming the "normal" posture: hips closed, thighs tight, spine flexed, and what about your lovely shoulders rounded forwards? Or your fingers spread like spider legs on the keyboard.

Emotional Numbness and How to Overcome It
Emotional numbness is a rather complex phenomenon, with a multitude of causes and factors that lead to its development. Most often, it’s manifested in a person’s inability to feel and experience emotions, both psychologically and emotionally. Usually, it’s connected with dissociation, a disconnect from one's memories, body, senses, environment, and a general sense of self.
