Younger By Next Year Mini-Review

So, we recently finished reading "Younger Next Year" by Chris Crowley and Dr. Henry Lodge, and we'll just say this much, it’s a bit like having a wise, slightly quirky uncle sitting you down for a heart-to-heart while occasionally cracking a dad joke. 


The main idea? 


Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down; in fact, it can be just the opposite! 


The book is packed with practical tips on staying active, eating right, and maintaining a positive mindset as you get older. 


Personally, I used to think I was just destined to become a couch potato with cat hair as my only companion, but these guys made me believe there's still plenty of life—and fun—left in the tank!


What we really enjoyed was their light-hearted approach to some serious subjects. It's like they know we all hate being told to exercise, so they mix in enough humor to keep it engaging. 

Sure, sometimes they get a little preachy, but who doesn't give a bit of a nudge when it comes to wellness? 

You can really appreciate the emphasis on community & relationships. 

They really drive home the point that you can't just turn into a hermit after a certain age. Plus, the science behind it is fascinating—who knew that a little movement and laughter could actually help you feel "younger"?

In summary, if you want a motivational boost that feels more like a friendly chat than a lecture, give "Younger Next Year" a read. You might find yourself doing a few extra squats instead of binge-watching your favorite show!

Breaking The Cycle Of Victimhood Part 2: Finding The Strength Within

What can you do to improve your health overall? Work out? Eat right? Well, when it comes to improving your health—whether physical, emotional, or mental—we often find ourselves looking backward.  We try to analyze the patterns, the triggers, the “why” behind how we got here. And while that self-reflection matters, there’s something just as important that we often overlook: what we choose to do next. If you can change your mind (or change HOW your mind perceives things) you can change your world. Let's do this! Understanding the Power of “What’s Next” It’s common to fixate on the events or habits that left us feeling broken, stuck, or off balance. Maybe it was burnout, chronic stress, a health scare, or a series of poor choices. But pinpointing the cause of our struggles isn't the same thing as healing from them. This unfortunately, keeps us in the victimhood mindset. Rather than staying stuck in the "why," try asking: "How can I make this situation into a ste...

Not happening for most of us.  You probably already knew this but, around 90% of Americans start their day with some form of caffeine, whether it's coffee, an energy drink, or a scoop of pre-workout.  The upside? That daily ritual could actually be working with your body, especially if you’re active and mindful about your health.
