Grateful, No Matter What
by Kyle The Grateful
I truly believe that people have the ability to change, to adjust their lifestyles in a way that makes them a better version of themselves one day at a time. I know from personal experience how satisfying it was, and still is, to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-care through a healthy lifestyle. What excites me even more is the idea that one day I can directly play a part in someone else’s journey; help transform their lives in such a way that they will hopefully carry on their own ideals for the entirety of their lives. Follow me on my journey.

Recognizing & Removing Unhealthy Habits
Nothing is stronger than habit. Simply put, a habit is a behavior that starts as a choice, and then becomes a nearly unconscious pattern. Every habit, no matter how simple or complex, has the same structure, which we call the "habit loop." There is a cue or a trigger that tells your brain to go...

Perspective: It's All Relative
A century ago, Albert Einstein taught us: everything is relative. The way you see the world depends on your point of view and context. What is hot for you might be mild for me, what is a success for me might be a failure to you. There’s no black and white, there’s only the perspective you choose…

"No" is a Complete Sentence
“No” is a word most of us use too infrequently. And, what’s worse, when we say “No” we usually add on all sorts of lengthly and unecessary explanations. But “No” can be a complete sentence, and to be honest, "No" is a complete sentence. Often, no is a difficult thing to say. This resistance to…

You Attract What You Radiate

The Downsides of a Routine
I’ll admit I’m a creature of habit in many ways. I tend to settle into routines that feel good, and I get pretty invested in them at times. A routine is a series of habits.

The Law of Impermanence
The external, as well as the internal are forever changing, no matter what we do, say, or try to actively control on a daily basis.

What Makes a Man a Man & a Woman a Woman?
I was recently asked the question, "What makes a man a man?", and I honestly didn't know how to answer it. In my head, certain qualities came up to describe a man, but before I spoke those words into existence, I realized that those same qualities could be attributed to a woman as well. And…
