Quit Smoking:
Smoking rate is the major cause of heart disease and other most serious health problems. If you smoke, find assistance and resources to quit smoking as soon as you can. Smoking cessation has a great impact on the heart and the complications can be reduced by this.
Monitor Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Levels:
Hypertension and high levels of cholesterol are very important risk factors for heart diseases. Have your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked periodically and monitor them within healthy ranges either through lifestyle modifications or medication if needed as advised by your doctor.
Stay Hydrated:
Sufficient consumption of water plays an important role in improving cardiac health. Aim at least 2 liters of water intake per day, and cut down on sugar-rich drinks and highly caffeinated ones, that can cause dehydration and damage the heart.
These simple heart health tips will go a long way in helping you take preventive steps to improve your cardiovascular health, thereby reducing the chances of falling victim to heart disease.

Keeping Fitness Important With The Stresses Of Everyday Life
Tumblr media
wellnessbeing Stress is a part of life in today's world. The pressures from work and home can make life seem overwhelming. You may feel completely exhausted by the time the day is over. Due to the stress of daily life, maintaining your fitness may not be top priority.
Fitness is taken for granted by many people. Many people have no motivation or plan to stay fit. Some people know that they need to exercise, but they put it off indefinitely. The good intention is to get around to doing it when they are more energetic and have time. As the days and weeks go by, they continue to forget about fitness and leave it out of their daily routines.
The Importance Of Fitness
You should make it a priority to maintain your physical and mental health. Every day you make sure to fit in your routines, like eating and showering. Exercise and fitness are often neglected. After all, fitness is vital for your well-being.
Fitness is important to your daily life. There are many benefits. Which of these benefits are there?
o Exercise keeps your body and mind healthy. Fitness reduces depression and stress. Exercise regularly can help prevent some cancers, such as colon and breast cancer. A healthy, active lifestyle will lead to better thinking and concentration. Fitness can be incorporated into your daily life to help maintain a healthy blood pressure. Keep fit to reduce the risk of developing heart disease. Fitness slows down aging.
Your metabolism will function more effectively if you're physically fit and active. Your metabolism will work more efficiently if you are physically active and fit. You will see your body become stronger, more flexible, firmer and leaner. Your energy will also increase. You will be able to handle all of the daily tasks, and stresses that come up easier as you gain more energy.
Stress can negatively impact your health, both physically and mentally. Depression can be caused by stress. Stress can cause depression. It may weaken your immune system, which could lead to sickness or disease. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation states that "diet and nutrition are the three most important areas in protecting and strengthening the immune system. Exercise and stress reduction are also very important." Even more than nutrition though, exercising can protect or even boost the immune response. Exercise is also good for your mental health.
How to Exercise Everyday
From the time you get up to the time you go to bed, you seem always on the move. Exercise is not something you fit into your daily life, despite how much effort you put in.
Take every chance to be active throughout your day if you don't have time for a workout. Stretch at your desk. Use the stairway instead of an elevator. Take the stairs to work or school. You can also walk during coffee and lunch breaks.
Remember that on days off, you can still be active and spend time with friends or family. Spend time with your family doing sports, bicycling, hiking or swimming instead of playing videogames or watching television all day. Help your children with gardening. Dance with your partner. You can be active in many ways. You have to move.
Denise Austin, a personal trainer, advises: "Make your goal setting an example to your children or friends, as well as being a role-model for them." It can also lift your spirit to know that others are watching you.
Keep Fitness and Health Important When You Have a Busy Work Schedule
It's important to incorporate health and fitness into your daily schedule now that you understand their importance.
Create a plan to get you started on the path of good health. If you need help, do a little research. Your doctor or fitness specialist can provide you with ideas for your program.
Exercise should be done at a specific time every day. It is often best to get up early and exercise first thing in morning. You should feel rested and prepared to work after a restful night of sleep. A good morning workout will make you more positive, energetic and productive. If morning workout sessions are not for you, choose a convenient time to schedule them.
Exercises that you like are the best. You will feel more motivated if you choose to do physical exercises that you like. Avoid exercise frustration and boredom by making your workouts enjoyable.
Exercises that you are capable of doing should be chosen. Be realistic when developing your fitness program. You might quit if you get too discouraged. As your fitness increases, you will be able to do more challenging workouts.
You can do a great workout at home. A gym membership is not always necessary when time is an issue. Exercise at home can save you time. You might want to invest in fitness equipment such as a treadmill at home, an elliptical machine, or a home gym.
Fitness should become a lifestyle! You may need to push yourself at first to perform these exercises. But don't quit! Don't give up! Be dedicated, consistent and persistent in your efforts to improve fitness. Over time, your daily workouts will be a part of you and will make them a routine.
You are also important! It's possible that you are the kind of person to put the needs and wants of others before your own. It's time to realize that YOU are also important. Your personal fitness deserves time every day. Prioritize your fitness! Fitter people are better equipped to deal with other things that require their attention.
Becoming fit and healthy is important. You'll find that with a bit of effort you can incorporate fitness and health into your daily life... no matter how hectic your schedule is!

8 more days until my husband graduates from bootcamp.
I cannot believe I survived almost 8 weeks without him. Was I alone in it? No. But I need to honestly stop knocking myself of the credit I deserve.
Still remember the card ride we were on when he was complaining about how dead end his job was and how better off we’d be financially if he had joined the Navy.
We were brand new parents. Hit with a fucking pandemic, living in a shit hole and feeling like shit holes. Our daughter was five months old. I had no job and we didn’t know what the next couple months were going to look like. Let alone the next couple YEARS. It was scary, dark and sometimes felt hopeless.
I remember being at home all day with the baby while he worked. Breastfeeding, watching TV, entertaining the baby and waiting for him to come back. Not knowing when things were going to change or how.
“Then why don’t you just do it?” I said. And from that moment we had a plan. I can’t believe everything started from a simple conversation and now we are at the end of the hardest part. Not only that, but we have ANOTHER child on the way.
I seldom take the time to give myself slack or credit or really admire the life I have. The things I do. I’m always concerned with not doing ENOUGH.
My husband left in May and since then I’ve successfully weaned our impossible daughter off breastfeeding. Gotten her on a schedule. Managed to feed, change and entertain her for weeks. I’m growing a human. I’ve moved out of our apartment. Dealt with the emotional turmoil that is pregnancy and being totally cut off from your spouse. I’ve done a lot and honestly I didn’t let it destroy me.
I’ve had some really great times through all of this. Like my daughters first birthday and birthday party. Watching her grow, become more interactive, silly, independent. Going to a carnival for the first time in forever. Going to the lake. Dying my hair. Going to the museum. My anatomy scan of the baby. The tiring walks we take in the mornings before nap time. The desperate nap time car rides. Going to the YMCA for swim time. I’ve done my best to enjoy all the little things. Despite it all. Even the joy of getting a letter from my husband can make my day.
But here we are almost at the fucking end! I’ll finally have a little bit of sanity back. And hopefully some more information about the future.
I’ve really had to push myself so much these past few weeks. In a way I think it was totally healthy for me to have this time alone. SO much has happened the past two years it’s insane. I never got to digest any of it. The thing about having kids is, I don’t think you ever do. Everything is go go go until those really big moments happen where it all kind of hits you. Like when the Princess at her birthday party was “crowning” her an official princess and the fact that I’ve been holding this little girl for over a year hit me. I could remember her very first cry and how it made my heart flutter. That’s when it hits you.
Or when she’s sleeping and I get to just look at her peacefully and remember the sleepless nights on my end when we just brought her home. Nobody lies when they tell you enjoy every moment because it goes so fast. It does! It’s time consuming. It’s hard work. It’s never quiet. I guess on the rare occasion that it is, you can truly soak it in.
Being away from my husband forced me to take risks, do things I didn’t think about doing before, being more organized, on top of things. In control. I mean I think we spent the first 9 months of her life not having a clue how to do anything. She was the boss. There was no order at all and we were both a wreck on the inside and out.
I used to not go to the store alone with my daughter because I was afraid of this, that and the other. I also never took the car seat out by myself or knew how to install it. Didn’t like driving with her alone in the backseat. Was afraid to feed her real food instead of baby food I knew was impossible to choke on. All these fears I overcame! I stopped dreading mornings as much and instead prepping for them mentally.
Also I started to slowly but surely get rid of people from my high school off of social media which I know sounds silly but it gives me anxiety. However when I actually do it I feel so much better and don’t regret it at all. I’m rapidly approaching my mid 20’s and it really is time to let go of the past. I’ve had such a hard time closing chapters and realizing I’m in a new one. Social media makes it THAT much harder but I think it’s even harder to break from it as a whole. It’s just unrealistic since my generation was raised on it. It’s so ingrained in me. It’s much easier to just create a safer space for yourself than force yourself off of something that provides creative expression.
I genuinely enjoy MY OWN content I just get annoyed by others. I’m still healing and processing past events and relationships. But those things were real and deep so I need to be forgiving with myself about it. But I definitely have gotten to points in the past where it’s like all I would think about. Now I’m not allowing myself to have SO MUCH dwell time. I need to live and be present. But also gentle with myself as I dont have THEE most stamina out there. Like seriously. Catch me with dizzy spells all the time.
Another big thing I accomplished was changing my name (again) legally which was A PROCESS! I’m never changing my name again. Seriously it is not worth it. Props to my 21 year old self for doing the most and going knee deep with transition but JFC was it a mess to get out of.
This is such a long post but it’s been a long summer so far.
Anyways. When it comes to genders I’ve time and time again come back to the same conclusion that I’m just fluid. A few months ago I was very turned off my anything feminine and felt more masculine again but when I get into THAT mindset I’m very one track mind. Blinders on.
The reality is I’m capable of feeling feminine and being happy in it. Like currently I’m VERY femme vibes and I’m comfortable with it. I’ve found a happy medium. Will I ever grow my hair rapunzel long again and flaunt around like I’m a cottage core princess? No. That’s just not me. Ironically enough I love that aesthetic I just know it isn’t ME. I’m way more rough around the edges. And that’s okay. I’m learning to stop trying and to just BE.
I’m excited to see how my marriage will feel after coming back together. We weren’t in a super strong place a few months ago. I always knew we have a solid foundation but there’s always so much to work on. Most of it comes from the inside of either of us. There was so much lack of being people. I think most new parents go through that but nobody wants to talk about that.
The first year of parenting is supposed to be some magical quirky shit show that everyone has a good wholesome laugh about. When in reality it’s just a flaming messy shit HOLE that you laugh about otherwise you will cry about it. But you end up crying regardless.
Anyways. The bottom line is. I’m ready to fucking move on. Move OUT. And go forward. This is just a little mile marker for me to say “you did it! you got through those dreaded 8 weeks!”

chris Lamb is a property developer and investor located in St. Catharine’s, Ontario, Canada. He is a first-generation builder that’s enthusiastic and excited for new opportunities. His passion allows him to work around the clock. He is interested in building affordable housing communities and investment properties in the Niagara Region.
A graduate of Brock University with a B.A. in Political Economy, Chris set his sights on a post graduate degree in International Business Management from Niagara College.
Currently, he works under Revel Realty in Niagara Falls with a fun a compassionate group of people. Design, style, and efficient building processes drive his job sites to ensure timeliness and economic growth.
He enjoys meeting new people and exploring new environments. He is always seeking further experience and advice from others knowing everyone has knowledge to give, so feel free to reach out.
In the last few years, what lifestyle, habit, or behavior change has had the biggest positive impact on your life?
I have always been passionate about a healthy lifestyle. Knowing where my food comes from, how its cooked, exercise, and fitness have always been habitual priorities. However, more recently with working long hours and less sleep, I have had to focus more on mental behaviours and changes for good health. These are activities that decompress rather than build and grow. Meditation when the sunrise rises, keeping my phone off, when I wake up and go to sleep, have all changed my mental health positively. Although in these times I may not be productive it allows me to be even more dialed when I come back to work.
When you feel unfocused, what do you do?
This answer lies in parallel to my former answer. The most obvious response is to drink coffee, eliminate distractions and get to work. However more recently I have learned to strictly schedule and divide my time when to work, when to have fun, and when to just “be”.
What advice would you give a smart and ambitious recent college graduate? What advice should they ignore?
Graduation and education are never the end of growth. School teaches you good habits and foundations for getting things done. The world can be much more spontaneous than grad school. Whatever career or passion you fall into, be prepared to be flexible and adaptable to your new roles, as I believe as humans, this is the most valuable trait.
What is one lifestyle trend that excites you?
Singular competitive sports have always excited me the most. Cross-fit, marathons, boxing are all activities I believe that most humble us and accept ourselves. These singular sports have taught me accountability and vulnerability. While I’m not consistent with one trend, rotation of similar sports seems to excite me. I love the ability to track growth in all of the above.
Who has been the biggest influence in your life and why?
My company, Newcastle Communities, has been named of my father’s workplace. Although we don’t often see eye to eye, he challenges me, fearlessly criticizes, and has taught me to work until the job is complete. He is not always amicable, but always good to have around. He is not always happy with my decisions but always supportive. I am often a big picture thinker while he reminds me not to forget the details. My father both tends to balance me and humble me.
What’s one of the biggest life lessons you have learned?
You can’t always expect people to do the right thing but try not to let it stop you from doing so. The world is not always good, so be better. The world is not always easy so be harder to pass. Insulate yourself with good people and positive atmospheres as a defense of what’s to come. I used to pray for easier circumstances but now I ask for more strength and intelligence. Additionally, I have learned creativity is increasingly easier to ignite. While more problems arise in the complex and bureaucratic world we live in, higher access to connectivity and resources is awaiting.
What do you think it is that makes you/someone successful?
The most universal trait of success is the ability to get beaten. This includes being beaten down mentally, emotionally, and physically. I spoke earlier about physical and mental health as this is an absolute must, and top criteria in weekly or possibly daily challenges. Rest and recovery may be needed, but the optimism and creativity to find the answers is most necessary.  The ability to work consistently is of course a high priority yet we often see examples of peoples that work less than 12 or 14 hours a day. I believe more importantly the working hours need to be efficient and dialed in. I often focus on my most highly intellectual tasks in the morning, such as communications, sales, and accounting, and leave physical or less competent work into the afternoon. I schedule my meetings in a similar fashion. Often at nighttime I will catch up on emails, reach out to associates, schedule, and write out my plans and tasks for the days to come. If you plan what you’re doing the night before and write it out, it takes you less time to get going in your “highest intellectual hours”
How do you stay motivated?
I’m fortunate that the tasks of my career are circular in my motivation. As cliche as it sounds, the same challenges the demotivate me, are part of the larger picture that ignites me. I would not suggest finding external motivation for goals you have but rather the goals themselves put you on fire, enough to handle most blows. While motivational tools can be used for your dark mornings, rainy days and cool nights, inner drive is the most constant. Growing up we are often taught to be balanced, or well rounded, and we see it in resumes today. I believe against this. If we give ourselves the opportunity to double down at what we’re good at and mitigate the tasks were not, not only will success and motivation be higher, but joy.
What legacy do you hope to leave behind?
I’ve always wanted to create a business that is lasting rather than a fad, my personal being does not need to be in legacy but rather the company I’m building. I believe building communities will far out last a variety of technology, food and service and fashion companies. Although community builders need to stay adaptive and innovative these companies often have a longer life span. Companies such as Bechtel, Tridel, AECOM, have proved to last various generations. This is very admirable when a company can be passed down from own generation to the next.

What’s one of the biggest life lessons you have learned?
You can’t always expect people to do the right thing but try not to let it stop you from doing so. The world is not always good, so be better. The world is not always easy so be harder to pass. Insulate yourself with good people and positive atmospheres as a defense of what’s to come. I used to pray for easier circumstances but now I ask for more strength and intelligence. Additionally, I have learned creativity is increasingly easier to ignite. While more problems arise in the complex and bureaucratic world we live in, higher access to connectivity and resources is awaiting.
What do you think it is that makes you/someone successful?
The most universal trait of success is the ability to get beaten. This includes being beaten down mentally, emotionally, and physically. I spoke earlier about physical and mental health as this is an absolute must, and top criteria in weekly or possibly daily challenges. Rest and recovery may be needed, but the optimism and creativity to find the answers is most necessary.  The ability to work consistently is of course a high priority yet we often see examples of peoples that work less than 12 or 14 hours a day. I believe more importantly the working hours need to be efficient and dialed in. I often focus on my most highly intellectual tasks in the morning, such as communications, sales, and accounting, and leave physical or less competent work into the afternoon. I schedule my meetings in a similar fashion. Often at nighttime I will catch up on emails, reach out to associates, schedule, and write out my plans and tasks for the days to come. If you plan what you’re doing the night before and write it out, it takes you less time to get going in your “highest intellectual hours”
How do you stay motivated?
I’m fortunate that the tasks of my career are circular in my motivation. As cliche as it sounds, the same challenges the demotivate me, are part of the larger picture that ignites me. I would not suggest finding external motivation for goals you have but rather the goals themselves put you on fire, enough to handle most blows. While motivational tools can be used for your dark mornings, rainy days and cool nights, inner drive is the most constant. Growing up we are often taught to be balanced, or well rounded, and we see it in resumes today. I believe against this. If we give ourselves the opportunity to double down at what we’re good at and mitigate the tasks were not, not only will success and motivation be higher, but joy.
What legacy do you hope to leave behind?
I’ve always wanted to create a business that is lasting rather than a fad, my personal being does not need to be in legacy but rather the company I’m building. I believe building communities will far out last a variety of technology, food and service and fashion companies. Although community builders need to stay adaptive and innovative these companies often have a longer life span. Companies such as Bechtel, Tridel, AECOM, have proved to last various generations. This is very admirable when a company can be passed down from own generation to the next.

do you have any advice for a high school senior who wants to make the most of their last year of high school? asking for a friend :)
hi darling! I think the things I remember most from my senior year (though it was only two years ago that it started) can be summarized in, “crazy busy, crazy stressful, but at times, crazy fun.” Here’s to making the most of it, and maintaining health while you do so!
This is going to be combination masterpost and advice post, because I’ve accumulated a lot on this subject and I have a loooot to say. 
Also this is heavily based off of the assumption you’re pursuing higher education, but some of these things still apply/can be tweaked.
table of contents:
i. academics
ii. social life
iii. personal health
i. 𝓪𝓬𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓶𝓲𝓬𝓼
a. grades
They’re important for your future if your plan is to go to college or academy, but they’re not the whole world. (see social life and personal health)
I’m not a big fan of the “3-to-1 rule” or other such things that tell you “study for this amount of time no matter what” because it’s important for you to understand what comes naturally to you and what you need further clarification on. Some classes are going to take up less of your time than others.
The best you can do on a given day isn’t necessarily 100%. Sometimes your best that day is 90%, 80%, 60%. “try your best” isn’t “your best ever” so don’t push yourself for 100s every time for the expense of categories ii and iii.
A lot of people (at least in places like where I went to high school) who are hung up on the stress of competition and the need to be The Best™ are going to ask you for grades. It’s going to be everywhere. Assignment grades, test grades, SATs, ACTs, (if you’re not in the US, the equivalents of your state, regional, or national standardized tests), entrance exams, et cetera, et cetera. I know it’s tempting to fall into the anxiety of whether you measure up, but here’s a quick tip: even if you think you did well/above average, you can keep it private. It infuriated my classmates when I wouldn’t share, because I was comfortable with how I competed with myself and didn’t care what my peers thought of my scores. 
When you’re someone as dedicated to studying as I am, you might get a lot of “oh, you got that grade because you’re you” (the underlying implication being that it’s natural or the work is easy for you, which was not the case for me) or “ha! I got higher than (name)! I measure up!” This is a lot of their own biases and insecurity talking and the best way not to be affected is not to buy into it. Again, this is based on my own experience.
 I really cannot emphasize extra credit enough because some of my teachers threw it around like candy and some of them barely drizzled a little in at intervals, but either way it really saved me when it came to rounding my grades up.
It never hurts to have a grade tracker if you’re concerned, you don’t get graded by total points accumulation/have a weighted system, and/or don’t have an easy way to access your grades online throughout the year.
find your study strategy/ies for each class and stick to it/them. It won’t necessarily be the same. I’m a primarily visual learner, and it really, really helps for most things, but I still need rote memorization for subjects with a lot of vocabulary, like medicine or languages.

prioritizing that crazy to do list (the abcde method) by @eintsein
a comphrensive guide to anki (flashcards online) by @studyingstudent
a stash of tiny study tips by @acalmstudiousfirecracker
and much much more on my #studyref tag.
b. extracurriculars
These I think matter (though I’m biased) more than grades, because they’re what shape you and your experience. Most of the students at my university had grades like mine, but it’s the places I frequented and the people to whom I devoted my time that formed my sense of self. I have so many skills, anecdotes, and ideas that I’ve gained from my extracurricular work.
If you have any you’ve stuck with since early in high school and you still like, keep ‘em. Quality over quantity. Show jobs or universities you can be dedicated and disciplined, and have stamina to see projects to the end. (I was in 7 and held leadership positions in 4 and it was probably part of the reason why I spent all of senior year on three hours sleep… besides my IB classes of course.)
If you’re not pursuing college immediately or at all (or even if you are), participate in ones that pull you out of your comfort zone and teach you something new.
ii. 𝓼𝓸𝓬𝓲𝓪𝓵 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮
Treat this category as you would anything else in your schedule–requiring time and being a significant priority. Not always at the very top, but still demanding its own attention.
See friends outside of school, for however long or short a period, at least once every week to two weeks. This can include extracurricular time if you’re pressed.
Schedule time with your family (especially if their lives are also cluttered and hectic) do something dynamic, and also something separate that’s relaxing. One week your family time might be reading in the same room and having gentle conversation or a family dinner; the next might be going out to the movies or taking a hike together. It can be easy to feel taken for granted or to take family for granted.
By the way, this includes “chosen” family if you’re not on great terms with some/all of them. I have experience with this too.
Get. Out. Of. The. House. This plays into “personal health” too! You need a change in rhythm/routine and exposure to the outside. Especially in your winter season. 
I’m one of those people who has to have things scheduled way in advance, so family/curfew/etc permitting, do something a little bit spontaneous, say with only a few hours or a couple days notice. It will make you feel more alive if you’re in a stressful slump.
Communication is really important, especially if you’re stressed. Don’t be afraid to tell people “I am sensitive/hyperreactive to X because Y is putting me on edge right now” or “this triggers X insecurity because I’m anxious about Y.” This goes doubly if you’re struggling with mental illness. Talk to someone you trust. (See “personal health.”)
Don’t give in to peer pressure if you’re spent the time you need with friends and have to excuse yourself for other responsibilities. Balance!
No is equally as important to respected as Yes, no matter what the case.
Respect boundaries but invite people to challenge their comfort zone at their space.
Don’t be broken up if a romantic relationship doesn’t last. It’s senior year. Everything’s changing. Let it.
Also, please don’t be like me and let your summer/your school year be eaten up with relationship drama. I thankfully ended a difficult relationship early (late September) so it wasn’t a huge issue, but I watched people close to me struggle with while also battling the stress of the year.
iii. 𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓽𝓱
mentally
If you’re struggling with mental illness, be aware of your own limits and pace yourself.
Sometimes we feel dull because we need to break routine/stimulate ourselves in a new way. You should have a structure/routine, but it should be flexible enough for you to adapt to changes and listen to what your mind and body are telling you.
The path to self-love must first begin with self-acceptance. If you struggle with self-image or self-esteem issues, you can’t build positivity off a foundation of negativity. You must first level it to neutrality.
Perform check-ups with yourself. This may be in the form of meditation, a diary, therapy, etc. None of these things are a “last resort” but rather a healthy part of building good mental habits.
physically
Exercise! You don’t have to be a star athlete to bring about the benefits. Even a 15 minute jog, 30 minute walk/hike, or 10 minutes of stretching can give you benefits.
On that note! Take! Frequent! Breaks! And please, please google stretches for certain body parts like hands if you do repetitive motion like drawing or writing for a long period of time! You don’t want to push yourself!
Listen to your body and don’t ignore pain, hunger, nausea, fatigue, etc. Respond patiently and with what’s appropriate.
Don’t forget about diet. It’s easy when you’re busy to reach for the quick and nutritionally poor snacks/meals, but it’s really important to set aside time to cook/meal plan or even just throw together a quick snack tray of fruits/crackers/cheeses/etc. It doesn’t have to be instragrammable but you should have a balanced diet that factors in your specific needs, if you have any restrictions, etc.
Change yo pillow case frequently kids, it does wonders for acne.
I cannot stress enough! To! Stay! Hydrated! My goal is eventually eight glasses a day but my minimum is 4-5. I try to have one every meal, especially in college.
Bedtime is important! But more than that, wake up time is important. If you’re trying to adjust your schedule and can only keep one consistent, choose the time you wake up. Eventually your body will naturally become fatigued for the bedtime to match it. It’s how I turned my sleep schedule from 12:00 AM to 8:00 into 9:30 PM to 5:30 AM over the course of one winter break! 
If you’re a morning person, you’re a morning person. If you’re a night owl, you’re a night owl. There’s research now to prove that forcing yourself into a rhythm too extreme for your tendencies can make you feel awful either way.
At the end of the day, you’ve got one goal and one goal only: to look back on this year and be proud of what you’ve achieved and how you’ve grown. You shape your future and choose what matters most in your life!
If there’s anything else you think I’ve missed or you’d like me to cover more in depth/link more posts to, please ask me! I’d be happy to clarify/continue this series! I want to make sure you’re completely satisfied.

Week 1
Weekly Reflection:
Personal Positive: I have been taking rest periods and giving myself naps.
Personal Negative: I have been falling back off of the self-care wagon.
Solution: Continue to be gentle on myself and understand that it’s okay and a MUST to make my health and needs a priority, even if it sometimes inconveniences others.
Parenting Positive: I’ve been spending more willful one-on-one time with Aiden and trying to pay more attention to how much I am on my phone and what kind of messages that is sending to him when he communicates his needs and wants with me.
Parenting Negative: I still struggle to stay engaged with my child without getting bored and after that special time is over I am more apt to lose my patience with him and the frustration shows because I’d rather be doing something else/taking care of my needs and goals that have been put on hold for a long time in order to keep him entertained or happy and I have sensory issues when his grandparents are around and try to control him and criticize my parenting in a passive-aggressive way.
Solution: Focus on the happiness he gets from that special one-on-one time and grow a special bond and schedule it in. Put myself in the schedule and let him know in advance that I will be taking care of myself and that it’s important to practice self-care even if it means he might have a tantrum or neediness. Let him be unhappy, as I’m a people pleaser and it can sometimes be a flaw. Also, be more gentle and understanding. Patience is important and communicating and modeling the exercise “I feel _____, because _____”. I need to pass more taxing tasks on if my stress levels are high and it is impacting my mental health, because what may seem a significant burden to me might not be very bad for someone else.
Relationship Positive: We made more time for each other and had a lot of better days together playing board games and frisbee golf. I liked that I felt important and like I was a priority.
Relationship Negative: I felt like we were both kind of petty sometimes with sharp little comments and we get a little catty with each other when we are both stressed out and lacking sleep. I remember thinking it doesn’t feel good to be talked to like that and I feel bad for some of the things I say too.
Solution: Stand by communication and use the same emotional model I use for Aiden as well. Continue to make time for each other and help out with the little things, recognizing we are both running on E. Try to be more careful with my words and realize what they could mean for our relationship and how they could change them. Put our relationship first more often, so that he realizes he IS a priority and that he matters to me.
Family Positive: We spent a lot more time together as a family and really enjoyed it!
Family Negative: I know sometimes we could both be doing a lot more to help Aiden and sometimes we tend to overlook basic needs like feeding healthier food because we are burnt out or taking the time to give him a shower that isn’t rushed. There is a lot of time that Aiden spends distracted by something or complaining instead of enjoying activities so it makes it harder to enjoy. but we could praise his good behaviors more often and stick to consequences for punishment consistently to give him a better foundation and understanding of the behaviors we do and don’t want. We both have a problem with our phones and struggle to live in the moment and be as attentive as we probably should be.
Solution: We should praise positive behavior and stick to consequences for punishment consistently to give him a better foundation and understanding of the behaviors we do and don’t want. We both could work on getting enough sleep to make sure our stress is reduced and focus on what his needs are that we might be forgetting to take into consideration of his feelings. We could work on taking care of ourselves so he learns to understand about the importance of other people too and give him better tools to understand why it’s important to stay healthy and happy and he we can try to do that.

BACKSTORY and FITNESS PROGRAM
BACKSTORY:
I have always struggled with my weight. I was never overweight to a point where I would have troubles with my health but it did limit some of my abilities and it lowered my self-esteem. I was really overweight as a child but then my rapid growth caused me to look slimmer than before and I was only round. Basically I was and still pretty much am skinny fat.
About two years ago I decided I wanted to become skinnier, so I started working out more. I realized now that being skinny is far from my goal and I truly want to be healthy and have a strong body but working out did give me solid foundation on which I explored my interests in sports, which I never liked before. I found the ones I actually enjoyed and the ones I did not enjoy quite that much. I started losing some fat. But then I became lazy and the fat came back.
This repeated itself many times throughout those two years. I slowly realized my biggest problem were my eating habits. I was really picky when it came to food and I always chose the wrong one. I also binged, then ate very little for a while and binged again. I even contributed to the weight gain with drinking smaller amounts of water than I should have and my sleeping schedule was all over the place. I realized only working out won't do that much. At least not for me.
I slowly started incorporating better foods into my diet and changing up my lifestyle but I never committed enough to see it through until the end and obtain obvious results. I was also very confused where and how to start, because there is so much information out there about what is right and wrong. The main problem was that I didn't give any program I created for myself time so that I could actually see results and see if it works.
 RIGHT NOW:
Now I want to stick to my plan for longer than one or two months at a time. I want to achieve results that will last and work on my confidence too. I am currently 173 cm tall (which is roughly 5,8 feet) and I weigh 65 kg (roughly 143 pounds). Though I am tall I feel like I am quite heavy since I do not have that much muscle mass so the lbs are higher than I wish they would be, because of fat. I have stubborn belly fat while I'm not really visibly round in any other areas of my body as much. Of course you cannot spot reduce (I will write about that in one of my future posts too) so I will have to lower my body fat percentage and gain a lot of muscle mass in general to see the belly fat disappearing too, since I am striving for a stronger not skinnier body.
Right now I'm in a good place, though I still have many things to focus on to perfect my daily routine. I've been working since the start of the year (6th January, 2020) and lost 4,5kg (roughly 10 pounds) in five weeks. I constructed a workout and diet plan for me as well as I could, since I haven't got that much control over a lot of things going on in my life because I'm still in school and have work to focus on besides my fitness goals, though I am trying to make them a bigger priority in my life.
Some people said that this program seemed a bit challenging for a beginner when they took a first look at it. That's why I wrote a short paragraph in which I spoke about my work out habits above. They are not that bad and I tend to work out quite a lot so I’m not in such a bad shape - food will be a bigger issue for me. If the program seems though for you and you do your workouts completely differently, I encourage you to continue doing it your way. The same goes for if you think it is too easy. I designed this the way I did, because I know what I am capable of right now and what I would like to be capable of in the future.
 MY PROGRAM:
Duration: 8 months (until the end of August)
Goal: Build strength and muscle mass, achieve a flatter belly and leaner physique, gain confidence, build better habits
 Workouts:
I've tried many workouts on the internet already and I decided to follow some good fitness channels on Youtube and follow their work out videos, since I don’t have time to go to an actual gym. I will link them in some future posts. I made a weekly workout schedule too.
On Mondays I do half an hour to an hour of yoga targeting my core (abs), on Tuesdays I do body weight exercises targeting the legs and the glutes, on Wednesday I have another day of body weight exercises targeting the abs and on Fridays I have weightlifting to strengthen my arms and back.
I also have one active rest day every week when I am allowed to do nothing or just some light cardio. That is Thursday for me, because I arrive home late (around 7 p.m.) and it's the day that is the most tiring for me in the whole week.
On weekends I have one scheduled full body workout on Saturdays. I usually do pilates or some HIIT workouts. On Sundays I can take a day of if I feel like it, because I don't want to push myself over the edge but if I feel alright I do an hour of cardio.
Speaking of cardio, it is one of my favourite workout categories because I love to run, dance, hike, swim… and these are all workouts that fall into the category. I try to do cardio at least three times a week even if it isn’t scheduled (just because I actually enjoy doing it) but if the weather is nice I take a walk everyday anyway, since I like some peace to think and be alone.
Through the week I work out at around 6 p.m. and on the weekends in the morning or at least before noon.
 Dieting:
For me it is really hard to meal prep since I am in high school and I have a lot of my meals prepared for me by other people. I evaluated my eating habits and realized I consume too much sugar and carbs and my diet lacks fiber. I can’t completely follow a low-carb diet but I will be aiming towards consuming less carbs and try to eat food which is low in sugar and high in protein and fiber.
I also challenged myself to eliminate all sugar I could from my diet for at least 40 days but I can happily say that I'm already on day 45 (I started on the 6th of January) – I decided to just continue with it and try to reach 70 days. I planned it for a long time and I can say I am quite satisfied with the outcome. I've tried including a lot of healthy foods, vegetables and high protein foods and minimize foods with a lot of carbs but there are days when I just don't have the option to eat anything but something high in carbs or not as healthy as I would wish it would be. 
If you want to, I will definitely write a post about what I eat in a week after I test it out, see how effective it is and perfect it completely. 
I have already tried intermittent fasting (will be explained in future posts) in the past once and it worked miracles for me. I felt more energized, way less bloated and I felt better in general. I will incorporate it into my diet again I decided to do a 16:8 ratio – I eat in a time frame of 8 hours. That equals 16 hours of fasting where I don't consume any food I just drink a cup of green tea in the morning.
 Drink:
I used to drink very small amounts of water throughout the day but I carry my water bottle with me everywhere I go now and I try to drink as much as possible. These are my main rules for drinking:
-drink 2 water bottles of water a day
-one cup of green tea in the morning (or lemonade)
-don't drink milk in the evening
 Sleep:
I try to go to sleep before 11 pm and get up around 6 or 7 am. For me it is pretty hard, because I am a night owl, but I do try, since I see a big difference in my energy and ability to work efficiently throughout the day.
…
That is how I designed my workout and diet program. All details will be specified in further chapters since it is still a bit rough around the edges (especially the diet part), but I cannot meal prep since it is really hard for me to prepare my own food. 
I thought I should explain what and how I'm doing everything, since I will be writing about it. This is a basic overview and I didn't really go into detail. If you want me to be more precise, especially about my eating habits and how I'm trying to change them, I will make a post about it. This is just my story and my program. I can't guarantee any of these things would work for you or your body but maybe you will get any idea or find some useful information. You now know my story and my goals.
I always struggled with my self-esteem and body image but I am on the path to changing everything and I want to share the lessons I'm learning and my story with you. I hope it motivates you and you can see you are not alone. You should also remember that even though my measurements and fitness goals don't match yours and you maybe see different numbers than me, you aren't working any less hard or doing anything wrong nor should you be discouraged. We are all on our individual journeys and you have the exact same chance of reaching your goals as I do or anyone else reading this blog.
Whenever I start doubting myself I just avert my thoughts somewhere else because I am positive we all can do this. Remember to love yourself no matter your weight. We are all beautiful and what we are doing and the changes we're making are only to better ourselves physically and mentally but our weight or appearance doesn't define us nor does it define our worth.
Thank you for joining me on this journey!

Why we should be more active and how do we live a more active lifestyle?
Tumblr media
Today, although we live a very busy life with work, children and other responsibilities, our lifestyle has become more sedentary compared to our ancestors. It seems like a contradiction to associate both a busy and sedentary lifestyle but unfortunately, in combination with high consumption of calorie-dense foods to fuel our busy lifestyles, it has led to serious health concerns within ourselves and more importantly our children.
What are the benefits to being more active?
According to Dr. Troiano of the NIDDK, benefits of being active include:
- Reducing risks of developing cancer and heart diseases
Regular exercise will strengthen your heart and improves your circulation which will help lower risk of heart diseases such as high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and heart attack.
- Helps maintain our blood sugar and blood pressure at healthy levels to prevent development of type 2 diabetes and blood pressure disorders
Regular Exercise can lower blood sugar levels and optimize body’s utilization of insulin which will decrease your risk for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
- Improvements in mental health and sleep
During exercise, your body releases endorphins that improves your mood, lower stress levels and anxiety.
- Healthy bones, muscles and joints
Regular exercise helps children build strong bones, helps aging adults slow bone density loss while they age and promotes hypertrophy of muscles.
- Live a longer, healthier life
Exercising reduces risks of all forms of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes type II, etc. So naturally, you will live a longer and healthier life.

How can we incorporate small lifestyle changes to become more active?           
Tumblr media
Staying active is important in keeping our bodies healthy and strong. Living a busy life, it’s not easy for many people to stay active. Many working people or even students sit in front of their computers or books all day without getting up for a walk unless they’re getting lunch or going home. Even after getting a lunch, they would eat at their desk and not move around. This can lead to obesity or other health issues. (Medlineplus, 2019)
- After a lunch meal, it’s good to take small walks around the block or even if it’s for a couple of minutes to stretch your limbs or walk off a heavy lunch.
- Instead of fighting to fit inside an elevator, take the stairs instead to incorporate minor activity and it’s also great for the environment!
Sometimes a stressful day at work or school can be relieved by taking a walk to clear your mind.

Getting the right amount of sleep can have tremendous effects of your health
All of us have complained about sleep at one point in time. If only we could get another hour or two, its always the same. It can be hard to find 7 to 9 hours in a day just for sleep, which is the recommendation by the National Sleep Foundation for young adults (18-25 years old) & adults (26-64 years old). Just one night of poor sleep can affect the body’s metabolism. A peptide named ghrelin is released from the stomach which stimulates appetite, feeling hungry and overeating. Continuous poor sleeping habits have the potential of leading to obesity and diabetes (type 2).
Helpful Tips in Getting More Sleep:
Tumblr media
It’s impossible to go from a 4-hour sleep schedule into a full 7 - 9-hour sleep schedule overnight. One useful trick is
- Take it one day at a time. Adding small amounts to your sleep schedule: additional 15 minutes one night, then another 15 minutes the next. Eventually becomes 1 whole hour added.

How can maintaining an active lifestyle impact us psychologically?    
 Maintaining an active lifestyle and making time to incorporate physical activities and exercise can be challenging. However, once people begin to prioritize it, they begin to see how positive of an impact it can have psychologically. 
Tumblr media
- One of the areas of impact is a person’s mood. Exercise is referred to by many as a mood enhancer. Although the act of initiating exercise can be difficult, most people feel a positive change in their mood after only a few minutes of exercising. According to an article published by the American Psychological Association, written by Kristen Weir, exercise and depression are directly linked. In the article, it is stated that exercise can help cope with and treat long-term depression. Weir’s article also tells us that people with depression who begin to maintain an active lifestyle usually become less depressed than those who are not active. Exercising consistently over a long period of time can in many cases effectively treat depression and is comparable to the use of antidepressants in some cases. For people who may be suffering with depression, whether it’s mild or severe, implementing a consistent routine of daily activity can make a big difference, even if it is as small as a 15 minute jog.

- Being active also reduces Anxiety.
Tumblr media
Exercising is a proven way to de-stress and reduce Anxiety. According to the National Academy of sports medicine a 10 minute walk around the block can reduce people anxiety and stress levels; adding more focus, more alert, and overall better feeling. when you get up and get active your body chemicals change. you release “Endorphins” that are chemical neurotransmitters that communicate signals from one neuron to the next. Their analgesic qualities make you feel good and relax. Another study done by the Chicago Fire dept. showed that the more you turn exercise into a habit, the less anxiety and depression was reported. their study took 20 firefighters and EMT’S and had half workout and the other half not, the half that worked out felt more prepared and less anxious while the others didn’t sleep as well and had more anxiety issues.For anyone that works a stressful job, or a busy life; 10-15 minutes a day of exercise can make you feel a lot better!!
Tumblr media
Exercise Examples:
- 10 Minute walk around your block.
- 2x a week of HIIT training 10-20 minutes each session
- 3x a week of 30 minute weight training.
- 5x a week of moderate to low intensity cardio training ( bike, walk, treadmill, rower, ETC) lasting 20-25 minutes
The Busy Mom's Workout Tips
Tumblr media
 In this blog I decided to write from my personal experience. As a full-time employee, full time nursing student and a mother of two little munchkins, I think it is extremely important to find time to exercise, even though it’s not easy at all. I’m on my feet at work, seating down at school and running around when I’m at home, one would think that’s way enough movement already. But, only by exercising (just couple of hours per week) I can still be up and running. I have some tips to share for a busy mom:
 1)      No need to go to gym (saves a lot of time), you can do tons of exercises at home too; 
 2)      No special equipment needed (mat and yourself);
 3)      No need to arrange time (as soon as you have a minute- exercise!); 
 4)      You can find any fitness routine on YouTube (FREE!);
 5)      “Before you think about the reasons not to be active today, just do it.”  
Fitting fitness into a busy schedule is hard and exercise is often the first thing to get scratched from the calendar. But, with a little forethought and planning, it’s doable. When I’m strong on the outside, I feel like Wonder Woman on the inside.

Parkinson's Caregiving
Our guest on todays show is Elizabeth "Liz" Coy.  She is a full time Business Development Executive, and now also a caregiver for her dad who has developed Parkinson's.  
People with Parkinson’s disease rely on caregivers for a wide range of support — from driving them to doctors’ appointments to helping them get dressed. As the disease progresses, dependence on caregivers increases substantially.
Caregivers can help people with Parkinson’s adjust to the disease’s effects on the body. And knowing that a loved one is cared for can help the entire family adjust to the diagnosis.
But the person with Parkinson’s disease isn’t the only one who should be cared for.
Caregivers must take care of themselves too. Being a caregiver can be a complicated — as well as a physically and emotionally draining — experience.
Here are 12 ways to handle your role as a caregiver without neglecting your own well-being.
  1. Educate yourself
As caregiver, it’s important for you to become familiar with all aspects of the disease. This will ensure better care for the patient and easier transitions for you as the disease progresses.
It will take time and continual effort for you to learn about the many varied Parkinson’s symptoms and how to manage them. As time goes on, you will also need to learn about medication regimens, which can be complex.
Several organizations, including The National Alliance for Caregiving and the Family Caregiver Alliance, provide assistance and care specifically to caregivers. These caregiver support groups offer:
education seminars
enrichment resources
connections to other individuals in similar situations
2. Prepare
Parkinson’s disease begins very slowly. It typically starts with a small tremor in one hand or difficulty walking or moving. Because of this, the role of caregiving is often thrust on a person with very little warning or a chance for preparation.
But once the diagnosis is made, you will lessen future stress by preparing now for the road ahead. Much of the work can wait, but you will want to start thinking now about the basics, such as:
Who will do food shopping and prepare meals?
How will medications be stored and administered?
What will have to change in the home setup to keep things safe and easy?
Of course, everything doesn’t have to change at once. And your loved one can probably share in a lot of it in the beginning. Talk with your doctors and other medical professionals about when and how much to restructure your lives.
As your loved one’s Parkinson’s progresses, their mental abilities will likely diminish. They will be less able to make decisions and plan.
At that point, prioritizing planning ahead will help both of you. Using an app may be helpful to make daily schedules as well as reminders for appointments, visitors, and special occasions.
3. Be involved
When a loved one is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, treatment for the disease should begin almost immediately. This is a time of major change not only for the person with Parkinson’s but also for you, the caregiver.
Doctors strongly encourage caregivers to attend doctors’ appointments. Your input may help your doctor understand:
how the disease is progressing
how the treatments are working
what side effects are occurring
As Parkinson’s disease progresses, dementia may make the patient’s memory worse. By going to the appointment, you can help remind your loved one of what the doctor said or instructed. Your role during this time is especially important to the treatment plan.
​4. Establish a team
Many family members, friends, and neighbors will be happy to help if you need to run errands or just take a break. Keep a handy list of people you can call on occasionally when you need help.
Next, designate which people are the best to call on for specific situations. Some people may be more helpful with certain tasks, like grocery shopping, mailing packages, or picking up children from school.
​
5. Develop a support group
Caring for a loved one can be deeply satisfying. It’s a chance for your family to draw together as you face the challenges of Parkinson’s disease head-on.
However, providing emotional and physical care for someone with an illness can become stressful and, at times, overwhelming. Balancing your personal life with caregiving can be difficult. Many caregivers will face periods of feeling guilty, angry, and abandoned.
Of course, you don’t have to experience this alone. Support from other family members or professionals can help:
relieve stress
reevaluate approaches to treatment
offer new perspective on the caregiving relationship
Ask your doctor or your local hospital’s health outreach office for contact information for a Parkinson’s disease caregiving group. The person you’re caring for will likely also benefit from being part of a support group.
Support groups allow for open communication with other people facing the same struggles. These groups also provide an opportunity to share suggestions, ideas, and tips among the group members.

  6. Seek professional assistance
Especially in the latter stages of Parkinson’s disease, caring for your loved one may become more difficult. When this happens, you may need to seek professional care from a care facility or organization.
Certain symptoms and side effects of Parkinson’s disease may be best treated with professional assistance or home health nurses, or in a nursing home environment. These symptoms and side effects may include:
difficulty walking or balancing
dementia
hallucinations
severe depression
  7. Hire outside help if you need it
At some point, you may feel that both you and your support network are stretched thin. You’re tired, and you don’t feel comfortable asking friends and family to pick up the slack.
But the yard really needs upkeep. And the house isn’t as clean as it should be. And suddenly, it seems, you’re totally out of food, as well as the energy to go grocery shopping.
Hiring a gardener, a house cleaner, or a grocery delivery service can help if this is an option for you. Your physical well-being will thank you for it.
  8. Build a good relationship
Caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s can place a great deal of stress on your relationship. A person you love is changing both physically and mentally, and both of you are needing to adapt.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation recommends keeping communication as open as possible and being flexible with your changing roles. Be aware that some changes, such as new apathy or irritability, is not directed personally at you.
If both you and your loved one are willing, consider consulting a therapist together. You can work through any of the anger, denial, or upset you are feeling, and find ways to keep your relationship healthy and loving.
  9. Manage your stress
As caregiver, you are going to feel stress. You may feel fear, anger, helplessness, and more as you meet new challenges every day.
It’s important for you to know what triggers your stress and develop practices to manage your emotions and release them effectively. Journal writing, going for a walk, or calling a friend can all help.
Other coping skills might include:
Do something you enjoy. Tend the garden, talk to a neighbor, or read a book. Take at least a few minutes every day to enjoy yourself.
Try deep breathing. Even spending 1 minute taking 10 or so deep breaths can give your mind a rest and your energy a boost.
Get a massage. Getting a massage can release stress and give you the much-needed sense of being cared for.
Try a TV show. It’s OK. Be a couch potato for a half-hour or so. Watch your favorite TV show. It may help distract you from difficulties.
Exercise. This is one of the best stress-busters there is. Make time for it and find one you enjoy.
  10. Be realistic
As a Parkinson’s caregiver, it is sometimes hard to remain rooted in the here and now.
In one moment, you might harbor hope that your loved one will somehow miraculously return to normal and be themselves again. In the next moment, you might think differently.
These are the times to take a few deep breaths and focus on how things truly are in this moment. Ungrounded fears and hopes can distract you from carrying on with life as it is.
If you need it, professional help can teach you tools and tips for how to do this. Mindfulness training, talk therapy, and meditation are all avenues you might explore.
  11. Pay attention
The Parkinson’s Foundation points out that part of caring for your own mental and emotional well-being comes from noticing and understanding the changes both you and your loved one are experiencing.
The physical abilities of your loved one will change over time — and sometimes very suddenly. It is up to you to notice the change since they may not. By paying attention to these changes and managing them, you can make the road ahead easier for both of you.
You also have to keep a close eye on your own changes. ResearchTrusted Source shows that Parkinson’s caregivers frequently experience depression and anxiety, and their quality of sleep often diminishes.
  12. Care for the caregiver
Whether you’re a spouse, parent, child, or friend, your role as a caregiver is to be on call 24/7. You’ll likely feel as if your entire world revolves around your loved one, while your personal life takes a backseat.
ResearchTrusted Source shows that caregiver burden is high among Parkinson’s caregivers, who likely face emotional, social, physical, and financial challenges as a result.
As the demands of caring for a loved one increase, many caregivers neglect their own health. It’s important to be proactive and take care of yourself. Keep current with your own medical appointments and healthcare needs.
Other things you can do to stay in shape include:
eat a balanced diet
exercise regularly
get proper sleep
schedule social activities for yourself
get temporary respite care when you need it
  Takeaway
Caregiving for someone you love who has Parkinson’s is a major undertaking that can bring changes and challenges to every aspect of your life.
You will likely face emotional and physical hurdles, but also joy and the pleasure of helping someone you love. A brief prescription for succeeding as a caregiver includes:
educating yourself
asking for help when you need it
taking care of yourself
Don’t be shy about asking your medical providers, caregiving organizations, friends, and family for help. You need to do everything you can not only to help your loved one, but to also keep yourself healthy and positive as well. (credits to Healthline)

Inner Healing Rarely Comes From a Medicine Bottle
Tumblr media
Confronting the pain … the loss … often alone helps you see that hope is still there.
My nephew is following the path of the ancients when life takes a devastating turn… the pilgrimage, the sojourn, an odyssey a journey to reconcile his desire for joy in life in the face of mind numbing loss…
In the early morning hours of the 28th of February, 2021 the Rich family who followed after my father, Roland Rich; my wife, my three sons, their wives, my grandchildren, my sister’s son, my brother, his wife, his son, his daughter, his daughter in law, his grandchildren all were peacefully sleeping through the last moments of the world as we knew it. By 9:30am of the 28th, the existence of what we all knew was gone, ripped from our grasp in the form of a violent, horrific car accident that claimed the life of Matthew Paul Rich. Matthew, my brother’s son was twenty four, a husband and father of two little children was no more … the twenty five and more members of his family plus dozens of close friends, in a year where death had been all too prevalent due to a pandemic of historical proportions, were now dealing with a personal loss of a young who was a boundless source of joy to all who knew him. Nothing would ever be the same. But, …. This isn’t Matthew’s story …
No, this isn’t a story about Matthew Rich, though the laughter and joy he brought could fill volumes. I’m not writing about his beautiful wife and lovely children. These words have little to do with a father who had lost his son. This is the story of Matthew’s brother and best friend… my nephew Cory Patrick Rich, whose loss of Matthew created a unique devastation of spirit yet, awakened in him a refusal to relinquish the happiness in life so often provided by his brother.
Tumblr media
Cory was born on the 12th of July, 1991 to Brian and Vickie Keith-Rich in Conroe, Tx. He was and is still to some degree a loner but in a healthy manner. He graduated from Klein Oak High School in 2009. My nephew is intense… he LOVES his family, he loves deep intense conversations with them, which is a trait directly inherited from my dad, his grandfather, Roland Rich. His intensity also showed sometimes in his temper, “il peperoncino fa scaglie nel culo,” and like many young men who are eighteen or nineteen, lacked direction… and it caused him a little trouble. Despite this, Cory has always shown the ability to make sound decisions in stressful times. To get some focus, Cory enlisted in the United States Army and served in Kuwait during time of war. He knew that many of his family members whom he deeply respected followed a long tradition of military service: his grandfather was a twelve year Navy veteran; his cousin, my son, is a USMC veteran; his step brother served in the Army for 8 years; his second cousin on his fathers side was in the United States Navy SOG (Navy Seals); a great uncle who retired from the USAF; and an great uncle who served in the Navy during WWII… and on back through time to the American Revolution. The discipline and focus was exactly what he needed … Cory knew that.
Tumblr media
When he left the army he, like many young men, pondered what would they do with their lives, but he had a rock that kept him grounded: his brother Matthew. Often brothers have rocky relationships. My brother Brian and I have been known to butt heads, some have distance that is sad to see. My sons love to provoke each other and argue much too much. Then there’s Matthew and Cory. Did they fight? Yes. Did they argue? Yes. They were, for much of their lives, raised apart as many children are due to divorce, but there was something special going on there. I have seen men who were close brothers; I have seen brothers who were best friends, but rarely have I seen many who were incredibly close brothers and best friends to each other. Separately, they were funny guys and opposite sides of the same coin. Matt was laid back, cordial, a peacemaker and genuinely put everyone at ease; Cory is curious, a seeker of ideas and often a bit hot headed. They played off each other’s strengths and assuaged their weaknesses. They looked out for each and dreamed dreams with each other. My brother and I haven’t always gotten along, but now, at 55, we’ve found a commonality of thought, even though that tension lurks just beneath the surface. Matt and Cory were a team … a powerful entity when together. Then, with the precision of the marking of a calendar… they weren’t.
This piece will not rehash the horrid details of that awful morning, or share the agony of a young widow or the pain of a mother who lost her baby. This is a story of the path of a lost young man. Dr. Elisabeth Kubler Ross in her timeless study on how humans cope with grief, wrote there were five stages we go through when we lose a loved one. I observed Cory experience four of them: denial, anger, bargaining, and depression. The final stage: acceptance was stopped by an emotional brick wall. In all honesty, Cory, Brian, me (although my pain was to a much lesser extent) did all the right things to cope and some of the negative things you would expect. We argued, we cried, we drank too much, we self medicated, we had nightmares….remember my mention of Cory’s intensity? It was as you’d expect. My brother answered the call of being the patriarch and set the example for his family, I was there to help him when being the solid foundation was too much. Cory jumped in and took on the role Matt’s kids desperately needed. He spent his free time with them, took the son to soccer practice, helped Matt’s widow cope, comforted his mother … he showed a maturity and responsibility beyond expectation. All the while, Cory was so very much alone in processing his loss while attending to his loved ones.
Tumblr media
My brother wisely planned a family trip to California to visit his wife’s son. The intentions were perfect, a family taking a step towards normalcy. From my own struggles with mental and emotional health, I learned that when situations approach a calm, the deep seeded pain that you haven’t been able to face, will rise to the surface as the progress that has been made will have your mind tell you, “ok, it’s time to deal with more stuff.” This happened on their trip. I told my brother that this wasn’t a setback but a step forward to deal with a loss that no human could take on all at once. Cory had taken no time for himself. He was spinning his wheels and the pain would not abate. I mentioned earlier that Cory had shown sound decision making in the past during times of emotional distress, he was about to embark on what I view, as a courageous, healthy, well thought out, wisdom beyond his years path towards healing. Cory was going on the road with his little dog Chewie in search of peace.
Tumblr media
Like Homer, Ibn Battuta, Strabo, Xuan Zang, Thomas Jefferson, Isabella Byrd, Michael Palin, Jack Kerouac or Anthony Bourdain … Cory was not going on vacation, Cory was not going to “party.” The travelers mentioned above were seeking truth, understanding, community…Cory was going to find a way to live with the loss of his little brother. All to often, we will wallow in self pity and depression, harm ourselves or drop out of living altogether. Very few of us have the courage to go headlong and face our fear and pain and conquer it by seeing others in our world contend with tragedy and be inspired. To seek comfort traveling alone and realizing that none of us are truly alone is a daunting task. I would say that most people have dreamed of hitting the open road to “find ourselves “ and carrying a little regret at not having the balls to do it. Cory has no time schedule, no mapped out path, no preplanned itinerary…his heart and Chewie’s needed pit stops are his only considerations. Well, in truth, there is one destination and hundreds of ways to get there. Matt went on his honeymoon with Rachel his wife to Colorado. He was in awe of the beauty of the vistas. They returned home and, of course, he made a pact with his brother, “Cory brah, promise me that we will climb Pikes Peak together.” Cory promised… Matt is there on the summit ready to embrace his brother and tell him, “it’s ok dude, I’m good, thank you for caring for my family. I’m ok brah, go live …go live…go live …for me.”
Tumblr media
My nephew has been gone for three weeks. His path on the map looks like pretzels. He’s been to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, West Virginia, Missouri and numerous places. He is heading towards Pikes Peak today …something powerful is going to happen …and Cory Patrick Rich had the courage to face it. I know this entry in my blog seems quite incomplete. “Where’s the details of the place he visited? What’d he eat? How’s he doing?” are questions that are being asked. I’ll let you know when he gets back. I also kept many of the names of Matt’s family unwritten so as to focus on one man’s personal sojourn. Each of us have a story through this nightmare we’ve experienced, but this is Cory’s and he still has many miles to travel before he can rest.
"Kathy, I'm lost", I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America*

Chris Lamb is a property developer and investor located in St. Catharine’s, Ontario, Canada. He is a first-generation builder that’s enthusiastic and excited for new opportunities. His passion allows him to work around the clock. He is interested in building affordable housing communities and investment properties in the Niagara Region.
A graduate of Brock University with a B.A. in Political Economy, Chris set his sights on a post graduate degree in International Business Management from Niagara College.
Currently, he works under Revel Realty in Niagara Falls with a fun a compassionate group of people. Design, style, and efficient building processes drive his job sites to ensure timeliness and economic growth.
He enjoys meeting new people and exploring new environments. He is always seeking further experience and advice from others knowing everyone has knowledge to give, so feel free to reach out.
In the last few years, what lifestyle, habit, or behavior change has had the biggest positive impact on your life?
I have always been passionate about a healthy lifestyle. Knowing where my food comes from, how its cooked, exercise, and fitness have always been habitual priorities. However, more recently with working long hours and less sleep, I have had to focus more on mental behaviours and changes for good health. These are activities that decompress rather than build and grow. Meditation when the sunrise rises, keeping my phone off, when I wake up and go to sleep, have all changed my mental health positively. Although in these times I may not be productive it allows me to be even more dialed when I come back to work.
When you feel unfocused, what do you do?
This answer lies in parallel to my former answer. The most obvious response is to drink coffee, eliminate distractions and get to work. However more recently I have learned to strictly schedule and divide my time when to work, when to have fun, and when to just “be”.
What advice would you give a smart and ambitious recent college graduate? What advice should they ignore?
Graduation and education are never the end of growth. School teaches you good habits and foundations for getting things done. The world can be much more spontaneous than grad school. Whatever career or passion you fall into, be prepared to be flexible and adaptable to your new roles, as I believe as humans, this is the most valuable trait.
What is one lifestyle trend that excites you?
Singular competitive sports have always excited me the most. Cross-fit, marathons, boxing are all activities I believe that most humble us and accept ourselves. These singular sports have taught me accountability and vulnerability. While I’m not consistent with one trend, rotation of similar sports seems to excite me. I love the ability to track growth in all of the above.
Who has been the biggest influence in your life and why?
My company, Newcastle Communities, has been named of my father’s workplace. Although we don’t often see eye to eye, he challenges me, fearlessly criticizes, and has taught me to work until the job is complete. He is not always amicable, but always good to have around. He is not always happy with my decisions but always supportive. I am often a big picture thinker while he reminds me not to forget the details. My father both tends to balance me and humble me.
What’s one of the biggest life lessons you have learned?
You can’t always expect people to do the right thing but try not to let it stop you from doing so. The world is not always good, so be better. The world is not always easy so be harder to pass. Insulate yourself with good people and positive atmospheres as a defense of what’s to come. I used to pray for easier circumstances but now I ask for more strength and intelligence. Additionally, I have learned creativity is increasingly easier to ignite. While more problems arise in the complex and bureaucratic world we live in, higher access to connectivity and resources is awaiting.
What do you think it is that makes you/someone successful?
The most universal trait of success is the ability to get beaten. This includes being beaten down mentally, emotionally, and physically. I spoke earlier about physical and mental health as this is an absolute must, and top criteria in weekly or possibly daily challenges. Rest and recovery may be needed, but the optimism and creativity to find the answers is most necessary.  The ability to work consistently is of course a high priority yet we often see examples of peoples that work less than 12 or 14 hours a day. I believe more importantly the working hours need to be efficient and dialed in. I often focus on my most highly intellectual tasks in the morning, such as communications, sales, and accounting, and leave physical or less competent work into the afternoon. I schedule my meetings in a similar fashion. Often at nighttime I will catch up on emails, reach out to associates, schedule, and write out my plans and tasks for the days to come. If you plan what you’re doing the night before and write it out, it takes you less time to get going in your “highest intellectual hours”
How do you stay motivated?
I’m fortunate that the tasks of my career are circular in my motivation. As cliche as it sounds, the same challenges the demotivate me, are part of the larger picture that ignites me. I would not suggest finding external motivation for goals you have but rather the goals themselves put you on fire, enough to handle most blows. While motivational tools can be used for your dark mornings, rainy days and cool nights, inner drive is the most constant. Growing up we are often taught to be balanced, or well rounded, and we see it in resumes today. I believe against this. If we give ourselves the opportunity to double down at what we’re good at and mitigate the tasks were not, not only will success and motivation be higher, but joy.
What legacy do you hope to leave behind?
I’ve always wanted to create a business that is lasting rather than a fad, my personal being does not need to be in legacy but rather the company I’m building. I believe building communities will far out last a variety of technology, food and service and fashion companies. Although community builders need to stay adaptive and innovative these companies often have a longer life span. Companies such as Bechtel, Tridel, AECOM, have proved to last various generations. This is very admirable when a company can be passed down from own generation to the next.
