We've moved beyond the one thing-one purpose mentality that has been prevalent since the dawn of technology, and red light therapy panels are no longer just red, although this has stuck in daily language. Phototherapy units now offer options of many wavelengths adjustable within a single phototherapy lamp. A delight for someone like me - with no independent means or pending inheritance.

Contrary to the idea of an entirely passive state and an inactive brain, it appears that sleep is an active biological function, with some areas of the brain being up to 30% more active than when awake. The brain and body don’t shut off in a sort of biological idling, but have a lot to do, and sleeping better might save your life.

There is nothing, and we mean nothing in this whole wide world, that in madness and magnificence measures with a person freshly in love, living the honeymoon phase. But how long does the honeymoon phase last and what to do if the sex goes sour once it ends?

Let's get the points of this The Wizard of Oz talk out right away so you can focus on the journey: No one knows everything; there is always a man behind the curtain pretending he does; you already have what you need; no one is coming to save you; find some good friends and have an adventure.

Stretching across time, space, and cultural and religious systems, the obsession with youth is nothing new. It has maybe just been amplified through a loudspeaker of our visually based society, as media permeate our daily lives. But, there is nothing noble in staying forever young. There is beauty in allowing life to happen and take you on its own real adventures, and Peter Pan is a warning tale of refusing to do so.

True personal development is an inner tectonic shift that involves expanding the self in ways that are good for you (and preferably for the bigger picture of your life constellations). We'll all have to spend the rest of our lives with ourselves, and stale stagnation is very detrimental. Learning and growth did not finish on the day of our last exam. This was when it was supposed to start practically navigating life rather than multiple-choice question sheets.

You don't have forever to assert yourself and set boundaries around the life you'd like to live. Until you learn to say no, you will feel like an incomplete self, a semi-person, and an imposter in your skin who's finding it hard to truly, deeply respect yourself.

Is sugar addiction real? Yes. At Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory or Hansel and Gretel's cabin of imprisonment, all is edible, made of sugar and spice, and everything nice. The sugar-laced gastronomical landscape of today is akin to these fairytale-ish wonky worlds of prediabetes. Sweet in the beginning, sugar addiction is really bad news long term.

The current beauty standards around the world are reflective of our moment in time. Still, they are by no means absolutes but temporarily true variations on a theme with infinite interpretations through time and space. Who was the most beautiful woman in history? It depends on from which point of history you're looking.

Women know. We’ve been doing the hormone tango, riding the dragon since forever. We understand how it feels to not know this person yelling at someone we love for a conclusion about them we’ve conveniently made around 3 AM, or crying in your pasta because the beginning of “Up” is the most devastating thing in animation history, worse than Mufasa’s death.
