by Tara Cousineau Have you ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of regret, resentment, and rumination? I call these the 3 Rs of despair. You're not alone. We all have moments when we look back at our choices and wish we could change them.“I wish I hadn’t done that.” “I want a do over.” “If only.”We might feel bitter towards ourselves for perceived flaws or failures or envy others' successes.

by Beth Feldman Marriage isn’t a cake that you put in the oven and check on in fifteen years. You need to be an active participant in cultivating, nurturing, and energizing your relationship with your partner. This is particularly important given that American Psychological Association has found that 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce and 60-70% of second marriages end in divorce. Having a strong, satisfying... 12/7/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Wellness Editor Chronic sleep deprivation may seem like a normal part of adult life, but it may have a greater impact on our health than we realize.

by Wellness Editor Each year, countless people set their New Year’s resolutions. In 2020, the most common resolution was to exercise more.

by Rob Greenstein Unless you were born prior to the mid-twentieth century, you've heard this warning all of your life: “Saturated fats are bad for you.

by Alishah Merchant The vast majority of us spend hours at a desk in front of a computer every day. Even after the workday is complete, many of us go on to sit more while in a car, bus, or the subway and then again at the dinner table, and in front of the television. Even if we take time out of our busy day to engage in physical activity such as walking, biking, running or weight training, the proportion of this time... 12/1/2023 5:00:00 AM

by AJ Gibson Taking time to focus on your own wants and needs can feel selfish, but doing so is actually an act of genuine selflessness. Don’t buy into the fallacy that the only way to find true happiness in life is by pouring into others, because it’s just not that simple. Sure, in theory, it’s a great concept, but too often we do things like volunteering or giving sacrificially in hopes of actually feeding a... 11/28/2023 5:00:00 AM
