I recently stumbled upon a podcast by New York Times best selling author, Gretchen Rubin, and have been very interested in her studies. Although I have not gotten my hands on any of her books yet, I have listened to her speak about her studies on a few podcasts (10% Happier and Happier with Gretchen Rubin).

The tendencies categorize people into different groups depending on how they respond to inner and outer expectations. Inner expectations are goals we set for ourselves and outer expectations are goals and deadlines others set for us. Every person falls into one of the four categories and each category has strengths and weaknesses. Understanding which tendency you fall into can help you analyze your strengths and weaknesses and can help you reach your goals. [Read more…]

I’ll be the first one to admit, these dreary winter months really make me blue. It’s usually around this time of year that I start craving warmer weather and sunshine, even though I know I have awhile to wait.

Whether its a day full of classes, a morning of work, or hours of running errands, we all have those days where we just want to come home and de-stress.
Here are 6 simple ways to relax after a stressful day.
I have to admit, I used to live for lazy Sundays. I would watch movies in my pjs all day and not do a single productive thing. It all seemed lovely until . . . Monday arrived and I was totally unprepared for the week. Not to mention, Mondays are hard enough to tackle as is, but when they follow a lazy Sunday, they are even more difficult to endure. It was time for me to make a change to my Sunday routines and I’m beyond glad I did. If you are interested in setting yourself up for a successful week, follow my routine and adjust it to fit your schedule and needs and I believe your week will go very smoothly.
