Your brain is a goal-achieving machine, and it operates on the images you create for it. How does that work? The Reticular Activating System is part of your brain that, among other things, “finds” what you’re looking for. I’ll never forget getting my first car. I scored big time with a used Toyota MR-2.

While the official start of summer isn’t until June 21st, we start getting into summer mode on Memorial Day weekend, and then, even more so, as school lets out - this week in our area. And, this is where I see a lot of people make a critical mistake with their exercise… People start [...]
Oh, that first day back after vacation… Don’t get me wrong; I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things, especially some projects Janell and I are working on...but that first day back always hurts a little. There was definitely a little internal conversation about skipping my workout and going back to [...]
