My morning sidekick

I recently started Habit Nest's "Morning Sidekick Journal", to help me build a better morning routine. I'm generally happy with the routine I've been using for the past year, but I'd like to add meditation, reading, and exercise, and I'd like for this to be consistent – every single day. This

Practicing executive function

Two months back, my friend Natiea suggested that I check out a meditation app created by Sam Harris. I had tried apps for meditation before. She asserted that this one was unlike the rest, and gave me a promo code so I could try the first month free. Waking Up

Transference

When you encounter something for the first time, your brain tries to match it to something you've encountered before. When meeting a person, your brain might notice the particular way this person speaks, their shape, their point of view on a particular subject, and then short-cut to someone else you've
