Your time, money and energy reveal more about your needs than any journal prompt. Learn to read your spending patterns — and what they say about your emotional wounds.

“Be in the present moment.” “Don't be so much in your head.”  “Let it go.” It took me years to understand that being present was never about stopping thoughts. It was about something much simpler — and much more uncomfortable: feeling what is happening in the body.

from a biological point of view, attractiveness is not the end. It is a means to an end. What we respond to — often without realizing it — are not traits in themselves, but what those traits signal. Attractiveness is the brain’s shortcut for answering a deeper question: Does this person embody something worth investing in and passing on? Attractiveness can be worked on. Not by chasing approval or performing desirability, but by strengthening the very capacities it signals.

Have you ever experienced that uncomfortable moment when your "gut feeling" led you astray? It's tempting to conclude that your intuition is unreliable, that you should override your instincts with even more rational analysis.
