I guess I'm excited because turning 80 is great. A number I never thought I'd see, but here it is. I always wanted to be an old guy who's still feeling pretty good,

One of the more unexpected tools now circulating in these high-pressure circles is tapping - a technique involving rhythmic stimulation of specific points on the body, paired with focused language, to influence mental and emotional states. Advocates claim it can restore clarity and control in minutes, whilst sceptics are sure to brand the technique as 'woo-woo'. The truth, as ever, sits somewhere between the two.

"So many women in perimenopause feel like something is 'wrong' with them because they've been sold a completely unrealistic story about female desire," Dr. Vanessa Coppola, a menopause expert and founder of Bare Aesthetic and Bare Soul Wellness, tells Scary Mommy. "You're supposed to want sex the same way you did at 25 for the rest of your life, and if you don't, it must mean you're broken or your relationship is failing."

Late-night snacking has had a bad rap for a long time. When pop culture takes a stab at this (very) human thing, it often portrays the scene as pernicious or, at best, distasteful. Combine that with regular condemnation by diet culture and accusatory media headlines that frame after-dinner eating as a moral failing, and it's easy to see why most of us want to steer clear.

Being a leader today requires a new level of performance. One that overrides fatigue, can suppress internal signals, and absorbs constant urgency, all while rapidly context-switching. Simply said, modern leadership demands have increased, and not everyone is-or wants to stay-on board. Today's leaders face growing expectations, dynamic responsibilities, and constant pressure to perform amid deep uncertainty and an ever-accelerating business ecosystem.

HOME is located in a former Triyoga space, but with a very different vibe - less hardcore wellness, more grab a comfy seat, bring a book and accidentally lose the whole day. Phone calls aren't allowed, shoes have to be removed, as do earphones, and whether that's a sign of me getting old or not, those are exactly the kind of rules I like to have at HOME.

Leadership is often thought of as managing teams, strategies or organizations. But the truth is, leadership starts with managing yourself. A leader who lacks discipline in their personal life, whether in health, time or energy, will struggle to lead others with clarity and consistency. Without personal self-management, even the best leadership strategies fall apart. This is why self-discipline is often called the hidden foundation of leadership success.

A mattress should last you about a decade before it needs to be replaced, so it's important to take some time and figure out exactly what type you need. What sleeping position do you prefer? Do you sleep hot or need to cocoon for warmth? How about back pain? Do you sleep alone or with a partner?

"I sleep on this pillow almost every night, and if it wasn't for the unique grid cloud texture, I would definitely mistake this for down because of its superior softness," shares Baker. Even though this falls in the down alternative pillow category, she says it's a worthwhile pick since it gives the type of support that'll help finicky side or back sleepers rest easy.

Have you ever struggled to find the perfect drink just before bed? Something like coffee or another caffeinated drink is usually out of the question. Likewise, you don't want a sugary drink if you just brushed your teeth. Cold water, and even room-temperature water, might be the standard, but you should consider the benefits of hot water if you've never tried it before. It can benefit you in more ways than you'd think.

When I arrived at Liberty Tiny Village on a warmer than usual day in November, I thought I knew exactly what to expect. The resort-style, 55-and-older tiny home community in Aubrey, Texas, markets itself as an upscale community for retirees or soon-to-be retirees ready to shed decades of belongings in exchange for a smaller, freer way of living. But that's only part of the story. That afternoon, I sat with two neighbors, widows Debbie Giamalva a retired intensive care nurse, and Sherry Miller, a retired English teacher.

Happy Birthday: Set your sights on financial goals that will put your mind at ease and your budget in place for the year.

Your numbers are 4, 12, 25, 27, 33, 38, 42.

Robbins follows these six steps in the morning in order to "supercharge" her energy all day: get up when the alarm rings (no snoozing or lying in bed!), make the bed and tidy your space, give yourself a high-five in the mirror, drink water before anything, take in the morning light, and move your body. I decided to try Robbins' morning routine for seven days, and here's how it went.

Thailand is Asia's big-hitting wellness destination, with a clutch of grande dames and newcomers on the well-established spa scene keeping the country at the top of many people's must-visit list.

Flying combat missions on little to no rest meant slower reaction times, clouded judgment, and mistakes that could cost lives. The military needed a solution, and they needed it fast. What they developed was a technique so effective that it reportedly worked for 96% of pilots after just six weeks of practice. No pills, no special equipment, just a systematic approach to shutting down your racing mind and tense body in 120 seconds or less.

If you're like most people, you'd probably pick the first guy. But here's what you can't see: The Tesla driver is drowning in debt, works 80-hour weeks at a job he hates, and hasn't had a genuine conversation with his kids in months. Meanwhile, the cyclist runs his own business, spends afternoons with his family, and sleeps peacefully every night.

Remember that viral TikTok showing someone's $500 skincare routine? I watched it three times, mentally calculating how many months of rent that collection represented. Then I looked at my own bathroom shelf, packed with Korean beauty products that cost me less than a nice dinner out, and realized something: My skin had never looked better, and I'd spent a fraction of what my luxury-brand-devoted friends had.

He has, as one advertising lackey puts it, gotten rich selling people air that's fresher' than the stinky stuff outside. If a recent proliferation of real-life courses, books and online search interest is anything to go by, the act of getting that air into one's lungs is also now commodified. Online and in-person breathwork sessions now abound, some charging hundreds of dollars to teach participants a skill most have already acquired as a prerequisite for life: how to breathe.

So, what is the "best" sleeping position to get you there? It's a tricky (if not impossible) question to answer, since everyone's body, health, and preferences are different. But according to Jennifer Martin, PhD, spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and professor at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at Florida International University, what's best for you hinges mostly on two factors: what position allows you to breathe easily, and what position is the most physically comfortable for your body.

According to Thomas C. Corley's research, 76% of millionaires exercised for at least 30 minutes a day, four days a week. Yeah, exercise. Not exactly the secret formula you were expecting, right? Why movement matters more than you think I used to think successful people were too busy for the gym. Turns out, I had it backwards. They're successful partly because they make time for it.

Last year, I found myself dragging through my days like I was moving through molasses. Four cups of coffee barely made a dent, and by 3 PM, I'd be fighting to keep my eyes open during meetings. I blamed it on everything - stress from deadlines, maybe not sleeping well enough, or just getting older. But when my doctor ran some routine blood work and mentioned my magnesium levels were surprisingly low, I had one of those lightbulb moments.
