Tis the season to be booked and busy. Between getting ready for the holidays, meeting the end-of-the-year deadlines at work, trying to attend all the events, and everything in between, our schedules are filled to the brim. As a personal trainer, one of the things I see take a back seat is people’s fitness routines. It can feel nearly impossible to find ways to exercise on a busy schedule. We know that working out is important for both our mental and physical health. Yet when our appointment books start to look like a great American novel, exercise typically doesn’t rank that high on our list of priorities. But I’ll tell you something: You don’t actually have to dedicate that much time in your day to get the benefits of exercise. The key is simply to slip in more movement whenever…

Read More at Well+Good Although social media can be a great place for seeking inspiration for a weeknight meal, it also can be a medium that spreads harmful and potentially life-threatening misinformation, like the recent viral “sleepy chicken” TikTok trend.

Over 60 and Looking for a Job? Here’s 10 Tips to Get You Started
Read More at Sixty and Me Looking for a job in your 60s can be a real challenge. For starters, you may not have expected to be in a position to have to look for work at this age. A six-year increase to the women’s state pension age in less than 10 years is a huge shift, which has left many with no choice but to continue working. On top of that, age discrimination is still an issue within the workforce, which can sometimes mean that it’s harder to open doors than it should be. For example, it’s not uncommon for our members to hear the words “you’re overqualified” as if it’s a compliment, when it’s clearly a sign of judgement and prejudice in the recruitment process. Thankfully, all is not lost. More and more employers are recognising the talent…

7 Tips From Family Therapists for Repairing Soured Family Relationships This Holiday Season
Read More at Well+Good Classically a time reserved for family gatherings and annual traditions, the holiday season has a way of stoking childhood nostalgia—and also dredging up deep-seated disagreements with family members. The combination can leave you feeling sentimental for a simpler time, perhaps one before the family drama began or the realities of life distanced you from a particular sibling or relative. Though you certainly don’t need to be close or maintain a relationship with anyone for the sole reason that they’re related to you, if the approaching holidays have you in the peacemaking spirit or you’ve simply realized that you’d like to repair certain family relationships, now is as good a time as any to initiate the process of making amends. Around this time of year, we’re naturally predisposed to seek resolution within even long-soured family relationships largely…
Arguing Can Be Positive for Your Relationship—Here Are 7 Tips for How To Fight Fairly
Read More at Well+Good The popular refrain, “it’s not what you say, but how you say it” describes the importance of delivery and tone for effective communication in all relationships, and it extends to the “right” way to argue in romantic partnerships.

And embracing key therapist-backed guidelines around how to fight fairly in a relationship may make arguments less taxing to resolve, help deepen your connection, and improve the quality of your relationship for the long haul. To reiterate, the presence of disagreements isn’t an issue; even the strongest relationships will be rocked by arguments—maybe even lots of ‘em.
