Taking probiotic supplements has become something of a trend lately. While there’s plenty of evidence of  their health benefits , you may have heard some stories about unpleasant probiotics side effects. Fortunately, these aren’t anywhere near as common or as bad as they seem. Probiotics are a type of bacteria known as “friendly” gut bacteria – also known as microflora – that reside in various parts of your body. While most of these are in the gastrointestinal tract, microflora is also present on your skin, in your mouth and other areas. Numerous studies have shown that the health of your gut microflora can provide clues to your overall health and wellbeing. Digestive problems can be linked to imbalances in your gut bacteria, which in turn can lead to other serious conditions such as food allergies, behavioral disorders, mood changes, autoimmune disease, arthritis, chronic fatigue, skin disorders and even cancer. That’s why taking probiotics as a supplement ...

3 Steps to End Negative Self-Talk It is clear that negative self-talk hinders your progress, and prevents you from living the life that you deserve. So let me share with you three methods that I use in daily basis to overcome this innate habit. 1. Respond to Your Inner Voice, Don’t Ignore It “ Turn down the volume of your negative inner voice and create a nurturing inner voice to take its place. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself, learn from it, and move on instead of obsessing about it.” Beverly Engel Erica Ariel Fox wrote a brilliant article in Harvard Business Review about negative self-talk. [2]  She stated that the toughest conversations any of us can have are the ones that we have with ourselves. She mentions a story about Dominique, a high performer executive who has great self-confidence, but a critical inner voice. Dominique commands everyone’s attention, and respect, but not her own.

1. Find Your Why Forget about your goals, think about your purpose. Think about the underlying reasons you want to accomplish your goals. The Classic author James Addison wrote about finding happiness, he said:[2] “ There are three grand essentials to happiness in life, something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” If you can find something that you love to do and can make a real impact doing it, that is your  why . Simon Sinek popularized this term in 2009, in his book  Find Your Wh y , he recounts this story. He once sat next to a man on a plane. Sinek asked this man one question: What do you do?

What is life about? What is the meaning of life? Why do we exist? Everyone, from ancient Greek Stoics all the way to modern lifestyle gurus, have answered these kinds of questions in an endless variety of ways. And yet, we still search for a satisfying answer. Neither this article, nor any other one, can deliver a tangible solution to the curious case of life. And that’s okay! The truth is, part of what makes the meaning of life so alluring is its engrossing diversity, mystery, and intangibility. However, it’s important to point out that the lack of a solid answer doesn’t mean it’s not worth looking for one. The search for what life is about is a journey that each individual person must embark on for themselves. Each person must look for their own, uniquely fulfilling answer to the question. Fortunately, there are many different behaviors, ideals, and actions that humans have found over the centuries that can be excellent methods to draw us towards that final, in...
