How 30 minutes more per Morning Changed my Life - Part 3

Mind

          Prior to starting this new workout program, I don’t think I ever understood the direct connection between physical positivity and mental positivity. However, I have noticed quite significant changes in how I go about the day and how I interact with others.

          I have never considered myself to be a bad person, but at the same time, I know that there were certain parts of who I am and how I interact that were not up to par with the person I want to be. By feeling better physically, I have been able to carry the positivity in to every other aspect of my life. For instance, at work, I find myself much more optimistic about my day; that is not to say that I absolutely love my job. I am just much more patient with my coworkers, more willing to help, and less disappointed as my day goes on. I am able to appreciate that a few of my coworkers are constantly under pressure and busy so I am happy to help in any capacity.

          More than my work, I have found that my relationship has grown significantly in just the 45 days I have been doing this. Despite a few issues here and there, I have always had a tremendous relationship with my fiancée. She has been my best friend for years now, but after a certain time together, it is common for relationships to fall in to a routine. With a new outlook on life in general, I have found a completely new appreciation for her as a person, and our relationship has been better for it. I have been able to be and do so much more; I have started to show patience, to listen and not talk, and to take nothing for granted. I have found our relationship to be better than ever, and for all intents and purposes, we have found the perfect rhythm for us.

          There is a lot that can be said about the correlation between physical happiness and mental happiness. I set out to just get back to place where I was content with my physical well-being, and I have managed to find a place where my attitude has been changed in the process. A brother and good friend of mine always uses the phrase “Attitude is Altitude”, and I have really started to see that every day.

13 Reasons Why shows why it is not as easy as blaming technology for our societal problems

IMAGE: IMDB Let's start with a little background for those that are not familiar. 13 Reasons Why is a Netflix show that follows the story of Hannah Baker, or rather, the story after Hannah Baker. After intense bullying, harassment, and ultimately sexual assault, Hannah takes her own life leaving behind a set of tapes detailing the reasons she committed suicide. In the newly released season two, 13 Reason follows the trial in the lawsuit between Hannah's parents and the school district. An incredibly graphic show, 13 Reasons leaves little to the imagination. Hannah's suicide is shown fully on screen as are the various depictions of sexual assault including the now controversial scene featuring character Tyler in the season two finale. Designed to instigate discussion about some of the darker sides of society, 13 Reasons Why remains polarizing for how it depicts certain topics; however, one topic that is rarely discussed or mentioned is the affect that technology has on

How 30 minutes more per Morning Changed my Life - Part 2

Body           I think the most obvious change (and the one I had most sought after) was too my body. After the holidays, I felt miserable with both how I looked and how I felt. I had not been doing anything physical and had consumed more food in a short amount of time than I had done all year. This state of mind is what led me to undertake this journey in the first place.           However, unlike when I was going to the gym, I chose to also completely change my diet. I decided that to completely invest in the program, I needed to quit sabotaging my own results. I gave up on almost all sugars, quit drinking soda, and began monitoring everything that went in to my body. While it is not only more expensive, but also more time consuming, to change my diet, I have found the results to be well worth it.           I have found that in only two months that the changes have been night and day. I have completely lost every bit of weight that I put on during the holidays as well put mysel

RCS (Chat) may finally push carriers to give us the plans we really want

IMAGE: TechAdviser.co When The Verge first released its exclusive analysis on the future of Google messaging including the seeming death of Allo, the branding of Chat, and the push toward RCS, I did not think too much of it. After all, I had been reading about Rich Communication Services as the successor to Short Message Service for years; the popularity of apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, and iMessage showed that people loved the feeling of more personalized messages. Uncompressed pictures and stickers were just the beginning of what RCS was capable as in-thread boarding passes started to become a reality. Unfortunately, as is always the case, carriers and companies could not agree on a profile for universal RCS leading to no direction and no adoption; Apple sitting comfortably on the outside with the exclusivity of iMessage did not help the matter either. However, Google with Chat seems to have put RCS back on track. As noted in the article, many carriers and manufacturers h
