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.

Self-Driving Cars

The future of the world seems to be autonomous. We have reached a point that the future is going to be in Artificial Intelligence; Google has even said they are an AI-first company. The idea behind this push is for machines to learn and adapt to our needs. We want machines to work easily for us. One category of machines that is being pushed to work for us (and without us) is automobiles. Even when transportation consisted of horses pulling a buggy, humans have always been "behind the wheel". By that, I mean that humans have always controlled where, when, why, and how a vehicle will be moving. We have now reached a point where the future will consist of cars that control speed and direction without the need for human control. Aside from convenience, the main reason for the push: removing human error. It is no surprise that the vast majority of automobile accidents can be traced back to human error. Whether it is not watching the road, driving too fast, or simple reckless b...

Roseanne, Roseanne. Thank you for demonstrating why you should think before posting

IMAGE: Getty Images (Composite from PageSix) A while back, I wrote a piece encouraging people to be mindful of their digital footprint and the things they say and do on social media. As someone who has seen some very questionable things posted online, I thought it was important to encourage others to take caution with what they share. As for those who are forced to see and hear another's ridiculous thoughts, I wrote a  piece  just days ago about the ability to unfollow and avoid others so that you are not forced to suffer through their farcical thoughts. Now, imagine my delight this morning, when I happen to stumble upon article after article detailing the nonsensical and inflammatory remarks on Twitter made by this country's most obnoxious T.V. mom. For those who may not have caught up on the news this morning, Roseanne Barr decided to enjoy her Memorial Day weekend by tweeting every ridiculous thought to come through her narrow mind ranging from accusations against Geo...

iPhone 7

It is that time again: Apple has launched a new iPhone, and the masses will flock tomorrow to get their hands on the "best one yet". However, I believe that this line is beginning to be slightly misleading. Is it the best iPhone? Yes. Is it the best phone? I would say no. At the same time, I do believe that it is a solid device. Admittedly, I have not had an iPhone since 4; I also had a MacBook Pro and iPad 2 at the time. I used to be fully in the iCorner. I believed that the ecosystem they designed was unbeatable, and their hardware was second-to-none. These days I have a slightly different perspective. That is a different story, however. Let's look at the iPhone 7 (and plus) just on its own merits. In the days of 6" plus screens, built in DSLR's (hyperbole), and pixel-less screens, the iPhone is a jack-of-all trades, master of none. I have not personally tested the phone, but like all tech announcements, I watched the live streaming event. I did not see any...
