How 30 minutes more per Morning Changed my Life - Part 5

Reflection/Conclusion

          If you have read through this entire series, let me take the time to thank you for reading, but I am sure at this point you are wondering: what is the point? I can assure you that I did not write this to be congratulated or to get recognition for achieving what I have. The actual idea came to me Sunday night as I was driving home, and I started to realize as I was writing it the actual point.

          I wrote this because I know that God told me to write it; there is someone out there that this was meant to reach, and my hope it that it reaches that person. Simply, my point in writing is that I hope that even one person can benefit from reading this. I am a very impulsive and distracted person that finds it difficult to stay focused on one thing for an extended period of time, but I am. Maybe this will give some hope to someone that needs to be shaken up or that wants to make a change in his or her life, but is struggling to find a way. That is my hope anyway.


          There are many ways to make changes in your life, and I believe that there will never be a point where you can stop improving. This whole routine is a process that is never ending; I believe that contentment is the enemy of progress. Maybe there are other ways to achieve the same results, but this small change has been the catalyst for a world of changes in a short amount of time. While there are many factors in the changes I have experienced, I believe that the very beginning of my journey was just by changing the alarm. I feel like I have changed my life just by waking up 30 minutes earlier 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
