What are some of the best foods you can eat to help your memory and brain function? For instance, I've heard apples help stimulate brain activity, and chocolate releases endorphins that make you feel happy.

Wonderful answers. I actually tried hayeske's suggestion today and it made a huge difference. I still checked Facebook a few times, but without the constant bombardment of notifications I definitely didn't feel as much of an urge. Thank you all!

After a long hiatus, I decided to re-start my Facebook profile. Life changes, new family members etc. convinced me that I need it to keep up withe everyone. But now I find myself scrolling.... and scrolling... and scrolling. I feel like I'm wasting valuable time that I could be using for...

Here are three beautiful quotes from the late Anthony Bourdain about travelling. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your...

I recently started taking yoga. I'm not what you might call "nimble", so I started taking yoga as a way to help stretch my muscles and keep loose. Turns out yoga is good for the body and the mind. The breathing techniques you learn in yoga class are similar to those used in meditation, and there...

How exciting! I've thought hard about doing this myself, but always brushed it off as a pipe dream of sorts. I would be curious to hear about your experience! When it comes to your routine, I've found that exercise is the most important part. Whether you work out in the morning or the evening...

As much as I'd like to learn ALL the languages right now, I'm going to agree with Edzky_18 on this one. Perhaps some people can take on multiple languages at once and be able to absorb everything in no time. I'm sure these people exist, but I am not one of them. I can say that I've had way more...

Same boat. I love my partner, but we are very different people and always have been. This has caused issues in the past. I've found that a simple thing you can do is to eat dinner together. We turn off the TV, leave cell phones in another room and sit down to eat. Just the two of us. It sounds...

What kind of music do you throw on when you want to concentrate, study, or get work done? In college, I majored in history. The majority of my life was reading books and writing papers for four years. If you majored in history, english, or anything else for that matter, then I'm sure you were...

What a great way to start the day! One of my main goals in life is to buy a house with a nice, semi-shaded patio where I can sit and enjoy my coffee and soak up the morning sunshine. I'm not even kidding. Throw in some west coast jazz and that's it. I'm done. Sheer bliss!

A good place to start might be to just try to introduce more vegetables in every meal. Like you, I find it really hard to quit the good stuff cold turkey. Instead, I'm just trying to gradually introduce more good foods into my diet. For example, if I go to a restaurant and order a burger, I'll...

For me, it's anything by Paul Simon. I grew up with his music in my house and it always takes me back to a simpler time. Graceland especially.
