Welcoming July

Wow… what a year. I can’t believe it is already July. I seriously can’t remember anything quite like this during my lifetime. The last three or four months have been truly unique and there is really no way of telling where we’ll all go from here. Last month might have been the least active month in the history of the blog. We published three articles. Two were sponsored and one was a review of a newer restaurant here on the west bank of New Orleans. I’m not sure how everyone did last month, or for the first half of this year, but I’m personally going to focus on today and tomorrow. No matter what happened in the past, we have to push forward with strength and determination.

Living in Hollywood (A Fun Recap of Our Adventures)

For the first time, in a very long time, Hungry & Fit will live somewhere for more than a year. After heading to college in 2007, Hungry hadn’t stayed in a single place for more than a year. Sometimes those moves would just be from one room to another in the same building, but once Hungry & Fit teamed up, we’ve had some much more distinct moves. After leaving New York in May of 2012, with a car packed with nearly everything we owned, we settled in Boulder, Colorado. This is when our string of moving into new apartments after one-year leases began.

Having a healthy and good lifestyle is not just about eating good food and treating yourself to holidays in Hawaii. There is a lot more you can do to make sure your 2018 lifestyle is healthy.

Have a positive mindset about working out

It is so easy to begin going to the gym today and to quit after a week or two. With constant mental roadblocks about working out, it is quite easy to develop negative energy towards it. The trick is to shift your mindset about working out and think of it as a need instead of a want. It is easy to manipulate your body through how you think because the two are linked. Be realistic about your workout goals and stick to them in order to achieve t

Study your body, and find out how to satisfy its needs in terms of health and fitness, for instance, if you have back problems which may affect your workout routines, get access of the Richmond chiropractic services. Also, go for regular body checkups to ensure you are in good shape.

5 Tips to Create a Life You Love

Recover from alcohol and substance abuse

In order to create a life we love and in which we are happy, we must have our bodies at optimum health. Alcohol and substance abuse can cause our health to deteriorate to a bad state, as well as lead us to be quite unhappy. This is because some have a tendency to spend a lot on drugs, alcohol and other vices. As a result, we may end up losing assets that mean much more to us. Individuals may also end up in debt. Therefore, we must quit and avoice any forms of alcohol and substance abuse in order to be truly happy and content. It is, however, best to receive all the help we can get, like at https://www.palmerlakerecovery.com/, a centre which helps people overcome and recover from substance abuse and alcohol addictions.

Hungry & Fit Meditation Series

This year seems to be full of fun changes and projects. One you already know about–LA’s Must-Visit Restaurants of 2018 series. After months of putting it off, we are finally bringing you another project that you can hopefully benefit from. I first got into meditation during college and, since then, it’s become an important grounding part of my life even if I don’t do it as much as I should. In the past, you’ve seen written meditations come from us. We taught you the basics of meditation, how to use it for positivity, and for love. If I listed all of the ones we’ve published, I would probably be here for a long time. If you want to look some up, just type in ‘meditation’ in our search bar to find them. We’ve heard great positive feedback from you on these meditations so we wanted to bring you something even better.

How to Harness Happiness

Please enjoy a guest post from Per Wickstrom.

Happiness is one of those elusive and mysterious things that all of us seek out but none of us really know how to achieve. In fact, we often find it without really knowing how we got there. It always just seems to happen by chance or it doesn’t happen at all. Isn’t there some kind of doctrine on how to achieve happiness? Certainly tools for attaining happiness have been put into writing by ancient religions and creeds for centuries, but there’s never been a universal method that’s been agreed upon by everyone.

I’m not here to try to convince anyone that any doctrine works above all else when it comes to attaining happiness. I’m not writing this to try and push any one theory on happiness or say that only one way works.

Try Being Grateful

This title could be perceived as offhanded. However, imagine the tone as one of gentle nudging rather than being snootily rude. I’m not trying to throw in your face that you’re a brat, but just that each of us could–instead of complaining or being bitter–try instead to be grateful. I must confess, this was brought on by watching the very last episode of our beloved Downton Abbey (which I thought was a lovely ending). Reflecting on the life of the servants and such, I realized that, though fictional they are, there are plenty of people like them who are grateful despite a hardworking, have-little life. I found it to be a good lesson.

Instead of sourness and a generally negative attitude, let us try supplementing gratefulness first. The power of gratitude is enormous, be you a Lord or servant (or in these days, someone powerful or someone on the bottom of the ladder). Gratitude can pull someone from depression, from anger, from feeling lost. If being grateful to you is an impassive thing that you’ve never really thought about, try doing so now.

What are you grateful for?
