Eating has become a mindless act, often done quickly.

In this open letter to the community, Will shared with us his discovery of mindful eating and how it has helped him in his weight loss and mental health journey.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of dread as we draw close to the end of a weekend. While we can’t push back the impending return or work, we can learn how to cope with the anticipatory anxiety and make the most of our remaining weekend.

We all know that a little bit of healthy competition is supposed to breed drive and excellence. But does that tactic work for everyone, and have we considered how it may bear repercussions on our mental health in the long term?

Due to the glorification of hustle culture by parents, peers and wider society, productivity and success have been ingrained in me since high school. This led to an over-obsession with these concepts that are put on a pedestal. 

Take a moment to define what adulting means to you as well. Once you have it, does it also revolve around the theme of responsibility? Responsibility is a large part of being an adult, but happiness is a large part of wanting to be alive, no matter your age. This is why I personally believe adulting is an optimal balance of both responsibility and happiness.
