Let's be honest, one of the worst things is tossing and turning when you're trying to fall asleep. It's even worse when you're exhausted and the sleep still won't come. Sleep is vital to our health and well-being. We need it so we have energy to function throughout our day, to stabilize our mood and hormones and give us brain power so we can concentrate during the day. I can't count how many times I've heard health professionals stress how important sleep is to the human body. I used to have ... View the Post
What I Do When I Feel Anxiety Creep In
Yesterday morning, I really worked myself up. I got stressed out about things working out with my new apartment, frustrated with things not going as planned at work, and worried about packing and getting things done before heading to a work trip in Louisiana.

But I promise I only share it because it really helps! Since injuring my back in high school, I've gone through many pain flare ups and have found ... View the Post
Owning Your Energy
As an introvert, I find myself observing quite often -- the way people interact, body language and the things around me. Sometimes my family will say, "Morg, you're being so serious." But it's the quiet, anxious, Scorpio in me that is constantly taking it all in and processing (read: over-analyzing).
