Huffington Post decided to get some little ones into the equation. Tasting coffee was perhaps one of their most bitter moments and it’s not clear if it even had sugar and cream in it.

While some were slightly tolerant and were willing to give it another go when they grew up; the others just gave a big thumbs-down to their first cuppa....

Checking emails first in the morning isn’t good for you. Here’s why. Reading email first thing in the morning wastes the opportunity to engage your brain in more proactive tasks while it is at its most focused, creative, and highly capable. Mornings are a great time to do productive work that requires focus, creativity, and strategy. “But reading emails is my way of being productive,” you say? This may be the case, but think hard....

It is estimated that around 30.5% of all American households have a dog — and another 30% have a least one cat. And anyone who has enjoyed the cuddles, company, or unconditional love of a pet understands just how important animals are to our lives. Americans love their pets so much that they keep them even if they have been diagnosed with allergies. Around 1 out of 3 people who are allergic to cats, for instance, still have a cat in the house and when a doctor recommends that a patient find another home for their pet due to allergies, only about 1 in 5 actually take that advice....

Introduction Talent isn’t something we are taught. Talent, is something we recognize within ourselves as a result of practical application in a particular chosen field. Some of us do well in our pursuit of greatness, and some not so well. We may try very hard to perfect our attempts at mastering a certain activity, yet, seem to fail timelessly. As a result of our failures, we can easily rationalize those doing better as born naturals; we see them as people with natural gifts, and we can easily reduce to feelings of inadequacy, becoming uncertain about our own capabilities....

There are two problems with this approach: I can already hear objections. “But I really want to lose those 10 pounds! Should I not want that?” Yes, you should. Desires urge you to expand and grow. “But then how am I supposed to be happy since I don’t yet have what I want?” Well, here is the truth behind goals: We may think that our goals are to graduate, get married, get a promotion, make more money, live anywhere we want, or lose weight, but ultimately all those goals are nothing more than means to an end....

Sunday night rolls around, you set your alarm, it goes off in the AM, it’s earlier than you would normally get up so you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through your social media and the next thing you know, two hours have passed by and now you have no desire to go to the gym. The day comes to a close and you find yourself wondering at what point in the day your desire to be productive dwindled away....

Whether it’s due to a lack of sleep or your mind being overly preoccupied, many of us wish we had more energy and concentration to get through our day. Some of us choose the coffee route, downing cups of coffee throughout the day to stay alert and productive. Others choose to sleep the weekend away in hopes of ‘recharging’ our bodies. But what if I told you that these are all temporary, if not ineffective, ways of boosting energy?...

But what would happen if we had to live with all our trash instead of having it hauled away? Photographer Gregg Segal captured this question in a startling photo series, ‘7 Days of Garbage‘, in which he asked friends and acquaintances to save a week’s worth of their household’s trash which he photographed them relaxing in after the seven days were up. The result is a powerful bare-faced look at the waste we generate, and the consequences of turning a blind eye....

Have you noticed there is a sanitized, politically correct version of apologies that is all the rage these days? You walk away from these apologies mildly unsettled that you don’t actually know what they said, and you certainly don’t know what they meant. One of my favorites is, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Allow me to translate that. It means, “I’m sorry for me that you are getting it so very wrong....

So, what does love mean? The concept of love is very easily mistaken for its similar counterparts; lust and infatuation. The feelings we experience during the beginning stages of any of these tend to blur our judgment; mistaking something casual for something very deep and meaningful. But there are a few very prominent distinctions that can help you to decide what it is that you’re actually feeling. Love: an intense and constant feeling of deep affection....

His statement quells many would-be critics who would object to a feminized, girly version of the powerful Thor we’ve seen in the past. As for what it does or doesn’t do for feminism, that is yet to be determined. Once we can get our hands on the first issue, that will become much more clear. If Marvel delivers what it’s promising, though, we could count Thor among positive female role models....

If you’ve ever said “yes” to a party invitation even if you have work to do or purchased a new tech gadget because it’s the latest thing everyone is talking about, then you’ve probably had a case of FOMO – the fear of missing out. It’s a problem that many of us experience every single day and ends up becoming a distraction in the long run. Our current social and work environment has made this problem worse from the access to social media and other media outlets....

By tapping specific pressure points on the body, it is believed that negative energies causing pain (whether physical or emotional) are disrupted, and therefore balance is restored to the physical and emotional body.[1] The Origin of the Emotional Freedom Technique EFT has close ties to acupuncture, in that it physically touches on specific points on the body, believed to hold epicenters of energy. With acupuncture, these points are picked with acupuncture needles to alleviate pain, tension, and combat illness....
