Define My Weekend?
I'd be a total liar if I said that I used Define My Day every weekend. I don't. But… my weekends are better when I do. Over the past few years, I've found that when I stick to my routine, I feel better throughout the day. It's always a struggle to maintain my...
People Create Their Own Problems

Begin A Positive Change
Now is the time to make a positive change. That seems so cliche right? Isn't now always the time to make a positive change? Ok. Let's start again... This time of year, most people begin to focus on what went wrong over the past year. They vow to change, make...
