1. Relaxzen Shots

I just got a package in the mail a few days ago. I just met a guy through a mutual friend who said he has an all-natural drink that helps calm the mind, making for a better sleep.

Now, I’m about as bad a sleeper as there is, so if I hear of something that is truly all natural that will help me doze off, I’m down to try it out. I’ll never try pharmaceutical sleeping pills, or anything synthetic, but if it’s natural and good for you – why not?

I’ve tried different techniques to fall asleep before. I have a pretty set sleep schedule, I’ve been to sleep doctors, I’ve shut down my computer earlier on in the evening which has helped, but I’ve never taken anything natural that actually had an impact. So I was skeptical to say the least when he brought this up, but I figured I had nothing to lose and everything to gain so I’d give it a shot.

The first time I tried it I even did a few things that normally result in me having a terrible time getting to sleep: like working late on the computer, and eating sugary foods late in the evening – but I ended up having a great sleep. The second night was much of the same story. I woke up earlier than usual on the following day feeling rested and ready to go.

Anyways, this stuff is awesome – I’m going to try the Relaxzen daytime shot as well. But I recommend the sleep shot for sure.

Doing Whatever We Want vs Discipline vs Regret

Posted: October 27th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Athleticism | Tags: , , , | 1 Comment »

Finding balance in life is a struggle. We strive to find the right balance between work and family, discipline and treating ourselves, but often are left with regret no matter what our choice is.

A part of living life to the fullest is enjoying treats, the finer things, or the guilty little pleasures that we all have. On the other hand, we feel better when we take care of our bodies. We’re more confident when we look our best and feel our best because we’re in great shape. A healthy dose of a clean diet and exercise even limits depression.

Simply put, we’re overall happier when we’re healthy.

But (there’ll be a lot of but’s in this blog post) life can get pretty boring and monotonous if we limit ourselves from everything as well.

So how do you find the right balance between eating healthy, which will make you feel great, live longer, and even improve your mental health, and eating junk food every now and then?
