Rejuvenaging with Dr. Ron Kaiser

Life moves fast. Jobs, errands, and everything in between can start to take a toll. So how do we manage this? Among the plethora of coping tools, one stands out as simple, powerful, and (best of all) free - the expression of gratitude.  Off the top of your head, I’m sure you can make a list of things that you are grateful for. The problem is our minds often gravitate towards thinking about wh...

People are different in many ways. We have different views, different tastes, and different ideas about things. However, one commonality most of us share is that we all have that thing . That insecurity that we can’t seem to overcome or get past. It may not always be glaring, but it lives within us, ready to strike at any moment. And when it does, it talks down to us and it makes us feel small and...

No relationship is perfect. Despite what tv shows and movies tell us, it’s normal to have differences, it’s normal to get angry, and it’s normal to go through periods of turbulence.

Oftentimes, listening to the news can be difficult. Between wars, famines, climate change, and inequality (to name a few), happenings of the world can start to seem like a never-ending cycle of unfortunate events.

It’s no secret that, when it comes to taking care of ourselves, our mental health often falls to the wayside.

Now, more than ever, solutions exist for us to take care of our mental health and und...

It can be easy to get stuck in the rituals of our daily lives. Change is disruptive and uncomfortable and many avoid it for these reasons. Others are drawn to change and dynamism, embracing the twists and turns that come along with it. Entrepreneurs are a perfect example of the latter. They are propelled by passion and not discouraged by fear of the unknown. However, being an entrepreneur and owni...

More often than not, the holidays are a hectic time. Between shopping, cooking, cleaning, eating, and seeing friends and family, it can all be a lot to manage.

We often think of preparing for the holidays in terms of deciding what meals to cook or strategizing on...

Sometimes it can be very easy to get stuck. Whether it be in bad behavior or habits, or even negative thoughts, getting caught up often results in us losing our way and ourselves.

What if we could paint at least h...
