It’s hard to know what you think or feel about work when you’re burnt out, pummeled with other tasks, thoughts, and interactions all day long.

Sam Rose

Hands up if you’ve ever had a traumatic experience that you felt changed you.

Yes, I know that I am not supposed to go to the gym every day as evidenced by the rolled eyeballs of any trainer with whom I've spoken. People are not supposed to go to the gym every day.

Most of the time, however, it was far more intense than that for between thirty and sixty minutes.... Read More...
