LIFESTYLE: BENEFITS OF WRITING MORNING PAGES
If your mind feels cluttered before your first cup of coffee, morning pages might be the reset you need. Popularized by Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, the practice is simple—write three pages of unfiltered thoughts first thing in the morning. It’s not about perfection; it’s about clearing mental cobwebs, boosting creativity, and tuning into what’s really on your mind before the world starts demanding your attention.

WELLNESS: HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET A ROUTINE CHECKUP?
Think of regular checkups as your body’s version of a tune-up, a little time now can save you a lot later. Staying on top of screenings, vaccines, and having super candid conversations with your doctor helps catch issues early + keep you feeling your best. Even if you’re healthy, those yearly (or every-few-year) visits are your secret weapon for long-term wellness because prevention really is the best medicine.

TRAVEL: HOTEL HOPPING IS THE TREND
“Hotel hopping” — staying at multiple hotels in one city — might sound chaotic, but it’s the newest travel trend for a reason. By switching hotels during your trip, you can experience a city’s neighborhoods. It’s part adventure, part logistical headache — but for travelers chasing culture, flexibility, and a few extra deals, it might just be worth the shuffle.

ON PERSPECTIVE: “There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more." - Alexandre Dumas

Happiness and misery don’t exist on their own — they’re defined by how we perceive and compare our experiences. What feels joyful or painful depends entirely on the lens through which we view it.
