While PETA claims that shearing hurts the animal, this is an extreme outcome and generally happens if the animal isn’t given the proper time to recoup its fleece before the next shearing. Meaning, the animal is only harmed if the farm or shearer in question cares more about profit and the amount of wool than the animal itself. Otherwise, shearing is pain-free for the animal and necessary for maintaining the health of the flock....
If you’ve already ditched your resolution this year, don’t beat yourself up—the “all-or-nothing” nature of resolutions is impractical and unsustainable. (After all, 365 consecutive days of action or avoidance is difficult, even for the most disciplined among us.) “There’s no magic one-size-fits-all solution for how you want to set up a habit, whether you do it in the morning, afternoon, or night,” Rubin says in a mindbodygreen podcast episode. “People are going to differ on when they feel most productive, creative, and energetic....

That’s why I was excited to speak with relationship expert Margaret Paul, Ph.D., on this episode of the mindbodygreen podcast. As a bestselling author with a Ph.D. in psychology, Paul seems to have relationships down to a science: She knows just what it takes to make a relationship last, as well as what really happens when a couple just “loses their magic.” No need to fret—here, the secret to finding true love....
Of course, depending on what you believe and how you relate to spirituality, another way of thinking about old souls is the idea that we’re all perhaps different incarnations of universal life force, and those old souls are simply tapped into that wisdom on a deeper level (and from an earlier age) during that lifetime. As spiritual guide and author of Sacred Landscapes of the Soul, Karen Brailsford tells mbg, “I believe there’s a timelessness or eternality we all have access to—this innate wisdom and core truth....
I went back to the teacher, and the studio, a week later, and within 3 months I was practicing every day, yes, still in my baller shorts and mega Ts. I was “getting better” – hard not to when you start unable to touch your toes and barely able to hold a plank – but I was not soaring. In fact, it was not until I understood what bandhas were that my practice really evolved, on the inside and on the outside....
Unfortunately, psychiatric care can be expensive—no matter what budget you’re working with. It can also be inconvenient, especially if you’re accommodating the schedule of a busy practitioner who only offers sessions during working hours. But thanks to the advancement of telehealth services, psychiatric care has never been more accessible.
