Unfortunately, it is women with these multiple risk factors that are least likely to breastfeed....

Pro-coffee connoisseurs promote coffee’s antioxidants, while those on the other side name the downsides, such as insomnia, increased heart rate and blood pressure. Fear not: drinking coffee may be healthier for you than you thought. Well, it all comes down to what’s in your coffee, how much you drink, and when you drink it....

Now, that is not to say it is necessarily a bad thing to have someone pop in. It can lead to some interesting and stimulating exchanges. And most of the time the discours is really quite enjoyable. On the other hand, lacing your comments with profanity and insults is rather like sitting up to their table and breaking free with a horrendous blast of flatulence. While no one may actually say anything about it, they may consider locking the door for the next meal....

Those are the words of Ian Kerner, a counsellor who specializes in couples and sexual counselling. In an interview with Public Radio International (PRI), Kerner talked about how technology like Facebook and Instagram are posing real issues with relationships, and that a great way to handle it is to turn that all off. Tuning Out Kerner observed that couples frequently hold side-by-side conversations with their cell phones and laptops, and that “they’re not having direct face-to-face conversations because they’re also on an iPhone or a gadget, so they’re partially vacated....

Trouble is, the better you get at your chosen art form, the less time you have to wait around for that pesky muse.

And of course, being parents, we already have the cutest little 4-month-old. So we decided to make a fun series....

There is a story told about a northern pike, a large carnivorous freshwater fish. A pike was put into an aquarium, which had a glass partition dividing it. In the other half from the pike there were many small fish. The pike tried repeatedly to eat the fish but each time hit the glass partition. The partition was eventually removed but the pike did not attack the little fish. It had learnt that trying to eat the little fish was futile and painful so it stopped trying....

A well-spent day brings happy sleep. If you’re part of the latter group, I feel for you. For years, I almost felt like a vampire, wide awake at night, but horribly exhausted during the day. The moment I went to bed, my mind was filled with tons of ideas about my business and life, which made it impossible to make my brain, well, shut up long enough to fall asleep....

The person who doesn’t find a way to create momentum is the person who won’t realise their dreams, move forward or explore their potential. Sadly, some people will spend their lives sitting in neutral, almost doing something but never really doing anything significant. Talent, opportunities, ideas and even brilliance will amount to nothing if we fail to create and maintain momentum....

The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. Why being yourself matters

You can do anything, but not everything. I’m a mother, a coach, a trainer, a blogger, an author, and a huge tennis fan, so this month my time is tight (Wimbledon season). Time is always tight for most of us; deciding what to focus our limited time on is the issue. So the question is this: How do we identify what is the “Anything” that we want in our lives, and what bits are the “Everything” — the things that can be removed from your lists of goals and to-dos?...
