No matter where you work (from home, or the office, or your fave coffee shop...), getting from breakfast to lunch and lunch to dinner without noshing on something is hard. We'd never skip snacking altogether, especially since enjoying a midday bite is actually great for your metabolism (and your mental health), so set yourself up for success with a healthier, homemade option. Whether you like salty, sweet, crunchy (or all three!), there are plenty of snacks here for you for wherever you work. Check out our 55 healthy work snacks—they’re sure to curb your hanger and help you get through whatever your day throws at you.

Let’s face it: there are many stressors we face in life — from relationship problems and job issues to the uncertain state of the world. Whether it’s just a little stress or a big ball of panic in the pit of your stomach, learning how to calm down is essential for all of us.

​The problem is that learning how to calm down isn’t always easy, especially when you are in a moment of panic or stress. As someone who has dealt with anxiety for all of my life, there have been many times when I have felt flooded with stress and anxiety, with no clear way of relieving it.

If there's one big takeaway from this year, it's this: It's time to stop fearing foods and instead find nourishment in the things that bring us joy. 2022 was the year for redefining "healthy." Healthy is personal; it's not one size fits all. And speaking of sizes, celebs like Lizzo, Jameela Jamil and Jonah Hill have taken to their platforms to shout loud and clear that your outward appearance is no indicator of how healthy you are (and, frankly, it's no one else's business anyway). 

PTSD Projection is mostly an unconscious process, and it can take considerable time to become fully aware of it. Often, it is so woven into the structure of our character, that we perceive it as being normal.

Projection does lead to the reenactment of emotional patterns. What this means is that the emotional hardships (trauma) that you experienced earlier in life are repeated. The circumstances and the people involved might be different but the emotional content is the same or it's opposite.

We all know how important it is to eat right, exercise, sleep well and balance work with relaxation. One thing we don't often talk about is why all that is so very important, but it's all about protecting your mental energy. You can be in the best shape of your life, but if something (or someone) is draining you mentally, you're going to feel terrible.

That job you thought you'd love? It looks good on paper, but the office is a gossip-laden minefield, and you dread going in. To really be living your best life, you need to know how to protect your energy from negativity like a bad or draining workplace. 

Protecting your energy is critical not only for your ability to get your work done well, but also for you to be mentally and emotionally capable to be your best in and outside of work. At Fairygodboss, we aim to help women achieve their career goals — and you won't be able to hit your incredible goals without making sure you're distressed, mentally healthy and reenergized.

Relaxing sounds easy, but in practice, that’s not always the case. 

There are a lot of reasons why you might find it hard to unwind: Maybe you feel guilty about taking time for yourself, or your daily life is so busy that downtime just feels impossible. Perhaps you live with an anxiety disorder, or another condition that creates a lot of tension. 

Sometimes, you might turn to an activity that seems relaxing but leaves you feeling more depleted afterward — for example, recreational substance use, or scrolling on social media. But there are lots of stress reduction techniques out there that you may find more restorative.

Below are 20 tips and techniques for how to:

The shoulder is the body's most complicated joint. It's where the ends of the collarbone, upper arm bone, and shoulder blade meet. And it's prone to arthritis (a wearing away of the cartilage between the bones), as well as tears or tendinitis (inflammation) in the rotator cuff — the group of tendons that helps you raise and rotate your arm. Shoulder pain can keep you from being able to raise your arms to get dressed, or reach up to a cupboard or out to a door.

​But an easy way to stave off shoulder problems is to regularly stretch the muscles that support the joints. "The muscles need to be long and flexible to stay healthy. You're more vulnerable to injury when your shoulder muscles are tight and restricted," explains Clare Safran-Norton, clinical supervisor of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital.
