They say as we grow up we create two versions of ourselves, the private and public self. The private is the person we are behind closed doors or with a select few people. Whereas the public is who we are to the rest of the world. The public self is constantly changing to fit in […]
Vitamin k is an essential vitamin you may know nothing about or never even thought about, to be honest. Most of us get enough in our nutritional lifestyle. It falls through the cracks. Yet, small amounts of it circulate the bloodstream at any given time. It is important for blood clotting, bone metabolism and building […]
In business and life, we come face to face with short and long term choices. Pleasure at the moment or later in life, seldom do we get both. At least that’s how the saying goes; nothing comes without sacrifice. However, the real question is what are we sacrificing, approval, growth, social life, friends, family or […]
We make daily, weekly, and monthly goals to help us move forward, toward something grander. Most of the time this is something we could not complete in a short period, or at all, without proper planning. Other times it is something simple, but motivation is very low. The simple ones are broken down into smaller […]

There are days when nothing goes our way, no more coffee in the house, phone screen cracks, and the world seems to be out to get us. Instead of taking a moment to sit with this, we decide to carry on with the day and point this energy at everyone like a gun. Perhaps this […]
Recently I have been thinking a lot about dietary labels and the negative/positive connotations set for them. As someone who believes labels are overrated, it is amazing and sad to see the stories people have created in their mind based on other diets. Without taking the time to fully understand someone’s choices or health goals, […]
Welcome back! it’s my pleasure to bring you another episode. This week I am joined by the author of the Mi Effect. She is giving her take on the functional movement and the episodes to come. E
In Today’s society, there is a generational gap that has produced tension between the generations. I am eager to change this narrative. The older generation lived in an era where you needed a degree, specific trade, office or another qualification to work a nine to five job. This has been the dominating niche for a […]
As I sit on the plane, ready for my next adventure, this post comes to mind. No, it is not a travel guide or must-visit type post. Those, I leave to the travel enthusiasts who chose to document their entire adventure. This is about keeping up with health and fitness goals, while on the move. […]
Recap Last week I wrote about living factually and the benefits of this practice. A key factor was the ability to be present in the current moment, instead of physically being there and mentally caught in a story. Presence Sometimes it is hard to be present around friends and family. Especially when alcohol is involved […]
I am excited to launch my first vlog. Another new segment to help you on your journey and to feel apart of A Little Bit of E. It has taken a lot of work and private victories to muster the courage to release this new segment. All videos are shot in one take no edits […]
There are many approaches to living factually, because everyone has an outlook on the term. I was taught that living factually means to be present as much as possible by catching yourself in the stories that have been created. Hence, the last post was an introduction to this lifestyle. Breaking it Down In my last […]
There is so much talk going on today in terms of dietary needs and restrictions. Do not eat this food because it causes cancer or another deadly disease. Then a new study is released that refutes the previous one. The food that causes deadly diseases is safe to eat, but now another one takes its […]
Today’s post ignites a new era for the blog. Entrepreneurship is much more than business, it is a lifestyle that encompasses all that one does. At the forefront of this is self-care which involves the interior and exterior body. The interior being governed by the mind. A muscle that rarely gets stretched. That said, I […]
There is one thing that makes this journey better. Scratch that, there are a lot of things but one thing, in particular, that takes the cake so to speak. The post-workout shake is not the answer for those of you who count down the seconds till you can drink one. Nor is it a specific […]
There is just something about doing meaningful work that gets me through the day. Meaningful work is anything that we give a purpose. I know that seems simple, yet I guarantee many have yet to find this purpose. The Common Problem Each of us has a repertoire of ideas that will make a difference in […]
After years of fine-tuning in conjunction with a bit of trial and error. I have reached a point where my cardio workouts exert the right amount of energy in the given time. Therefore, allowing me to burn just enough to continue my current program. Three exercises make up each set and there are six sets […]
Continuing from my last post, what is an appropriate goal? Before jumping directly to an answer, take a step back to think about the goals you have set in your life thus far. Do they consist of easy tasks, hard tasks, beneficial ones or simple ones? If they are a mixture of all of these […]
There are times when our daily/ weekly business goals are not enough. We accomplish everything on the checklist, yet, there is no real sense of achievement. This was very common when I first started and it got me so frustrated. It was like no matter what the goals were there was always more that could […]
(IF) … to most this is recognized as the word if but to others this capitalization means Intermittent fasting. A form of fasting that focuses on cycling between eating and fasting to yield a plethora of health benefits. Before going into more detail I’d like to point out (as usual) that I am not a […]
In the beginning, motivation is high, excitement is through the roof and you feel unstoppable. There is no one telling you what to do or how to do it. Rather, you are the captain of the ship, rocket, or any metaphor that come to mind. Startup names start to form, social media profiles are made, […]
One of the most important parts of living a healthy life is how we nourish ourselves and what that consists of. Now I am not a nutritionist (I know a good plant-based one if you need) but over the years I’ve tried a few “diets”. Some of them are carb cycling, high protein, fasting, just […]
Remember in my last post where I talked about using second-guessing as impulse control? If not you should take a look at my last post to help jog your memory. For those of you who do remember this and have been keeping up with me, welcome back! Thanks for your support. Anyway enough of the […]
