“To thine own self be true” is a known expression that means to stay true and honest with yourself. To not worry about pleasing others or living by society’s standards and rules but rather to live according to their own beliefs and morals. The untethered soul is about yourself and how to let go of painful memories that keep your heart closed, allowing you to free yourself from your own habitual thoughts and emotions that limit your consciousness. Michael A. Singer attempts to get his readers to see themselves from different angles and the ability to free themselves from the constant chatter of the psyche, allowing them to step back, refocus, and view these life experiences objectively.  This is my second time reading this book; I wanted to deepen my understanding of what this book is really all about. My first read was a few years ago, recommended by my hairdresser, hoping it would help me as it did for her. Being a bookworm, I was open to any recommendations, so I was eager to purchase and dive into the book at my earliest opportunity. I felt like I was freefalling, as if the author slowly opened the doors to a new way of living and how to remove the walls I built around myself. It was not until the second time reading this book that I understood that now my walls are down; how do I keep them from coming back up and living a life without resistance? First, I had to figure out who I was and live a life of honesty, to myself first and foremost. For me, living an honest life is a life of liberation and peace without any resistance, as resistance takes more energy than acceptance. The spiritual path of non-resistance is a hard path that takes years of self-discipline and perseverance. I struggle with this every day, hoping someday I get it right. Nevertheless, nothing worth having comes easy. Rating: 9.5/10

There is no getting around it; daily physical activity improves your health and reduces the risk of certain diseases. Exercise also helps you lose weight and have a profound impact on your mental health. Starting on this journey to a healthier lifestyle could be tough mentally and physically. But as you build muscles and become stronger, exercising becomes less of a challenge but more of a hobby. Here are a few basic tips to get you started. 1. There is a learning curve - Starting anything requires time to learn what works for you and your body. Figuring out which exercise suits you best will take time. 2. Your body and mind are not conditioned - Starting a new hobby can be challenging, and your mind is not prepared for this new lifestyle. There will be times when your mind and body want you to give up, but keep in mind that integrating these into your routine and life has many benefits. Condition your mind and body to this new hobby and push through it! 3. Don't overdo it - If you overtax your body, you can end up injuring yourself, so take your time and never overwork yourself. 4. Use lighter weights - This kind of goes with the #3, but as you build muscle and get stronger, you will progress faster when you start with lighter weights, then move forward to heavier weights when your body is ready. 5. Warm-up and cool down - Always make sure you warm up and cool down. Warm-up your muscle before starting your workout to help prevent injuries and cool down to bring your body and mind back into a calm state.
