January 22, 2019 at 08:00PM Grudges allow us to honor justice without resentment. Continue Reading… Author Sophie Hannah | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue Most people think that holding grudges is the opposite of forgiving someone. It’s what we’re all trained to think from a very young age—that holding a grudge about someone means continuing to be angry and resentful and usually dislike or hate them too, at least to some extent. If we are full of negative and hostile feelings toward a person, then how can we forgive them emotionally and feel positive about them again? Even I assumed that holding a grudge was the opposite of forgiveness when I set out to write my book How to Hold a Grudge: From Resentment to Contentment—The Power of Grudges to Transform Your Life, despite the fact that I knew that holding grudges had been beneficial to me in a whole range of ways. To say I’ve changed my mind about this is an understatement. In the process of writing the book, I discovered that in fact holding a grudge is the best, fastest, and most effective way to achieve forgiveness, however counterintuitive that might sound. In order to discover why this is true and how holding grudges can aid forgiveness, we need first to look at definitions of both. Here’s the Oxford Dictionary’s definition of forgiveness: “to stop feeling angry or resentful towards (someone) for an offence, flaw, or mistake.” And here’s the definition from the same dictionary

Can’t Stop Picking At A Pimple? Here’s The Perfect Solution
January 21, 2019 at 10:00PM Why you should stop picking at your blemishes and why acne healing patches can help get your skin back on track. Continue Reading… Author Gretchen Lidicker | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue Blemishes are truly the worst. They’re painful, itchy, and they can last days or even weeks! For many of us, it’s virtually impossible not to pick at them. Unfortunately, this habit gets us nowhere. In fact, it can even exacerbate the problem, putting you at risk for infection, scarring, and longer healing times. Don’t believe me? Take it from Diana Yerks, lead esthetician at Rescue Spa: “Picking a blemish can force bacteria and debris further into the follicle, causing it to spread and worsen the infection. Throughout my experience, I have noticed that clients who leave their breakouts alone have less of a risk of residual post-inflammatory pigmentation that those who don’t.” Yikes. Healing your skin takes time, but blemish patches can help None of that sounds ideal, but luckily, this is a problem that can be solved. At mbg, we always recommend tackling skin health issues from the inside out, and that’s because internal imbalances—like those in the gut and with our hormones—often show up on the skin. Sadly, however, acne isn’t always something that heals easily or quickly. If you’re struggling with acne, a great place to start is an elimination diet—or going to see a functional medicine doctor who can pinpoint underlying issues that might be affecting your
A Certified KonMari Organizer Answers Our 11 Biggest Decluttering Questions
January 21, 2019 at 09:00PM What does it really mean to spark joy? Continue Reading… Author Emma Loewe | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue This month, Marie Kondo’s Netflix show sent the country on a furious, weeks-long tidying kick, leaving the secondhand industry with stacks of new merch and the rest of us with piles of residual questions. If you watched the show but haven’t quite gotten around to reading Kondo’s books, which provide a more comprehensive look at her method, chances are you have some too. An informal poll around the mindbodygreen office showed that we need follow-ups to just about every aspect of the Kondo method—from the granular (How do I fold my hoodies!?) to the big-picture (What does it really mean to spark joy?). Well, we couldn’t reach Kondo on the phone to answer them (she’s busy these days!), but we found the next best thing: a certified KonMari consultant. Lisa Tselebidis is one of over 200 organizers who are qualified to practice Kondo’s method with their clients, having graduated from the KonMari organizing school. The training program is a meticulously organized compendium of boxes, books, and lesson plans aimed to make students as adept at Kondo’s method as Kondo herself. In fact, Tselebidis says that KonMari consultants even worked behind the scenes of the Netflix show to help people out with their homework! Here’s what the Kondo aficionado had to say to all of our burning questions regarding the great joy-sparking renegade of 2019:
