Ups and downs throughout the day are normal and are part & parcel of our lives. However, with some easy tricks, you can feel good all day (for most of it, at least!).
Not everyone is a morning person and some of us have difficulties getting started. Why not try starting your day off with a BANG? Literally jump out of your bed and get moving!
Movement involves light stretching, jumping
You've just signed up for a race / run event / marathon (or perhaps it's on your to-do list for the year) - your longest race to date, or the longest one in a while - and now, reality’s beginning to sink in. Given your busy work schedule, social life, travels and bad weather or pollution days for some, how exactly are you going to prep for it? By putting one foot in front of the other, that’s how!

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition of health is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
How often do we see people start making lifestyle changes only when they or someone close to them falls ill? Why wait for something to go wrong to only have to spend more time (and money) fixing it later?
Whether you’re on a mission to launch your own brand, planning for
Have great ideas at work, but hesitant to share because of the fear of what other people may think? Able to squat more then twice your weight in the gym but struggle during competitions as the pressure to perform is overwhelming?
Truly strong women embrace strength in all the various forms it presents itself. Strong Women allow themselves to be loved, to be vulnerable, to be support & empowered - and in turn, support other Women and the broader community
Do you ever wish you could flick a switch, unwind and feel more relaxed, focused and clear? Do you find yourself going to sleep with unresolved tensions or still feeling stressed out after a busy day?
Also known as yogic sleep, Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest forms of meditation. It is a combination of allowing your body to relax while you keep your mind awake. By doing this, you reach a profound state of relaxation.

Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, starting on your entrepreneurial journey or a new mom, being Busy and getting ahead at work / school / life doesn’t mean sacrificing everything else...
...more importantly, you'll need to have the ability & health (mental, physical, emotional) to be Busy!
It's probably tough to "have it all" - but there are definitely little ways or simple habits you can put in place to have some anchors in your life.

Fat was once proclaimed to be the culprit of heart diseases and hence, the food industry started to produce all sorts of low-fat foods. But, how can you make low-fat food taste delicious?
...By adding SUGAR - more specifically, by adding fructose. Heart diseases didn’t reduce with all the low-fat diets and in fact, more recent studies show that sugar increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, ages the body and fructose increases your risk of metabolic syndrome (including

Running a marathon or race takes preparation. Planning is king because without it, you jeopardize any chances of performing at your full potential, and ultimately ending up disappointed. You may even take a step back and assess your life, sometimes revamping it completely because eating like crap, half-assing your training, and sleeping late isn’t akin to 'success'... All these lifestyle changes just for a couple of hours of running with a group of strangers (just as crazy and stupid
I’m sure most, if not all, of us have trouble with staying positive and being able to control how we react & feel in different situations.
I’ve spent nearly 3 years now on Instagram where I actively follow many inspiring people, and one thing that I was amazed by at the start was how positive some of them always seemed to be. Of course, social media is but a tiny portion of someone’s life - but at
With a background as a gymnast, rugby player and more recently a Strongman competitor & powerlifter, Daniella May Lee Means often gets asked what being strong means to her.
Strength has so many meanings to different people. Daniella shares with us her version of STRONG and her views on the hashtag #StrongNotSkinny.
Strength doesn't lie in just your physicality. “I always say it's simply being able to do something you previously thought you could not do. This relates to being
What is STRONG to you? We are so lucky to be surrounded by inspiring women in The Busy Woman Project community. This month, we share our conversations with a number of amazing ladies who are leading the pack in pushing barriers and breaking stereotypes.
“Wah girl, you’re so buff! You lift a lot of heavy weights ah? Be careful, don’t overdo it. Otherwise become like man”.

With #TEAMBUSYWOMAN, we believe there are little ways to live better. Start small. It’s way too overwhelming to jump immediately into 'eating clean' entirely and to have a completely new diet or routine.
Let's start with something as simple a 10-min healthy lunch recipe - enjoy the taste of food you've prepared on your own, and perhaps do this with a couple of your SweatBuddies!
