Picture this: It's Monday morning, and you had an awesome weekend filled with friends and fun. So, why in the world do you feel so lousy now?

60 Questions That Can Improve Your Relationship with Your Parents Now

2 weeks ago | verywellmind.com | Sanjana Gupta

We think we know our parents, but how much do we know about what their lives were like before we came along? How well do we really know them, beyond their roles as “Mom” or “Dad”? The truth is, they’re not just our parents; they’re also people. People with stories we’ve never heard, feelings they’ve never shared, and memories we weren’t part of. Being a parent is just one dimension of their identity.
9 Things Sleep Experts Recommend Doing At Night to Be Happier in the Morning

3 weeks ago | verywellmind.com | Katharine Chan

I have terrible sleep at least a couple of nights a week. I’ll wake up grumpy, tired and irritated. It’s an awful way to start my day. But by the time it’s bedtime, even though I know I should hit the hay, I end up scrolling on my phone and watching random clips that rot my brain. It’s a tough cycle to beat. I wish I could wake up feeling refreshed, in a good mood and ready to tackle my morning.
I Drank Bone Broth Every Day for a Week to Stave Off Brain Fog-Did It Work?

3 weeks ago | verywellmind.com | Kendra Cherry

Is it just me, or is bone broth having a moment? All my favorite influencers seem to be sipping it to soothe some ailment or another. It’s purportedly good for your gut, joints, skin, and, according to some, your brain. In fact, some proponents suggest that bone broth can even help clear up brain fog. Brain fog is something that's plagued me on and off since I had kids (particularly after my twins were born), typically the result of a combination of stress and sleep deprivation.

3 weeks ago | verywellmind.com | Naydeline Mejia

From Stanley Cup hauls to soundbite-y reviews of popular electrolyte drinks like AG1 and Liquid I.V., the TikTok generation is obsessed with hydration, and your 16-year-old cousin whose go-to bag is a hot pink Stanley cup might have a point. For one, I am generally mildly dehydrated as a human being (I have been told multiple times by the same aura reader that she could see I don’t drink enough water through my aura portrait).
Why Are We So Afraid of Aging?

3 weeks ago | verywellmind.com | Wendy Rose Gould

As much as we wish it weren't true, there often comes a point in life where celebrating birthdays goes from a joyful milestone to one with an undercurrent of melancholy. It symbolizes getting older and all the things that come with it—graying hair and more pronounced expression lines, a body that’s a bit more tired than it used to be, and worries of turning “invisible” in our society. We measure time differently, not in how far we've come but in how quickly it's passing.
Should You Share Your Location With Your Partner?

4 weeks ago | verywellmind.com | Nick Ingalls

Let's start with the obvious: location sharing is a pretty cool example of modern technology. If a friend, family member, or partner has shared their location with you on their phone, you can open up the relevant app and see exactly where they (or at least their phone) are at any given time. My wife and I do have location sharing turned on, but use it only sparingly.
15 Times You Shouldn't Feel Bad About Breaking Up With Someone

4 weeks ago | verywellmind.com | Sanjana Gupta

Breakups are painful (for both parties), especially when you care about the person and don’t want to hurt them. But sometimes you just don’t feel it anymore, even if your partner is kind, has a good head on their shoulders, and your mom loves them. Although breaking up with them feels awful, staying in a relationship that doesn’t feel right can be worse in the long run. “You’re not obligated to stay in a relationship you’re no longer emotionally invested in.
