But how does saying that you’re jealous make you feel? It has an icky after effect, right? Like accidentally eating moldy bread. This experiment is a practical exercise you can incorporate into your day. It is based on the theory of Like Attracts Like. Just as positive attracts…

5 Benefits of Yoga to your Workout

By Dublin, Ireland, Meditation, Motivational, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

The gym has always been a constant in my life but in recent months I have started going to Yoga in YogaHub.
