I have never really been into "fitness," although I held a traditional gym membership on and off 10 years prior to having kids. I mostly did this for socialization after work, not necessarily to enhance my physical and mental wellbeing (although I guess you can argue the social aspect for mental wellbeing). After having [...]
One business that got a tremendous unpredicted boost during the COVID-19 pandemic was the pet adoption business. Sales for dogs and cats have soared these past several months. People are trying to fill emotional voids with pet companionship. With socialization opportunities limited these days, many people are looking for something to bring joy to [...]
Finding time for wellness during the workday can be tricky. It’s easy to lose track of time and forget to take breaks or get away from your desk. However, there are lots of ways to carve out time during the day where you can. Even a few minutes here and there add up and [...]
Much like everyone in the world, 2020 was not a good year for me. Most of us have been stressed to the max, tired, and just mentally drained by every day, abnormal circumstances (because this “new” normal, is abnormal in my opinion.) Also, much like everyone else, I had to make some adjustments to [...]
Much to my children’s dismay, my wife and I have become gym rats. It started with my wife. She had been taking a yoga class now and then to relieve stress and counter the lethargy of sitting at a desk all day. In mid-2018, she got serious, joined a small local gym, and began [...]

To misappropriate a quote from Charles Dickens “It was the best of times it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness”, it was 2020 and the age of COVID. Wellness is widely promoted and encouraged at netlogx and I appreciate this. Personally, I have [...]
Often when we hear the words “wellness routine,” we instantly think of an unattainable workout routine, unnecessarily strict diets or eating habits, or even lavish yoga retreats. But in 2020, with many individuals working from home, the words “wellness routine” have taken a different, often more simple meaning. A wellness routine should be different [...]
During each liturgical season of Advent and Lent, I make an effort to journal every day on a specific theme. This practice has been a part of my wellness routine for several years as a way to make sure I take 15-20 minutes each day to slow down, calm down, and reflect on the [...]
I’ve been a runner since I was at school and as you may have guessed I was at school a longish time ago! In the 80’s when city marathons first began to open up, I trained for and ran my first marathon in Liverpool wearing Dunlop Green Flash tennis shoes. Tennis shoes! There was [...]
