Greetings to you all.I talked to my good
friend and fellow author today--Mr. J Guevara. This guy is an amazing
storyteller. Every time I read something that he's written, I can only
shake my head and acknowledge the wonderful gift that he has and the
wonderful gift that he is to us in being able to write in a way that
weaves stories in the way that he does.

G Simms GSimms-HealthandWellness.com Stress is at an all time high for most people. That being said, you
should resolve to developing a stress reduction plan that you can commit to.
Living on the fringes of "burn out" does not create a high quality of
life. So, if you don't have a personal stress management program, it's
time you made it a priority to learn stress relief strategies to protect
your mental and physical health. When your body is under stress,
it reacts by producing and flooding... Continue reading ...

It pays to understand a bit about Gary Simms' background and life experiences to truly appreciate his quick direct wit and oft times profoundly introspectiv... Continue reading ...

G Simms GSimms-HealthandWellness.com In my previous article, I talked about multi-tasking as the monster that it is. In this article, it only makes sense to discuss Focus as a strategy for success. I cover this in my book "The Top 25 Things You Can Do to Change Your Life for the Better...Forever". When putting together the chapters for the book, Focus jumped out and screamed at me. How could I not have this as the very first chapter. Interestingly enough, that very day gave me yet another re... Continue reading ...
GSimms GSimms-HealthandWellness.com One of my nearest and dearest sent me an email today about this horrid thing called multi-tasking. The comments made here will surely cause rancor among those whose jobs it is to push their subordinates to the point of literal collapse before saying something pitiful like, "I really appreciated that effort." It stands to reason, that with an opening like the previous paragraph, you won't have to be a rocket scientist or Sherlock Holmes to figure out where I'm g... Continue reading ...

Dating back to 1869 when a French food
chemist succeeded in making a cheap substitute for the real thing
which had become scarce and expensive because of a European cattle
plague, margarine was born. In its original form, it was a hard,
white and glossy substance made from beef fat, milk and chopped
sheep's stomachs and cow's breasts and was used primarily by the
poor. (1)
In the years that followed, the product
was allegedly improved by the introduction o... Continue reading ...
GSimms GSimms-HealthandWellness.com Over the last two months, I've written quite a few articles about gratitude. And while thinking about them today, it dawned on me to ask, "what are you grateful about?" Feel free to send a comment and share. It's that time of the year and I know that many people find themselves bummed out because the economy doesn't allow them to spend lots of money. Many people are out of work and are doing everything they can to survive. I guess the mindset of not feeling ... Continue reading ...
GSimms GSimms-HealthandWellness.com How many times have we dealt with someone and walked away mumbling, "he ought to take a chill pill...whew!!!" My point is--it's easy to identify stress in other people. But the million dollar question that you should ask and then answer is--have you looked at yourself lately? It is unfortunate that we normally allow our personal stress to linger for far too long. We typically will make an effort to do something about our personal stress when it has just about...

I was engaged in a rather involved conversation with a gentleman about health and wellness. As I shared my thoughts, he hung on to every word and was truly benefitting from the conversation. Near the end of the conversation, we exchanged information. I provided him with my websites and a link to order a copy of my book. And as was his inquisitive nature, he wanted to...

G Simms GSimms-HealthandWellness.com I recently had the good fortune of speaking with an aspiring writer (college student) who learned that I was a writer. Upon his learning that I had just completed a book on health and wellness/self improvement, among his many questions, he asked me the question that I routinely get whenever I talk with people about my book. Why did I choose to write this book? As always, my answer is immediate and two-fold. First, know what I learned from my personal experie... Continue reading ...
