“All you have to do is believe—even if you’re not convinced.” You may have come across the Law of Attraction in various ways—a meme, a LinkedIn post, a conversation.

It’s about focus—understanding that what you give energy to will grow.It’s about acting as if the life you want is already in motion.It’s about believing—even before you feel ready.And it’s about knowing when to stop staring in the rearview, so you don’t miss what’s ahead.

How to Drink Less Without Feeling Like You’re Missing Out

Lili Kazemi July 20, 2025

Let’s talk about drinking—not the college kind or the corporate happy hour kind. The “it’s been a long day, I deserve this” kind. Maybe it’s a glass of wine while making dinner. A cocktail after a long travel day. A craft beer after a “successful” workout (yes, I’ve done that). These aren’t benders. They’re rituals—and that’s exactly why they’re so sticky. Inspired by Vox’s fantastic Even Better Guide to Drinking Less by Allie Volpe (highly recommend subscribing), I’ve been reflecting on how to change the habit without losing the reward. Here’s what I learned—and what’s actually been working. 🔥 Real…

Are You a Narcissist? Take the Psychology Today Quiz

Lili Kazemi July 19, 2025

What I learned by answering like one—and then answering as myself. If the internet has a favorite personality accusation, it’s narcissist.It’s practically a dating app default. But what does it actually mean? So I decided to find out—for real. 🧠 Narcissism: Not Just About Mirrors The term comes from Narcissus, a character in Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection. It’s become shorthand for self-absorption, but narcissism is more about emotional manipulation, lack of empathy, and fragile ego than it is about selfies. 🧪 I Took the Quiz—Two Ways The quiz I used was the [Psychology Today…

What being a “Karen” Really Means in 2025

Lili Kazemi July 19, 2025

Why the “Karen” label is more complicated—and more revealing—than you think. Lately I have been doing a lot of self-reflection. I was at a conference this week, and sitting next to a friend at a luncheon. She couldn’t eat the salad because she had nut allergies (it had pesto dressing). I asked her, why don’t you ask the waiter for a no-nuts salad? She whispered under her breath, “I don’t want to come off as a Karen…” I asked for the substitution for her, because I could not believe we had gotten to the point where the fear of being…

The Psychology of Style: How Enclothed Cognition Can Help You Focus, Perform, and Feel Like a Boss

Lili Kazemi July 16, 2025

Dressed to Impress… Your Brain? You’ve probably heard the phrase “dress for the job you want.” But what if I told you that what you wear doesn’t just change how others perceive you—it actually changes how you think, feel, and perform? This isn’t fashion fluff. It’s backed by science. Wait, what is enclothed cognition? “Enclothed cognition” is a behavioral science concept that explains how our clothing influences our mental state. In one landmark study, participants performed better on attention-based tasks simply by wearing a lab coat described as a doctor’s coat. The catch? The improvement only happened when the coat…

Tiny Prompts, Atomic Payoffs: The Habit Hack That Actually Works

Lili Kazemi July 1, 2025

Why Do Habits Matter? I have written a number of posts and chapters about habits. Why do they matter so much? Because sustainable change is not instant. It is iterative. And if you think about it, it is a string of microtransactions formed by habits that add up to a transformational change in your life. Willpower? That’s a word you use if you want defeat. A life of constant white knuckling is no longer acceptable to me. And it doesn’t have to be acceptable to you, either. But – HOW? How do you make the change? How do you build…

Why I Always Eat This Before Dinner (And You Should Too)

Lili Kazemi June 24, 2025

You’ve probably heard the advice: “Eat your veggies first.” But how you eat them—and when—makes a huge difference. That’s the power of meal sequencing. Meal sequencing is a simple but powerful strategy where you eat foods in a specific order to help with satiety, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. And in my daily routine, it’s become a game-changer for portion control, meal satisfaction, and food waste. So, what’s my go-to move?I start every major meal with The Big Salad.

Your Low-Cal Guide to Summer Starbucks Drinks

Lili Kazemi June 13, 2025

You know it’s summer when you start seeing pictures of the frothy, creamy, colorful Starbucks drinks pop up on the menu. What you might not know is that many of these favorites, even when not supersized, are the calorie and sugar equivalent of a large candy bar. And have far in excess of the recommended sugar intake sometimes on a daily basis. While following my 80-20 approach can definitely leave room for an indulgent Starbucks drink as is, regular consumption of these “empty calories” will not only add up but will leave you unsatisfied, as there is no significant amount…

Are Weight Loss Shots the New Diet?

Lili Kazemi May 29, 2025

It started as a side effect—and turned into a global phenomenon. In the development of a drug to treat type 2 diabetes, researchers discovered something unexpected: the active ingredient not only regulated blood sugar but also significantly reduced body weight. Suddenly, a new blockbuster industry was born. The surge began in 2018 with the U.S. debut of Ozempic, a GLP-1 receptor agonist by Novo Nordisk. Though not initially approved for weight loss, it quickly gained traction off-label as patients reported dramatic drops in weight. Novo Nordisk capitalized on this demand with Wegovy in 2021, a higher-dose version of semaglutide approved…
