I’m Marie Well, as in healthy well. At least, that’s my aim—to get well and make you well. We all have woes, from breakups to cancer to hoarder houses. I’m here to fix those woes—with tips mixed with my own tales.
Why read me? I’ve got a track record of fixin’ stuff. I’ve cured myself of anxiety. For a decade, I had anxiety attacks that struck almost daily. When not stricken, I’d write Voice articles, mostly on how to combat stress.
And then my world changed. One week went by with no attacks. A month. A year. Two years. And counting.
Now, I want to skyrocket our health—and bolster our creativity. After all, nothing soothes better than strokes of paint or tones of music or reps in a gym.
So, let’s get fit, creative, and well with Marie Well.

I stepped into enlightenment; only for a few days—or perhaps just an evening. But those few days changed me forever.

You want to accelerate your learning, right? I watched a good friend gain mastery of PhD level subjects.

That requires zeroing in… Read more »
What should you do when your belly growls? I interviewed with two social justice warriors days ago. And I needed the job. Badly. We were meeting at a restaurant. I wondered, “Would they buy dinner?” Earlier that day, for the first time, I ate banana peels. Without those peels, I’d have had no energy to… Read more »
Meditation can not only boost your grades but also invite you to feel the greatest freedom and deepest awakening imaginable. I’ve adopted a winning mindset. I’m on my first week of changing my mind from a “me” focus to a “you” focus. I’ve instantly rid myself of almost all grudges. I’ve replaced my grudges with… Read more »
The more we give 110% to life, the happier—and more successful—we grow. We may smile more easily. And smiles beget smiles. Same with effort: 110% effort snowballs—and soon becomes second nature. After all, it takes “anywhere from 18 days to 254 days for people to form a new habit.” Best of all, each day gets… Read more »
Lists! Most of us do them all wrong. But not after today. I’ve discovered list-making secrets that will skyrocket your academic and career success.

Do you desire to be eatin’, choppin’, and kickin’ at 110? I do. But what if we sip colas? Munch muffins? Or pucker up to gooey pizza pies? Well, junk food strips us of our longest life. But what about the lucky ones who live past 100? What do they devour that we don’t? Some… Read more »
How might love, comedy, kindness, beauty—whatever defines your soul—fit into your research assignment? Shouldn’t you be an aloof observer writing as objectively as possible?

Today was my birthday, and my sister, who phones me once a year, never phoned. Instead my beloved niece wished me a happy birthday from my sister via Facebook text message. I felt like crying. I messaged my niece that every human has a low point in life. When we hit our low, which we… Read more »
