But first, there is camp, where more shall be revealed than Drew offensive philosophy. Originally, the word was that the roster would only include the fourteen players that the Hawks have under contract. However, there have been some few additions that include forward Ricardo Marsh (Old Dominion), guard Richard Delk (Troy), and forward Evan Brock (Alabama). Authentic Bjoern Werner Jersey

If you a diehard basketball fan, it can come quick enough, and still won in the month of September. But there is some good news, and that news is that training camp is less than a fortnight away. Although it ahead of time, here aresix questions we might consider going into training camp. Mind you, some of them are questions we already asked, and there will be some that I haven thought of, or simply didn list. By all means, feel free to give answers to the ones I pose, pose some of your own, and so on. But for now, here my six, along with some opinionated commentaryI think it safe to say that the Hawks have concluded their offseason roster moves where the frontcourt is concerned. Having signed Etan Thomas and Josh Powell to fill the depth in the paint behind starters Al Horford and Josh Smith, and backups Zaza Pachulia and Jason Collins, what next?

Nothing, quite possibly. In addition to the aforementioned six frontcourt players, the Hawks also have Marvin Williams, Mo Evans, Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford, Mike Bibby, Jeff Teague, and Jordan Crawford under contract. This meets the roster minimum of thirteen players, and the Hawks don want to get a single penny closer to the luxury tax if they can help it. That begs a question or two (or four). Or maybe it just what the doctor ordered for the Atlanta Hawks. Perhaps are not the wordsone wouldideally wantto use in describing the Hawks most recent free agent acquisition, but if still fits, we be happy that Etan Thomas is now aboard. The 6 center/power forward was certainly known for his toughness when he was on the court, prior to all the health problems. Can he regain some semblance of the bruiser and rebounder he used to be, or will he turn out to be another minimum salary vet that is past the point of contribution? We know Etan will work hard, as he has always done. The question is whether or not he work effectively. If he effective, he can have a number of positive effects on the Hawks. He could be an upgrade (or a motivation) over Jason Collins, who wasn of much use last season.

In that spirit, the HuffPost Healthy Living editors tested out a handful of wellbeing apps that promise to promote a more balanced, zen life. Check out our thoughts below, then tell us in the comments what apps you swear by.

How it works: This app is essentially a guided breathing course. You get to choose from a variety of music, sounds and animations to coach you through a few minutes of inhaling and exhaling. You can also log your sessions to keep track of your progress, with the goal of working toward more advanced training. (Only the beginner sessions are available in the free version.) David Lee Jersey

Time commitment: From five to 60 minutes, whenever you feel like it. With the full version, you can create more customized sessions.

How we felt: There's good science to back up a fact we all know: A few deep breaths really can do wonders for kicking stress to the curb. We felt much lighter after focusing only on our breath for just a few minutes, and the sounds and animations of the app helped keep the mind from wandering during the process.

Would we use it again: Maybe. We don't absolutely need an app to remember to take a few deep breaths every once in a while. But under a lot of stress, we might lean on the app to steer our minds back to clarity.

How it works: This app allows you to create your own zen garden and save your images in order to revisit your design. Complete with a selection of soothing music, Zen Space lets you choose what tools and addons you want to use in order to create the most optimal, peaceful experience.

Time commitment: Anywhere from one minute to one hour completely up to you.

How we felt: Any step toward creating more calm in our lives is a good step, and this app allows you to do that. The music is relaxing and it definitely set a pace that can help regulate breathing and get you into a meditative state. That being said, we found our minds wandering after a few moments of use. When it comes to this method of creating inner peace, you might be better off with something more tangible. We'd rather unplug from our devices and take the real zen garden over the virtual one.

Would we use it again: We'd use it again, especially when looking for some soothing music, but it wouldn't be a goto app.

How it works: The Zen Wisdom app presents a "daily wisdom" quote from the Zen Buddhism tradition, with the option to save or share it, as well as a comprehensive collection of random Zen quotes that can be perused and saved to a favorites folder at any time.

Time commitment: Virtually none.

How we felt: Most us could use a little more zen in our lives, and this app is a good place to start. Many of the daily quotes (from the Dalai Lama, Alan Watts, Buddha, and more) were genuinely calming and comforting, as well as applicable to anyone's life. Zen is all about finding peace and wholeness in the present moment, and the words of wisdom offered good reminders to be mindful and seek simplicity. Although the design and typography left something to be desired, the quotes themselves ("simplify yourself as much as possible") are a good introduction to Zen, and they're important reminders to keep life's challenges in perspective.

Would we use it again: We'd use the app again, though probably not regularly. There's not a whole lot you can do with it, but the daily quote is a nice way to insert a little bit of Zen wisdom into your day.

How it works: You "dip" your finger into a water tray on the screen and then "paint" on the board, which looks a bit like an Etch A Sketch you can customize the brush style, water tray style and board color. Each brush stroke fades out over time, and you have the option to turn on relaxing music. According to the app, "Buddha Board is based on the Zen concept of living in the moment, you create your design on the screen, and then as it slowly disappears, you are left with a clean slate and a clear mind ready to create a new masterpiece."

Time commitment: A couple of minutes.

How we felt: We're not all the most artistic, meaning most of the creations were hardly zen "masterpieces," but there was something relaxing about using the app, if only in that it served as a break from a hectic day. It was fun to experiment with the various colors and brush shapes, and the music was actually soothing. It's also very simple, with minimal time commitment, which we liked.

Would we use it again: We might use it again when in need of a distraction during downtime (maybe on the subway). But there's only so many squiggles a nonartistic gal (or guy) can make before it's time to move on.

How it works: The navigation app is designed to take you from point A to point B in a new way: with mindfulness. Instead of basic turn by turn directions, the app takes you up buildings and under bridges with instructions on who to talk to and pictures to take. The goal is to open your mind and eyes to your environment along your commute.

Time commitment: You should have a decent amount of time to get to where you're going as you'll be asked to stop and carry out activities along the way. You can change the complexity of the route to shorten or lengthen the steps included in the navigation for your time convenience.

How we felt: The use of the app as a navigation system needs some work it couldn't find routes to the addresses put in the destination. That meant the only option was to go to a random destination, which required us to carve out time just to use this app. It was however a great way to discover new places and people in the neighborhood. There are also restrictions on what you can actually accomplish, which the app does not account for.

Would we use it again: This app is not for the reserved. The instructions often ask you to follow someone, or ask people if you can take their picture on your phone. It's a very cool concept but not something everyone would feel comfortable doing instructions also include "follow that person until they go indoors . take a picture of the door they went through." We might use it again with friends (not alone) for an activity to get outdoors.

Relaxing Sounds of Nature Lite Stephen Curry Warriors Jersey

Price: Free for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

How it works: The app has naturebased soundscapes, like crashing waves, jungle sounds and the hum of crickets. Along with sounds, each category has its own collection of images. If you're feeling stressed out, you can create your own visual and sound boards by matching sounds and images as a way to relax, reduce stress or even prepare for sleep or meditation. You can also mix several sounds together for a custom sound.

According to the app's creator, Red Hammer Software, the goal is to "help you get away from the noise of the city, feel free from the problems that surround you and help you fall asleep."

4 Tips for Getting Over Your Ex

1) Cut off all contact. Don't hang out where he/she hangs out. That also means unfriending on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, phone, etc. Don't stalk him/her on any dating sites. You don't want any signs of that person in your life. This will lessen your thoughts of your ex, which will eventually make it easier to move on. Pau Gasol Authentic Jersey

2) Don't talk about your ex. In the beginning, especially if you were dumped, you will be very hurt and want to talk about it. You'll ruminate. You'll dream about it. And then you'll talk some more. Your friends will listen until they can't take it any more. Some will be kind enough to ask you to stop. I had a client who was obsessing about her ex. She couldn't stop the negative mind chatter. 'What did I do wrong to cause the relationship to fail? Why did I say that to him? If I only did this or that, he wouldn't have broken up with me.' I told her that she couldn't use his name in a conversation with me anymore. She now calls him 'The Schmuck', but even that is not okay. The less she talks about him, the less she he will be front and center in her mind. And eventually, the pain will lessen and she'll find a better man.

3) Get busy doing great things. Keep yourself occupied with activities that will keep your mind off of your ex. Learn a new skill/hobby. Take a trip that you've been dreaming of. A good kind of busyness will help you like your life again. It will help you fall in love with yourself, which is the best way to avoid dating people like your ex again.

4) Don't date to forget. It's easy to jump into a new relationship on the rebound. Don't do it. I've seen too many clients who got remarried within one year of a divorce and divorced again a few years later. You need time to heal. Go on a dating detox. Take the time to be with yourself. Keep a journal. Discover why you chose your ex. Perhaps there is a pattern for choosing similar people who keep leaving you. Learn why you chose to stay, and what you might have done to contribute to the relationship ending. Find yourself a coach or therapist and learn what to do better next time. This includes making better choices from the onset of a relationship.

I suggest waiting about a year after a longterm relationship ends to begin dating again. This may seem like a long time, but it's so important. You don't want to go unconscious or numb in dating. Mindfulness and awareness of yourself, your boundaries, your relationship needs, and your ideal match will bring you the best dating results.

This is a complex issue and worthy of a much deeper discussion. These are just a few tips to make it easier for you to get over your ex. If you have other tips to share on how you got over an ex, please share your thoughts below.
