Ready, set… reset!

Sometimes I am so far off from myself that I know I just need to hit the reset button. It can be easy to think, “after the weekend I will” or “one more cheat meal and I will.” This thinking slows me down and spirals me into frustration.

Sometimes, to be perfectly honest, I will wait til after that meal or after that weekend.

But I am trying to reset faster, with my end goal being not wavering AS much that I have to reset as often.

Why do I feel this way? Where did that come from?

I wonder if it’s beneficial to answer the question of why or where; would concluding something really make me feel better?

Maybe. But, maybe not.

Can we – I – just name what we are feeling with acceptance and see where it shows up in our bodies? And then take it from there?

Feeling Free. How to get there.

How does one act in order to feel free? What action does someone take or what habits might they need to build in order to feel free? It can actually be a lot simpler than it sounds. There are action opportunities everywhere.

How do you want to feel?

How do I want to feel? I’ve been asking myself that question a lot lately. I come to it when … More

Aaaand… we are back.

The new me, well, she is in that weird middle ground where, yah she kinda cares. She kinda isn’t sure about putting her heart, thoughts and emotions out there for anyone to read, because, like, WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

Bravery and courage. How do we get there?

Bravery, courage and fearlessness. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. How does one become this way? To be brave and courageous?

How do you start your day?

I’ve tried to develop a little routine for myself – things to purposely do in the morning that I know will make me feel calm and together, before I start my day. When I feel like my own needs and wants are attended to, I feel more likely to be productive and efficient in knocking things off the to do list. I feel more motivated and ready to give to the demands of the people and energies around me.

Goals and plans for the NEW year. Is it enough?

For whatever reason putting my goals and dreams neatly on a clean paper, in my new clean day planner, using different colored pens, marking with stars and hearts, makes it official.
Is this enough? Am I playing too small? Are these goals all truly mine? Can I do more?

End 2017 strong. Make your choice now to leave the crazy frantic energy of December behind and move forward into your new year powerfully and purposefully.

God, in this moment

Let me share, that the word GOD isn’t one I’ve been particularly comfortable with. Like, at ALL. But I’ve been seeking, as I do. And recently, I’ve been interchanging my go to word the UNIVERSE, with the word GOD. But I haven’t spoken much of that word… just played with it here and there. Never really committing to it.
But this moment… the voice in my head or in my heart… “Can I find God in this?”

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.” ~ Toni Morrison

Another lesson in compassion: finding old journals and being okay with who I was

It’s only when I actually slow myself down from being sucked back into the past, into the hurt and into that fear based way of living, that I can pause long enough and realize I don’t have to hurt AS that old girl. I don’t have to GO back to those experiences. I can find the lesson and leave the experience….

I love a rainy day

Getting inspired to create

How do I find inspiration for something to write about? It’s few and far between some days… here are my go tos.

Things I have learnt by starting a new relationship, after trying to heal from a break up that I thought would kill me.

…the thing about healing, is that there is no recipe or step-by-step instructions to begin, in order to get to the other side. You just sort of have to move through it. The thick and shittiness of it all… Here are some of my lessons, Maybe you can relate.

How to maximize your weekend

Do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough time on the weekends? I mean, Friday hits and, YES, it’s here! But then you blink and it’s Sunday night and you think, where did the time go? What did I do with my life the last two days?

The shitty work

I’ve realized that with any struggles in life, we have to do the shitty work. We have to. There is no easy work. There are no easy buttons to our lives. To really get what we want, totally and completely, we have to do the shitty work.

Amazing people…

There are some really terrible people out there. But, the cool thing is that there are even more super duper people out there… Just take a look around…

Beautiful People

Beautiful people are my favourite. They inspire me. I try to be one and I do my best to associate with the likes of them.
So, what does it take to be seen as beautiful? It’s pretty simple if you ask me…

A Spiritual Journey: Who signed me up for this?

I think most of us want growth and expansion in our lives. And when we decide that, it is almost like the Universe begins to conspire on our behalf… adding players and scenes into our days that will aid in our growth and expansion. Our little worlds suddenly become bigger, deeper, richer. And sometimes, more complicated. It’s funny. I beleive when you make the decision that you “want more” out of life, life will give you more. And there is really no way to turn back.

Acceptance? Yah right.

The things we struggle with are most often the place where our biggest lessons lie dormant, waiting to be breathed to life… what are you struggling with?
