Tiny Habits, Big Shifts

I’m all about habit-hacks, rewiring our system and brain to work smarter not harder. I knew there were a few habits I felt I needed to break and a few I needed to start to support me. Trouble was, I couldn’t figure out a system yet.

For Your Mental Health

For years I’ve experienced anxiety and depression.

It took me a long time to realize this is what was happening, to seek support, to find acceptance, and to learn tools to manage the waves of anxiety and depression that came through me. It took a long time because I didn’t have adults around me in my upbringing that modeled what it looked like to ask for support, to take care of their mental health.

How do you end your year?

Reflection is a huge part of my personal growth and daily life, of being able to make sense of the things that don’t seem to make any sense at all. Taking the time to contemplate life and make meaning helps us deal with the experiences of life that have impacted us, consciously or unconsciously.

The Hallway in-between Spaces and Time

Once one door closes and we’re waiting for the other door to open, We’re in the hallway. It may feel like a really long, dark hallway. The challenge is for us to stay in the hallway long enough, to be in the discomfort and the growth long enough, so we are prepared to walk through that next open door.

Experimenting with presence

Being present allows us to notice. To notice the subtleties around us and within. Being present allows us to connect with ourself and listen to our own thoughts, feel what’s really going on with us, and be able to listen deeply to our inner knowing.
