You Are Amazing!
You are AMAZING. Truly, you ARE! However, if “I’m not that bad” is as much as you can manage right now, please stop for a moment and find a statement that does not have a “not” in it. Our brains disregard those negatives and tend to focus on the rest of the sentence. Hence, “I’m […]
Gratitude
As I’ve struggled with writing three different articles over the past few weeks and not yet published a single thing, it finally occurred to me to write about something that I am so absolutely familiar with that I would have to completely snuff it out with perfectionism for it not to get published! So, with […]
The Simplest Things Are The Most Profound
A sunrise or a sunset. Happens every day, doesn’t it? And until we really notice and become aware of that sunrise or sunset, it just seems like such a simple, almost mundane thing. The sun comes up. The sun goes down. The sun comes up. The sun goes down… But, what majesty! What beauty! How […]
“I Should…”
“I should _________________________.” How do you fill in the blank? Got a long list of stuff that you “should” do? Yeah, me too, but I am ever so careful to keep my awareness of that word on high! When you hear (or think), “You should (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah),” don’t you get the sense […]
Organizing Time
Otherwise known as time management, organizing time can be elusive. When it is all laid out and clearly defined, all is well — except when there is too much structure. Then there’s the temptation to scrap it all because it feels like there’s not enough space to breathe or move or think clearly! I know […]
Organizing … Part of Self-Care?
What do you think of organizing? More importantly, what do you think of yourself when it comes to organizing? This is an area that many of us either glorify or curse. We look at the homes of our organized friends and think, “Ah, what would it be like to live like that? My life would […]
Caring for Yourself by Pursuing Your Passion
As I watched a mesmerizing performance by Missouri Contemporary Ballet a couple of years ago, tears came to my eyes. Tears? Why tears? I experienced the simultaneous feelings of total bliss and deep sadness. The bliss was very easy to understand because I love dance. I love watching dance, and I have always loved to […]
“ADD-ish”
Aha! I finally found what to call “it”! You know, that place where you kind of think you might have ADD, but you don’t know if you have ADD? You’re not sure if getting distracted or being disorganized or procrastinating might mean you have ADD, or just that life is stressful and sometimes overwhelming. “ADD-ish.” […]
Drained, Dry and Devoid of Ideas
Oooo! How inspiring! “Drained, dry and devoid of ideas”! As I went about the process of writing my article, I stumbled a bit. Well, I stumbled a LOT! I didn’t feel well on the day that I had picked to write it, nor the next day. I had some ideas that I could have certainly […]
“I DON’T WANT TO!”
Is Your Inner Child in Your Face? Mine has been lately… Very adult-like (I thought), I set out to make some changes… “AAAAAAAAUGH!” screamed that little person inside my head, followed by “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” This response didn’t happen right away, and honestly, the words in my head weren’t exactly those, but they do quite succinctly summarize […]
