Lullaby…and Good Night…
Sleep, glorious sleep, why are you so elusive? For me, anyway. How about you? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you getting quality sleep? I don’t remember sleep being so problematic when I was a kid. But, it does seem to be problematic now, so it deserves my attention to make it the best I […]
A Teenager Can Motivate You Towards Self-Care…
Well, well, well… Look at these thoughts I scribbled down a few weeks ago for a draft of an article. How ironic that today they are a perfect reminder of what I need to do to get back to a steadier place of self-care, so that I am giving myself a decent chance to be […]
Getting Things Done?
When it comes to getting things done, how do you proceed? Do you take the “eat-the-biggest-frog-first” approach and do the biggest or most difficult thing first? For some people, that approach can work very well. The idea is that by tackling the “biggest frog” first, you not only get that project done, but you also […]
The Order of Things
“Go do a little yoga,” the still, small voice in my head gently whispered. “But I’m tired, and if I get online, it’ll help me wake up!” the competing voice argued with authority. Guess which voice won out? The louder, argumentative voice scored a victory this time. However, not really a victory for me. Oh […]
“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 […]
“Do I Have ADD?”
Do I or Don’t I? “Do I have ADD?” Does this question ever pop up for you? Or, has someone else suggested that you have ADD (often not very kindly…)? If not knowing is bothering you, or if you find yourself struggling to cope, then by all means, please go meet with a psychologist or […]
Is There Enough?
Those icky, old familiar feelings. Panicky. Barely breathing because your lungs feel so tight. “Not enough money.” “Not enough time.” “Not doing enough.” “Maybe I’m just not enough…” Yuck. From there it can be a slippery slope to feeling discouraged, then overwhelmed, then hopeless. Have you been there? I certainly have. Anxiously taking some kind […]
Motivation for Change: Part 3
No discussion of change would be complete without your vision for change. Your vision for change is what pulls you forward, is what motivates and inspires you to make the changes needed for that vision to become reality. If your vision is lackluster or ho-hum or just not that compelling, what is there to pull […]
