I am a perfectionist and I fight this daily. If I wait for perfection I would never get anything done. None of us would.
I just finished reading the Miracle Mindset by JJ Virgin, wow, powerful stuff! I definitely recommend this inspirational read that will help you to live better and be more present (especially with your kids and isn’t this why we had them!?).
We all have a tribe. You do. You really need your tribe. It keeps you just a little bit more sane than you would be otherwise without one. Otherwise you’d be floating around in nothingness. No one likes that feeling.
I recently read an article in Wellbeing Magazine about the breakdown of our tribes and community and the increase of isolation and loneliness. This is an epidemic although we can also take steps to connect with like-minded people and find our tribes and change the world.
It’s easy to say, I’ll do that later. Later can be a long time away and sometimes it’s never.
What are you waiting for? I know you have things to do, people to help, places to go… Sometimes we need to stop. And you’re allowed.
In my morning yoga class – where I find my creative inspiration – the teacher ended the class with some inspiring words that really resonated with me and I’m already implementing his strategy. S.T.O.P.
Well who doesn’t? If you say no, I don’t believe you.
I have a healthy relationship with money in that I like it and know what good it can do for me and my world and I’ve never been shy to say so.
I can feel an amazing movement in the energy all around me. This feeling of hope and something bigger as we come together in a common ground of connection. This change in both women and men enables me to literally feel the groundswell of humans coming together and wiping the slate clean to start over.
As my children get older I am more aware of building memories. I see them pulling away and wanting to spend more time with their friends in their own endeavors which is natural and normal. But it makes me aware of how precious time is and making the most of each and every day.
I find the topic of unhealthy obsessions with food difficult to swallow (literally) and with all the media showing this even more, food is everywhere.
I love food.
I keep having conversations with friends, family and even acquaintances and there is a common thread – everyone is feeling overwhelmed. This is an epidemic! How can we help this anxiety and worry and stop the self-talk in our heads from making things so much worse than they are? Or even if they are really bad – and we all come face to face with unfathomable challenges – how do we get through the day and feel like we have an element of control back in our life?
I love a good list of rules and there is always something else to learn! Who doesn’t want to be a better person? Or be liked just a little bit more by others?
C’mon, we all do! I heard these rules on a podcast the other day and I just had to share them.
I had a friend recently confide in me that he was struggling quite a bit with overwhelm. He had a second health scare and asked me what more it would take before he would actually see the obvious signs and make a change to his life.
This is where I stepped in and gave him some suggestions that I’ve been using in my life to make improvements because I’ve been thinking about the same things.
I think most kids have a great knack for retaining information, even useless information, at a rapid rate. I was certainly the Memory Game champion of my family and still love to play. As I’ve gotten older I’ve accepted that my memory isn’t what it used to be and I depend on my 10 year old who has become my memory. Now I’m learning that this can change and we can get our memory back.
