A Book A Day Keeps the Nightmares Away

Happy Monday! I am excited for this week’s resolution: read a book a month. I went to the library this weekend to pick out the perfect book for this month. I actually picked out a book that will help me get ready for Week 4’s Resolution: meditation/spirituality/religion. Like I mentioned in a previous post, (ScreenContinueContinue reading “A Book A Day Keeps the Nightmares Away”

A Book/Month

Next week starts my next resolution: read a book a month. My aim for this resolution is to challenge myself to turn off the TV, get off my phone, and read a book from start to finish. We hear numerous stories about how increased time on social media is correlated to rates of anxiety, depressionContinueContinue reading “A Book/Month”

Journal and Beyond

Well, the first week of my Growth Project is coming to a close. This month’s theme is challenges of “The Mind”, which is why I chose to do a 1 sentence journal. I wanted the challenge of sticking to a daily habit. The journal provided me with that accomplishment (so far) but it also taughtContinueContinue reading “Journal and Beyond”

Wishing Away Happiness

The summer is filling up fast. Trips and birthday parties, cook-outs and get togethers, there are lots of things to look forward to. I am a planner. I like to be organized and prepared. So when I look at my calendar filed with lots of fun activities, I also see packing lists, grocery lists, andContinueContinue reading “Wishing Away Happiness”

“Re”living My Best Life

It’s not weird, lots of people take pictures of their food, but she wasn’t about to post it to Instagram with a fancy filter, she just put her phoneContinueContinue reading ““Re”living My Best Life”

Journal Everyday

I have a bad memory. I am also bad at doing something every day. This resolution will hopefully combat those issues. My reasons for wanting to journal every day is to help me remember more, hopefully knowing that I have to journal that night will help remind myself to slow down, take notice, and beContinueContinue reading “Journal Everyday”

New Growth Project

I know myself: If I makeContinueContinue reading “New Growth Project”

The New Plan

Up until this point, my posts have been inspired by my daily experiences, my interactions with family, friends, clients, as well as my inner thoughts. I have enjoyed writing them but feel I need to add more direction. Photo by rawpixel.com on Pexels.com I recently finished The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. For one wholeContinueContinue reading “The New Plan”

Acting As If

Last week I wrote about being a yoga teacher that hasn’t practiced since last June ( Which you can read here: Yoga Every Day?). Since then, I have rolled out my mat every day, even if it’s just to do a short practice. There is something about writing it down, putting the mental picture inContinueContinue reading “Acting As If”
