I truly believe expectations hinder our ability to be at peace. Expectations cause unhealthy attachments to perfection, people, things, the future, and outcomes we wish we could control; but can't. If you keep up with the blog, you know I had a bumpy June (can read here). As I was re-playing the month in my … Continue reading NO MORE EXPECTATIONS
I'm back! Can't say this week was perfect, but it went well! Valentine's Day was great, I actually ended up going to cycling and absolutely killing a class in the first row (my first time!) Then I went to Nashville for the weekend, which I've been chatting about for a while. The trip was amazing! … Continue reading REBOOT & RESET: WEEK 4
What a week it's been. While there was some great moments, there were also not so great moments. I struggled with being in a funk for two days of the week. I felt overwhelmed and drained (very unexpectedly). Thankfully, it only lasted two days and I was able to consciously choose to forgive and move … Continue reading REBOOT & RESET: WEEK 3
MADE IT! Week 2 is complete. There are endless reasons (excuses) I could've made for putting myself in tricky situations, slipping, or not putting in the work. Then there was one reason that outweighed the others, I am doing Reboot & Refresh for ME. I am choosing to feel good, clearheaded, balanced, and healthy in my … Continue reading REBOOT & RESET: WEEK 2
Goodbye January: Reflecting on the first month of 2018, I realized I've had an extremely productive month with lots of small wins! Happy to say I'm proud of what I've accomplished in the past four weeks, regardless of the unavoidable rough patches: I kicked off my Reboot & Reset, reached out to old friends, spent time with … Continue reading HELLO FEBRUARY: MONTHLY REFLECTIONS & INTENTIONS
Week one complete! Committed fully to my Reboot & Reset plan for the next four weeks & already feeling so much better. I'm much less groggy and bloated. My skin is staring to glow again. Overall I feel great! Let's remember, this isn't about dropping pounds, it's about revitalizing my mind, body, and soul and … Continue reading REBOOT & RESET: WEEK 1
Arn't Sundays just the best? No matter where we are, our religious beliefs, political views, I think we can all agree the best Sundays are spent resting, rejuvenation, preparation, and reflection. It's the day to tell ourselves: “I am enough, I do enough, let me shut down for a few hours and do something to … Continue reading SELF-CARE SUNDAY ROUTINE
There are the typical fears of heights, blood, spiders, etc; but today I'm going to discuss one of my deeper rooted fears. One that I didn't notice immediately and disregarded until I came face-to-face with it a few weeks ago (read about that here). Out of all of the fears I've overcome in the past … Continue reading Love, Unknowingness & Embracing the Fear of Losing Control
There are thousands of thoughts that zoom through our brains daily. Decisions, ideas, rationalizing, emotions, and judgements. This is the first time I was hyper-aware of the judgements to myself and others.
Goodbye September: Well this month flew by and felt like an extra month of summer in the Northeast! It's been HOT. Looking back at my reflections from August, I almost was doing TOO MUCH (like on the weekends, overdoing plans, etc) and this month I was able to take a step back and relax a little more … Continue reading HELLO OCTOBER: MONTHLY REFLECTIONS & INTENTIONS
