Want To Be More Resilient? Become A Tree

Photo by Bessi available on Pixabay I want to be a tree, but not just any tree. I want to be a deep-rooted, strong, tall standing tree. Sounds a little odd, doesn’t it? Aspiring to be a tree. Who does that? OK, so maybe I don’t want to be an actual tree in the truest sense, just more like a tree in the metaphorical sense. I think about the old willow tree that was in the backyard of my childhood home. It was huge with its long willowy branches that I used to tie together and swing from. Or it's thicker branches that I used to climb and nestle in, shaded and secure. That tree withstood many ..read more

How Resistance Shut Me Up & What I'm Doing About It

It feels like forever since I have written a blog post. In total transparency, it has been a few months since I have done any creative writing of any kind. And it's not because I don't like to write, I do. I love to write. It's just every time I have tried to come up with something to share with all of you, a feeling of resistance washes over me. It starts in my belly and then rises up in my throat, where it stops. Cutting off my words, drowning out my thoughts with its ever so slight choke-hold. (I know that sounds so dramatic.) So, rather than fight the resistance, I don't write. Instead ..read more

Happiness Is A Switch In Your Head...

Growing up my dad used to always say, “Happiness is a switch in your head that you don’t have to reach for via your anal sphincter.” Can I just tell you how much I hated that saying? I’d cringe every time he’d say it.  I got what he was trying to say; it was my choice whether I wanted to be happy or not. Message received and message questioned.  As a mindset coach, I’ve come to understand we’ve got an amazing power to choose.  We choose what we say. We choose what we do or don’t do. We choose what we think.  We even choose the narrative we tell and believe, which ultima ..read more

I Lived In A Cage And It Sucked

I recently bought Glennon Doyle’s book “Untamed” and I’m so glad I did. I'm resonating with her stories. She’s like my sister from another mister, who like me lived in a cage of expectations to be someone she wasn’t in order to fit in with everyone else. While I’m not finished with the book, what I’ve read made me ask myself this question; am I living my truth and being the most uncaged version of me? My answer...   Not completely and not in all the ways I can.    For example, I still have my moments when I don’t share my feelings to avoid rocking the boat. And ..read more

What You Should Know About Your Mindset

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, “Damn, I look great today! I’m digging my outfit and my hair is on-point.”? And then a week later, you put on the same outfit, you do your hair in the same way, with one exception... You look in the mirror and you don’t see the same thing you saw a week prior. Instead, you see dark circles under your eyes, what looks like a new worry line taking occupancy on your forehead. And instead of thinking, “Damn, I look great today!” you think, “Damn, I look haggard and horrible. What’s with this outfit?! What was I thinking putting this thi ..read more

Right? Wrong?

"You were given a right foot and a left foot, not a right foot and a wrong foot." - Buckminster Fuller I fricking love that quote!  Perspective, at the end of the day, is subjective and that's what this quote reminds me of. Our perspective, our truth, and what we consider personally right and wrong. Oh, and before I continue I think it's important to share that I'm not talking about the absolute wrongs in this world. Wrongs like racism, racial profiling, discrimination, hate speech and hate crimes, cruelty, abuse...those are definite wrongs.  What I'm talking about is the diffe ..read more

"Celebrate good times, come on!"

I'm so sorry for the ear worm. I really am and if you can get past it, I've got a question for you... How often do you celebrate? If that feels like a strange question, it kind of is, actually. But there's a method to my madness in asking it.  As a mindset coach and a person who totally geeks out on all things mindset-related, I've come to realize how helpful celebrating is when it comes to quieting that inner critic and creating a more positive mindset. And sadly, I don't think we take much time to celebrate. Yours truly included. And here's why... WE ARE MUCH BETTER AT CALL ..read more

Expectations are a bitch!

Have you ever expected someone to take your feelings into consideration, only to be hurt when they didn't? During a time when you were struggling have you ever expected someone near and dear to check-in? Then when they didn't you felt hurt and resentful? Have you ever expected someone to be there for you in the same way you've been there for them? Then when they didn't show up as you would have, you found yourself royally ticked off? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you're definitely not alone. Me too, to all of the above...many times over, actually. A TURNING POINT OK, so you ..read more
