To your life, to your decisions, to your attitudes. Wake up. Do you think that you have endless time to be miserable? To putz around doing nothing at all? Do you think that you have time let goal after goal slip away? Do you think you can get away with putting no effort into your… Continue reading Wake Up

Toxic Relationships
They exist. We know it. But we might not always realize we are in one. It could be our boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, or it could be our siblings, parents, friends. That's where we get into trouble. We very rarely consider toxic relationships between our friends or family because they're supposed to be our support network. Where we learn… Continue reading Toxic Relationships
Slowing Down
If you've been following along with my little yoga challenge on my channel then you'll be familiar with the topic: going slowly. At the beginning of November, I thought about doing something physically tougher than usual but also something that we could learn from. I settled on a slow flow challenge. What's mentally harder than… Continue reading Slowing Down
Poetry and Depression
If I had a nickel for every time I heard, "You write so dark!" followed by uncomfortable lectures I would really be rich.
Burning Out or Backing Off
Hello, hello! Happy Monday. With the start of the work week comes, well, all the work. Exercising, meal planning, work, extra work, hobbies, lunches, commitments, kid's games, and so on will fill the week. The games have begun! But what happens when you start getting tired? Unable to function and cranky all the time? Are you going… Continue reading Burning Out or Backing Off
Why Do I Fight?

I'm talking bigger than that. Why do I fight the world? Press against the foggy window of stigma and… Continue reading Why Do I Fight?
Getting Sick
Today's article brought to you by a particularly sick and extremely annoyed writer. I'm sick. Stuffy nose, sore throat, fatigue, fever, the whole shebang. I feel pretty lousy. And I feel like I'm making negative progress on everything I'm doing. I had plans for the week, for the day. Soon enough I felt completely unaccomplished even… Continue reading Getting Sick
Soak Up The Sun
I don't think I need to tell anyone to do this twice but...go soak up the sun! Enjoy it. Put on some black clothes, lather up in sunscreen if it's actually warm, put on some glasses and soak it up. But nothing on this blog is that simple so let's examine. Let's say it's summertime. 90… Continue reading Soak Up The Sun
Space and Kindness
Welcome back! Or should you be saying that to me? Let's talk. How long can a hiatus from something go on for before it becomes neglectful? How many months, years, or decades can one spend away from something before it's considered abandonment? Sounds like pretty complicated stuff BUT (luckily for us), the answer is in the intention.… Continue reading Space and Kindness
The Equilibrium
In everything, there is an equilibrium. For each force, there exists a counterforce. Remember this as we read on. I'm a runner, amongst other things. This means that (you guessed it) I run. Running is hard both physically and mentally. Your body protests what you're doing and your mind screams against every step you take. It's… Continue reading The Equilibrium
