There isn’t a day that goes by when you aren’t constantly making decisions. Little ones, big ones, easy ones, tough ones – but decisions nonetheless. Our conversation earlier this week was more about the big ones, and how heavily they can weigh on you as you grapple with the input of your head and the […]

Each and every one of us makes decisions all day long. I will get up now, I’ll go with the Frosted Flakes, I’ll take the highway instead of the side roads, I don’t need an umbrella, I’ll cross the street as soon as this car passes by. In some cases, you may not even realize
You’ve heard the saying that there are two sides to every coin, which of course, is true about way more than just coins. Depending on what’s up in your life lately, this quote may make you feel relieved, slightly panicked, or neither. They way something looks to you is entirely about your perspective, and the

This week, we uncovered the (not-so) secret truth that mindfulness is sneaky. Not sneaky in the sense that it’s dishonest or pretending to be something it’s not, but more so in how it has the tendency to come around when you least expect it. For example, you find you’re more focused than usual during a

News flash: mindfulness meditation isn’t easy. Shocking to those who’ve tried it, I know (note sarcasm between lines here). But, yes, it turns out trying to focus your attention in a specific direction for an extended (even two minutes feels “extended” on some days) period of time is pretty challenging.

If you’re like me and live in a place where the clocks “sprang forward” this past weekend and you lost an hour, this morning requires a little extra motivation. There’s less light outside (although there will be more this evening!), and whatever time your alarm goes off feels like an hour earlier than it (now)

In this week’s earlier post, we got out the shovel and did some digging. We went deep, y’all, and got into some big questions about what makes us tick, and why it can be so hard to just follow that beat and be ourselves. Authenticity is so magnetic in other people (even if the expression

We all know at least one of these people. They are the ones who say exactly what they’re thinking. They don’t hide their emotions, seem to share every opinion, and are unapologetically who they are every moment of every day. As you think about a person like this in your life, you may find yourself
You know that saying that you don’t know what you don’t know? It’s true…and it’s also true that you don’t see what you don’t see. Whether your attention is focused on your thoughts or, as is often the case these days, the small screen in your hand, it’s probably not as engaged as it could

This weekend’s “no-fail” mindfulness challenge makes me smile, which is exactly the point. Earlier this week, we contemplated what it means to make a sacrifice, as many around the world prepared to welcome in the season of Lent and the requisite question of “what are you giving up this year?” Even if Lent doesn’t register
