A little inspiration as you start your week, hopefully headed into work that makes you feel aligned with purpose, and capable of impact that’s meaningful to you. If not, quotes like this may make you feel a little uncomfortable. That’s ok, though, because that discomfort could be the beginning of something good. Being able to […]

We human beings love control and like to think it’s possible to get our arms completely around the course of our lives. We’re always trying to “get on top of things,” so “by next week (next month, next season…never) things will have calmed down.” But, if there’s one thing that will show you who’s
You know how it is. You have these ideas and dreams and visions for the future you want, and then you also have these hesitations, concerns, and yes, FEAR, about pushing forward into them. What you already know and where you’ve already been are so much more comfortable. So much more safe. So much less likely
In a previous post, I once shared an Emerson quote about bravery that implied that courage isn’t necessarily an exceptional trait, but that the bravest among us are those who simply maintain it “five minutes longer.” On this blog, we talk a lot about making intentional choices, especially in the face of discomfort.

Oh, there are just so many. SO many of them. All the reasons to not do the thing your heart, your intuition, that little whisper of possibility inside you are all telling you do to. It doesn’t make sense, it won’t work, there’s no logical reason to do it. The numbers don’t add up. The

Earlier this week, I shared my personal belief (and experience) that the effects of a regular mindfulness practice will probably show up in your everyday life before you ever reach a point where any of it feels “easy.” You may find that you’re less quickly irritated, that your fuse under frustration takes a little longer

Mindfulness isn’t easy. Focusing your attention on one singular thing, returning your attention to that place when distractions – internal and external – try to pull you away, and maybe even trying to sit still for more than a few seconds…these intentions are the opposite of how we live our everyday lives. We never have
I’m gonna let this one mostly speak for itself today, except for this one point. If the back of your mind just said “There’s no way I could do that” when you saw this, take note. It’s one thing to say negative things about yourself out loud – you do that, too, whether you realize
