How’d the week go for you? Was it a quick one, or is it hard for you to believe it’s only been a week since it was a week ago? More of the latter for me, personally, but as we talked about on Wednesday, time seems to move differently depending on what’s going on from […]
“No-Fail” Friday: Just a minute Read More »
It is perhaps the only quantifiable commodity on earth that cannot be contained. It is omnipresent but infinitely precious. We are hyper-conscious of it, but value most the moments when we completely forget about it. It moves perpetually and is measured in even increments, although it certainly doesn’t always feel consistent. It flies when we’re
As you get yourself started on this first morning of the workweek, keep in mind that the challenges ahead are shaped as much by how you see them as by whatever they may be made of. The light is always there, and you don’t have to wait until Friday to feel it. Photo credit:

Leave it to Brené to start us of with a full-size dose of truth this Monday morning. Courage is such an appealing quality, and we all want to embody it, but it comes at a cost. By definition, courage implies that we have to get uncomfortable, and be willing to tread into territory that is

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. One thing many of us
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)
