In the span of a 10-minute video, I went from being able to hold my breath for only 20 seconds to being able to hold it a full minute. It’s why I’m now completely obsessed with the idea of breathwork meditation.
Lately, I’ve been thinking more about the need to practice gratitude every day. It’s so easy to fall in a cycle of complaining, worrying, and feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes, you do need to sit with those feelings and acknowledge it. But sometimes, you also need to be ready to pick yourself up and move forward.
March was a great month of reading for me and included what will probably be my favorite book of the year– Atomic Habits by James Clear.
This is a stressful and scary time. I know a lot of people have had their routines shaken up, with no clear end date in sight. So, I wanted to share a few of the ways that I’m keeping myself calm and getting through these surreal times. Obviously, do whatever works for you.
With all of the uncertainty and change surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, I’ve been making an effort to seek out more positive podcasts. Most have been good, but there’s one I really wanted to share.
I hit a big personal milestone this past weekend. To me, it’s so surreal. I was never a runner and still struggle to identify myself as a ‘runner.’ But a little over five years ago, I made a New Year’s Resolution to start running and it actually worked.
This month wasn’t as productive as last month in terms of reading, but I still managed to get in 3 books. (Well, technically, two and a half.)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my career, my passions, and my long-term goals and sometimes it feels like I’m all over the place. I’m somehow interested in everything and nothing. It made me remember one of my favorite TED Talks ever.
With temperatures heating up in Florida, I beginning to feel the itch to do a deep spring cleaning of my house. I’m talking everything— the closets, the junk drawer, the pantry, that weird cabinet by the front door I never open (and who knows what’s in it?!). So, to make sure I don’t give up after one closet, I’ve compiled a list of inspiration to keep myself going.
Let me just start off this post by saying, I’ve never really been that big into Valentine’s Day. I enjoy a pack of candy hearts, but I’m not really into gift giving for this holiday. My love language definitely tends to lean more toward quality time so that’s where I put my focus.
