Stop Worrying
My mind used to slip into relentless loops of repetitive thoughts—about my workload, family worries, and all the other “bla bla bla” of life. But with practice, I’ve learned that I actually have the ability to decide where my thoughts go and what I think about throughout the day. It didn’t happen overnight, though. It […]
This is The Year… AGAIN!
When I was a kid, I would start every school year with the best of intentions. I’d tell myself, This is the year I’ll be organized and disciplined. I’d buy all the right tools—fresh notebooks, post-its, label-makers—and convince myself that the new me would follow. But what I wasn’t doing was building the habit of […]
Uncomfortable But Worth It
I was thinking about how to get things done. Just like everyone else, there are some things that come easy to me. We all have certain talents or aptitudes that feel natural as soon as we try them. There are also tasks and activities that become easier over time. Anything we do repeatedly becomes familiar […]
Living with Myself
Why am I constantly talking about and seeking ways to help myself and be a better person? Because I live with me all day, every day. When I’m not taking care of myself, it feels like I’m carrying a sick toddler—someone who is screaming, crying, and miserably in pain. It weighs on my day, making […]
Create Yourself
I talk to myself all day. Sometimes, I have full-blown conversations, asking myself questions and answering them. This is common. We talk to ourselves, sing to ourselves, and even yell at ourselves sometimes. Recently, I realized that I invented a “me” that helps me be more productive—the “me” I want to be. When I don’t […]
Defending Your Life
I’ve caught myself arguing against myself in the court of my mind. It’s like I’m a lawyer, and my job is to convict myself of being lazy. I always had a couple dozen arguments ready to go. I could pull up that time I gave up on my exercise routine or the fact that I […]
I Want My Mommy: How to Adult
Life can be really challenging sometimes… a lot of times. I’ve started to think of myself as the person I’m assigned to take care of. Parenting myself seemed like a sad idea at first. Shouldn’t I have parents for that? Is it pathetic to need to self-soothe? That’s when I need the good self-talk to […]
Broaden Your Imagination: How to Pursue Your Goals
Sometimes, I think up big ideas—pursuing a singing career, starting a podcast, launching a business. All of these ideas seemed impossible until they weren’t. What makes our goals possible is us. It might sound woo-woo to say you can be what you want to be, but even though we all have limitations and real human […]
Destroy Your Distractions: Master Your Focus and Achieve Your Goals
Have you ever gotten lost in a YouTube scroll hole, emerging hours later with glazed eyes and zero memory of how you ended up watching so many videos? Yeah, me too. My attention can feel like a runaway train, constantly getting hijacked by distractions and leaving me feeling scattered and unproductive. It got me thinking: […]
Beyond Comfort: Finding True Satisfaction
In our modern world, we are constantly bombarded with messages that promise comfort and convenience. From ads promoting the latest gadgets to the allure of quick-fix solutions, it’s easy to get caught in a cycle of seeking immediate gratification.
