At the beginning of this year, I read the book The Mountain is You by Brianna Wiest. I am often hesitant towards self help and healing books because they always seem to miss the mark for me. I lean into the belief that they tend to feed you bullshit and offer band-aids for deeper problems. I’ll admit, this is a…
I had a great day yesterday, it was productive, it was satisfying, and I felt content. But today, felt the exact opposite. I was laying down all day, I barely ate, and I had my face in front of a screen for hours on end. It is so hard to not feel defeated about this, to not compare this day…
It was a beautiful day today. Based on it’s own merit, it was a beautiful day. Besides the obvious weather comments (even though the sun was shining and the breeze was warm), I did things for myself in a manner that made me feel satisfied and content. A lot of these things happened to be small, such as reaching out…
BY: Stephanie Morzewski It isn’t all just being practical and it isn’t all just fantasy, it’s somewhere in the middle where I feel like I am floating on a cloud while still being able to see the ground. Week 3 of relationship You see, I don’t want to float and just see the ground, I want to be on the…
I have recently adapted the retirement mindset. I see how my parents live in their retirement, doing things they enjoy, living carefree, and being willing to take adventures as they come. Why can’t we live with this mindset even in our 20’s? I know we have jobs, bills to pay, and planning for our future. But all of this aside,…
Lately, life has been very chaotic. I keep getting thrown change after change, challenge after challenge. I’ve been busy to no end, I have little consistency, and I find myself swimming around in the unavoidable chaos. So, how do you process this? Find small ways to keep a routine. Routines are extremely helpful to have consistency and predictability, allowing for…
Today, I experienced a plethora of emotions and feelings. I felt tired, excited, impatient, upset, overwhelmed, homesick, content, pleased, happy, grateful, this list could go on. I have fear that feeling all of these feelings all in one day is unmanageable. I have felt pushed to my limits today in so many ways. But at the end of the day,…
Give yourself permission to not be exactly who you thought you’d be when you were younger and fantasizing about growing up. You don’t have to be that person, you don’t have to look like you thought you would or talk like that, you can dress differently than you thought you would, you don’t have to have kids or get married…
I sometimes feel pushed by other people to be flexible with my boundaries. It is most often from people who don’t know me very well. Part of this comes with people reflecting their own beliefs around boundaries on other people or people being rigid in their belief systems about how people should act or behave. But without a doubt, I…
I have a lot of restless, anxious energy today. It’s not uncommon for me to feel this way, but usually I’m not stuck in an airplane for over an hour with no way to get that energy out. And so when I feel like my anxious energy is trapped, it tends to lead to anxious thoughts. How do I deal…
