I find it fascinating how easy it is for the mind to wander... Wander into areas of no thought, random thought, and every thought. I feel my mind wander back and forth between these mindsets. It's hard to hold a point of focus sometimes when the central thought bubble is always changing. What I…
As I work harder on keeping my mind focused on the present and truly experiencing life, I am realizing that the gift of life is multi-faceted. Often times, I think that life just brings learning and struggle, when in reality the times that I truly experience life bring me feelings of joy, connection, etc. I've…
I feel that I have expressed this before, but my stance on boredom has somewhat changed. I still don't like boredom, but it provides different opportunities than I previously imagined it. Over Thanksgiving break, I found many pockets of boredom. My schedule wasn't very full and I had completed tasks that I needed to complete.…
Thanksgiving is always one of my favorite days of the year (top 5, no doubt). Every time I can be with family, eat food, and watch football means that it is a good time. As we went around the table and talked about what we are thankful for, I (unsurprisingly) got emotional. I always…
As I maneuvered through this weekend, I found myself being influenced by many people and many things around me. Not peer pressure, more like suggested options from other sources as to what to think, feel and do. I let other options brood in my mind, not really acting on them. When I think about…
It's amazing how 24 hours ago I was flying through 1,000,000 thoughts and this morning I'm bopping to some music and loving life. I'd say my mood changed 5 times yesterday. My mind is just a constant switch, that sometimes I don't have control of. But, at the same time, I feel like I do…
Sometimes I experience feelings that I can't explain. I sit and think about whatever I'm thinking about and I realize that I am feeling an emotion. Whether it be sadness, happiness, joy, anger, confusion... all of the emotions I'm sure I've felt and we've all felt. But sometimes I don't know why I feel a…
As it is easy for myself to look ahead at what's to come, I can't help but be eager to start things that I know are coming in my near future. I know what I'm going to do when the time comes, so I am ready to get after it! Unfortunately, that's not how…
Unfortunately, I'm starting the week off sick. Coughing, stuffed up and feeling a bit weak. Overall, just not a good time! However, I am reminded of my work ethic and that I can easily make my way through this. (I kinda have to because I have a busier school week). Nonetheless, I want to…
This post will be short, but I just want to say thank you to all of the people in my life. It doesn't always take a birthday to remind me of this, but today is a great reminder of the support I get from all of those around me. As I look back, it's…
