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…

Giving thanks(giving).
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…
Switch.

Alignment.
As I was walking this morning, I was thinking about a similar topic to recent posts: Alignment of your emotions to your mind. AND Aligning yourself with time.
