As this is a time where the world has slowed down a bit, I am sure we are all reflecting a bit. This morning, I am reflecting on my reminders. I made a post when the year 2020 started about my 2020 "reminders". I don't like to make resolutions - I just set…
Today is the close of a chapter, but hardly the end of a story. In the midst of the current coronavirus epidemic worldwide, we are seeing the cancellations/suspension of play across many sports, suspension of education at all levels, and really any event/gathering with a crowd is being called off. It is a fair move…
2 days ago, I was doing a bit of planning. Nothing out of the ordinary, just outlining the next few weeks as I look at my calendar and such. I caught myself doing something that I do often: I made an excuse as to why I could wait to do something. Not necessarily procrastination…
The other night, I found myself looking at life from a limited view. Life has its cycles and many times, those cycles feel like a circle. Going in circles in life is frustrating. In emotional reality, going in circles in life is just going through the motions without addressing and feeling the emotions. Circling…
As our day tends to flow, there are many obstacles we face. The world will always throw something at you that you aren't ready for. It comes in all shapes and sizes, but each day has obstacles. I've learned, over time, that each obstacle that shows up is just another part of life. I…
Today is my first day at my internship. Naturally, I have some butterflies. Those butterflies aren't rooted in fear - just the uncomfortable feeling of doing something new. When new opportunities come into our lives, we have to realize we don't know much at that moment about what we are doing. We have to be…
Yesterday, I started to plan for my final semester of college (I can't believe it started today!). I've always loved planning things out and maintaining organization. It always seems to bring me a sense of peace, a sense of control, and de-stresses my life. However, a thought crossed my mind as I was…
"Patience is a virtue." As I've discussed before, I have been in a period where I've had to wait for things to come. I knew they were coming (and they were good things), but I couldn't do anything about them because it wasn't time yet. Now that the time has come for these things…
As I continue to reflect on my goals/reminders for myself in 2020 and look at my current to-do list, things can become stressful. I don't handle stress the best, but I start to handle it better when I take a step back... So that's what I did today. The step back I took today…
2020 has arrived! I am super excited about the upcoming year, as I have a lot going on that I can't want to be a part of. When I was thinking about my personal, health, and work goals for 2020, I started to write them as resolutions... things I wanted to "change" or "add"…
