I talk all the time about how it is "easy" to know that something is happening but not necessarily "easy" to do something about it. Lately, I've realized that sometimes it's not that easy to acknowledge something. Specifically, it's not always easy to acknowledge that a problem is occurring. I was reflecting a few…
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…
As you know, last week (a week ago today) I made a post about how I was sick and pushing through that. Well, the last 6 days were pretty rough! (Hence my week-long absence from posting.) I had bad flu-like symptoms on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Thursday and Friday my voice was completely gone and…
I've found that I need to talk things through when I have something on my mind... Which seems to be all the time. From ideas, goals, doubts, anxieties, questions, observations - my mind always seems to have something I want to talk about. For a long time, I would always tell myself "It's interesting…
Hello everyone! Before I get into the meat and potatoes, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Eve today and a Merry Christmas tomorrow. For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, I wish you a Happy Holidays. I hope that the holiday season is enjoyable as you spend time with family and friends.…
Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
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…
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.…
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…
