I kept trying to figure out a word to describe my mood the last few days. I haven't been sad, or angry, or confused, or down. It took me a while to figure out that I have been distracted. I have been out of focus. Whether that distraction is self-caused or something around me…
It's easy to get in your own head. We all do it from time to time. For some, it happens more often than others. For myself, I can say that is definitely the case. Other people's actions don't typically bother me too much, just because I know that everyone is different than I am.…
I spent part of my weekend sitting in silence - just thinking. I thought about a lot, as I usually do, but the one thought on my mind that I couldn't get rid of was that "I should be doing something". I wasn't bored. I just felt unfulfilled. I felt like I should've had…
Sometimes life can feel like a whirlwind. 80 things going on at once, and 79 of them are stressful or things to worry about. We always have something going on, so it is hard to find those moments of relaxation. When I do get that time of relaxation, I find myself concerned. (I'm already…
As I go about my day, I try my best to have a positive attitude. I want to portray a smile and a head held high to others in hopes that it will help improve their day. Does it always work? No, but you never know who might need it. Even when we are…
Every day, I find myself reminding myself to do many things. Just this morning, in 2 hours, I recognize all of these reminders I gave myself: Enjoy your golf today. Don't let your head get in the way and don't get angry if something doesn't go your way. Give yourself enough time to blog, journal,…
I would consider myself to be a very open person. I like to discuss the things going on in my life and letting others listen to what's going on in my head and getting feedback. I didn't use to be this way. It took me a while to even talk to one person about…
I keep feeling as if my feelings change. I feel like a mixed-signal, and not much is more annoying than a mixed-signal. I don't want to give myself inconsistent feelings and I don't want other people to struggle to understand me either. I have talked recently about wanting consistency and how good that feels…
I was recently asked the question of "do you think people are truly doing their best?" I sat and pondered the question for a moment and my immediate reaction was "no". Reflecting on that further, I still think "no", but I think it's complicated. I think many people consider "doing your best" to mean…
As hard as it may be to look back on mistakes you may have made in your past, you should never look back with regret. Each time I look back with a regretful vision, I find that I lose the thankfulness I have for the road I've traveled. The road I've traveled is anything but…
