As the saying goes, "history repeats itself." Oftentimes, in life, we see similar or the same experiences happen many times over as we maneuver through our days. We learn from these repeated scenarios and can recognize things about them in our lives as they happen. Learning comes from experience. However, sometimes we learn that this…
I feel like all of us have that thing in life that bothers us way more than it should. When I was younger, when I would drop something on the floor (for example, the reoccurring fall was my toothbrush), it would really frustrate me. Whether it was something breakable or not, I would always become…
Life moves fast. Every day, we find moments where we are in a sprint in order to keep up with life. However, we also have moments in a day that we can take a breath - analyze - slow it all down. Those moments are just as important as when we have to keep up.…
If there was one central "theme word" of my life that I had to choose, it would be "Presence". I feel as if it is a recurring theme in a lot of my writing and speaking, too. I am constantly making a concerted effort to live in the moment - to take in and experience…
You would think that what comes next in life would be easy to see. It should be right in front of you, right? Well, it usually doesn't end up being what was thought to be next for us. Other times, we can't even find what's next. We feel stuck - we feel as if we…

With the amount of tasks that each of us have to do every day, it can often appear overwhelming. It's never fun to wake up and immediately feel stressed. However, I often find that breaking it down into "simple" steps helps guide me through a day. Whether the day is incredibly busy or completely tame,…
Sometimes a few words can make all the difference. A few years ago, when I start getting into the blogging/personal writing space and taking time for self-reflection, I realized that I often struggled with understanding my own thoughts. Our thoughts really can race, and when it feels like we only have a few moments to…
I am currently in the latter-half of a book called "Wherever You Go There You Are" which teaches how to maintain presence, meditation, and focus throughout daily life. One of the chapters I read this morning talked about mountains and how we can view our day as we are the mountain - everything moves around…
Every moment of life provides us with different feelings. Whether that be feelings that our 5 physical senses present ourselves with (a smell, a taste, a touch, etc.) or a feeling that our mind sends through our body and makes us think about (happy, content, anxious, etc.) I went through a time in my life…
