When at work a few weeks ago, a man had just finished his round of golf and came to the table I was sitting at. I asked him how his day went, in which he replied "Not good - another bad round of golf. Just can't seem to play well lately, but that's how golf…
I am tired. Not super exhausted, but I know I need to regroup and give myself a little time to recharge. There's no shame in that - being tired can come from 5 days of work in a row or it can come from an hour-long activity. Everyone has their own pace. …
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…
"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…
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…
As it seems to happen every year around or after finals week, I am sick. I'm not surprised - although this finals week is less stressful than some in the past, I still find the end of each semester a point to where my body is run down... Out of energy, for sure. Unfortunately,…
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…
