Stop Wasting Your Time in Your Own Head

“Rather than waste your time being stressed over making the right decision, make the decision right.” -Dr. Ellen Langer In this episode we'll challenge the "inner critic" by learning new ways to invite her in, and communicate with her. Start by being aware of the voice and practicing ways to prevent the "inner critic" from driving the bus of our lives. You are not your "inner critic" xoxo

In this episode, we'll explore the possibility of stepping outside of how you "see" the world. Freedom comes with allowing yourself to open the aperture and reframe how you wish to connect with yourself- about yourself. We often get caught up with the way things are. Here is an invitation to decide what perspectives you wish to keep and which ones are ready for a change.

In this episode we’ll explore the capabilities of vision boarding in creating the life you want. This episode is part of a gathering I hosted which was part of the : Makin Moves Workshop Series

This episode is part of a journal night I hosted - Journaling Reimagined ( why we need to rethink why we journal …or why we don’t ). The focus of this episode is to invite reflection for clarity- to get you closer to the life you want to live.

Beginning this episode with a huge thank you to all who contributed towards the @mondaysatracine fundraiser. I am incredibly grateful to be able to support this amazing organization. The money collected from the last journal night was donated directly to @mondaysatracine raising close to $450.00! In this episode, you will get an inside peak of the last journal night: Why We Write- Tapping In ( Ocean Prompt ). The theme behind the night was journaling reimagined, changing the narrative around journaling. Rather than complaining on the page, we can use journaling as a practice to expand possibilities and invite them into our lives. Journaling for creativity, expansion, and growth. So grab your journal and a pen and get ready to dive in :)

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. -Anatole France In this episode, we explore the "gray" areas of our lives. We spend so much time trying to catapult our way out of the no longer, into the change. And we can’t wait to get to the new next. But we spend so much of our time in the space between ‘ no longer and not yet’.  It made me begin to think - how long is this space? Is this the space before the next new or is this the space we really live in? The present. The life we are in. How do we live in the current but yet move consciously forward? I think many of us are anxiously looking for what's next without even knowing what next looks like. Perhaps it's the societal natural next step, college, career, retirement etc. But I think there can be so much more in the space between. We may not even know what we can offer in this space because we are too busy waiting for the ‘next’. 

Lets begin this year with deep reflection and love.

"Don't you see how much you have to offer? And yet you still settle for less."- Marcus Aurelius In this episode, we look at what keeps us feeling stuck. Often this comes from the doubt that things can't change. We either feel stuck in our circumstances or within ourselves. Good news- you don't have to sit by and settle. We are our most powerful vehicle for change. Neuroplasticity allows us to change bad habits and create new ones. It's not too late. Have a listen and just begin.

In this episode, we explore how our thoughts can beat us to the punch. Our bodies react to our thoughts and sometimes those thoughts- are habitual and primed for the stressful season we expect to be in. Although we may not be in a stressful situation at the moment we feel angst -we respond like we are. Our thoughts are too busy concerning themselves with the future to-do's or have-done's. Let's take some time to check in before we swirl into the Holidrama.

"Failure is a loaded word."- Ed Catmull, Pixar co-founder In this episode, we explore the importance of fostering creativity and allowing yourself to"fail" . More importantly, allow yourself to dream. We should be curious, we should experiment, and when we do "fail"- consider it information. Reframe "I tried and failed" to "I'm learning and growing". Being afraid to fail is where dreams go to die.
