Finding Meaning in Midlife

Finding Meaning in Midlife

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle|April 5, 20218 Comments

* Inspired by a certain someone’s recent BDay, whom is now firmly entrenched in the sweet spot of midlife! Midlife may just be the most ambiguous, broadest term to define in modern language.  In my random, very unscientific survey, I’ve discovered the range spans from 30 to 60 years old…or when you succumb to buying that […]

Innergy ~Inner Energy~

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Inspiration|March 29, 2021

Flash back to your first crush, your first real love, where the whole universe revolved around him or her. Every breath, every move, every moment an obsession as every love song on the radio spoke directly to you. The sky was bluer, the air was crisper, the food tasted better as the world was happy […]

The Mind’s Merry Go Round

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle|March 22, 202118 Comments

Nearly 50,000 thoughts barrage your mind daily, inundating you with a flood of feelings and emotions: thinking, musing, fantasizing, planning, anticipating, worrying, liking, disliking, remembering, forgetting, evaluating, reacting, story telling and fabricating reality to conveniently fit your own truth.  You are doing this all day, every day, nonstop mental commentary.  Even more remarkable, 98% of […]

Mind vs Body

Mind vs Body

My internal clock.  Or, perhaps my persistent restlessness tells me daybreak is fast approaching and I must hurry to capture the essence of what I seek before the dawn on this crisp morning. Strange, I ponder as I search for my left Nike, how one’s mind can selfishly ignore its own body to cater to […]

What You Resist, Persists

What You Resist, Persists

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle|March 11, 2021

Surrender is such a powerful tool to help us towards inner peace. It is the simple but profound wisdom of acceptance rather than opposing the flow of life. Surrender is like a fish finding the current and going with it, rather than trying to swim against it. It is to relinquish all that inner resistance […]

Nature Nurtures Us

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Random, Reflections|March 11, 2021

The combination of COVID, winter and technology has created a dangerous trifecta: we never have to or feel the need to leave our house again. We can shut it all down, quarantining, binging on Netflix and YouTube videos. We can work from home, zooming our colleagues and clients. Every restaurant delivers and groceries can be […]

The Crazy Cocktail

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Spiritual|March 1, 2021

Your entire life consists of sensory perceptions, thoughts and emotions. That’s it, that’s your life! This is how you experience life and it essentially makes up your “world”. It becomes you, your identity, and how you view the world and navigate through daily life with all its ups and downs (actually, there is another – and […]

What Dogs Can Teach Us

Posted in: Healthy Lifestyle, Reflections, Spiritual|February 21, 2021

We can learn a lot from our furry four legged friends. Just observe how they stop to smell the roses on a walk, fully in the moment, as their mindless owner has their head buried in their phone, texting or updating their Facebook page. Dogs are fully alert, using all sensory perceptions to smell, see […]

Surrender to the Resistance

Surrender to the Resistance

Posted in: Healthy Lifestyle, Random, Reflections, Spiritual|February 13, 2021

Life is not easy without inner peace. But so many of us have it backwards as we try to change our external world in the hope of creating a peaceful life.  The reality is that when we find peace inside ourselves, the external world matters far less. We tell ourselves: if I can just get […]

The Second Arrow

Reflect on a time when you were in physical pain. Not an acute pain that took two aspirin to get rid of but rather a lingering, chronic type of pain that stubbornly won’t disappear. A good example may be when you threw your back out and it simply won’t heal the way you hoped for. […]
