If you can count on anything in life, that is change. Just like the seasons change and we grow and evolve, everything else around us changes. We have this comfort in the known and when we feel the threat of change, we freak out. But since change is going to happen anyway, why not embrace it? Instead of seeing it as an inconvenience, what if we looked at it like an opportunity? Here are some

When we don’t keep ourselves busy and feed our mind positive things, we can fall into the trap of getting in our own head. Whether it’s our own thoughts or all of scary headlines about coronavirus we are bombarded by daily.  What does that mean? It means we tend to overthink things, self-examine and worry beyond what healthy reflection is. We can get caught in the vicious cycle of rumination and stay stuck there. Let’s

Coined by Shakespeare, this quote rings true in so many situations. For today, I am going to focus on expectations in relationships.

And

If nothing changes, then nothing changes. It’s like taking the same action and expecting a different result than what you get – each and every time. Change is hard, but what is harder is staying exactly where you are, in a place you have outgrown, just to feel safe. It might feel good at first, but you stay stagnant, bereft of freedom to live life on your own terms. When you think about it, life

Just like there can’t be good without the bad, if there was no rain, there would be no flowers. What makes life beautiful is the journey that we walk during our limited time on this earth.  Without struggle and hardship, we wouldn’t develop into the resourceful, capable people that we are.
