Last week I reflected on 2021. The lookback is always challenging because I try my hardest these days to avoid feelings of regret. I don’t want to beat myself up anymore for decisions I made or feelings I had or the consequences of either. If I wasn’t or I’m not pleased with the way something… Continue reading 2022 is….

Ah, memories.
So, this last one is actually my favorite. Admittedly, it might be the romantic in me. The last question for this exercise is -What are the memories I want to remember forever? I’ve already talked about this a little. The way we find light in the gloom. The way that we see things after we… Continue reading Ah, memories.
Proud of ya.
This next question is one of the most difficult for me. I don’t know if it’s the ego issue or what, really. It’s complicated, like most challenging bits of self-reflection. So here it is- What am I proud of myself for? The easiest part is identifying the thing that I’m generally proud of, but the… Continue reading Proud of ya.
Forgiveness? Sure.
What if we defy the suggestion I put forth yesterday and we are utterly impatient? What if we are impatient with ourselves and impatient with others? What if that impatience leads to bad decisions? What if we act impulsively and then, regret that impulsivity? Time to kick the shit out of ourselves, right? Nah. That… Continue reading Forgiveness? Sure.
I’ll take two servings of patience, tx.
Ready for more? I hope so. What experiences, habits and people brought me the most joy? How can I incorporate more of these into my life? These questions are a tall order when looking back. A quick glance back doesn’t bring about visions of hope or joy. I’m not miserable, at all, but also, I… Continue reading I’ll take two servings of patience, tx.
Question #1
I welcomed us all into the new year last week. Kind of me, no? Ha. I know. And the week before I engaged in a sort of reliable and tedious count down to the new year, delving into some widely held misconceptions that harm us. I also engaged in the exploration of some really important… Continue reading Question #1
Spend your energy wisely…
I started this with a diatribe on posts about the new year and ended it with another reminder to be yourself, always. Does that feel old to you? Overdone? It’s not. We talk an awful lot about being ourselves. We talk about finding ourselves and our truth and living an authentic life. We even do… Continue reading Spend your energy wisely…
Excellent.
I know you might have left yesterday feeling a bit perplexed. Was I asking you to change to accommodate someone or something else? Not even a little. I was asking you to start to consider how you can move into new spaces that feel infinitely more agreeable. I want to give you a substantive example… Continue reading Excellent.
Approval is a fickle little b*tch.
We talked about how to respond in a way that shuts down an analysis of your life. What I want to talk about now is how you actually make choices to live in a way that’s not the “norm” without feeling badly about it. I think it’s important to be clear that I am not… Continue reading Approval is a fickle little b*tch.
MYOB.
Were you wondering where I was going with all of this? Maybe not. Either way, I’m obviously going to tell you. That’s what we are here for, generally speaking. I think most of us are uncomfortable breaking free from what is considered to be the norm. Even when we don’t fully understand the norm, or… Continue reading MYOB.
