I said it last year, but I want to elaborate – I like writing in the last moments of the year because I feel like I’m giving myself space to reflect and think about those events that impacted me most. Not forcing myself to relive everything that happened, but find those points that caused the… Continue reading Being uncomfortable is necessary for growth

What I’ve learned from writing poetry so far this year
The past few weeks I’ve been doing a bit more reflecting on my writing this year. More specifically, poetry – what it does for me right now, how and where it started last fall and how I want it to continue to evolve. It’s kind of weird for me to see its evolution this past… Continue reading What I’ve learned from writing poetry so far this year
Acceptance can create neutrality
Something I’ve been practicing this year is losing or shifting labels and purpose in my daily life. In relation to nutrition, we talk about ditching labels so food no longer is identified as good or bad, unhealthy or healthy, but just food. Using thought processes of do I like this food or does this food… Continue reading Acceptance can create neutrality
Growth will look different for us all
It's been about a month since I sat down and wrote here. I feel like I've finally got my footing with my new routine, which is what I had shared about last month. Same goals, but changing up the structure. We evolve, why shouldn't our methods and routine? I'm finding that I've been able to… Continue reading Growth will look different for us all
Old Goals, New Routine
Last week felt peaceful. I want to say it was a good week, but I feel like good is too neutral of a word. For a while neutral was actually the goal - stress had been high and just being would've been nice. I was thinking about what made last week peaceful, what made it… Continue reading Old Goals, New Routine
Taking a break from health coaching: Part 2 “Anticipation and Empathy”
For the past seven days, I have been on vacation from coaching and training my 1:1 clients. For the the past three days, I have been on vacation from my other full-time health coaching job. I realized some things about me, and that post will be next, but first - what I realized about others.… Continue reading Taking a break from health coaching: Part 2 “Anticipation and Empathy”
Taking a Break from Health Coaching: Part 1 Going on “Vacation”
I have no problem planning a rest day when I create my own workout programming, but I'm terrible about taking a vacation day and completely detaching and essentially taking a rest day from normal life. I imagine there are many out there like me. We should get t-shirts and form a club. There have been… Continue reading Taking a Break from Health Coaching: Part 1 Going on “Vacation”
T-O
Perspective. Just like opinions, we all have one. There may be overlaps in our perspectives, but they’re all different. It doesn't matter how well you describe what you see or feel, no one else will be able to fully get in your shoes and feel and see in the exact some way. There have been… Continue reading T-O
You can react or you can respond
It’s actually really weird sitting down and writing here. I’ve been holding a pen a lot more lately. Sometimes that would lead to the computer screen, but mostly it would stay in my notebook. This though - I’m writing this from my phone. I don’t do that often because I really do enjoy sitting down… Continue reading You can react or you can respond
Keep building doorways, and rooms, and houses
I like writing on the last day of the year. I like writing every day and while I haven't blogged in almost a month, I've done more writing this month than I ever have. Like I've said before, start right now. Don't wait for something whole. I know that a new day, new week, new… Continue reading Keep building doorways, and rooms, and houses
