I spent much of last week struggling mentally and wondering why I felt so anxious and emotional and while I was able to narrow it down to a handful of things that could be causing my dis-ease (I mean, duh), when I dug deeper beyond circumstances, I realized that I was stuck in a loop …
What I’m Wearing… * Cropped rust sweatshirt – I have this in so many colors now it’s not even funny! It’s the perfect cropped length for high waists and it’s under $25 * Levi’s Ribcage Rainbow Jeans – I bought these last fall to wear and never did! This is my first time wearing them …
A few nights ago while I was flipping through one of my TV apps, an old black and white movie called The Shop Around the Corner made way back in 1940 popped up and I scrolled past it without thinking. Moments later it occurred to me that The Shop Around the Corner was the name …
OneOfAKind.life Mindfulness and self-care and even meditation have become trendy buzzwords in the last few years… but sometimes it takes a trend to creep into our minds and make a little home there so we think about it and start taking action. Taking time for yourself is important. And it’s about more than just scheduling …
Speaking from experience, I can say that it’s far easier to be positive and see the beauty in life and everyday circumstances when everything is okay – or whatever that means for you, because everyone’s version of okay is completely different. It’s much more difficult to find that positivity and stay at a higher vibration …
I was introduced to The Colorful Wild through longtime blogging friend, Holly (@hollyconda on Instagram), who shared a photo of her two adorable kids with “girlprenuer” Avery, who started her very own organic lip balm brand and is totally crushing it. Since I was immediately motivated by this little entrepreneur, I thought you might be …
I was out sitting on my patio deck the other night, watching the snow fall for a minute, inevitably writing yet another list, as I do at least 3-5 times every day… but really what I was doing was procrastinating. I knew what I had to get done and I knew what I wanted to …
So often when we embark on a new project in life, which could be anything really in regards to having an idea, thinking it through, deciding to take action, making a plan for it and then going in a forward motion, we feel not only a sense of control but also a sense of accomplishment …
Just a handful of pretty and inspiring quotes today to kickstart your day and week. They may be super cheesy, but hey, sometimes cheesy works! Hopefully one or more will motivate you (and ME!) to get creative and make this Monday the start of something new or the end of something old. Either way, it’s …
I began writing a #MondayMotivation post but couldn’t get motivated. Even I need inspiration now and again and though I did watch a few thrilling TedX talks to help motivate, everything I wrote just sounded contrived and even forced. I’m so inconsistent lately, and I hate it. Overwhelmed by the scale of some things, underwhelmed …
Finally! A new 21 day meditation experience from Deepak called Energize Your Life: Secrets for a Youthful Spirit and it starts TODAY (October 29th, 2018) and I’m excited. It doesn’t seem that Oprah is collaborating any longer, which is fine, but I did like her quick little 2cents at the beginning of the previous 21 …
It’s true that we can all probably watch TedTalks and motivational videos and read personal growth and self-help books until we have that A-HA moment and IN that moment, feel as if we’re changed forever… WE GET LIFE and we’re thriving. Then a few days later, we’ve forgotten all that we have learned and are …
I didn’t get a chance to blog all last week, and it drove me insane. Every day I thought about all the things I wasn’t accomplishing instead of seeing exactly what I was, and that’s never a positive place to be, mindfully speaking. If I’m going to be able to make both careers work, I …
Do you ever find yourself waking up and immediately going into some mental drama with someone or something that isn’t even there? It could be a boss, a lover, a friend, a job, an event or situation and you go over it again and again in your head or argue with a person mentally who’s …
I stumbled upon this Ted Talk How to Be Happy Every Day: It Will Change the World by Jacqueline Way the other day and was completely inspired by it. Jacqueline Way is the founder of www.356give.ca, a charitable organization dedicated to educating, empowering, and inspiring children to change the world “one give, one day at …
