Did you know experiencing high levels of stress increases your risk of death by 43 percent? When I  learned that, it stressed me out even more because I experience stress almost daily . From work to family and friends and everything in between, life can get pretty...

This post is for all those who suffer from nice girl syndrome. You know, the belief that we must be overly nice and accommodating to be loved and accepted. It’s the fear of confrontation or voicing our opinions in an attempt to not stir the pot or cause confrontation....

The world is so busy. It seems like everyone is rushing and/or frustrated. Rushing to get to work, rushing to Friday, rushing to this and that. This leads to stress and essentially rushing through life. We learn to be comfortable with not being present in the current...

Has anyone ever told you that you are a pushover, too nice, too agreeable or that you don’t have any original thoughts or ideas? Or do you know that you tend to have these tendencies? Do more times than not you ignore that gut feeling, knot in your stomach feeling and...

Sooo this was about hmmm like 5 years ago and I find myself lying in bed, head spinning. I’m trying to fall asleep but no matter how hard my body pushes towards sleep, my mind will not allow me to just rest. I’m exhausted, completely drained from the 2 jobs I’ve been...

Why do we take life so seriously? Why do we believe that we must have everything figured out? I know I’m not the only one. This is what was the start of my quarter-life crisis, the realization that I was in my mid-twenties and hadn’t had it all figured out. Don’t get...

So, I’ve been trying this new app called Moment, it tracks my screen time so that I can better manage my phone time and become aware of how much time I am actually spending on my phone. Well, well, well I knew that I spent a lot of time on my phone (hence why I got...

So I’m stewing. For all those who may not know what this means, it means that I am upset and instead of confronting the issue or the person head on, I am ruminating. Just to give you an example of how bad that is. I went to sleep angry and woke up and thought to...

So today I want to talk about boundaries (how ironic that I write this while I’m at work , on lunch of course). This has been a struggle for me my whole life and until now I had no idea what boundaries were and I still struggle with the fact that when I set boundaries...
