Calm isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. If your life isn't predominately calm, then it's out of alignment. Chaos is not a badge of superiority, it's dysfunction. Realign your priorities, end the chaos, and get back to calm.

Push or Pause
Our society is so fast-paced, that it feels like pushing through it is the smarter way to stay ahead of the game. But then you're not even participating in the game of life.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in the petty inconveniences of life.

(my "tr" sounded like an "F"... it was laugh riot at gatherings) Eventually, with enough practice, I went from wobbling to walking to running. With enough practice I … Continue reading Practice

Then just … Continue reading A circle of things
Focus
Whenever I've gone into mental free fall, and I can sense the next stop will be full-on panic, I've learned to anchor into focusing on my breath. And, once I've stopped the cognitive plummet with a slow inhale, pause, and slow exhale, I've learned to then effectively climb back up out of the pit by … Continue reading Focus
