Are We There Yet?
Anyone who has ever been on a family road trip has undoubtedly heard the often repeated question: Are we there yet?! It's impatient at best, and passive aggressive to say the least. Because if you're looking out at nothing but highway and scenery, then you ain't there yet. Asking that question only makes the journey … Continue reading Are We There Yet?

You'll never really experience tomorrow, because once you get there, it's today. So, today is the day. Make the most of it. Be in it. And fully live it … Continue reading Today

Our lives are simply made up of a collection of moments. Moments are all we really have. And as we live each moment, there is the realization that we'll never get that same moment back. Cherish the moments of your life as you live them.
Onward
Life will keep progressing onward. There is no pause button. There is no rewinding option. It's helpful to remember this, especially when you're having a rough time. For me I always remember that phrase, this too shall pass. Yes, life will keep pressing onward, moving past whatever moment you're experiencing now. It's also very important … Continue reading Onward

Relax
Taking the time to relax sounds so nice. But in order to relax you need to trust. In order to relax, you need to stop overthinking. In order to relax you need to release control. Being able to relax is allowing yourself to get out of the fast lane for a bit, and go slow. … Continue reading Relax

A Better Now
I used to always dream about a better future. Like, when I was a little kid, I couldn't wait until I was old enough to get my driver's licence. I thought then my life will be a dream. It was going to be so much better because then I could be independent, and drive myself … Continue reading A Better Now

A couple of benefits from having a dedicated meditation practice: When you train your brain to slow down and focus on the present moment during meditation, it carries over into the rest of your day.

Everything you could possibly need to thrive in this moment is available to you right now, in this moment. Nothing more, nothing less. If you didn't have everything you needed for this moment, you would cease to exist in it. It seems to me that until you do cease to exist, the only thing you … Continue reading Moments

My favorite thing about social media is getting to watch cute videos of animals enjoying the heck out of life.

Shook
It's so easy to get wrapped up in the petty inconveniences of life. But then out of nowhere, the earth can shake from underneath, and rattle you out of bed at 4 am, just to remind you that you don't have as much control over your life as you think you do. Major life-altering catastrophes … Continue reading Shook
This Moment
Eckhart Tolle says: Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. If we were to truly heed his words and realize this statement deeply and consistently, then I believe that most of our suffering would cease. Suffering comes from resistance. And what we are resisting most consistently is the present moment. We're … Continue reading This Moment
