My Journey to ending my 10 year battle

I don’t want to wake up in 20 years and wish I had done something when I was “younger”. Nor do I want to wake up in 20 years and still be struggling with food, body image, anxiety, confidence, comparison, shame, guilt, etc. I want to begin working on my journey to ending my 10 year battle, with all of these things. When I first posted on this blog and admitted to the internet world that I had an eating disorder, at that time I thought I was all “better”. That was only 3 months ago! But now, as I …

Consistency in times of Inconsistency

Consistency is the achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time. Consistency is also the way in which a substance holds together. Like when I only put half the flour in my chocolate chip cookies, the consistency is pretty sticky. Here is my remix of Rachel Hollis‘ Consistency talk during her Rise X Live virtual conference. You can check out my other posts, like this one, for other info from this conference. Intensity is not as important If you are working towards a goal, working on your habits or routines, or finding your …

How to Cultivate Confidence

Confidence is the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something. It is also defined as a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities. What is confidence? The paragraph above holds dictionary definitions of confidence. Really, confidence is your state of mind about yourself. How you feel about yourself when you are by yourself. Sure, you can also have confidence in other things besides yourself; people, or events. I have confidence in Google Maps. Confidence in my dogs barking at every noise outside. I am confident that Jose will make the …

Navigating Emotions During Difficult Times

The COVID-19 pandemic is difficult for all of us. Some are impacted more than others. But something we probably all have in common is difficulty navigating our emotions. Ed Mylett, a life and business strategist, gave a 20 minute talk on “How to Navigate Times of Crisis” during the Rise X Live event this past weekend. While this talk, and this conference, were created around COVID-19, we can apply these ideas towards navigating “normal” everyday life and feelings. So how do we navigate our emotions during difficult times? Remember, everything happens for you, not to you. Now, more than ever …

What I learned about Mindset from The Rise X Live

My Experience with Rise X Live Yesterday I sat in my living room from 6:50 am until 4:15 pm with my pups watching Rachel Hollis‘ Rise X Live event. I have actually always been a little skeptical about personal development conferences but I am so glad I signed up for this event! The event was created in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main topic was about Courage, along with 4 subtopics, including mindset, which is our topic for today’s post: Courage MindsetConfidenceConsistencyLeadership I want to provide you with my takeaways, favorite quotes, and self discoveries from each topic, starting …

Movement Snacks

You guys, I know I am always talking about exercise, but I can’t help it! It is so good for us. What if exercise could come in the form of a snack? Are movement snacks a real thing? Every week, I meet people who do not exercise nor have much of any physical activity in their lives. Typically, they have so many ailments and cannot move their bodies well enough for simple activities of daily living, let alone for their recreational activities. Now, this group of people are not just experiencing physical limitations such as pain, limited range of motion, …
