Surrendering to Our Feelings

I have been absent from blogging for the past week because I have been busy writing blog posts from other people. Which is exciting as I am getting paid to do something I just realized I loved doing. But it is also taking away my energy from my own blog. I decided I needed a break from writing for other people because I am super excited to tell you guys about what I have discovered this past week! Obviously it has to do with Surrendering to Our Feelings. If you search on Google, Surrendering seems to associate with negativity: “cease …

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 …

Can Happiness Be Learned?

Can happiness be learned? Is it something you are born with? How can you be more happy? I am currently taking “The Science of Well-Being” course through Yale. This is a 10 week course. And by week 3 I felt like I was going to burst at the seams with all of the information I was learning. So I decided to dedicate the next few blog posts to sharing what I am learning with you guys. I have been so fascinated with what I have learned so far and I cannot wait to share. Maybe by the end of the …

Appreciating Beauty and Excellence

According to the most recent strength finders test, one of my greatest strengths is appreciating beauty and excellence. And I really do agree with this; I recognize, emotionally experience, and appreciate the beauty around me and the skill of others. Maybe this is why I cry during sporting events? I am no top, elite athlete, but I put my whole heart and soul into running. I imagine that is similar to the feeling that these professional athletes have during their training and competitive seasons. Whatever it is, you will most definitely find me crying after an intense Seahawk game, the …

The House Pilates Guest Post

The other day, I woke up at 3:30 am and could not fall back asleep. Because, just like all of you, my mind was being pulled in 1,000 different directions. But of on my thoughts was actually one that made me excited. So I hopped out of bed and emailed a bunch of ladies in my life to see if they wanted to do a Guest Post on my blog. I am wanting to highlight females I know. To share what they do, what they can offer us, see what we can offer them, and how they are being impacted …

What Does Success Mean To You?

I typically call my mom every time I am in the car, unless I am engaged in an “unputdownable” podcast. Can you believe, unputdownable, is a word?? Today, we had an impromptu conversation on success and “What does success mean to you?”. This was the perfect topic to discuss next on the blog. Last post, we discussed vulnerability and my experience with it this past weekend. All of the responses I have received to my post are all soo kind and loving. But still, every now and then I go into a dark hole and feel so embarrassed for admitting …

Independent But Asking For Help

I like to think of myself as an independent female. When something needs to be done around the house, I find myself doing it before my husband can notice. I take pride in all of the years I was single and moved to a new state. Asking for help is something I struggle with. I need to learn to be independent but still ask for help when needed. During the worse times of my eating disorder, asking for help was not even a thought. To my mind, I was doing the right thing for my body. I was in control …

Happy Friday

Friday is my most favorite day of the week. And we are spending it at one of my favorite places, the beach in Southern California. On a quick trip to California this weekend to visit my husbands family. Not going to lie, this always makes me anxious. But this weekend I am practicing letting that go. How do you desire to feel? Choose the thought that will make you feel that. Instead of being quiet and reserved I will be myself Instead of comparing myself to others I will love who I am and what I look like Instead of …
