[season 2 ep 2] if you're feeling overwhelmed in thought and emotion right now, you're not alone. today I am sharing the 2 ways I've been rewiring my mind to create emotional resilience and increasing quality of life. if you don't know how to help yourself right now, I think this is a good starting point because they can be applied at any time.

let's discuss our ability to challenge negative thoughts, disidentifying with emotion, and creating greater awareness of our mind's patterns.

[season 2 ep 1] come for a chat with gentle reminders. today we are talking about getting back into our creative work without so much pressure on ourselves, following nature's flow and the abundant lessons to be gained from observing nature.

yes, maybe this was recorded as winter was beginning but it still applies okay !

(remember, the only thing that matters is this moment here right now. you're doing a great job. take a deep breath and just be right here. you are exactly where you need to be. if we can have peace in the present then we have everything we need.)

[ep 13] am I too resistant to the natural discomforts of life? is that resistance making my life harder than it needs to be? we all know that mindset is everything…but this is a complicated issue when you take depression and other human pains into consideration because we feel we experience discomfort enough. can we make room in our lives to accept that life is inherently uncomfortable? I think this necessary acceptance can allow us to face the inevitable obstacles and mundaneness of life.

modern day life has offered us reprieve from the challenges our ancestors faced and has elevated the human experience…but where there is more pleasure, there is more pain
