Looking at life through a different lens
Reading Time: 7 minutes I don’t know how to start this. Part of me wants to be sing-songy because that’s where my heart sits right now, but I’m unsure. It’s not often that I’m at a loss for words – the joke with my friends, and sometimes with you, is that I’m full of words. I love language. Words […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m saying it again. What is time? I will never not say that because it makes sad that time has gone by so quickly, but excited that I’m also rushing into something else. I guess I like the collision of these feelings. The excitement of new steals our hearts. It’s what makes food and relationships […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes I’m in the dark looking at the stars from my backseat window. I noticed lights from plane flying above a little while ago. I’m looking out the hatch and can see lights from the town miles away. The sky is so clear. Maybe it’s being in the mountains, maybe it just tonight, but I don’t […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes It’s been almost 5 months since I sat down and wrote a blog post. I don’t know where that time went. Like, I do, but I don’t. I know that there are many of you who feel the same way. It’s not just that the pandemic has played a role in your perception of time, […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes 8 letters. 2 words. More than 1 meaning, depending on who you ask. For me: I’m thankful for you and this action/your words/your light or I’m uncomfortable and I don’t know what to say, this just seems like the best alternative to silence. As I am going through this new phase of life, I’m finding […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve thought about how I want to write this post for a few weeks, and the truth is I do and I don’t want to write it. I think we can all agree that change is hard. It’s exciting, but it’s hard. The excitement doesn’t have to negate the hard. Positive and negative ideas are […]
Reading Time: 6 minutes In psychology and in health coaching, there are thought patterns that can be identified that influence our decisions. These thought patterns are called cognitive distortions. In 2020, I presented on them twice, which helped me break down my own thought distortions and challenged me to consider how I talk about what I do as a […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Something I’ve been practicing this year is losing or shifting labels and purpose in my daily life. In relation to nutrition, we talk about ditching labels so food no longer is identified as good or bad, unhealthy or healthy, but just food. Using thought processes of do I like this food or does this food […]
Reading Time: 7 minutes There are many psychological models and theories that are utilized in health coaching. It’s because of the psychology used in health coaching that I know there can be a lot of gray – not just as a coach, but also from the client perspective too. I’m not a therapist and there are limitations to how […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes It’s been about a month since I sat down and wrote here. I feel like I’ve finally got my footing with my new routine, which is what I had shared about last month. Same goals, but changing up the structure. We evolve, why shouldn’t our methods and routine? I’m finding that I’ve been able to […]
