Want to Make the New Year Your BEST Year?
Have you ever wished you had someone who would listen? Someone who would be, not on your side, but on your team? Someone who, without judgment, would faithfully be there to help you sort through all the thoughts, feelings, and circumstances you are carrying into yet another year? Someone who could BELIEVE in YOU, even [...]
It’s okay to keep resting
Is anyone else confused about what day it is? Is the pressure of the New Year starting to creep up on you? Do you wish you had gotten more done or that you were in a different place altogether? Did you know that it's okay to keep resting? Sometimes beginning from a place of being [...]
On the 10th Day of Christmas!
Notice that I said "overeat" because there's nothing wrong with having a treat now and then. After all, that's the definition of a treat. It's not an everyday staple. We don’t overeat and binge on sugar or snacks because we have a sugar or salt addiction, we often do it because we haven’t learned to PROCESS [...]
On the 9th Day of Christmas!
Did you know that you are NOT your emotions? Whenever we hear ourselves saying things like "I am sad," "I'm so frustrated," or "I'm so anxious," it's the perfect cue from our brains to PAUSE and think about what we are really saying. And ask ourselves, "Is that true?" And then we can change those [...]

On the 6th Day of Christmas!
On the 6th Day of Christmas... Where is YOUR focus? Relationships can feel strained around the holidays. Stop focusing on what’s WRONG and start focusing on what’s RIGHT!

On the 5th Day of Christmas!
On the 5th Day of Christmas... Make some time for FUN (whatever that means to you!) I’ve personally never thought of myself as a very “fun” person. In fact, those peeps that seem to exude ENERGY make me a little nervous But I’ve come to accept that “fun” is relative. It doesn’t mean I have [...]
On the 4th Day of Christmas!
On the 4th Day of Christmas... Get outside! Even if it’s freezing! It’s incredible how just simply getting outdoors, breathing in the crisp cool air, and going for a quick walk can help to RESET your brain. And breathing deeply can give you a boost to finish your day STRONG! It’s all about caring for [...]
