If you've been around here for any length of time, you know how much I absolutely love journaling! I believe in its power and in its healing as well as the perspective and awareness that comes from this practice. In this episode, I am sharing five benefits of putting journaling into your routine and then to top it all off... I am giving you my best tips on how to get started if you've never journaled before or maybe fallen a bit rusty in the practice.

Some important references from this episode:

'Tis the season for hustle and bustle, busy holiday calendars and lots on our plates...

But what about rest?

It's hard to really enjoy life when you're going through the motions and running on fumes. And the key to being out best and enjoying life is ... rest.  So let's breathe some life back into your days. Let's grab ahold of purposeful rest that refuels and recharges you. Something that makes you feel alive again. Brings peace to your spirit and tranquility to your mind. 

In this episode, we're talking about giving ourselves permission to rest and the truths surrounding rest. Just how can you be intentional about making rest a habit? We're diving into just that in this episode (and the next... so stay tuned).

Ever heard of that ol' saying.... "count it all joy?" Well, it's actually a scripture verse that can leave us feeling so irritated when someone reminds us to do that very thing on a day where we aren't feeling very "joyful."

"To be happy, one must enjoy the scenery even when circumstances take us on an alternate course." - Louise Workman

This week on the podcast we're talking about Joy - especially how to make time for joy. Did you know you could schedule in joy?

"Our joy doesn't run dry because of what we have on the calendar. Our joy runs dry because we don't make time to nurture it with things that matter most." - Christie Browning

"You didn't come this far to only come this far!" Whenever a roadblock or obstacle hits us, our first inclination is to stop working on the plan and give up. However, when we take a moment and give ourselves credit for what fears we have faced, and the positive that WILL come in our future, our mental strength will push us forward to completion. This week I am sharing a guest interview I was asked to be part of for a podcast that shares personal stories to inspire others. My friend Amy and I get into talking about how to push past adversity to then leverage it for your greatness moving ahead. This podcast is a platform for a wonderful nonprofit based in Fort Wayne, Indiana called Paul's Place. This nonprofit seeks to provide the comfort and support of being at home while being away from home. Its main focus is for the caregivers and at times, adult patients that reside outside of Allen County but are receiving treatment at any of the Fort Wayne hospitals. Whether the adult patient is receiving treatment for cancer or any other life-threatening illnesses or medical conditions or has suffered a traumatic accident. Paul’s Place: Support for Families will provide a temporary, fully furnished apartment home away from home. Learn more about Paul's Place at https://www.paulsplace.org/

If you're living and breathing... you're busy. We are all busy. Maybe we're busy doing different things, but the bottom line is... we fill our 24 hours to the brim and then some. In this episode, I'm going to challenge your mindset on time. When we are faced with an overloaded calendar and to-do list, we don't necessarily need better management of time, we need a better mindset for the time we have, how we perceive it and what we choose to do with it.

If you've ever sat around a campfire, you know there's a science to keeping that fire going. It takes the right amount of firewood and airflow to keep those flames roaring. However, get too much firewood shoved into that firepit and you'll lose the airflow, thus choking out your fire. The same happens in our lives. We let distractions, life's circumstances, a lengthy to-do list, and mundane days choke the life out of our fire. In 2021, we all are teetering more towards burnout than passion, but it doesn't have to be that way.

You can change the sliding scale to move closer to a passion-filled life and farther away from burnout. In this episode we're talking about how to do just that - recovering from burnout, restoking the fire and keeping it lit.
