  • 795 || the cup's already broken

    What if we practice radical acceptance through a healthy detachment to OUTCOMES so we could stay present and grateful for the present moment without dreading the "what if's" and "when will's"

  • 794 || visible mending

    So next time your favorite metaphorical sweater rips on ya, maybe not all is lost + we can embrace the imperfections and our time we spent in it.


    “There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” ~ Leonard Cohen

  • 793 || pity party vs. vent sesh

    misery flourishes in company - but so does joy. 


    Pity parties are meant to be short-lived. Eventually, you’ll need to start recognizing your victimhood in conjunction with your confidence. Don’t get me wrong, you don’t have to constantly be productive to heal, but you do need to make space for positive action if you want to get out of the rut that pity parties can often lead us into. It may help to remember that one of the best solutions for wallowing in self pity is with action. If resolution of the direct problem isn’t possible, or the situation is nuanced and it’s a more general malaise and sadness you’re dealing with - focus on realigning with the things that make you feel more in control and empowered on a more personal and minimal scale. You don’t have to change your life to improve your sense of self + confidence.

  • shake that thing

    Turns out, there's evidence that physical shaking can release tension and stored trauma. TRE is a formal strategy but there are plenty of ways to improve our relaxation through intentional release methods.

  • be a Greta Thunberg

    What gets me the most fired up about Greta's work is how ANGRY she makes these corporations, because she's winning. Greta Thunberg is an inspirational reminder we all are capable of major change + we can take action now, where we are, with what we have. Mobilize, take action, and don't be afraid of criticism from the bad guys.

  • thrashing

    To prevent thrashing in both humans and computers, it is important to prioritize tasks, manage resources effectively, and reduce unnecessary overhead. By focusing on the most important tasks, breaking down large tasks into smaller, more manageable ones, and reducing distractions, both humans and computers can stay productive and efficient.
