Friendship
Recently, I have been able to spend the weekend with 2 of my four core friends, and I was feeling so blessed for those connections of over 30 years. And these are not the typical “we lost touch for 12 years, and now we are back” stories you hear from people.
We have been a consistent part of each other’s lives for 30 years, and I love and value them so much that it sparked me to talk about friendships.
The Reset Movement
The heart of TRM lies in aligning six key areas of our lives: Mood, Health, Schedule, Relationships, Sleep, and Productivity. Picture a life where everything is in balance, where you feel energized, fulfilled, and in control.
Even more incredible is that TRM isn't just a course – it's a supportive community of people facing similar challenges. We all know that having someone to share our journey with and hold us accountable can make all the difference. Peer support is a cornerstone of TRM, and together, we'll motivate each other to make positive, lasting changes.
Escapism
I was thinking about Escapism and how prevalent it is to immerse ourselves outside our reality. Is it healthy? Should we be concerned about Escapism?
Watching ten consecutive hours of the same show would seem unusual a few years ago, but now it is just a random Saturday. I have some thoughts about what that amount of content does to the brain, but we will save that for another time. Right now, I want us to consider what we are escaping from and why.
Goodbye 2022!
If you are like me, you have recently said, "I cannot believe it is December already?" at least once this week. Christmas is upon us, and then New Year will quickly follow. The days are passing faster and faster, and before you know it, we will be celebrating another milestone that should have taken longer than it did to arrive.
7 Things to STOP Doing to Improve Your Work-Life Balance
Creating a balance between our work life and our home life is not easy. It is more of a flow than a balance between the two. Many things must happen for us to create a flow and a balance that is healthy.
To understand how much work goes into having a healthy work-life flow, we must first highlight the things we must stop doing.
Self-Care is no longer an option….it is mandatory!
If you live on earth like me, you have noticed that many negative things happen everywhere we look. Everything from inequity in education to the opioid crisis to COVID to mass shootings… things can seem as though they are all bad.
Optimizing Your Time
There are 168 hours a week and 24 hours a day; this will not change; time is finite. It is essential that we make the most of that time while still having healthy priorities. Here are a few tips to help you recognize what things in our lives need immediate attention, what things are a priority, and what things are not essential to our wellness.
Time Out!
A Time-Out is nothing more than some space to be still. Be still and reflect on how you can bring more balance and calm to your life. When we are stressed and tired, it can be difficult to figure out where the imbalance lies and what to do about it.
Too Busy
“I am so busy,” “I just have so much to do,” “I don’t have enough time”; how many times have we all said that? It happens to me more often than I would like. In one week, there are 168 hours, and it often feels as though they pass within the blink of an eye. Where does the time go, and why can’t I seem complete the things I need to do?
Disconnect
Has this ever happened to any of you? You are more than halfway to wherever you are going. Traffic is heavy, and you hope to make it to your destination on time. Then it happens!! You realize…. GASP… you have forgotten your phone at home! For many of us, no matter the circumstances, we will turn around to retrieve the phone. Why is that?
Work Life Balance
The line between work and life is blurred for many people, and it often happens without us noticing. We notice overall fatigue in our bodies, cognitive deficits including memory and concentration problems, lower frustration tolerance, and mood-related issues.
