This morning, I noticed my mind moving fast before my body felt fully awake. Instead of trying to stop I go within asking why. I’m becoming aware of when my nervous system is activated and choosing to slow it down rather than letting it run the show. When I notice that feeling kicking in, I pause. I ground myself in what’s actually happening in the moment. I slow my breathing. I tap through it (EFT). I move my body. This isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about interru

This morning I woke up feeling irritated, negative, and heavy. The kind of feeling where you immediately notice what you didn’t do instead of what you did. I had been sick yesterday, so I rested. I didn’t want to clean. I didn’t do the dishes. And when I woke up today, my mind told me I was behind, failing, and overwhelmed before the day even started. As I sat with it, journaling and reflecting, something shifted. I realized I’m actually not that behind. I rested because I ne

Today started like most days do… awake, aware, and quietly questioning the same thing I’ve been questioning for a while now: Why does money still feel hard? I could feel that the issue wasn’t strategy or effort. It was my beliefs. Somewhere in me lived the idea that I’m poor, that I don’t know how to make large amounts of money on my own, and that survival has always required support from outside myself.

This morning I’m sitting relaxed, a touch bored I asked ChatGPT to tell me something interesting. Just a fun fact to pass the time, that I would be interested in. And today, it told me this: Apparently, our brains are most open to change during periods of transition … not when life is stable, but when something feels a little unsteady. A move. A relationship shift. A career pivot. A change in routine. A quiet internal “something doesn’t fit anymore” moment. It turns out that

There’s a feeling that comes up for a lot of people around Christmas sometimes it’s guilt, and sometimes it’s real panic. I know that panic well. I’ve spent much of my life in scarcity and survival mode. For years, Christmas meant stress and uncertainty, and more often than not, gifts only happened because someone helped me. That kind of experience and pain doesn’t disappear just because circumstances change. This year is different. Not perfect, not unlimited but different. I

Whenever my mind starts spiraling or my body feels tight, tapping is the quickest way for me to bring myself back down. It’s simple, it’s grounding, and it just helps me feel like… okay, I can keep going. You don’t have to be an expert. You don’t have to “do it right.” Tapping basically sends your nervous system a calm little message like, “Hey, you’re safe. You can chill.” And honestly, for someone with anxiety I need that. Your breath gets deeper, your shoulders drop, and y
