What picking up small change taught me

What picking up small change taught me

I’ve been relatively proud about finding and picking up loose change off the street. To this day, if I find a penny, 9 times out of 10 I will actually pick it up. Heck, just yesterday, I saw a dime in the dark (like what are the odds?) I like to use the old adage “Find a penny pick it up, and all day you’ll have goodluck. When I find anything more, I’m ecstatic. I used to always tell my friends…

Why I failed at blogging

Why I failed at blogging

I have had this blog for basically a year now. When I started, it was because I quit my last job and thought I could eventually make a modest living off of writing within a few months of blogging. I started off with confidence, which descended into arrogance and delusion, and ending in fear while keeping some of my old limiting beliefs while writing. Overall, I think I approached blogging the…

The letters I regret...

The letters I regret…

This is about some of the letters I used to regret not sending to people who were in my life. Weird? Yes. It was something that I just never did because I was fearful of being ridiculed.

Although I am very much an emotional…

Nakedness Makes You Happier?

Nakedness Makes You Happier?

I was at the gym this morning and one of the TVs (which was on our regional news channel) mentioned a study done by the Journal of Happiness (which I hadn’t heard pf prior) that basically concluded that being naked with others makes you happier. I found that statement to be that relatively simplistic and rather clickbaity. Happiness is a term thrown around willy nilly and it’s easy for news…

Why Self Awareness Isn't Enough for Growth

Why Self Awareness Isn’t Enough for Growth

Self Awareness is basically understanding what you do and why you do it. Although most people don’t care enough to understand why they react to events or situations a certain way, we are told about how through self-awareness we can set ourselves up for success. But being self aware may not be enough… It’s said that self-awareness can lead to changes in habits, behaviours, and life. I agree in…

It's All About ME!

It’s All About ME!

Mindfulness Everyday that is… Oh, did you think I was going to start spewing some egotistical stuff? Well no, at least not today. But for all you self proclaimed egoists or narcissists, the self less, and the (average) selfish, stick around because trust me, it’s not all about me. This is about YOU (I don’t have an acronym for YOU…Maybe You Overcoming Urself? I don’t know… ) This quick blog post…
