Did you know that it is totally ok to feel all your feelings? Sadness tells people that we are hurting and invites our loved ones closer to tend to us. Fear is there to alert us of the potential dangers that lurk. No need to explain joy, I know you like that one. Although, for […]

The Nervous System
We all have a nervous system. Throughout the day our nervous systems get stressed and anxious and feel down and depleted. Our job is to keep our nervous system’s ups and downs within a zone that we can tolerate. If we don’t we’re gonna freak out or hit a depressive/shut down state. Self awareness is […]
Resourcing and Grounding
Aloha! Just wanted to take a moment on Maui where peace is abundant and share with you a few ways to shift from tension (however little or much you are currently feeling) to peace in really easy and quick ways. Resourcing and grounding throughout the day are excellent ways to feel more resilient and less […]
Becoming a Real-Honest-Friend
I have been thinking a lot about friendship. What it means, what the requirements are and how good of a friend I am. I know that I am a great listener. I can listen for hours. It’s my job, after all. But friends need more than someone to listen to them. They need someone who […]
On Taking Things Personally
I used to take every thing personal. If a girl at school called me ugly then I believed her and thought that I was ugly. If someone told me my skin was pale then I’d make sure to do something about it. I would also take positive things personal. I felt myself get high off […]

What is this thing that happens to me when I do something nice for myself? This immediate pang of guilt. Where on earth does this come from? Why does it happen every time? Either in a feeling of remorse for doing something nice for myself, or a feeling of guilt because I have spent an […]
The Importance of Rest
Working from your rest. What on earth does that mean? It means first rest enough to the point that you actually feel rested in your body, spirit and mind, and then work from that place of rest. It’s backwards to what society tells us. It says just drink a Redbull, get an extra shot of […]
When Loneliness Sets In
A common human feeling is loneliness. It can come upon you like a storm. Rolling in unexpected. There you are sitting at home, no one is calling you, no one is there to talk to. It’s just you and your lap top. The phone is silent, your thoughts start creeping in. No one loves me, […]
Capture Every Thought
I bought a body thermometer over a year ago. It’s this little device I got on Amazon for like twenty bucks. You tape one end to the back of your hand and it reads your outside body temperature. This is different from your inside temp. The outside body temperature is directly related to the amount […]
