This video is a couple of minutes longer than what I normally post here, but TRUST me it'll be worth it. Whether you're sitting or standing a lot, your hips can become really tight. Take a quick break and bring some relief to this part of your body.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle I love this quote by the philosopher Aristotle. While his example of habit is towards excellence, this would apply to anything we do with consistency. This goes for healthy and unhealthy habits, mindsets, emotions, thoughts, and basically everything else. If you practice habits that are healthy for you, you’ll be healthy in turn. If you’re consistently doing things that don’t serve you w

“The paths are many, the truth is one.” I believe that we’re all trying to ultimately get to the same place: happiness. It’s why we work, it’s why we toil, it’s why we learn, it’s why we seek fulfilling and supportive relationships. But we all don’t take the same path. For one reason or another, our path toward happiness can look different than even our closest friend’s. And sometimes… quite often in our culture, we lose the plot entirely. We get caught up in the rat race of

Have you ever just sat there and looked at the blank page, not knowing what to write or draw? This hesitance is sometimes called “creative block.” Like creative block, we can also freeze or be blocked when it comes to creating our lives.

We so often decide to stick with the “devil we know” versus drawing something new in our lives. Y

There’s a light in everyone, and not just metaphorically. Even physics says that we emit energy and light into the world (think infrared light). Back on the metaphorical plane, each of us brings something unique to the world - our own individual light. We think, see, and feel differently than the people around us, shaping our talents, interests, and actions. But how do we decide when and how to bring our light forward? Are we even aware of it? This can sometimes be confusing.

Where do you go when you don’t know where to go? How do you follow your own internal compass when your “true north” isn’t clear? Often when we feel existentially lost, we have to go inward and sort through our goals, desires, and feelings of fulfillment (or lack thereof) to discover what it is we truly want in life. To find direction. “True North” can be tricky because we have different parts of us that want different things. When I felt lost and hopeless, my counselor helped
