Is the news cycle janking up your nervous system right now? Because same. But we can't we be the change we want to see if we have nothing left in the tank. Here's a breathing exercise to try. If you take a moment to ground yourself, you'll be clearer about what you need to do next. Resist.
Just tell me when it’s over. Who else doesn’t enjoy April Fool’s day?

We’re not meant to be cooped up inside all day with fluorescent lights burning a hole in our retinas. Exercise is a sensory need.

Please stop judging yourself so harshly! If you’ve noticed your focus wander even once, you’ve meditated! Go easy on yourself.

Hello, fellow neurospicies! Just a reminder that there’s nothing in the meditation rule book that says you can’t use a fidget while you meditate. Go ahead and make that accommodation for yourself. 🧠 🌶️

"Don't turn your river to concrete." That’s what I told myself this morning as my toddler flailed like a possessed octopus and screamed bloody murder into my ear while I dropped my eldest off at camp.

Since I have painting AND writing skills, I think I’ve secured my place in the post-apocalyptic hellscape. I can offer cave paintings and fireside stories of the “before times.” I will join whichever faction is best at hunting.

If we don’t know each other yet, hey! I’m a freelance writer, artist, aspiring meditation teacher, and mental health advocate. I live in Vancouver Canada with my husband, senior cat, and two sons. I’m creating a mindfulness program for NDs. I only drink decaf because I’m naturally caffeinated. ☕️

Have you ever tried talking to your anxiety? Yes, you heard me: talking to your anxiety. Before you write me off as just another person promoting “work-life balance,” hear me out.

When you look at this picture, what do you think I was feeling? On the surface, I look happy. I was on a whirlwind Contiki tour of Spain, France, and Italy, and most people would be thrilled about that. I SO desperately wanted to be happy about that. But I couldn't be. My body wouldn't let me.
