Meant to Be

Meant to Be

Sometimes we’re meant to slow down and take it easy—because somewhere along the way, we start moving like robots. That was me. For most of October, I was knocked down by a fever, stuck in bed, and literally coughing out all the inflammation my body had been trying to warn me about. If only C-3PO or R2-D2 could’ve handled the laundry and dishes for me.

The Power of Decision Days

The Power of Decision Days

How many days do you go through like this? And not just if you’re a manager at a job or an entrepreneur—do you have a set day where you just decide, delegate, move on, and get it done? Or does it depend on what you’re actually doing? Because today has just been one of those days, and that’s all it’s been.

One person not 1%

One person not 1%

You know, sometimes you’ve got to realize that saying no is a way to be there for yourself. Because if your energy isn’t perfect every single day, are we always mentally ready to give advice to somebody else?

I am busy but I’m not busy

I am busy but I’m not busy

Busy means tasks are completed, projects are finished on time or will be on time and priorities are met so we don’t procrastinate or, admit the impediments to why procrastination is happening, fix them and move on.

Listening to My Body

Listening to My Body

Right now, I’m focusing on my digestive system—working to alleviate IBS symptoms and help my body function more efficiently. I’ve dealt with gluten sensitivity for over 10 years. While it’s improved recently, inflammation is still something I manage daily. As many of us have learned through the health content we consume, chronic inflammation often sits at the root of a variety of health issues.

The Push and Pull: Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies

The Push and Pull: Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies

I believe that regardless of how we identify in terms of gender, we all possess both a masculine and a feminine side. There are days when we feel utterly drained and overwhelmed, and then there are days when we feel the complete opposite—energized and capable.

Life Got Busy And So Did Technology

Life Got Busy And So Did Technology

It’s funny. Over 6 months ago, I said that the next blog post about AI would be coming soon, and here I am 6 months later, with no blog updated. Why? Well, this is how busy life can get, whether it’s personal commitments, ongoing projects, or simply the desire to unplug more. It’s a constant struggle to find a balance between screen time and disconnecting. Sometimes, I feel like I’m over technology at this point and that I’ve seen enough.
