How Can We Shift Our Body Image?

How Can We Shift Our Body Image?
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how I felt when I saw photos of myself in a bikini. I was feeling disconnected from my body and I really was focusing on how much I didn't like the way I looked in my suit. And on the other hand, I am keenly aware that loving my body exactly where it is right now is so important - especially while raising a daughter.

What Would You Say To Your 16-year old Self?

A few weekends ago I burned my journals from high school and University. When I started reading them again, I realized that I would never want my daughter or my mother to read them. What if I were gone tomorrow? Would I want these words to be a part of my legacy? 

I felt so much pain in the words. These weren't gratitude journals. They were full of heartache, loneliness and sexual exploration.

We all struggle with body image. Here's my journey.

I have a lot of respect for ladies who are happily in love with their bodies, unconditionally. Right now, this is something that I'm working on. I love the body positive movement and I think that it's super important for us to celebrate all bodies. Yet, I am on a journey of my own and currently, I'm not in love with my outside body shape.

We live in a time where women are showing their authentic selves on social media. Mel Robbins had a super popular post recently about how she feels about her own body. The thing is? I'm not comfortable about how my body looks right now. And yet, I'm still happy.

Is Failure An Option?

Is Failure An Option?
Failure has three different definitions according to Google:
  1. lack of success
  2. omission of expected or required action
  3. the action or state of not functioning
At this moment, I feel like there is a lack of success in two new business ventures I launched since March.

How Does Our Mindset Lead to Making Every Day Great?

How Does Our Mindset Lead to Making Every Day Great?
For me, the reason I choose to ask myself difficult questions is that I want to grow. I want to keep moving forward in my life and in my business. To paraphrase Jim Rohn, if you're not growing, you're dying. Nothing in life ever stays still. And it's up to us to decide which direction we are going.

Is it Possible That We Are All Artists?

Is it Possible That We Are All Artists?
The beach my territory. I never wanted to be a part of the 5 am club, yet I now set an alarm to wake up at 4 am to get to the beach for sunrise. Risking deer on the road. Alone at the beach. Wild animals surrounding me. Breathing in clear sea air and taking photos of the rising sun. This is where I would be even as the last person on earth. This is where my creativity is found. 

Do You Feel Like You're Wasting Time?

Do You Feel Like You're Wasting Time?
Our days are outlined by the sun rising and setting. During the summer, the days can be more than 16 hours long, depending on where you live. It can be tempting to make the most of every hour and not waste a moment. How do we strike a balance between being productive and enjoying life? Do you feel like you're wasting time when you're not working?

How Does Gratitude Change Our Attitude?

How Does Gratitude Change Our Attitude?
How does practicing daily gratitude change our attitude? This is something I have been experimenting with in my own life for over a decade. You may think that because I choose to write about gratitude often that it's easy for me to maintain a positive attitude. The truth is, it's not always sunshine and roses. 

Creating More Time in Our Lives

Creating More Time in Our Lives
Time is such a special gift. Yet many of us go through life acting as though we have an endless supply. Every day I wake up and say thank you for the gift of another day. Tomorrow is not promised. Trust me, when you've survived a life threatening illness as I have, those words ring true.
