We don’t usually notice when we leave the present. It happens silently.You’re making coffee — but you’re in next week’s to-do list.You’re walking the dog — but you’re replaying yesterday’s conversation.You’re doing the dishes — but your mind is already in a future version of yourself who is finally “on track.” And slowly, without meaning … Ler mais
You keep telling yourself it’s not the right time.Not today.Not yet.Not until you feel more ready, more confident, more certain. So you wait. You wait for clarity.You wait for the fear to fade.You wait for the universe to send a sign — something loud and obvious that says: Now. Go. It’s time. But the longer … Ler mais
There are days when everything feels far away.Even the things you care about.Even the parts of your life you once felt proud of. You stare at your goals and feel… nothing.You try to make a plan but can’t remember why it mattered.You get frustrated with your own lack of energy — and then even more … Ler mais
Not every moment of life is exciting.Most of it isn’t. Between the highlights we post and the milestones we wait for, there’s laundry.There’s traffic.There’s emails, dishes, forms, appointments.There are mornings that feel the same as the ones before them, and nights that slip by without ceremony. And sometimes, those moments feel like interruptions — spaces … Ler mais
We’ve been taught that doing nothing is wasteful.That if you’re not producing, improving, or moving forward, you’re falling behind.So we fill every moment.Answer one more email.Scroll one more feed.Multitask even through rest — podcasts while walking, news while eating, to-do lists while breathing. Stillness starts to feel like failure.And silence? Unbearable. But here’s the truth … Ler mais
There’s a version of you that no one sees.The one who wakes up already overwhelmed.Who moves through the day checking boxes, putting out fires, responding, reacting — but rarely choosing. You’re doing what needs to be done.And in many ways, that’s admirable.It’s brave.It’s resourceful.It’s proof of your resilience. But it’s also exhausting.And over time, it … Ler mais
There was a time in my life when I measured my worth by how much I could get done in a day. I wasn’t just productive — I was obsessed with it.Every hour was planned.Every moment had to be optimized.Rest made me anxious.Doing nothing felt like failure. On the outside, it looked impressive.People admired how … Ler mais
And What to Do About It For a long time, “being organized” was seen as synonymous with being rigid.Spreadsheets.Color-coded calendars.Daily routines with zero margin for change. The message was clear:If you want to be in control of your life, you have to control everything.No room for mistakes.No time for softness.No space for being human. So … Ler mais
Learning to Trust Calm After a Life of Chaos Sometimes, the hardest part of healing isn’t the pain.It’s the stillness that comes after.The quiet.The ease.The gentle way your body finally exhales — and you don’t quite know what to do with it. Because if you’ve lived most of your life in chaos — whether internal … Ler mais
For many of us, the ability to hear our own inner voice has been quietly eroded. Not because we weren’t wise.Not because we didn’t care.But because we learned — often early — to prioritize what others thought, said, or expected. Parents told us what was best.Teachers rewarded compliance.Friends taught us what was “normal.”The world showed … Ler mais
