Wellbeing

Sometimes life can move so fast that it passes you by.

To keep myself (and others who feel the same) sane, I’m proposing six steps to keep us grounded as we ease into what comes next.

Your money won’t just buy you happiness. No, what we have today is a moral justification– a societal calling to spend money in order to better ourselves.

I was once one of those silly, “why go on a walk when you can go on a run” people. One of those, “shut up about your hot-girl walks” people

good thing I know how to be alone
so many people don’t 

Right now, you’re lying awake in some strange AirBnb in what feels like the middle of nowhere Vermont. 

Pulling specific dates and times from my oft-used MapMyRun running app, I rework the statistics collected under “further data” into my own interpretation of the important info: how I felt, where I am in my life now, and where I’m trying to go.

Finding joy in spontaneous change has transformed my life. Letting go is freeing. Change is something to be embraced. We cannot grow without metamorphosis.

Favorites day can happen however much you need it, and it can be whatever you want. Wear your favorite clothes, even if they don’t match. Do all the small things that make you happy.

I freeze in place and then thaw. Thoughts trickle along in a spiral of longing aspiration.
