    How to Choose Your Priorities

    August 21, 2020 /

    Have you ever wondered about how to choose your priorities in a way that leads to an effective and happy life? It’s been on my mind lately as we’re moving into fall and getting back to a more normal routine.  How can we choose our priorities in a way that helps us meet our goals? Choosing Our Priorities Wisely Choosing our priorities wisely can make such a difference not only in the pace of our lives but also in the goals we set. So how do we choose these priorities?

Change is Not Easy Change is not easy. Times of transition can be so challenging, not just to us but also those closest to us.

    3 Lessons from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

    May 1, 2020 /

    Today I wanted to share 3 Lessons from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, a counter intuitive approach to living a good life. This book was recommended to me several years ago when I started working on my personal self-care and mental health. When I read it, it changed my perspective on many things in my life.   When I chose books for my goal of reading 12 books in 2020, I added The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck since I it made such an impression on me when I first read it.
