I don’t know about you, but in recent times, I’ve been finding myself going down some rabbit holes. My mind starts to race and there seems to be no stopping it. It feels like a freight train running wild and any kind of attempt to “snap out of it” is likely to end up inContinue reading “5-min practice to calm the mind”

Conflict and true productivity
This week I’ve been triggered by a politician. His decisions and words angered me, because he’s hurting a group of people on purpose. I watched my body get ready to fight or flee, my mind fill up with hurtful thoughts, I even saw myself wishing that he’d get hurt, so he couldn’t go on withContinue reading “Conflict and true productivity”
Give yourself a fun title
Years ago I gave myself a title: The Force of Calm. At that point, it felt painfully inaccurate. I was anxious and tense most of the time, as I have been for most of my adult life.

There’s something magical in experiencing the elements in these extreme conditions. The storm seems louder at home,Continue reading “The eye of the storm”
Victory without a battle
I sit down to write. Right away, I feel a dullness in my head and panic rising in my mind. “It’s not a good time now. Maybe I should do it another time.”“I should make something to eat right now.”“I really should research this other thing first.” A million other things pop up in myContinue reading “Victory without a battle”
