A Word on Worry
I don't think of myself as a huge worrier but I find that in moments of experiencing something really good I can switch very quickly to feeling worried. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night gripped by worry over things that would not worry me for a second...
It takes being present.
I spent my last session of Accountability Works focused on joy. I found that the number one thing preventing me from experiencing joy was not being present. I was too busy to be present. I was rushed. Multitasking. I was making the mistake of equating being busy with...
What makes your happy place happy?
Do you have a happy place? A place you know you can go to relax and wash away your cares and hurts? A place where you remember who you are and what's important to you? I found mine 14 years ago when I came to Costa Rica for the first time. More than a dozen trips...
