After a few weeks of feeling mentally energetic but physically demotivated, I've decided that it's time to flip the switch (again). My health and I have a cyclical relationship...I usually don't really care until I have to, which means I have a health scare or I have some big event I have to physically prepare … Continue reading 21 Days To A New Me (And You)

Don’t Have Time? Make It.
Time is surreal. It's a manmade concoction with which we rule our lives. Some people say time is money, time is life, life is money. Some people never have enough time to finish a project, pursue their dreams, or spend with their loved ones. I say that if you don't have enough time in your … Continue reading Don’t Have Time? Make It.
Due Diligence and Making an Action Plan
So, we've covered 1) how to set goals, and 2) how to make goals achievable. We've also talked a little bit about being consistent. But, what good is all of that if you haven't done your homework? Due diligence is crucial! Careful planning is required for every action plan. Having a wishful to-do list does you … Continue reading Due Diligence and Making an Action Plan
4 Steps To Making Your Goals More Achievable
In my last post, I went at great lengths to detail exactly HOW to set goals. It might seem a bit self-explanatory but I've worked with a lot of people who are just plain overwhelmed and don't know where to start. If you are one of those people, hopefully my suggestions helped! So, we've established … Continue reading 4 Steps To Making Your Goals More Achievable
Find Success By Setting Goals
I make lists all of the time: lists of things to do, places to see, what to accomplish. But, what I haven't done in awhile is put together a strategy of how to get there. (My idea of long-term planning is making dinner reservations at the end of the week.) Most of what I've done … Continue reading Find Success By Setting Goals
The Importance of Consistency
One of the things I struggle with is consistency. I'm a worker bee and I try to be a great friend, but I'm not exactly the most consistent. I guess you could say that consistency is my Achilles' heel. I realize that it's a weakness but when I feel myself slipping, I strive for it. In … Continue reading The Importance of Consistency
Wanderlust Isn’t For The Faint Hearted
I graduated college with some big plans for myself. I wanted to travel the world immediately after my undergraduate degree was conferred. It would've been sometime in September 2007, when I was on the last leg of my global internship in Thailand. It was amidst a recession and someway, somehow, my phone rang when I … Continue reading Wanderlust Isn’t For The Faint Hearted
Surrounding Yourself With The Right People
I had this great blog entry planned out, but then I decided I was too tired to write a post and edit it. Instead I decided to vlog and it took just as long...but at least it exercised a different part of my brain and I feel as though I've learned something new. Yay iMovie! … Continue reading Surrounding Yourself With The Right People
The Wish Box
This year I urge you to hold yourself accountable to your aspirations. Write down what you wish for! I took a small box and filled it with a handful of strips, each one with a different wish for changes I want to see in my life. When I am unsure of what to next set … Continue reading The Wish Box
Finding Inspiration When You Need It Most
When I find that I am low on patience and inspiration, I usually head towards the water. It's humbling to be surrounded by something so majestic and grand as the Pacific Ocean. After all, the oceans covers 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contains 97 percent of the planet's water. And, at any moment … Continue reading Finding Inspiration When You Need It Most
