For some weird reason, my mind thinks abstract. I think very broadly and about humanity at large. I think about my purpose here and what it means to be human. How strange it is to exist and what the point of it all is… All I truly know is the body I dwell in and the eyes I see through. I’ve become insatiable when it comes to understanding who we are. We’re complex beings. Every single experience creates our reality. It shapes us and one of the most beautiful things…
“Remember one thing: when you remember that you have forgotten watching, don’t become sorry, don’t repent; otherwise, again you are wasting time. Don’t feel miserable. “I missed again.” Don’t start feeling ” I am a sinner.” Don’t start condemning yourself, because this is a sheer waste of time. Never repent for the past! Live in the moment. If you have forgotten, so what? It was natural– It has become a habit, and habits die hard. And these are not habits. imbided in one’s life; these are habits imbided in millions of…
“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” ― Joseph Campbell A bold title, I know. My intention here is to share with you, what I believe is the meaning of life. Not in a philosophical or religious context, but rather, what I believe creates a life of deep meaning and continuous joy on a daily basis. Now, we all have a different path, story, mission, purpose,…
“I’ve discovered that if I cling to the notion that something’s not possible, I’m arguing in favor of limitation.” – Gay Hendricks, The Big Leap Clinging on to the impossibilities, or what you currently think is impossible results in two things: ONE: It doesn’t motivate you to get started or try and TWO: It never allows you to go after the life you deserve Believing that something’s not possible is like placing a huge stop sign in front of you when you’re making a decision. I get it. We all have…
Last April I was fortunate enough to take a 3-month yoga teacher training course. Although I fell in love with the practice (asana), aka poses, I was captivated by the psychological, emotional and spiritual teachings of The Yoga Sutras. There are 196 Yoga Sutras, that study the mind, heart, and soul, offering insights into how we can live a life of continuous peace and joy. These ancient Indian teachings help us see life from a multiple -dimensional perspective in a similar way art or music elicits a different feeling in…
Another year has flown by and as I reflect on my 2017 goals, It’s bittersweet to see what I’ve accomplished and what still needs some work. If you can relate to feeling this way…. DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP. Instead of going down the rabbit hole of “what I did wrong,” it’s a great time to reflect on what went right! Celebrating our victories, both big and small, are fueling. It gives us the momentum to focus on what’s working FOR US, rather than what’s working AGAINST us. Life is…
When we aspire to overcome our painful patterns, we tend to look into the past for answers. At times, the past can be a source of discovery, solutions, and even, a tool for preventing future suffering. But the internal battle we find ourselves trapped in, time and time again, is really a desperate yearn for our needs to be met, our behaviors to change, and our thoughts to be alleviated. What’s this internal battle I’m referring to? It’s our psychological and behavioral patterns. Our patterned thoughts and actions. We all…

How do you handle pain? Most of us try to avoid it all together. Instead, we invite pleasure and distraction in to help us cope with those intense emotions. But in the midst of our own pain, it seems almost impossible to experience anything beyond suffering. What if there was a way out? Believe it or not, it’s possible to work through the pain we feel by breaking down the psychological meaning we attach to it. Most people label pain as damaging, weak or interfering. As something that isn’t useful….
I want to let you in on a little secret. At any moment of your life, you can make the decision to change. You can make the decision to challenge what you think, to challenge what others think of you, and most importantly, what roles society expects from you too. Look, I’m not saying let’s all be anarchists. Quite the contrary, actually. But when we begin to challenge how a culture or society expects a certain gender to act, behave, and function, is when we begin to see the world…
