Are you a lifelong learner?
Aren’t we all? Absolutely! If we aren’t learning and evolving, are we experiencing anything? Are we paying attention in our daily lives? As much as I listen to podcasts (I definitely need to read more), I feel like a lot of learning comes from life lessons. Being a human with an ego in this chaotic world is no easy feat!
What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?
Gratitude!!! Making a list of things that I am grateful for truly brings me to the present moment and shows me how blessed I am. Whether it is writing it down or speaking out loud by myself when I’m on a drive, I notice such a difference in my mood and how present I am when I practice it.
Is a little chaos actually good for us?
Absolutely! How else would we build resilience on this crazy planet we call Earth? Of course constant chaos would drive anyone mad, but a nice balance is necessary for human evolution.
What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?
I’d say to try to recognize that all of our thoughts are not meant for us to attach to. If a certain negative thought keeps coming up, maybe try writing it down and asking “is this true?” Also, remember brains tend to have a negative bias as a means to survive so it’s important to actively look for positive things. I personally feel practicing gratitude is a great way to get present and combat negative thoughts.
My husband and I had a couple of our good friends over and their little ones last night! I’m glad the rain went away long enough for us to be able to walk over and enjoy the firework show!
What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective?
Boredom can be a wonderful thing when you realize it’s where peace resides and creativity is born.
Maybe life really is about making your 8-year-old self happy. Doing things just to do them; not for profit, not for views- just doing the things that you want to do for YOU.
Maybe life is about seeking out the beauty in all the things we deem to be “imperfect.” Seeing and appreciating what makes everything so special and unique in this world.
Maybe life is about finding what truly lights up your soul and pouring into yourself whenever you can. Filling your own cup up so full that it starts spilling love and light onto others who come across your path.
Maybe life is about noticing and being grateful for the abundance of blessings that surround you everyday. Basking in the happiness that you’ve created for yourself, and recognizing how much of your life is answered prayers.
Maybe life is having faith that no matter how hard life may get, we are more than capable of making it through. Recognizing how much you have overcome in this lifetime, and appreciating the person you have become along the way.
Maybe life is about slowing down and being present to the love that is within you, and all around you. Maybe this is what life is about.
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?
Having genuine human connections is way more fulfilling than followers, views and money.
