65: pie of life
#66
07/11/2024

 The Pie of Life, or sometimes called the wheel of life, exercise is a popular tool in psychology, coaching, and self-help. The idea originated from spiritual leader, Paul J. Meyer, who created the Pie of Life in the 1960s as a way to help people create goals that supported their overall health.  

The circular shape of the Pie of Life is all about balance. In a fairly-portioned pie, no one slice should be larger than another. But of course, there's always a fight for the larger slice, just as in life, we tend to focus more on ce...

Dharma, your purpose, Blueprint is your plan to fulfill that purpose! The Dharma Blueprint allows for your dharma to expand and evolve. Though your dharma is eternal, its manifestation will change as you get to know yourself and move through life. Your dharma isn’t just one role, project, career or job.

There are five elements of the Dharma Blueprint:
1. Your Dharma Archetype(s)
2. The medium that naturally flows through you
3. What excites you

62: importance of fun

Why having fun and truly experiencing pleasure and joy in life is just as important as being productive. Having fun releases dopamine which leads to positivity and can counteract feelings of stress and overwhelm, so it actually has a positive impact on our biological wellbeing. Not making time for pleasurable activities can lead to increased irritability, anger, feelings of depression, and anxiety among other mental and physical health issues. 76% of adults surveyed by the American Psychological Association said stress from politics, race relations, violence and inflation has affected their health. They report experiencing headaches, fatigue, depression, nervousness and exhaustion...


61: presence in the unknown

04/23/2024

Have you ever been in a situation where you were utterly confused and slightly concerned on how everything was going to transpire? Navigating the unknown can provoke fear and send anyone into a tizzy if they allow the possibility of what if's to spiral into the ether. However, as someone who has always naturally defaulted to worse case scenarios, shifting my focus to what's occurring right in front of me instead of "what could be" removed a ton of pressure of trying to ensure everything goes perfectly to plan. It's not easy, but the practice popularized by Ram Dass...

58: never give up
#59
04/02/2024

Life has a funny way of working out exactly as it's meant to, but when the intended path shifts into a muddy creek filled with thorn bushes many consider or end up throwing in the towel. Because why not? "This can't be the right way" "I must have made a wrong turn" "If it's not easy, it's not meant to be" "This is hard" are all phrases that have streamed through my mind at various points in my career, relationships and even my own self discovery journey. In the midst of another major transition within my life, I recognize...

Have you ever consistently seen 111? or a specific color or animal accompanied with a deep, unshakable sense of peace? You might also have a recurring dream or see a specific symbol or person within your dream. That could be another way your inner world is trying to tell you something. Even experiencing a strong feeling pulling you towards a particular person or location or being pushed away from certain paths in life is a clear sign from the universe. These are all ways that you can communicate with your intuition, but can be a tad overwhelming when you're first...
