Learning to Focus on What Matters- Just Showing Up
This morning, I woke up to a message from a friend. She sent me a post from one of her running friends, and it was honestly life changing. It wasn’t necessarily anything new, but for some reason, it hit different. I had been thinking about not focusing on races for a bit because I was…

Just Grateful- Always Wanting to Share My Story
It’s so interesting to look back on the past several years knowing that I had ZERO idea where I would be today… physically and mentally/emotionally. (also literally in a whole new state) When I talk with people who I just recently met, it’s so hard to explain to them where I’ve come from and who…

Learning to be Flexible with the Roller Coaster of Life
One of the things that I have been working with my therapist on is perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking (and living). It has always been a major challenge for me my whole adult life pretty much (well, and before I’m sure). Working with this therapist has been such a different experience for me than the past…

There’s Nothing Wrong with Seeking Excellence + Learning How to Avoid Self-Sabotage
In the past, every time I have started to get consistent with healthy habits of any kind, I started self-sabotaging without realizing it. Then I went through months of struggle.

What is my motive?
Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to overthink the majority of the time. After my last post about allowing myself to “just be,” I have been working hard at doing that. I have had a week and a half of processing that, what it means for me, and how to live that out…

Identity and Starting with What I Know
Through journaling this morning, I realized that I have a lot of questions about what’s next for me, what to focus on, what’s truth for me (without distraction), what’s important to me, what are non-negotiables, what I’m not sure about still, and what I’m ready to let go of. I spend a lot of time…

Learning to Control the Chaos in My Head
I feel like I’ve lost sight of a lot the past week or two. Last year (especially in the fall), my relationship with Jesus grew to a whole new level. I was spending time with Him every single morning without fail… praying for a long time, spending time in His Word, and worshiping Him. I would worship…

Messy and Beautiful- Cease Striving
Ten days ago, I wrote a blog post called “In a Healthy Place.” The main purpose of sharing that was to share about how healthy this place that we live is, but I also mentioned that I am not depressed for the first time in winter (in years). I also just wanted to share about the…
