Heres’ what I’ve come to know: There cannot be peace, be it with another person or with ourselves, until we take an honest examination of our motives. (Motive is defined as a reason for doing something, especially one that is hidden or not obvious.) And this is especially true when it comes to our relationships.

motive is everything

Can you remember the last time you took a break from your tech? If you’re a daily detox bather, then you’re at least getting a good 30 minutes of device-free time each day, not including your sleeping hours, of course. But a digital detox is about more than just switching off your phone. When it comes to your health and mind-body balance, taking time away from technology can give you some much needed rest. When you make space for screen-free time, you can focus more deeply on what matters to you most. Reading books to your child, meditating, napping, bathing, and devoting time to a favorite hobby can help refresh your outlook during times of stress.

It may seem obvious but if you don't drink enough water, you become dehydrated, which leads to so many undesirable side effects. However, if you drink more water, there are many remarkable benefits, so remarkable in fact, that we consider hydration the low hanging fruit of over-all health and wellness.

There’s nothing more fundamental to self-care than getting enough sleep each night. Stress, too much technology, and overdoing it on caffeine can all wreak havoc on your precious nightly rest. Not only does regularly sleeping well help protect your mind-body health overall, it also promotes an easy breezy attitude when it comes to managing stress.

toxic self-talk

Everyone is obsessed with morning routines, but what about nighttime? How you unwind from your day is as important to your overall well-being as your morning self-care practice is.

I call it the Triangle Syndrome. Others call it a rut. Still others, happiness. Whichever term you prefer, the definition is identical: Life maneuvered around the same, few points. The pattern sounds something like this: office, grocery, home. Repeat. Covid has further abbreviated the distance between the triangle’s corners to mere double-digit square footage, reducing us to an even more mindless circuit: bedroom, home office, kitchen. Repeat. (I believe the criminal justice system calls this “house arrest.”)

emotional autopilot

If your weekends end in a case of the ‘Sunday Scaries’ reconsider your approach to how you greet the coming week.

If you’ve ever emerged from a swim in the sea, then you know how uplifting and enlivening it can be. The feeling of raw salt, sun, and water droplets on your skin reconnects you to how alive and clear your body and mind can feel.
