The best way to wrap up the year ✨

Hi Reader, How’s December treating you? Are you fretting about the new year already, wondering what goals you’re going to set or what you might do differently next year? If so, this is your reminder to pause for a moment. (This newsletter is called The Moment, after all.) Just take a second to breathe. Before we even get to thinking about 2024, let’s be here right now. For the past few years, I haven’t set goals at the beginning of the year. I used to think I had to plan out my entire year in...

Hi Reader, There’s a motto I like to tell myself when my thoughts are all over the place: “Your head is not for storing information.” Sure, our minds are great for generating ideas and finding solutions to problems, but they’re not great at remembering every little thing that needs to be done. That’s where the inbox system comes in. I recently shared about how closing the open loops in your life can help reduce stress, and the inbox system is one way you can manage and organize those open...

Hi Reader, Do you remember the “That Girl” trend from 2021? “That Girl” is someone who gets up early, meditates, drinks a smoothie, journals, works out, eats healthy food, and takes her vitamins all before 8 a.m. The craze has died down now, but there’s still a lot of advice out there telling you to cram as many ‘good’ habits as you can into your mornings (and life in general). I know I’ve gotten sucked into lists on Pinterest for the perfect morning routine and thought to myself ‘If only I...

Hi Reader, Do you feel like everyone else has their lives figured out while you’re still unsure of your purpose and direction? When I was twenty, I thought thirty-something me would have all my ducks in a row and every little detail of my life in order. Instead, my thirties are teaching me that unexpected twists and turns are all part of the journey. Perhaps it’s good that things are never set in stone because it means we’re always evolving and learning more about ourselves as the years go...

Hi Reader, How often do you find yourself avoiding the things that you want to do? Perhaps it’s a big life goal that feels overwhelming, or maybe a smaller daily habit that you know makes you feel better. It’s easy enough to avoid the things we don’t enjoy, but you’d think it’d be easier to do the things we actually want to do. Time is obviously one of the key factors (and one of my top excuses) for not doing something, but I think energy is even more of an issue. We only have so much mental,...

Hi Reader, A few years ago, I wrote a post encouraging people to stop searching for answers. The topic came from my own experience of seeking out ideas and solutions from other people whenever I felt stuck in life. After all, it’s natural to want to see how other people have navigated difficult situations. But this would lead me to obsessively search for answers, trying to find the *right* one that would somehow fix everything in my life. What I learned through a lot of trial and error is...

Hi Reader, I mentioned in my last email that I’ve been in a creative rut for the past few years, and I’ve just generally been feeling stuck with where I’m at in life. It feels like I’ve been moving through wet cement, trying to get somewhere but I’m not quite sure where. Late one night, I decided to search on YouTube for the phrase ‘how to transform your life.’ I knew I needed some form of change, but I wasn’t sure what. The younger me would have thought I needed to do something drastic like...

Hi, Reader! How often do you forget what happened in your life over the course of a month? Do you feel like you’re living the same day over and over again? I promise you’re not. You might just be bad at accurately remembering what’s happening in your life (and I’m right there with you). With constant distractions and the bounties of information we consume on a daily basis, it’s hard to remember anything and our attention spans are only getting shorter. So how do we avoid letting everything...

Hi, Reader! I'm coming to you today with a new newsletter. Would you look at that? It’s been a while since I showed up in your inbox, and I’m sorry about that. Do you want to know why that is? It's not because I've been too busy. No, it's because I've been letting perfectionism hold me back. I thought at my ripe old age of 31, I’d be over this whole perfectionism thing. But today I had an eye-opening conversation with my coach that’s helped me see how this shows up in my life and WHY it’s not...

Hi, Reader! Lately I've been thinking about how difficult it can be to truly live in the present moment. I was trying to figure out why I (or others) find it hard to be in the moment we're living, rather than fretting about the future or ruminating on the past. At first, the idea of perfectionism came to mind. Often when we're focusing on the future, we might be worrying that things won't live up to the expectations we have in our heads. When we ruminate on the past, we might be wishing that...
