Six Ways to Take Care of the You That Matters
Within the past year, the United States alone has endured a global pandemic, extreme racism, a worsening political climate, and I think it is far to say, just an overall crappy year. Seriously, it’s almost been a full year; the world completely shut down in March of 2020.

Create the life you want
She put the pen to the paper and began jotting down all the things she had envisioned for herself. Where she wanted to live, what she wanted to do for her forever career, and how she wanted to feel. For the first time ever it felt obtainable. It felt as if it was all possible. Even if it was just scribbled in the millionth “on-sale” journal she had bought this year.

The Utility of Making Lists
A key productivity hack that really works wonders in our fast-paced, modern era, which involves both discipline and consistency is to make a list. It is also an excellent habit to build upon and one that only requires your laptop and a ‘notes’ application or just a simple pen and piece of paper. Lists have a reputation of being tedious and time-consuming, but what is actually more time consuming is spending minutes or even hours trying to remind yourself what tasks or items you actually have to do.

What I’ve Learned In The Last 40 Years.
There’s something about being at the midpoint of life that has me feeling contemplative. It’s almost like it would be a disservice to myself if I didn’t take the time to look back and review the last forty years of my life to learn from my mistakes as I move forward.

Great Expectations
Like most of us, when I was growing up, my parents had certain high expectations for me. I had to do well in sports, academics, work, you name it. I had to be good at it. The truth of the matter is, I didn’t like any of those things, so I may not have tried as hard as I could to be good at them. In fact, I became something of a class clown, always getting my friends to cause disturbances in the classroom. This got me in trouble more times than I can count, and I began to develop a reputation as a troublemaker. The thing is, I knew what I was doing was wrong because it was disrespectful; however, it was my way of rebelling against my parents’ expectations of me. I figured I couldn’t meet those expectations, so I shouldn’t even try. Eventually, I quit sports (I wasn’t good at baseball anyway) and dropped out of high school to work full time.

Dark Night Of The Mind
Shrouded in darkness, I cannot seem to shake this inexplicable feeling that something, someone, is scrutinizing my every move and thoughts, down to the very core of their frequencies. What is this place, where am I? It’s cold and damp. The misty air leaves a moist residue inside my nostrils and cools my throat on every inhale. There’s a thick odor of mold, so dense I can taste it. I’m confused and dizzy from the intense struggle of trying to determine my whereabouts. Turning my head right, I can faintly see a degraded, concrete surface. I stared for a moment as moisture meandered down its cold, hard texture. I see the same to my left, above and behind me. The only direction I can move is forward, down an almost pitch black, narrow corridor. This is eerily creepy, like some sort of masochistic antagonism. Who’s watching me? Is my despair and desperation feeding their sadistic ambitions?
