Welcome to my blog!  

 

Here I will share my journey with you as I embark on a mission.  

 

My goal is to shift how I live my life.  

​

I’ve never really aligned with many of the “norms” in today’s culture, particularly in America.

When we are constantly surrounded by messages telling us to consume more, to do more, to work more, to control more it’s hard to see that there is another option.  

 

I’ve done all of the things.  I’ve scrolled for hours on social media, religiously checking who watched my feed and who liked my new photo.  I’ve put way too much energy into my career, striving for a level of perfection that could only end in complete burnout.  I've gotten into credit card debt from mindlessly spending on products that I didn’t need, and that I thought would make me feel good.  

 

Where did this leave me?  Exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed.   

 

I knew something had to change.  I knew this didn’t feel right.  I knew that this couldn’t be the only way to live and enjoy this one life we are given.  

​

As I dug deeper I found that I couldn’t find a straightforward solution.  There were bits and pieces, but I found a lot of them to just be trends, or temporary solutions.  A “slow living” lifestyle with specific guidelines, strict diets or workout programs, quit your job and become a digital nomad like in “Eat, Pray, Love”, do a “no spend year”.    

 

I wanted something more concrete.  Something that would last me for the longterm.  I needed a new culture to align to.  

 

And so, I set out to create my own set of rules.  To live a life full of values that I align with.  To feel energized, full, and satisfied.  To feel that my precious time is mine again. 

​

So I ask...Have you taken a break today?
