Welcome to a trip through the maze of our thoughts. Today, we're diving deep into the wild world of cognition to uncover a simple truth: thoughts ain't facts.

Life Coach: "Tell me three things you're good at."
Me: "Hmm, let's see... Well, I'm a pro at overthinking, second-guessing, and stress eating."
Life Coach: "Uh, let's try again."
Yup, the classic back-and-forth banter that could easily be a scene from a sitcom. As someone who's intimately familiar with the art of overthinking, second-guessing, and stress eating, let me take you on a lighthearted journey of self-discovery—filled with relatable tales, mishaps, and the occasional life lesson…(click on title to read more)
Ever feel like life's just one big parade of positivity? Well, Mark Manson's "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" is here to rain on that parade—in the best way possible. This unconventional self-help gem throws out the clichés and dives straight into the nitty-gritty of what it means to truly give a damn about the things that matter. Here are some highlights…
Feeling a bit down lately? Maybe you spilled coffee on your favorite shirt or got hit with extra work right before the weekend. Low moods have a knack for making everything worse, don't they? And to top it off, they bring along their buddy, self-criticism. I know that inner critic all too well. It's like having a judgmental roommate in your brain, pointing out your flaws 24/7. Evicting that sucker is no cakewalk, believe me. Sure, people say, "Stop being so hard on yourself!" But let's be real – if it were that easy, we'd all be swimming in self-love. But fear not, my fellow self-critics, there's hope! We may not banish those self-critical thoughts forever, but we can weaken their grip. Here's how…(click on title to read more)
Hey there, fellow worrywarts and overthinkers! Today, we're diving headfirst into the wild and wacky world of worry – that delightful little pastime where our minds love to play the "what if" game on repeat like a broken record. But fear not, my anxious amigos, because I've got a secret weapon up my sleeve that's guaranteed to put those pesky worries in their place. Are you ready? Here it is: the art of not giving a darn about your "what ifs." Now, I know what you're thinking – easier said than done, right? Trust me, I've spent more time than I care to admit locked in a battle of wits with my own "what ifs." What if I fail? What if I embarrass myself? What if the world spontaneously combusts while I'm in the middle of a grocery run? Okay, maybe that last one's a tad dramatic, but you get the idea…
Ack, the wild world of judgments – those labels our minds love sticking on everything from situations to people to traffic lights. Yes, let’s talk about that. WHAT IF we pressed pause on our inner judge and embraced life in all its messy, magnificent glory? Let's get real – our minds can act like overactive referees, constantly deciding if a situation is a win or a loss. Green lights and friendly folks? We roll out the red carpet and party. But red lights and annoying people? They're slammed with a guilty verdict faster than you can say "road rage." But WHAT IF…(click on title to read more)
Today, we're shaking things up and diving into the awesome realm of expecting the best. Imagine this: you're staring down a deadline, a nerve-wracking presentation, or an event that's got your stomach doing somersaults. Your brain starts spinning with all the ways things could go wrong. But hold up – what if we hit pause on those doom-and-gloom thoughts and dared to think differently? What if, instead of assuming the worst, we asked ourselves, "What if it goes great?"

Hey there, fellow adventurers on life's rollercoaster! Buckle up for a wild ride as we dig into the search for contentment.

We believe hitting certain milestones or achieving goals will bring that elusive sense of fulfillment. But here's the twist – real contentment isn't in success or life's highs.

Hey there, morning riser! As you peel yourself out of bed and gear up to face the day (maybe with a few groans along the way), let's kick those morning blues to the curb. We all know how our brains love to dish out a dose of negativity with our morning brew…your mind might start racing with worries and concerns about the day ahead, replaying the mistake from yesterday, jumping to worst-case scenarios and magnifying potential problems, comparing yourself to others on social media, or maybe you’re waking up just feeling groggy is the already the perfect recipe for your brain to slip unconsciously into a negative mindset…need I go on? But have no fear, it’s why we’re here! Let’s steer you toward a brighter outlook…(Click on title to read more…)
“Yeew” is what I think of when I think of those pesky "should" statements that tend to dominate our inner dialogue. But fear not, we're not here to bore you with serious stuff – there'll be plenty of humor to keep things interesting! Imagine this: You're cruising through your day when suddenly, anxiety or disappointment crashes the party in your mind. Cue the spotlight on those "should" statements, rolling out like a never-ending script you never asked for. "I should've handled that better." "I should be farther along in my career." "I should have all the answers by now." Sound familiar? It's like a broken record, right? But hold onto your hats, because we're about to flip the script….(click on title to read more)
