Mindfulness Tips

You Can Choose Your Life’s Purpose

December 4, 2019 by Lauren Leave a Comment

At the beginning of the year, I was having constant anxiety about what my purpose in life should be. I felt like I needed to keep moving forward—like I needed to do more.

I was researching grad school programs, looking into continuing education, and comparing myself to everyone I knew following the “traditional” route in life. I had this idea that I needed to fit a certain mold to be successful.

Then, something happened that changed my perspective completely. And I’ve never felt more peace in my entire life.

4 Daily Habits That Bring Me Peace From Anxiety

November 13, 2019 by Lauren Leave a Comment

Anxiety is no joke. As I talked about on my Instagram recently, it’s not cute or funny or something that exists in a bubble. It can affect your entire life and feel you struggling to function. But I also believe there are real ways we can help ourselves when we’re feeling anxiety—at least, ways we can help bring in more peace.

Today, I was thinking about what helps me the most. I’ve experienced a lot of anxiety in the last few months related to health anxiety. Things have eased up more lately and I’ve been feeling good.

We hear a lot about mindfulness, self-care, and positive thinking these days. But I’ve discovered there’s a piece of the wellness puzzle I often neglect, no matter how many veggies I eat, how many days I journal, or how many times I meditate per week. I’m talking about self-compassion.

13 Ordinary Things to Be Grateful for Today

February 25, 2019 by Lauren 2 Comments

things to be grateful for today

Gratitude can be hard when life is overwhelming. Even as I write this, my mind is addled by anxiety over a to-do list that just isn’t shortening quickly enough.

But it helps to take a step back from the big-picture rush and recognize small things to be grateful for.

You don’t have to feel amazing about them right now. But little moments of gratitude can help us keep life in perspective and remember what’s most important.

Do We Need to Protect Our Brains from Social Media?

February 9, 2019 by Lauren 2 Comments

impact of social media on society

The impact of social media on society is huge. The internet as a whole has changed our world.

We can now interact with other humans instantaneously, across the globe, sharing each moment of life with a few keystrokes and the click of a button.

This degree of access has opened up endless possibilities—in business, education, relationships, and more. I love that I can publish a thought as it comes to me, share pictures with family in another state, and connect with people from every country.

But I’m also concerned.

11 Mindful Ways to Get More Meaning Out of the Holidays

December 14, 2018 by Lauren Leave a Comment

how to be more mindful for the holidays

I know that in the past (and still sometimes), I have trouble with simply being present during the holidays.

I’ll often pick up my phone and snap a picture for social media or check my Facebook during a lull in the conversation. Or I’ll still be running off adrenaline or stress from work, making it hard to get in the true holiday spirit and remember what’s most important during this time.

Mindfulness is hard—especially in times of busyness and travel and heightened emotions (even good ones). But it’s important. Staying in the present moment is what allows us to get the most out of the precious instances in life. It’s what helps us get out of our heads and away from our phones long enough to appreciate those around us.

If you get what I mean and crave that extra depth too, here are some thoughts on how to be more mindful during the holidays this year. [Read more…] about 11 Mindful Ways to Get More Meaning Out of the Holidays
