I have learned over the years that my problem is rarely my inability to finish things - it’s actually my resistance to beginning them that holds me back. An unfinished project is far less discouraging than a project you have yet to begin.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Stay present in the good times for sure, but don’t forget to stay grateful and present for the normal times too. The fact of the matter is - normal can be pretty dope - and if you lean into the not so normal shit with the right attitude - that can be pretty damn cool too.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Follow your mistakes. If you make a wrong turn - honor it. See where that takes you! The point of the process is to remain to as present and as mindful as you can as you allow your intuition to pull you in whatever direction it aligns with.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop when good things are happening to you. You deserve good things to happen to you and they are happening because of your commitment to yourself. Just don’t forget to continue that commitment by honoring what you really need in each present moment. You are allowed to take breaks especially if the upgraded problems feel a bit heavier at first. Then you can come...

Any intentional choices can ground you if you allow yourself to feel them fully. Try naming any of the senses you’re experiencing - like what you may see, feel, smell, taste, etc. if any apply to the moment. My favorite way to ground - other than intentional breath work - is through movement. That may be a walk, a workout, a dance, or a stretch. Other times it’s jumping in the nearest body of wate...

That’s what we mean by upgrading your problems. But the problem is - we get so excited about manifesting this new reality we don’t allow ourselves time to breathe and enjoy the process of getting there. And we know how hard it is to implement new change - why are we so hard on ourselves when it’s difficult for us to implement new change? It’s a hard thing to do - one of the hardest things to do. B...

We can improve our empathy skills by listening with genuine curiosity, putting ourself in other people’s shoes by asking ourselves “what if it was me” as they share their stories, and responding with our heart rather than just our head. When we can allow for feelings in our responses rather than only focusing on logic - we account for more of the whole picture. People are emotional beings - do dis...

It’s hard to remember that we’re not better than anyone even if they’re further behind on their healing journey than us - we have something to learn from everyone - don’t be surprised if it’s something about ourselves.  @MYDBpodcast is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed every morning.

Don’t be afraid to tackle shit head on so it doesn’t come back to bite you in the ass later. We all have baggage. Life comes at us fast sometimes and it can feel like things are stacking up against us. The sooner we come to terms with the fact that financial and emotional bullshit is going to smack us in the face sometimes, the sooner we can address it and get back to focusing in on our favorite v...

If I notice a friend becoming increasingly negative - I will associate them with negativity as a whole even if they only act that way 5% of the time - because I am hyper aware and focused on the behavior I am less aware of the times when they are not. My brain filters in their actions to prove a case that does not exist. @MYDBpodcast is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make...

You have to recognize that not everything needs to be upended to be fixed. There is this mentality that we live in a world where we all want the best possible scenario for ourselves and that’s beautiful but we can lose humanity if were not careful. Communicating effectively in relationships take effort - you shouldn’t just back out of every relationship that is a little difficult. @MYDBpodcast is...

Simply choosing healing can be triggering for those who aren’t ready to do so. This loss is necessary to clear space for those who align with a more healed you. Luckily isolation is good for resting and reflecting and redirecting your attention towards the things that light you up as much as you light others up. @MYDBpodcast is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed...

Just because we may have to go to the emergency room for certain injuries - doesn’t mean you want to ignore your splinters. It’s okay to feel down and out - even if the shit you’re feeling down and out about is petty. Usually, the stupidest shit sets me off. If I analyze why I can usually get to the bottom of my reaction and it’s typically triggered by a past experience but it always makes me feel...

Sometimes when we’re on the road to self compassion and healing we start to realize a lot of the people around us aren’t able to do that same journey with us. Sometimes, that may cause us to want to interfere and help them develop more quickly. But from our own healing journeys, we know its a very personal and intimate process that can only be done on one’s own. So let people heal on their own and...
