Sit with the discomfort

Ever since I can remember, I have tried to run from pain and discomfort, whether emotional, mental or physical. I, instead, would obsess, wonder, escape, run away, ask why, or inquire how long it would last. I wanted to feel good and would do whatever it took, pay tons of money, to make myself feel …

Find your people

If you feel uncomfortable and not really accepted in a group you are a part of, you may just not be with your people. I have felt like an outcast, not a part of, for most of my life. Sure, some of that has to do with self esteem and confidence and doing the work …

Use the anger

Anger channeled appropriately is one of the most powerful forces out there! Many times in my life, I have found myself hitting a brick wall. I have felt lost, impatient, and righteously pissed off. Some of those times, I have remembered to take that anger and flip it. Alone, I might find myself screaming "Enough, …
