Visualization - it’s one of those terms that brings up a lot of connotations of woo woo hippie communities, spiritual practices, and the law of attraction. “If you want a better life just visualize it and manifest it!” (Eye roll) I’ve always been very skeptical of visualization practices and their ability to bring the future … Continue reading Why you should start practicing Visualization (as backed by scientific evidence)
Meditation is a lot like the Powerball lottery
Imagine that your mind is like one of those lottery bowls. Like this - via GIPHY Each ball represents a thought. Swirling around and around inside of your head.

Live like nobody is watching
I like the concept of "dance like no one is watching" When no one is watching, we’re more free to express ourselves. We don’t worry about judgement. We can let loose. Be more authentic.

The Forgettable Zone of Life
How many moments or days of your life have you lost to the “forgettable zone”? - A space and time of life where you did nothing memorable.
