Boundaries

Boundaries.

There is a reason this term is a buzzword.

We all know we need them, yet they can take so much willpower, and therefore, energy, for us to not only implement but also to follow through with. This can cause resistance in the strongest sense of the word.

But what if we could acknowledge that resistance while reminding ourselves of the true necessity of boundaries? I wonder if there might be a bit more incentive to do the work required for a healthier self.

Who Are You?

With Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, tis the season for relationships.

It can be so easy to turn our attention outward instead of inward… and especially during this season. But we’re convinced your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship of all. Why?

Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for all of your other relationships.

What Deserves Your Attention?

Our world is full of continual notifications (Ahem, distractions) and constant “connectivity”, making it feel like we always need to be “on”.

Naturally, this makes it extremely difficult to be intentional about where we expend our focus + attention.

Attention, focus, and intention? Aren’t those all the same thing?

Breathe to Focus

Conscious + regulated breathing directly affects the levels of a natural chemical messenger in the brain called noradrenaline.

This messenger ultimately enhances our focus and attention levels while improving our brain health.

This means that as we mindfully and rhythmically inhale and exhale, our attention is strengthened and our focus is optimized.

Your Unexpected Addiction

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in processing rewards. In fact, it is the final common pathway for all pleasurable, intoxicating, and rewarding experiences.

AKA it’s a pretty big deal for positive experiences.

While inherently linked to pleasure — on the flip side — it can also greatly contribute to pain. The more dopamine a drug or behavior releases, the more addictive it likely is.

Why Are We So Obsessed With the News?

Many of us have a complicated relationship with the news, with complicated being a massive understatement.

We are attached and utterly dependent on our devices to provide us with dopamine hits on a consistent basis, and it’s likely to get even worse.

Why are we so effing obsessed with the news?

On Setting Intentions

Whether you’re into fall or not, the changing of seasons in and of itself can bring about so much intentionality— if we let it.

As we all know, life moves quickly. And if we don’t stop to see what we want out of it, we often end up aimless, unsettled, and flying by the seat of our pants.

Yes, it’s fun to go with the flow, but not when you are trying to achieve your dreams.

So as we near the end of the third quarter of 2021, let’s pause to dream a little— to set our intentions for the end of the year and all that it has to offer.
