What’s the Present Moment and Why Should I Care?
When we talk about the present moment, we’re talking about right now. And now. And also now. It moves along with you. In other words, whatever the thing is that you’re doing/reading/smelling is the present moment.
I Hate My Job... Now What?
Well, of course the easy answer is to “leave it and find something else.” It’s not that simple, though. Technically, it is that simple, but in actuality, there’s way more that goes into making changes than just impulsively deciding on doing something. Here are five questions to ask yourself when you’re faced with hating your job and feeling stuck about it.
Accepting That People Might Not Like You
This seems funny to talk about, but it’s actually a significant factor in lots of lives. Here's the long and short of it. You will interact with people who don’t like you. WILL. Not “maybe you can sway them,” but actually, “some people won’t like you.” Period. Sit with that. Is it hard to stomach?
I Feel Lost With Life... I Don’t Know What To Do
Feeling untethered? Unsure about where to go next, what to do with your life, and what your future holds? (Technically, nobody knows what the future holds, but that doesn’t mean we should say ‘screw it’ and completely disconnect what control we do have in our life.)
Let’s Talk Transitions
Life is characterized by transitions. They're unavoidable. They're uncomfortable. And they feel completely unique and isolating when they happen, but there's actually some order to the chaos.
Existential Drift...
I don’t even know if that's a term or not, but it makes sense in my head. Here’s what I meant by existential drift–it’s that moment in time when you’re thinking about the meaning of life, or why you’re here, or what’s your purpose, or what’s it all mean, and then you shift from curiosity and awe into despair, angst, and terror.
Embrace the Boredom of Life
I’m just going to come out and say it. Life can be boring, mundane, and monotonous. There. It’s out in the open. Can’t take it back.
Anxiety–Part II (Existential)
Alrighty, friends. This is a continuation of the first part in a series of posts on anxiety. Each post covers one distinct aspect of anxiety (existential, biological and genetic, evolutionary, psychological, and behavioral) and all aspects can comprise your (or anybody’s) experience with anxiety.
