  • RELEASE: The Power to Let Go

    Today is a great day to release!

    What are you letting go of today? Stress, worry, a bad relationship, unhealthy habits? Has it been long overdue?

    As we step into the Fall season—a season of transformation—we can take inspiration from nature. The leaves change color and fall, reminding us that letting go is part of growth. Science even explains that as the wind blows, it weakens the leaf’s connection to the branch, and the leaf falls away. Through that release, the tree conserves energy and prepares for renewal.

    In the same way, release allows us to grow. Let go of what no longer serves you—the people, thoughts, or habits that weigh you down and prevent you from moving forward. A shift in mindset is essential if we want to level up in life. Releasing is not just about letting go—it’s about finding peace.

    Why is this so important? Because when we don’t release, the same patterns repeat: unhealthy relationships, health issues, constant procrastination, arguments, or unachieved goals. Sometimes it’s as simple as holding on to habits we know aren’t helping. Deep down, you already know what it’s time to release.

    Be courageous enough to acknowledge it—and let it go.

    Ways to Release

    Here are some practices you can try to support your release journey:

    • Journal:
      Write down your feelings, thoughts, and what you want to release. Personally, I like to write it down, then take it outside and burn the paper—it’s symbolic and freeing.
    • Spend time in nature:
      Go for a walk, sit quietly under the trees, or be near water. Nature has a way of soothing us and helping us breathe more deeply.
    • Move your body:
      Dance in your living room, hit the gym, or try yoga. Physical movement helps release built-up energy and leaves you feeling refreshed.
    • Scream it out:
      Sometimes nothing works better than letting out a loud scream in a safe space. It’s simple, but it can release so much tension.
    • Break it (safely!):
      If you need something physical, look into a local Rage Room. These are designed spaces where you can safely break items as a form of stress relief. If you try this, be sure to wear protective gear like goggles.

    These are just a few options I’ve tried—or considered. The key is to find what works for you. Whatever method you choose, let it help you release the old so you can move forward refreshed, open, and ready for something new.

  • Are You Feeling It Too? Protecting Your Peace in Unsettled Times

    How are you showing up for yourself during this incredibly complex time we’re living in?

    Between politics, economics, and the shifting dynamics of everyday life, many of us are navigating unfamiliar emotional territory. For some, anxiety and depression is new. For others, old wounds have resurfaced due to pressure. Maybe you’ve never struggled before—and now find yourself asking, “What’s happening to me?”

    You’re not alone. I’ve noticed it too.

    When I step out into the world, there’s a heaviness in the air. People seem tense, distant, sometimes even numb. It’s like many are walking in tunnel vision, avoiding eye contact or connection just to make it through the day.

    The kindness we once took for granted—smiles, warmth, presence—feels rare now. In some moments, it seems like the masks have come off, and people’s true emotions—especially frustration and fear—can no longer be hidden.

    So I ask again: How are you holding up?

    Have you noticed any of this?

    • Feeling uneasy in crowds or certain settings?
    • Picking up on the tension or “heaviness” around you?
    • Sensing negativity or even “monitoring” energy in work or social spaces?

    If so, you’re not alone. The collective stress is real, but the good news is that we can control how we respond to it.

    Ways to Protect Your Energy & Find Comfort

    1. Check In With Yourself
      Awareness is key. Before entering a space, ask yourself: How am I feeling right now?  Recognizing your emotions helps you navigate better with purpose.
    2. Practice Calming Breathing Techniques
      Deep breathing is a simple but powerful tool. Inhale slowly, hold for a few seconds, and exhale gently. No need for dramatic sighs—just steady, quiet breaths to center yourself.
    3. Visualize a Protective Light
      Imagine a white shield surrounding you, deflecting negativity. This mental barrier can help you feel safer in indifferent spaces.
    4. Stay Observant & Trust Your Instincts
      If a place feels off—too crowded, tense, or just wrong—it’s okay to leave. Your comfort and safety matter more than pushing through discomfort.
    5. Lean on Your Support System
      Have a go-to person (or people) you can call or text when you need grounding. Sometimes, just knowing someone’s there can ease anxiety.
    6. Carry a Self-Care Kit
      Small comforts make a difference. Keep gum, fruit, or candy on hand. If you’re heading into a stressful situation (like a long wait), bring headphones for music, an audiobook, or a physical book to escape into. At times, I like to bring a sweater for comfort when I know I am going to sit for a while.

    You are not alone in what you’re feeling. As the world shifts, so must our tools for grounding, healing, and navigating it all.

    Guard your peace!
