Mindful Breathing & Mind Gaps: Day 3 of My Mindfulness Journey
On Day 3 of my mindfulness journey in San Angelo, Texas, I’m learning to create “mind gaps”—intentional pauses to notice where my mind wanders. Through gentle breathing exercises and journaling every thought, I’m discovering the power of naming my worries, letting them go, and making space for presence and self-compassion—even on the busiest days.
Ending the Day with Peace: Setting Intentions for Gentle Accomplishment
After a long season of feeling lost, I’m learning to honor gentle routines—like a morning skincare ritual, a cup of coffee in the desert light, and small wins that help me feel more like myself. Each day, I set intentions for peaceful accomplishment, reminding myself that even the smallest acts of self-care and kindness are worth celebrating. This is my journey to finding presence, hope, and enoughness, one mindful morning at a time.
Productivity with Heart: How I Manage My Energy as a Neurodivergent Creator
Productivity isn’t about running at full speed all the time—it’s about listening to your body, honoring your season, and building a life that works with you, not against you. As a neurodivergent military spouse and creator, I’ve learned to embrace rest, flexible routines, and systems that support my energy (like timers, breaks, and Notion). Whether I’m batch-creating on my best days or giving myself grace on the tough ones, I know my dreams will wait for me. If you’re navigating similar ups and downs, know this: you’re not alone, and it’s okay to take breaks.
