We all have nagging thoughts, some that are important and never to come again, others that are incessant and anxiety inducing, and some that are epiphanies that will change the direction of our life. When they all come together at the same time, they cause feelings of being overwhelmed, confused, mentally paralyzed, or stuck.

If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by a hurricane of thoughts, you’ve been in need of taking a brain dump.

What is a Brain Dump?

Thoughts tend to be abstract. They come in the form of movies, pictures, feelings, and words in varying shapes and sizes. Each thought we have has its…

If you’re feeling burned out and can’t stay productive, you’re not alone. Burn out is really common and there’s many things you can do about it.

Step 1. First test if you really are at your limit.

Do an activity that you can do mindlessly for hours and be full of enthusiasm.

Examples: Playing video games, talking to your BFF, scrolling on IG or Tiktok, etc.

If you’re so exhausted that you can’t even do the things you truly enjoy, then you have to accept that you are truly burned out.

In this case, go ahead and start resting and budgeting your time for self care. Otherwise go to Step 2.

Welcome to 2021, with the New Year come new injuries from new people doing new exercises.

Exercise

Calibrate and get clear where your strength is.

If your goal is to bulk up and you’re not sure about your current strength, start with “5x5”s where you do 5 sets of 5 reps. …

A Breakdown of the Human Body

I am grateful for my body and all the components within it. We are made up of intricate and complex systems in our bodies. Each a miracle within themselves.

I am sharing this to uplift and remind you of the things we take for granted everyday.

Digestive System

I am grateful for my digestive system. For all the delicious food it breaks down and turns into energy for me.

• Energy — It easily breaks down nutrients small enough for my body to absorb.
• Growth — It supports the growth of my body.

Limiting Beliefs

Limiting beliefs are invisible scripts that play in the back of our minds. They tend to show up when we are pushing our boundaries, trying to grow, or try to do the right thing.

Many people who are entrepreneurs, creators, or just trying to put themselves out there face imposter syndrome. I find that imposter syndrome is one of the loudest and relatable versions of invisible scripts.

It usually sounds something like, “who am I to be speaking on this topic?”, …

Journaling is a tool that has wildly and rapidly changed the course of my life. However, it has only served me this way after I started applying a specific approach to it.

I’m writing this article flipped. My template is below. Feel free to look at it, copy it, or extract whatever is meaningful to you immediately. I’ll explain more about it later for those who are curious about anything unclear. My introduction and decision making thoughts are at the end.

Importance of Social Distancing

COVID-19 is a serious pandemic and my intention is not to undermine it in anyway. Many mild cases are far from ‘mild’. Right now hospital beds are being saturated and tough decisions need to be made in the medical field. We must all be careful to not only keep ourselves safe, but also our loved ones, and our brothers and sisters in humanity.
