Time doesn’t exist; it’s a made-up construct in which we choose to live in and by. And that’s okay! I hear it now, “Meaghan, you are lying! I have meetings, practices, and obligations, all over my schedule! What do you mean, time doesn’t exist?” What I mean is that we can not give something 100% of our time, but we can give something 100% of our energy. The outcome of a one-hour gym session (for me) is vastly different following a rest/recovery day than it is on the 4th day s

Gratitude isn’t somthing we learn about in school, we aren’t formally taught about this emotion or attitude as a virtue or a habit. And definitely not how to cultivate it! Oftentimes, we rise in the morning, especially on Monday, and just groan because it’s Monday, or it’s early, or cold and then we just go go go! Whatever we do, we forget what a privilege it is to see another day. Gratitude isn’t somthing we learn about in school, we aren’t formally taught about this emotio

Our Words Are Powerful I saw a shooting star the other morning on my way to the gym, my knee-jerk reaction was to make a wish! When I began to wish for the thing I’ve always wished for, it occurred to me that this wish was likely giving life (subconsciously) to my depression. The saying, “becareful what you wish for” had ever felt so real before. Let me rewind, come back to 12-year-old Meaghan with me for a moment. When I was 12, I was diagnosed with melancholy depression. I

Post Mud Slide Selfie “Just do it. Whatever it is, do it. Stop dreading it, stop putting it off, stop feeding it through avoidance. Stop Negotiating With Yourself” Words I had to speak to myself this afternoon. I ran a Spartan Race this morning , and there was an obstacle that consisted of a ~4foot muddy hill we had to climb leading to about the same depth of cold water. There were 3 climbs and the last pit of water had a blow-up obstacle we had to duck/swim under to get out

In a world that is entangled in judgment, projections, mirrors, and reflections it is easy for our fate/crisis/incident/another person to be our scapegoat. I sent an email the other day and before doing so, I had to bring myself to awareness of my (own) shit. I work in a high volume, high dollar industry where one tiny mistake costs millions of dollars and I was responding to the ever-lasting question of “how could we have prevented this from happening?” The body of the email

Our roadblocks and current routine are not in the way, at all! They are stepping stones, we can choose to use our preexisting circumstances in our favor! If we step back and look at our entire days, as a 3rd party observers, we will begin to see nearly everything we do is a habit (or routine). Introducing a new habit can seem daunting when we are in the weeds and stepping back to look at our day from a birds-eye view, as an observer, will provide a new vantage point. Here i

A habit becomes powerful and accessible when we understand the importance of ALL things involved with the creation of said habit AND fall in love with the process of doing them. Habit Loop In conversation with my boyfriend, he was sharing with me how much he is enjoying the book he is currently reading: The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. He explained that the author expresses his teachings in a psychology-based yet relatable manner which allows him to better apply what he

When you replace the bargaining thoughts with reminders of why and being to depend on the source energy that initiated the decision, in due time, the desire to (unconsciously) negotiate disappears and the way we move becomes the default. One Sunday night at family dinner (I was still drinking alcohol so that’s how long ago I wrote this and didn’t share), I was asked, “Are you going to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow?” The question was legitimate, as I had been drinking and I was out
