26 Going on 66: Notes on January
I have always been a restless sleeper. Friends and lovers alike have commented on my…active sleeping style. I feel a sense of kinship when I watch either of my cats knead and circle their beds for 20–30 minutes before curling up for sleep. I usually start on my left side, then try my right, perhaps lay on my back fully, or maybe go stomach down and left leg at 90 degrees? Regardless, peaceful sleep? She hasn’t been around for a few years. I have tried everything I know of lavender satchels, l...

A Mindful Reflection Beats Any Comprehensive Annual Review
Will you end this year frustrated, or with insights? Most people stress at the end of the year, thinking about all the projects they haven’t completed. All the targets they missed. I’ve been there. Because, honestly, my life’s not been great. Quitting my tenured lecturer job, dealing with the end to my marriage, and ditching my self-help book to start a different one — all these could have been reasons to beat myself up. But if you only focus on the failures of the last 12 months, you’ll end ...

Despite setting SMART goals, I’ve caught myself disconnecting from my emotions, resorting to mindless scrolling through social media or freezing in place. Reflecting on the ...
