Introversion vs Anxiety

Man, the holiday season is upon us. Dun Dun DUUUUUUN. Ok, a little dramatic. But for those of us introverts and ones who have anxiety this time of year is a gauntlet.

With all the extra obligations and responsibilities from friends, family, and work we need to guard ourselves. Strictly scheduling out time with people and time for ourselves. On top of that, any time you get with big groups a people there will be anxiety. Worrying about what people will say, what you will say, whether or not you're dating/getting married/pregnant/having another kid/ etc can raise your blood pressure.

Organizing for the Non-Type A

Hey, we all got a lot of things going on in our lives. From all your family and friends, home, and everything in-between. It can all get crazy trying to remember everything. Especially when you have to do it with other very unorganized people.

Don’t get me wrong, all of this can be very fun and exciting. But if you start missing import things, or at least forgetting until the last second then its nerve racking. And no one wants to feel that all the time.

It’s never too late to learn a new language, travel to a new corner of the world, or switching up your art supplies of choice.

Finding Your Footing: An Introvert's Journey Through Career Building

We all see the people who seem to have the perfect life, the instant success, or the perfect family. But deep down, we know the perfect life isn’t real or attainable.

All we’re seeing when we look at Instagram or Facebook is a highlight reel, but life is lived behind-the-scenes. You don’t see the years of work, sleepless nights, or weekends when you don’t even shower.

3 Reasons Why To Let Go of Toxicity In Your Life

We all seem to hold onto more than we can handle. This can be everything from possessions to people to emotions. It’s in our DNA and reinforced by our society.

You may not realize it, but maybe you’ve felt obligated to hold onto things that do nothing for you.

9 Real Benefits of Hugging

Happy National Hugging Day, friends!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t give or get enough hugs in my everyday life. I know, I know. I’m from Minnesota so aren’t we all natural-born huggers?

Not quite. Maybe it’s because my family isn’t necessarily “touchy-feely”, or maybe it’s because I save most of my affection for my dog.
