“Boston to Bermuda”
Have you ever considered going on a cruise from Boston to Bermuda but weren’t sure if it’s worth it? I had previously been avoiding this cruise despite the fact that Boston is the closest port to where I live. I have cruised to Bermuda before out of New York City on Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of…
Coming out of Survival Mode
I didn’t know that I was in a state of prolonged survival mode. I didn’t realize that I was normalizing all of the stressful stimuli in my life and that I was in a constant state of flight or fight. My stress response system was wreaking havoc on my body. I was gaining weight, struggling…
“The Power of Intention”
One of the most powerful things I have learned in my lifetime is to recognize the importance of intention. Asking myself why I do the things that I do has helped me to make better choices that align with my values. I’ve noticed that when I slow down and ask myself “what is your intention”…
“A Lost Traveler”
I can still remember the feeling that I had in the pit of my stomach on two of the last flights I took before the world shut down from Covid. The first one was on a flight from Boston to Ft. Lauderdale mid-February. Our flight was delayed due to a tropical storm in the south.…
“What’s your story?”
Your stories are the fabric of your life. What do they say about you? Is it what you want it to say about you? I think it’s important to remember that we are the creator of our individual story regardless of what circumstances life throws our way. How we respond to life, the decisions we…
“The Importance of Confidence”
What makes you feel confident? Is it when you are at your ideal weight, have a certain amount of money in the bank, job title, attractive partner by your side? Why do we need these things to have a positive attitude about our own skills and abilities? Shouldn’t we accept and trust ourselves with confidence…
“When will things return to normal?”
This is a question we all have asked ourselves – consciously or unconsciously. There is surely a communal longing to feel a sense of safety and normalcy again. When will we be able to greet someone without awkward hesitation? When will we be able to travel without fear of judgment from others? When will we…
“Ordinary Moments”
Watching movies that were filmed “pre-pandemic” puts into perspective the ordinary moments that we take for granted. Scenes from packed bars and restaurants, crowded sporting events, large family gatherings, and bustling city streets with no one wearing a mask makes us all move a little in our seats as this has been embedded in us…
“Escaping the winter blues”
I used to avoid traveling in the winter months. I didn’t think it was worth the headaches associated with the unpredictable New England weather. All it takes is a good “nor’easter” to ground air travel for days. I thought winter months were best for playing catch up on bills and work, but after seeing enticing…
“What does it mean to show up for yourself?”
This is a question I find myself pondering a good amount. It’s a term that has become quite trendy these days, but what does it really mean? As I cope through stress, I find myself pouring that extra glass of wine (that I really don’t want), fighting with myself not to pull in to Dunkin…
