You know what's kinda the worst? Second guessing whether your story, your wisdom, your life, is really worth telling. It's not as though I continuously get feedback that sounds like, "Geez, Jenna, shut up already", and yet I have allowed this little ticker tape to continue in my brain when I start to share my … Continue reading Self-worth, insights, and all the other things I worry about
The Journey
Gettin’ pensive in Autumn
Apparently, my strongest urges to write come in the fall. I went to my little WordPress app today, itching to express myself, and saw that most of my previous posts were published in September in previous years. Fall must be the source of my creation... Although, most of the years I've been blogging, I have … Continue reading Gettin’ pensive in Autumn
Why I always #optoutside
How often do you go outside and feel like you're outside? I mean really feel it. We walk from our home to our car and our car to our work and back again. Windows rolled up to make sure the AC or heater is safely stuck inside with us. From time to time we sit … Continue reading Why I always #optoutside
Choosing joy
I have been using this motto for well over a year now, and I know I've posted a bit about it. Every year or so I tend to give myself a focus-- I basically refuse to align these goals with New Years because I try to pretend I'm special and different from everyone else (let's be … Continue reading Choosing joy
I do what I want!
It's been quite a while since my last entry, and for probably good reasons--at least, that's what I keep telling myself. #justification So let's take a quick journey from September, shalth we? (I'm aware this is not a word, thank you!) I was a few months into a relationship in that post, and with the … Continue reading I do what I want!
Just a Few Waves.
I've been struggling lately. Thoughts of suicide permeating my thoughts, paired with an overwhelming sense of loneliness and brokenness. And I didn't want to live there any longer. While my brain doesn't process things "correctly", I wanted to take whatever steps I could to help get myself out of this rut. So I scurried off … Continue reading Just a Few Waves.
Build or Break: What do you choose?
Hello again! It's been much longer than I like between blogs, but its a manifestation of a greater issue I've been dealing with in the last few months: taking care of myself. I'm an overly sacrificial person. It's true. Putting others in front of myself comes naturally, but I don't do it in a healthy … Continue reading Build or Break: What do you choose?
#ilovemybuvvers
AJNA--Listen to your inner instruction. You are all the answers. My Lululemon mat has this quote at the top, always reminding me of the true goal of yoga; not to become a new person, per se, but to return to who I was created to be! Coming back to my mat, stripped of all the … Continue reading #ilovemybuvvers
The Yoga Challenge
Yoga challenges and yoga selfies are incredibly popular as of late. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you'll see I like to participate in monthly yoga challenges. I'm aware that I may have clogged your feeds with pictures of myself in various poses, and I apologize if that causes you any grief; however, … Continue reading The Yoga Challenge
Stillness
Sheesh, it's been a busy week. Classes, work, visiting old friends in Flagstaff, family time, working out, an amazing hike, and of course, some yoga. I won't pretend I've been a model yogi in this week. My reactivity flared up, eager to be annoyed by small things and passing comments. I was hurt, agitated, sad, and … Continue reading Stillness
