Your Pocket Guide to Authentic Relating

How to stop censoring your feelings and bring your full self into your relationships — What do you feel when you hear the word “authenticity”? Some people freak out. They think that to “be authentic” means to show your rawest feelings, whether or not you’re up for it. Other people cringe. “Authenticity” has become such an overused word in the personal growth niche. “Being your…

3 Hard Things I’ll Probably Never Stop Doing

Why you need to pick your challenges to stay sane — A few days ago, I jumped on Medium’s offer to get 50% off the annual membership. I stopped paying the subscription earlier this year when I was looking for ways to save money. But a year of reading for $25? No brainer. …

The Yin Way to Learn and Grow

My comeback piece after 8 months away from Medium — The last article I published on Medium, September 23, 2021, already felt forced. I wrote it after the memorable summer, when I decided to ditch the online writing career I’d been pursuing for four years and find a job. I was sick of writing articles to match headlines people would…

How to Hold Your First Personal Development Workshop Without Feeling Like a Fraud

Teaching what you need to learn can have immense value for the world — I recently came to terms with this: If you’re doing something for the first time, you won’t feel ready for it. That’s impossible. How can you feel confident about leading a workshop if you’ve never done it before? Confidence is an aftereffect of experience — not a prerequisite to it. …

Personal Growth Is the Art of Embracing the “Full Catastrophe”

True growth isn’t about trying to fit your experience into a narrowly defined box — When you decide to consciously pursue personal growth, you may eliminate things from your life. You get selective about your experience so you can better understand yourself. A smaller number of stimuli helps regain clarity. You engage in productivity systems by eliminating distractions. You cut out (or minimize) certain relationships…

Why People Love Travelers

My first tandem cycling tour reminded me about this — Both bloggers and travelers are storytellers. They just function in two different spaces. I’ve been both and let me tell you that people seem way fonder of the traveler type. As I recently crossed the UK on a tandem with M, I saw this as clearly as ever. During this…

Getting The COVID Vaccine Made Me Feel Like I’m Contaminated

Not getting it would have made me feel like I’m a selfish elitist — What do you do when you have no clue what to believe — and, you can’t see any way of deciding how to choose what to believe in? What do you do when, presented with two options, you have no idea which one will keep you safe? I know that…

5 Low-Stakes Relational Games To Deepen Connection With Your Loved Ones

Connecting deeply with those closest to us is often the hardest — here’s how to make it happen — Since I can remember, I craved more connection than I knew how to create. As a school kid, I considered myself shy and awkward. I was that geek you’d copy your homework from — but not have much fun hanging out with. The awkwardness continued through teenagehood and into my…

We Need Art More Than We Need “Content”

Yet, more people than ever focus on churning out the latter — I thought that being a content creator would grant me a life free from conformity. Ironically, it’s done the opposite. The concept of “creator” hints at the freedom of expression. But, when prefaced with “content,” that changes. Creating content, by definition, means filling up a pre-existing container. …
