How To Establish a Conscious Relationship With Yourself

There is a much richer experience available to you than just building yet another productivity habit — When you feel angry for seemingly no reason, it’s not because you’re a bad person. More likely, it’s a reflection of your past experience. The same goes for jealousy, laziness, sluggishness, and all the other feelings that stop you from loving yourself. To really see this for yourself requires a…

The Comprehensive Guide To Increasing Self-Awareness on Your Own Terms

Building self-awareness resembles building a house. Here’s how to find the bricks, cement, tools, and architectural design to construct one that’s uniquely yours — Self-awareness is such a complex idea. We all want to improve it, but many find it hard to unpack the concept. What does it mean to be self-aware? Over the past few years, I’ve explored this question from many angles. At first, self-awareness seemed to be a primarily spiritual endeavor…

We Need Sharing Circles to Transform How We Communicate

When people sit in a circle, they can see what used to be hidden. — On the last Full Moon, I did it again. I know I shouldn’t have. The current limits on social gatherings are still quite strict. Yet, the promise of what we would create together was much greater than the perceived risk. (Note: Although the gathering was bigger than allowed, we did…

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…
