It’s no surprise that we are living in a time and space where were are a little too plugged in. Everywhere you look people are on their phones and on their computers. Like you, reading this, right now. But don’t shut ‘er down just yet.

Let’s explore the 4 ways that being plugged in is killing your creative vibe

and help move you towards getting that mojo back along with a little peace and maybe even some inspiration.

Have you ever cried over a haircut knowing it was totally ridiculous that you were crying about something like that? Yeah, me too. In fact, that's exactly what happened to me last week.

Now, in my old life I'd just cry it out and accept how I felt and moved on with it. But that wouldn't really serve either of us now would it? (nope).

That's why I'm talking all about non-attachment in today's video.

It’s that time of year once again. The time we all say how much this passed year sucked and how ah-ma-zing this next year will be. Helloooo expectations!

I mean, we all know how this plays out by now, right?

We proclaim huge goals whether they be physical, financial, career oriented - whatever. We state them loud and clear to the world. Jan 1-8 we are ROCKING AND ROLLING. Then… Life. A job. A weekend away.

Things happen and 3 months down the road we’re left with nothing but that glimmer of an idea we once had to be better, to do more, to be more.

Instead of having that dream life we created for ourselves on Dec. 31, we’re left with the guilt of letting it go and many times the shame that comes along with telling everyone we know how we’re going to xyz in [insert year here].

There is a lot going on in the world right now - a lot. It’s both shocking and emotionally overwhelming, no matter the cause. And the truth is, posting about sending love, prayers and energy is nice, but it doesn’t do shit. So I’m calling us all out on it. Because I’m mad AF and I’m sick of all the touchy feely bullshit that does nothing to create change.

Feeling bad about something isn't enough.

This past week has been one of the most bizarre, surreal experiences of my life. As the world looked on, Hurricane Irma slowly crept her way up through the Caribbean, causing massive destruction (including over 90% of the island of Barbuda), threatening to make a direct hit on my home of St. Petersburg, FL. 

Late in the night on Wednesday September 6th, we decided to evacuate. We weren't sure what was going to happen, but one thing I did know for sure was that the risk of staying was way higher than the cost of us leaving.

For anyone who thinks "it's too late" I want you to take a good look at the life of Louise Hay, who we lost at 90 years old on August 30th. 

Even if you think you're not familiar with Louis' work, I'll bet you actually are and you don't even know it.

Ever hear of positive affirmations? Yup, that was Louise. 

How about healing your body with your mind? Yup, that was her too. 

You know the theories on your thoughts becoming your reality? Yup, that was literally her jam (and her bread and butter too)

Can I just be honest and say how much I wish I could have a croissant every morning? I mean I could, but my body wouldn't like it. I digress...

Whether your morning meal is a croissant, a fruit parfait or a cliff bar on the go, you can do this practice. 

Taking leaps is scary. Going after something you want so badly you can't imagine yourself actually getting it is terrifying. 

Going outside your comfort zone sucks.

Even still, there's a lot to be said about stretching yourself that far, about seeing the storm ahead, putting on your raincoat, and riding it out.
