By: Gabriela Yareliz I was watching Vanessa Fitzgerald’s stories as she was on a walk. She was explaining to those of us on the other side of the camera that she had felt sort of in a funk. She then said something along the lines of, “We always find something to blame, but I knewContinue reading “Ownership”

Experiments
“If you want to work on your art, work on your life.” Chekhov By: Gabriela Yareliz It has been burnout season for months for me thanks to a brutal and understaffed work environment (a tale for a different time!). I think that when we reach that point, we just sort of go through life inContinue reading “Experiments”
Community pH
“The most toxic relationships aren’t the purely negative ones. They’re the ones that are a mix of positive and negative.” Adam Grant By: Gabriela Yareliz Did you know that research shows that the relationships that affect our health the most aren’t the ones that are purely negative, but the ones that are close to usContinue reading “Community pH”
Yin
By: Gabriela Yareliz When life goes fast, often, the best thing we can do is go slow. When life is caffeinated and busy— you know that numb feeling that starts in your hands and goes up to your face— one of my favorite things to do is yin yoga. Really, it’s just a series ofContinue reading “Yin”
The Idea of Balance
By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep hearing about the idea of balance. Does it exist? Is it real? Most entrepreneurs say no. Most parents of young children say no. Some people who work 9-5 say yes. I guess balance (if it exists) rides the waves. I guess, though, if it comes in seasons that are sprinkledContinue reading “The Idea of Balance”
Winter Hydration PSA
By: Gabriela Yareliz This is your PSA to hydrate your eyes, this winter. We don’t often think about eye hydration, but boy do we feel the dryness in the winter. Here in the city, the salt that gets ground into powder on the streets blows into your face every time the wind blows. We slatherContinue reading “Winter Hydration PSA”
Sleep Is King
By: Gabriela Yareliz “There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.” Homer, The Odyssey I listen to a lot of health experts. The most recent one I listened to was Gary Brecka. His TSC Podcast episode was excellent. He mentioned that when a client comes to him, the firstContinue reading “Sleep Is King”
Baseline
By: Gabriela Yareliz We are often very intentional about how we speak to others. What we often forget is that the baseline that truly determines this and also our choices is how we speak to ourselves. When was the last time we reflected on how we speak to ourselves? Is it harsh? Is it kind?Continue reading “Baseline”
Pruning
By: Gabriela Yareliz One thing I am really bad at is pruning plants. I mean who prunes them when they grow in the wild, right? But apparently, animals do. They nibble at twigs and leaves, and the wind helps blow off what is dead. For household plants and garden plants, you must prune. And it’sContinue reading “Pruning”
Plan for the End
“I do not plan for the start of the year. I plan for the end.” Lauryn Bosstick I think Lauryn’s approach is the way we should do life. We envision what we want our lives to look like at the end, and then, we work backwards from there. Michael Bosstick, Lauryn’s husband, said on theirContinue reading “Plan for the End”
