The world seems to be continually getting worse. You could definitely say that environmentally, politically, and socially we are facing great (often existential) challenges that sometimes make the things we do day to day seem meaningless. It is easy to feel helpless, especially in a world that seems like all the most evil people are the ones who are winning. (Or maybe you're not feeling like this, in which case, please tell me how you do it?) I’ve spent a lot of time reflec

There’s something about stepping away from your usual life that can feel a little rebellious. You leave the laundry, the emails, the grocery list, and the calendar that somehow has more commitments than actual empty space. You put your phone down for a little longer than usual and suddenly realize that nobody actually needs you every five minutes. And for a moment, you can breathe.

Life can get busy in ways we don't always notice. Between work, family, responsibilities, and the endless list of things that need our attention, it's easy to keep moving without ever really stopping to check in to see if the direction we're going is the direction we want. We get used to pushing through. We tell ourselves we'll rest when things calm down, take that trip when we have more time, or focus on ourselves when everything else is taken care of.

There’s a particular kind of stuck that can be hard to explain. You’re not necessarily unhappy, and you may even have a life that looks pretty good from the outside, but something feels... stagnant. You keep thinking about making a change, taking the class, going somewhere new, starting the project, meeting new people, trying a different kind of movement, or simply saying yes to something you normally wouldn’t. And yet, somehow, you keep finding yourself back in the same plac
