What I’ve found, that I am not sure would be obvious in a month of sobriety, is that the impact of this process, is exponential, that life can become not only tolerable, but legitimately joyful, and it just keeps getting better.
How a bespectacled Sam Lamott plans to resolve life’s most complicated issues.
With sounds bouncing off the rocks in every direction, the venue, and surrounding 700 acres, offer an immersive and awe-inspiring setting for your favorite musical acts. On our trip, we photographed deer and birds (and one random feral cat) as we awaited entry to Phoebe Bridgers show. For lovers of nature and music, there simply could not be a more beautiful place to lose yourself. (Spoiler alert: I cried twice.)
Maybe the problem is less about who we are and how we escape and more about the walls we try to contain ourselves within.
Tips for overcoming anxiety, introversion and overwhelm so you can say “Yes!” to doing more of the things you (actually) want to do.
Slow fashion meets community and connection at this California-based clothing store and cafe.
In conversation with soberIRL founder Karla Carolina on the power of connection in sobriety.
Between the setting and the breathtaking view, it’s difficult to leave here without a newfound sense of awe and wonder - a feeling we could all use, at the moment.
A cruelty-free clothing store that proves that shopping small and shopping ethically can make you feel good too.
Escapism is not the answer for so many reasons…except for when it is totally the answer, because everything is shit and sometimes you just need to feel better. This is not often the way forward, and hardly ever what we’d recommend, but sometimes a show comes along with the potential to make us feel so good, that we’re pretty sure it would be recommended by our therapists (or at the very least, our astrologists). In this case, Schitt’s Creek is that show.
Miyoko’s Creamer is making “doing good” feel very easy for the rest of us.
We’re still obsessed with Normal People and now we think we’ve figured out why.
This week we decided to pull together some of our favorite imaginary places (from TV shows, plays, movies and books.) We found that it was quite fun to imagine where we’d love to spend our time, if reality weren’t a confine.
Comedians are performing, children’s authors are reading their books, musicians are putting on concerts in their living rooms (!!) people are CONNECTING in any way that they can, all in the name of banding together to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. (I know it’s the internet, and social media at that, but there is a real beauty here and I hope it is not lost on us.)
My friends keep asking me: “How do you homeschool ALL the time?! I am going crazy!! What’s your secret?!”
To which I keep responding:“You do realize that ‘homeschooling’ is much harder in the midst of a global pandemic when we are all panicked and locked indoors, right? Have you considered just doing a completely mediocre job??”
We’ve put together a quick guide for how to maintain your mental wellbeing while social-distancing.
Our take on whether Disneyland is really “The Happiest Place on Earth”.
With meditation, not only are you taking a much-needed break from your thoughts, and the glorious internet, and whatever else is jockeying for attention in your life…but you’re also taking a few moments to devote yourself, fully, to your own wellness. A beautiful practice. (Your third-eye chakra is likely quivering at the mere mention of such an activity.)
