The Personal Journey Starts With Self-Care

August 13, 2019 By Uncoveries

self-care

When I think back on what’s made the biggest difference in my personal journey over the past decade, I realized it had to do with prioritizing self-care.

It began with focusing on what I needed for my personal definition of self-care.

Prioritizing the things that nourished my body, mind and spirit. From the little things like reading a book, making time for exercise, honing my daily routines, experimenting with ways to make my life better and paying more attention to how I look and feel. To the more complex behavior and mindset shifts such as feeling more confident, taking more risks and knowing my worth.

It didn’t feel natural at first… it felt awkward, indulgent, and inconvenient.

Why Dreams Stay Dreams

Why Dreams Stay Dreams

There’s one reason why dreams stay dreams for many of us.

And it’s not because of fear.

I used to think it was fear. If you had asked me five years ago, that’s what I would have answered.

On Full-time vs. Working For Yourself

October 1, 2018 By Uncoveries

Fulltime vs working for yourself

This year has been a reminder that working for yourself is both wonderful and incredibly challenging at the same time. The comparison between full-time vs working for yourself isn’t what some people make it out to be.

Simply put, there are pros and cons for each. It’s why I went back full-time a couple years ago and was happy to do so at the time. I’ve said before, embarking on an entrepreneurial venture isn’t for everyone; it’s a choice with its fair share of ups and downs. And it’s why either my husband or I may choose to go back into a full-time role at some point in the future.

My Answer To Your Million-Dollar Question

May 29, 2018 By Uncoveries

Million-Dollar Question

It’s an interesting shift when people see that what you’ve spent years building up to is beginning to pay off. They start asking about it, and then ultimately ask for your answer to the million-dollar question.

My husband and I have spent the past several months in Arizona and are now back in Minneapolis. As a few friends have put it, we are basically young “snow birds,” except as I point out every time, we are not “retired” and very much still need to work to make money. We’ve managed to make enough to spend the mild winter in Arizona and the summer in beautiful, green Minnesota this year.

The questions are generally around “So what do you guys actually do?” to “Is it really for real?” and “So, how do you make enough money?” They may not ask in those exact words, but that’s really what they’re asking. As if these questions are something that can be covered in casual, passing conversation.

7 Ways To Strengthen Mental Fitness

April 27, 2018 By Uncoveries

mental fitness

From reflecting on past years of new beginnings, endings, adventures, challenges and leaps—and experiencing a range of the good and bad—it’s struck me just how important a healthy level of mental fitness is.

What I mean by mental fitness is a combination of resiliency, determination and belief in one’s ability to figure out life’s challenges.

Just like physical fitness, mental fitness is at its best when it’s exercised, developed and strengthened.

7 Reasons To Take A Sabbatical

7 Reasons To Take A Sabbatical

To take a sabbatical or not to take a sabbatical—that is the question.

Taking a sabbatical may seem like a scary idea, one full of emptiness and the unknown. It can feel like a precarious venture, as most sabbaticals are periods of time without much inflow of income, stability and the other niceties that come with a full-time job and the regular day-to-day.

Yet the idea of a sabbatical is also exciting. It sparks dreams of exploration, adventure, and leaving the old behind. There’s a sense of intrigue that simply won’t shake itself, despite your best efforts to remain grounded.

Having taken a sabbatical myself, I know how scary it can be. I also know from retrospect that I’d absolutely recommend it.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. – Henry David Thoreau

January 24, 2018 By Uncoveries

Trust In Your Dreams

The time it takes to trust in your dreams can take awhile. At least that was the case for me.

Especially when you’re the type of person who wants to know what to expect; someone who’s a planner and aspiring foreseer like me.
