mindfulness – Nicole Herron Writes

Sage continued her theme of Trust in this month’s Red Thread circle. I had accidentally scheduled a lunch for work that overlapped with the circle, but I really didn’t want to miss out. Usually, Red Thread ends up being a CSB page. So, I thought I’d be able to get the journal prompts, then work…

I know I’m not the only person that has a hard time saying “no” when people ask for help. It’s fine when you’re only asked occasionally, or the responsibilities are spread out. But when they all pile together at once, it’s an overload. Just some of the responsibilities I’ve taken on recently: And that’s not…

It’s been a while since I last did a Wellness Wednesday post, so I thought I’d give a bit of an update. I’ve been on Zoloft (Sertraline) for a year and a half. I visit with the prescribing psychiatrist virtually every 3 months for a new refill. I haven’t seen a therapist in over a…

I had big plans for myself yesterday. Given the freedom to leave my house without begging for a ride, I planned to do *ALL THE THINGS* that I’d not been able to do over the last month. I should know better. You’d think I would have learned a long time ago not to rush recovery.…

It’s been awhile since I last did a Wellness Wednesday. I thought it would be a good idea to check in on myself. So how am I *right now*? I’m okay, actually. I have a lot going on and I could easily cross over into overwhelmed (and probably will later today), but at the moment…

It’s Wednesday! Time to check in. How are you this week? Hanging in there? Last week was so crazy busy that all I could think was “I can’t wait for next week when everything will slow down!” Here we are in “next week” and I’m still waiting for it to slow down. Actually, that’s unfair.…

I’ve written on my story 9 days in a row. I haven’t written a LOT each day, but at least I’ve written something. I was planning to write this morning between dropping the kids off at school and going to water aerobics, but for some reason I’m just not feeling it. I think maybe my…

It’s November! How is it that time can feel like it’s moving so fast and so slow at the same time? I’ve decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year, but with less emphasis on word count and more on spending time with my characters each day. Later today I have an appointment to write “with”…

It’s Wednesday again! Time to check in with myself. Monday I had an appointment with the doctor that prescribes my Zoloft. I told her that I really feel like the medicine is helping a lot. I explained that several difficult things have happened the last few months, but I’ve handled them pretty well. I pointed…
