THIS is what makes me come alive. Music, good friends, wine and REAL. It’s water to my soul and it helps me gain #perspective, as my dear friend said so perfectly tonight.

What do you need to keep your perspective in check, dear one? When we make time for the things that water our souls and keep us excited and motivated, we live a more abundant life.

I’m all about the joy and abundance amidst the busy, amidst and chaos and amidst the routine. I’m all about making the time for sunshine.

I’m sending you a cheer kick and lots of love as you let your needs speak to you and tell you what moves you can make to live more energetically and more joyfully.

Here’s to music, friendship, joy and LIFE!

SOME is better than none. This is one of my most significant mottos both personally and as a therapist. So often, our #allornothing mindset can paralyze us because we think, “if I can’t do a full workout, I just can’t do it at all.” Another statement I often hear is, “if I can’t do it the right way, I just don’t even try because perfect feels way too hard.”

Hi, I’m Lindsay and I’m a recovering perfectionist. I am continually reminding myself that #someisbetterthannone, whether it be a 7 minute workout, a 45 minute meet up with a friend or squeezing in an essential oils bath late at night before bed.  When I get out of my own way and #justdoit, even if it’s something SMALL, it leaves me feeling better because I took an action step. That action step leads me closer to my goal - or need - or dream. And then it gains some momentum and brings me a little closer to where I want to be.

When I remember that I always have #choices, my life becomes brighter, lighter and more #empowered. Wholehearted life begins when I exercise my choices and when I get out of my own perfectionistic way. And this is where we truly practice living true to ourselves.What tools do you use when perfectionism seeks to steal life from you?

I wish you all the juju as you take a step in the direction of your dreams - even if it be small. Because SOME IS BETTER THAN NONE. #youvegotthis #tiuteam
