Control is overrated
I recently wrote about the vicious cycle of dieting, binge eating, and yoyo, that had its grip on me ever since I remember. I only managed to escape it when instead of trying to control what I eat, I started listening to my body and watching it react to different kinds of food. If you…

It is okay to fail. And it’s okay to be upset about it.
There’s only one thing that upsets me more than making a dumb mistake–making the same dumb mistake more than once. The first time I do something stupid it’s an opportunity to learn something new and avoid the same mistake in the future. If I do the same thing again, it’s just stupid. If it happens…

What if the goal was to let go of goals? – How facing the meaninglessness helped me get out of my own way.
