Last Updated on October 7, 2022 by Alex How do you change everything to transform your life? First, create a vision of the life you want, and the person you want to be. Second, ask yourself how much you are willing to change in order to have the life you envision. Ask yourself if you are willing to move to a new city, state or even country.

12 Ways to Smash It While Stuck Indoors
Last Updated on June 22, 2022 by Alex I hated being locked down, and locked in. Then I began to love it. Wait. No. But I’ve come to appreciate it. What changed: pushing through the discontent and moving my life forward in ways that are actually available to me. Since we’re going to spend this time largely indoors, often in our heads, and we can make the most of it. We may as well. I admit, it isn’t always easy. We live in a downtown apartment.
