Hello, and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind. I recently had a realization of something that is a common thing touted in self-help, and I thought, why not talk about it? So today, we’re talking about the mindset shift behind thinking “What can you do?”

When I was younger, I didn’t really know what it meant to have regrets. I heard about people living with no regrets and it seemed…well, like something that was obvious. But since growing up and having an adult life of my own, it has seemed a lot more important.

If you’re someone who’s deeply passionate and invested in your life, you’ve probably thought about legacy a lot over the years. And yet, we’ve hardly ever discussed the topic on this site. So let’s break that silence, shall we?
Continue reading “How to leave a legacy”Embracing change in others (and yourself)
Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of change around me, in the world and within people that I know and care about. Some of it’s positive, and some I may be inclined to classify as negative, but if I’m being honest, most of it’s just neutral. And of course, as with most things that are just neutral, there is a lot to be examined. So let’s jump in and talk about it!

I’ve been meditating for a few years now, and I guess you could say I’ve fallen into certain habits. I don’t do it the same every time, but here are four ways that I’ve tried that work for me.

Hi! I’m Rebekah, if we haven’t met yet, and I’m so glad I get to meet you today. I run this website, the Thoughts that Bind, and I’m so lucky to have been able to do so for the past couple of years, in order to get to talk to people of all sorts, like you, right now.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind. Today, we’re talking about rest. Why we need it, and where to get it. So, let’s jump right in.

When I was 18, I got my first cell phone. I remember feeling so excited. Finally, I would be just like everyone else. People would be able to text me and I could go online to find answers to anything I wanted. If only I knew what having a phone would entail, I might’ve felt differently.

I’m a cautious person, by nature. I don’t want to do anything where there’s a high risk of failure or embarrassment (although all too often, I perceive those two as the same thing). And this manifests itself as a whole lot of waiting and preparation in my life. I don’t want to do something if I don’t know that I can do it well. And you might be thinking that I’m leading up to how horrible that is as a life strategy, and you’d be right, sort of. But it’s a broader idea that I’d like to expand on.
