Living by Light
Living by Light Whenever I’m camping, I fall into the rhythm of sunset and sunrise. The natural bedtime grows in the space allowed by putting my phone to bed and listening to the chatter of the wild. As sleep settles in a rhythm, the waking follows with ease, carried on the glow of sunrise. …
Dead Tired, Avoiding Sleep (Tinnitus Journal)
Dead Tired, Avoiding Sleep (Tinnitus at Bedtime) From Coach Morgan’s Tinnitus Journal, Written November 10, 2021 I don’t talk about my tinnitus a lot in this blog. Mostly because I’m still trying not to think about it. As my audiologist says, “if you think about your tinnitus, you’ve already lost.” (No really, he…
Finding Your Purpose for the Year
Figuring Out Your Purpose for the Year One of my favorite questions to ask friends this time of year is “what do you think next year is for?” To be fair, it’s a tough question to answer, rude of me to ask it. But just because it can feel like an impossible question to…
Selecting Your Next Goal
Selecting Next Year’s Goals As December arrives I always start interviewing new habits, goals, and skills to see what I will reach for in the new year. Some years I do it with angst, urgency, and desperation. Usually when that happens, I’m feeling behind, or worried that I’m not really getting anywhere in my life.…
Later Hunting
What We’ve Been Putting Off Even without pandemic pressures, “Laters” tend to pile up. Some laters are the usual… need to schedule the dentist, time to change the oil in the car, must get out to visit family members we haven’t seen in too long. But laters also include things like stopping at the farmer’s…
Don’t Let Your Year-End Review Get Heavy
I think it’s because reflection is so valuable that we often fail to do it. In our desperate need for fresh insights, new motivation, and a sense of accomplishment, the reflection process looms larger than life. And if asking questions about our recent past begins to feel heavy, we delay doing it until we can…
Go Get Your Silence
A Moment of Silence I had a second of silence this week. Lately my ears ring constantly, but for an instant, the roar of tinnitus blinked. It’s only happened twice in the last 358 days. But it wasn’t guaranteed to happen at all. The doctors don’t know why I’m suddenly super sensitive to sound, or…
Use Your Body To Clear Your Mind
A Body-First Approach to Responding to Stress This week I’ve been thinking about the mind/body connections of stress, anxiety, and negative emotions. When emotional triggers pop up in life, one of the most effective things we can do is to give ourselves space by interrupting our physical stress response. It’s nice when we can interrupt…

Defeat Distraction + Timewasters Using “Disinvestment”
Defeat Distraction + Time Wasting Using Disinvestment We all do things we know aren’t valuable. Whether we call them time wasters, downtime, or addictions; time we desperately need gets lost in predictable ways every week. My friends and I have noticed something called “phone time” has gobbled up our spare minutes. Things like scrolling…
