In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 14, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
You have beliefs about things that are not true. We all do. Let me explain. False beliefs, also referred to as limiting beliefs, are ideas we rigidly hold to be true. They affect our behavior, our attitude, even our moods. We pick up these false...

Create Souvenirs

In Inspiring & Encouraging  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 12, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
We leave things behind. We leave something where ever we go. We leave a little part of ourselves with every person with which we interact. Like souvenirs. That little thing – the smile, the encouraging word, the compliment, the observation, the point, the snarky comment,...

Nesting

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, April 7, 2024  •   Leave a Comment

You do not have to earn rest.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 20, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
We were taught that work came before play. We get our work done, then we can do the things we WANT to do. We have been conditioned to believe that “rest” means “lazy” somehow. Our pesky inner voice tells us that we should always be...

Selfish (In A Good Way) & Not Alone

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 6, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
When you embark upon a mission of self awareness, you have to get really selfish (in a good way). That was not easy for me. I give to people. I overextend myself to make other people happy. I worry and lose sleep to ensure what I’m doing for others...
