The Art Of Surrender: Trading In Your Perfect Performance For Present Peace. [Chapter 1] Joyful laughs, satisfied faces from the holiday meal, sultry jazz tunes in the background, and only the remnants of pumpkin pie crumbs left in the cracks of the wooden table. Thanksgiving night was coming to a close, all the goodbye hugs [...]

Tight chest. Quick breath. Racing thoughts. I didn't understand why I was feeling this way - it was what seemed to be a perfect Tuesday morning. The sun peeking through the trees, a cozy heated blanket, cute ceramic blue coffee mug in hand, fire place flickering, and my bible on the coffee table ready to [...]
![How Do I Figure Out God’s Will? [Practical Steps To Have Discernment]](https://wellnesswateredcom.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/snapseed.jpg?w=720)
Picture this: your average "millenial aged" woman who grew up going to church on Sunday, bible study during the week, and Wednesday night worship service. You'd imagine one would be quite the spiritual gangster - with all the right answers and total peace over where she's headed... right? Completely immune to all teen and twenties [...]
You know what it’s like. Having that friend who can eat taco bell, drink vanilla bean frappuccunios and snack on gummy worms all day but STILL has washboard abs year-round. Meanwhile you work hard to stay in shape, eat right, not too much and make an effort to workout (sometimes) but for some reason, you never look like her. I used to do the EXACT same thing for years - until I learned the holy grail of what it actually means to listen to MY body.
[Hint: It has something to do with Surrender] It was one of those weeks…. The one where all you see are you flaws and all the ways your life could be better. You see your premature aging wrinkles coming through, feel the extra squish between your thighs, obsess over your frayed split ends, and how [...]
![What I’ve Learned from Unemployment [To The Girl Who Finds Her Worth In Her Job]](https://wellnesswateredcom.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/img_4139.jpg?w=720)
Man, do I love a good ol pity party. It's really a specialty of mine. So much so that I've thought about adding it to my resume in times of unemployed desperation: "Self-proclaimed 'woe is me' expert. 24 years of hands-on self pity experience." When I envisioned my "dream career" all I saw were stilettos, [...]

Okay... full transparency moment here: I've been writing this same post for a solid 3 weeks now.
And I've literally found every reason in the world not to finish it.
So I am bound and determined to finish this dang thing - because the irony of it is, I'm self sabotaging writing this post.
And it's all because of perfectionism & unrealistic expectations.
I feel unqualified to speak on something I still struggle with: Self Sabotage.
I mean, who doesn't love a good "come-back" story? There's nothing that will give you goose-bumps like hearing about someone who was dead in their sins and idols, being transformed by grace and using their past idols as a platform for Christ. And that's where Jessica comes in. So, Jessica is a Christian food/health blogger [...]
![Why I Keep Failing – [I Know You Can Relate]](https://wellnesswateredcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/img_0182.jpg?w=720)
We hiked up our favorite mountain and I haven't felt worthless like that in years… I was completely dead. What used to feel like a cake walk, now was like trudging through sinking sand. All those years of track, half marathons & Spartan races - felt completely nonexistent. I knew that in the past so [...]

I know you can agree that there’s nothing better than a glass of vino or a box of thin-mints after a bad day... am I right? Turning on the Bachelor while tuning out the world. Just you, drama filled TV, and delectable sugar laden cookies. That first cookie: ahhhh, pure bliss. And that first glass of [...]
Have you ever had a passion that you started, went all out in the beginning, only to end up failing miserably? I recently chatted with Hanha, a Christian blogger who tells her story about how she finally started to see success once she let go of her control, took a step back for a while, and [...]

photo: toneitup.com I can practically smell it now…. The turkey roasting for hours, pumpkin pie being baked, and hot sourdough rolls fresh out of the oven. When Thanksgiving comes around, it’s almost like it’s a hidden rule that you wear your stretchy jeans and a big sweater because you just know it’s about to go [...]
