Did you know our brains are actually biologically wired to look for the bad in most situations?
Referred to by neuroscientists as the “Negativity Bias,” humans developed a greater sensitivity to gloomy news as a survival mechanism to cope with potential life-threatening dangers. Perfect for keeping ourselves safe from a grizzly bear in the vast, open mountains of Yellowstone National Park. Really damaging in a world that is constantly churning out a 24-hour cycle of bad news like CNN, Fox News, the internet and your mother.
Fortunately, it’s easy to trick our brains with simple, yet powerful techniques designed to intentionally rewire our brains for happiness and success.
The Wand in the Word is a fun and simple journaling experience designed to help us shape our personal journeys into the tonic our soul needs.
Journaling is a simple tool that improves not only our attitude and outlook but also our physical wellbeing. Crazy, but true! Check out the latest research on that here and here.
Learning to put your attention where it serves us best requires the same sort of deliberate practice necessary to build any new skill. Honestly, it’s a lot like exercise. It’s a muscle we have to build.
Using simple art supplies (seriously you can find most them in your kid’s backpack) to tune back into the wisdom Einstein and Rumi were so in touch with–the incredible power of our imaginations that can literally create beauty and magic everywhere we look.
As Duke Ellington once said,
“I merely took the energy it took to pout,
and wrote some blues.”
What a beautiful reminder that creativity is the magic wand that can help us transform anything into a thing of beauty. Whether it’s pain, sadness, frustration–or any other emotion–it’s all energy and once we make space for it to exist, we can reshape it into the tonic our soul needs.

I believe the way we live our life, is our greatest message to the world; that we are both the artist and the masterpiece of our time here on this earth. All of my work is anchored in the Three C’s of Creativity: Curiosity, Courage, and Compassion.
I share my own creative journey to live more from my heART and less from my head, in hopes it gives others permission to do the same. I’ve discovered that when I have the courage to show up to my life and trust that the universe is conspiring for my highest good, THAT’S when the magic happens. Every. Damn. Time.
