Passover-Themed Positive Affirmations

April 5, 2023April 5, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I let go of what no longer serves me. I can overcome adversity. I can get to the other side, no matter how deep the issue, if I but take a step. I release the attachments and interpretations of my ego. I am worthy simply as I am. And now for a funny one… Life … Continue reading Passover-Themed Positive Affirmations

Those Rainy Days

February 21, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Rainy day here in Atlanta. Not sure what your weather is like. But speaking of rainy days, you know those scenes in TV and movies where there is a somber event occurring and they pair it with a rainstorm? I’m recalling one scene from Friends with Joey sitting by a window, looking out, with the heavy rain … Continue reading Those Rainy Days

What is “Keeping Up?”

March 7, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I recently wrote a poem called “If you can’t keep up maybe you’re not supposed to.” Sometimes one can’t keep up with the fast pace and demands of life. Other times, on the outside they’re doing well, but inside they’re struggling—having to shunt their emotional life aside in order to keep up. The following article … Continue reading What is “Keeping Up?”

Thoughts Fill the Container of Our Mind

November 22, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

They say water, or any liquid for that matter, takes the form of the container it resides in. Thoughts are infinite. And if we think of thoughts like water, they can easily fill up our mind, and take the form of our mind. It’s no wonder we identify so much with them! Mindfulness meditation is … Continue reading Thoughts Fill the Container of Our Mind

The Rain in Pain is Anything But Plain

July 7, 2021July 6, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

Sometimes it’s Kelly Clarkson, other times it's My Fair Lady. Taylor Swift had an interview once where she said she was afraid that when she was in a happy relationship she wouldn’t be able to write about break-ups anymore, which has always been her jam. When I heard this I immediately disagreed. Once we are … Continue reading The Rain in Pain is Anything But Plain

When Things Take Time

May 25, 2021May 12, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I heard someone on the radio ask recently, "Why in 2021 do we still wait 20 minutes for our oven to warm up?!" My response was, "Cmon!— We need something to remind us to slow down. I mean I don’t like waiting but then again the present is where reality is. It’s how we access … Continue reading When Things Take Time

Greater Self-Awareness in Stepping Back

April 3, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ 2 Comments

I watched a video about low self-esteem recently by psychiatrist Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski and it made me realize how my low self-esteem is for sure a real thing—even if there's no official diagnosis for it. And I've been more aware recently of how much I need external validation to fill the internal void inside … Continue reading Greater Self-Awareness in Stepping Back

Tuning In: One’s Inner State

April 1, 2020March 30, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I like connecting with others and am eager to understand them and what they are going through. This empathy with others is sometimes at the expense of empathy with myself. There are times when my interest in others is purely my caring, good-natured spirit, and there are other times, when, subconsciously, I am seeking to … Continue reading Tuning In: One’s Inner State

Filling Your Cup in the Morning

March 31, 2020March 30, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I remember first seeing Richard Carlson's book "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff..." and how he said he would wake up at 5:00 in the morning before the rest of his family so that he could relax, meditate, and just be with himself. I saw this about 10 years ago, way before I was married, and … Continue reading Filling Your Cup in the Morning
