Hi, reader! Abby here, I’m grateful to be the new Office Manager at 1N5. Thanks for spending some time on our blog. We are always becoming. It’s a beautiful reminder about our shared human experience, acknowledging that we are dynamic individuals; that we are malleable, we are impressionable, we are wildly adaptive, we are capable of transformation and growth. Allowing …
I am the first person to admit, I am an anxious driver. Negative self-talk and self-doubt popped up the instant I got in the driver’s seat from the moment I failed my first driving test at 16 years old. However, I couldn’t let my thoughts stop me from getting where I need to be. “Wow, I can’t believe how hard …
Hi! My name is Jami Pandorf and I am an intern at 1N5. I’m a senior at the University of Cincinnati studying Health Promotion and Education and I graduate this spring. You could say this is a stressful time as I navigate what my post grad life will look like. When I experience stress there are a couple different ways …
Hi, I’m Beth and I am the Operations Manager at 1N5. I’m a wife, mom, grandma, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and a dog-lover. I work and I play and sometimes I struggle with my mental health. As today’s 1N5 guest blogger, I’d like to share my self-care thoughts. Doofenschmirtz (AKA Doof) is my rescue pup but I’m not sure who …
I have to admit that I have a hard time slowing down and taking as good care of myself as I do of my family…even my dog! Productivity defined my worth for longer than I care to admit, so for me it’s a process, not a light switch, to slow down and ease into self-care. I aspire to one day …
We have to learn how to recognize our own emotional capacities. Sometimes, we have the capacity to take on more than other times. Right now, I recognize my emotional capacity is very low. I’m having a hard time keeping up with the most basic of daily tasks, and I definitely don’t have the emotional capacity to be there for others …
The past two weeks have felt unreal like I’m living in a nightmare and just can’t seem to wake up. Almost two weeks ago, my entire life changed in a matter of hours. Two Wednesdays ago, my grandparents’ house—which has been in our family for nearly 70 years—caught fire. I was bartending when I got the call. I thought it …
There will be times in our lives where we feel defeated. It might feel like we’re catching one bad break after another, and the negatives just won’t stop coming. In these moments, it might feel nearly impossible to keep holding onto hope and keep a positive attitude. At these times, though, staying positive is the most important thing you can …
With the New Year being so young, many people are still thinking of what they want out of 2022. This year, instead of having a whole list of resolutions that I would inevitably give up on by the end of the first month, I’ve decided to set intentions and small goals. We live in an unpredictable world, and so many …
Happy New Year, everyone! We made it a whole year, and I am so proud of each and every one of you. As we move forward into this new year, I want to take some time to reflect on the last one. 2021 was a very hard year—for a lot of people, not just me—but I’m looking at 2022 with …
