Find Inner Peace By Living The Questions

June 11, 2020 jennmchoi

With the current events and the uncertain mood of the world, some of you may be asking:

How can I find inner peace?
How do I quiet the constant inner chatter of my mind?

I just want to live the questions.

Rather than fret about the future, or try to find the answers for everything, I just want to relax and accept that I will never know all the answers.

I Will Not Be Silent

June 9, 2020 jennmchoi

I was safe in a cocoon when the metamorphosis happened. Lying on my couch, underneath the soft gray fleece blanket, I silently cried.

Rachel's soothing voice came through my earphones. "Release. Many of you here tonight are lightworkers. You have been absorbing things from the collective that are not yours. You can release."

As the gong's sound waves reached the shores of my ear drums and reverberated throughout my body I let out a silent scream.

For many of us, the days are starting to blur as our work and personal lives mesh together into a giant gray lump during this pandemic.

Suddenly we are glued to our screens now more than ever, find it hard to ignore work emails even late at night, feel guilty when we can’t spend enough quality time with our loved ones, and drown in the overwhelm of COVID-19 news. And oh yeah, exercise...what’s

How to Say No Nicely

April 28, 2020 jennmchoi

There are a lot of things going on in the world right now. And some of us may feel the pressure that we need to do more. More to help others, more in our careers, more in our families, more in our homes…cook more, clean more, post more, work out more, heck, even Netflix more!

A lot of different people are doing a lot of different things, but that doesn’t mean that YOU have to.…

Announcing The Real Human Newsletter

April 11, 2020 jennmchoi

Dear Humans,

As part of my mission to bring love and light to you in dark times, I’ve created the Real Human newsletter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It will be a regular source of inspiration and life tips, gathered and written with love. My goal is to publish weekly. Why? Because the world is changing so quickly, and I want to help people like you find a sense of normalcy. At a time when anxiety and stress are rising weekly, I felt the calling to match my efforts to bring light to keep pace.

100 Real Human Lessons Begins!

April 7, 2020 jennmchoi

Dear Humans, I’m overjoyed (and admittedly nervous) to announce that for the next 100 days, I’ll be sharing #100realhumanlessons with you!

As some of you may know, my biggest dream is to publish a memoir. I started writing it last year, but took a break because it was too painful for me then to revisit the death of my parents. At the same time, I wasn’t clear enough on my Why.

BBC Radio Interview: Virtual Hang Outs

March 20, 2020 jennmchoi

I was interviewed by BBC Radio yesterday to share some very quick thoughts on the rise of Virtual Hang Outs during these uncertain times.

The segment on Virtual Hang Outs starts at 14:20 and ends at 18:56 in this BBC recording. Other fellow interviewees in the segment shared how they were providing music and laughter online.
