The Beginnings
Hi, my name is Emma! I am the voice behind MODMIND!
To tell the truth, I started this blog after feeling a looming dissatisfaction in my life. Whether it was a failed interview or finally landing the gig. I sat questioning "Why do I still feel unheard? Where is my voice needed? " After some meditation, I decided to put this piece of myself in my own hands.
Through my reflection I had began to appreciate my lifelong fascination of the world. I always find profound appreciation for all of its wonders. And what made it even more rewarding was to share and learn about the world with others. This passion was the one commonality between everything I had pursued in my life - it had made me feel more connected to myself, the world, and to the universe.
What I had found is there is no job titled needed to pursue that. All I needed was to explore and use this voice I have, trust in my own power and influence. Suddenly, with this idea, life became more meaningful to me. This freedom from the restraints of a needing a "title" to speak, release from the fear of being unheard, allowed me to simply put my voice out into the universe and embark on my own personal journey.
MODMIND was built to not just be a lifestyle blog, but to eventually encourage online community, or Sangha. A resource encouraging creativity, curiosity, community; and of course, mindfulness!
The universe has a unique way of guiding its creations, and that can appear in many unexpected ways; you just need to observe and listen. This is why the diverse curation of information and stories here all have one thing in common, they generate a sense of mindfulness and intention in your actions.
I know many on this journey do not know where to start, or maybe aren't even ready to dive into a "mindful lifestyle". Yet, I promise, although it is not a linear journey, it can be a simple one. The MODMIND lifestyle is about embracing yourself instead of changing yourself. Just as the moon beautifully and gracefully cycles through light and dark, you too are encouraged to find pride and comfort in yourself here - no matter what phase you are in!
