2013 in Blogging

December 31, 2013 by Hillary 3 Comments

Happy New Year’s Eve! I’m still trying to grasp the fact that tomorrow we will meet 2014 — crazy!

This morning I woke up to an email in my inbox from WordPress: Your 2013 Year in Blogging. I completely forgot that WordPress provides individualized annual reports. They are schnazy, too, with images and links (stuff us bloggers appreciate).

As I was analyzing my annual statistics, my wheels started spinning as I reflected on my 4+ years of blogging. I am my own worst critic and am often hard on myself for not spitting out the content – quantity and quality – that I believe I can. I am guilty of comparing my blog to thousands of others on the Internet instead of focusing on the impact that Nutrition Nut does have on a few others.

When I get stuck in the comparison trap, I can remind myself that my blog’s readership has, in fact, grown each year and its potential to be something more is still tangible.

Here’s to ditching the comparison trap (in all areas) in 2014; to persisting to pursue my passions; to acting on my visions, and to enjoying the development of this space of mine on the web, enhanced greatly by your inspiration.

Thank YOU for making it a splendid year for this little blog.

Happy New Year!

    Such a genuine post. I’ve only been blogging for four months now & I’ve been guilty of comparing myself to others out there which is really silly! I always tell myself to focus on my own content more than others. Just be yourself and do it your way, it’s your blog after all. I really enjoyed reading this, it put a lot into perspective! Happy New Year!!!

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
