Anxiety and depression can be debilitating at times. It can drain us completely of energy, make us feel bad about ourselves, and most importantly it can drive us to new heights of insane. Trust me I’ve been there and find myself traveling to this dark and lonely place more times than I’d like to admit.

I have major, major anxiety and it’s a battle that I deal with on a daily basis. Something I have noticed over the years is if I don’t take the time to care for myself when I’m feeling extremely anxious, it intensifies. When my anxiety is going out of control if I don’t engage in some form of self-care, depression will slowly begin to creep in. when depression creeps in, I’m glued to my bed for at least a week…

And that’s not good let alone fun.

All this to say that self-care is very, very important. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you live, whether or not you have depression or suffer from anxiety, it’s a part of our health and wellness that needs to be a priority in our lives. If you can relate to what it feels like to be overwhelmed anxiety or depression, then you’ve come to the right place. I’m going to share with you some effective ways to manage your depression.

You don’t always have to rely on medication or therapy to make yourself feel better. Sometimes the best medicine is how you choose to care for yourself in a positive and healthy way. If you would like to know more I’ve got a unique list of self-care activities that are sure to help you with managing your depression. [Read more…]

Stretch Before You Snooze: Why it’s Important to Stretch Every Night before Bed

Stretching, it’s one of those things some people faithfully engage in and some don’t.

But first…

Do you stretch every single day? Or maybe at least once a week? Are you a stretcher? I have a better question, one that may be easier to answer. When was the last time you stretched?

If your answer is “no” to any of the questions stated above, and you can’t recall the last time you stretched, we need to have a serious talk. Let me start off by saying that I too do not stretch as often as I should and would like to, but since incorporating stretching into my daily nighttime routine I am finding it easier to do so.

Like for most of you, the day gets very busy for me, very quickly. I get lost in all the chaos and distractions, and by the time the night rolls around all I want to do is go to bed, rest up, and get in a good headspace to start the next day on the right foot. As a result of this I use to work out during the day and end my day literally just plopping into bed. It’s life. It’s happens. I’m not judging, I hope you’re not judging, because at the end of the day we’re only human.

So it’s all gravy here!

However, it’s no excuse to not take that extra five minutes of your day to show your body, especially your muscles, some TLC at least once during the day. It’s taken me years to understand that, and about 2 years of hardcore dedication to drill it through my thick skull. It is because of my discipline when it comes to stretching that I’m sharing my knowledge about the importance of stretching with you! [Read more…]

My Goals for the New Year

by

…and that’s a wrap!

As we get closer and closer to moving into the new year, I’ve been taking a lot of time to think about what I want my life to look like next year, and moving forward. This year hasn’t been the best year for me. In fact, if I’m being honest it’s probably been one of the worst years of my life. I’ll spare you the details but just know that there have been a lot of downs, and very few ups, and any ups that I did experience were immediately dominated by the many downs that were destined to soon follow.

I am a believer that everything happens for a reason and when it is meant to happen. So while 2018 wasn’t a good year for me at all I’m accepting of the fact that everything that I experienced this year, was meant to happen. It was all a part of a bigger plan for me, and most importantly it is these very experiences that are going to continue to help me become the best version of myself. [Read more…]

As we get ready to enter the new year it’s important to take a moment and reflect on this past year.

What were some of your goals? Did you achieve them all, or maybe at least half? What were some things that you wanted to improve on but didn’t get the chance to? Were you at your happiest? What were some of your best moments this past year? Some of your worst? What are you looking forward to the most in the new year?

These are just a couple of things that I like to reflect on as I get ready for the new year. It gives me a fresh perspective on how I want to improve my life in the new year, and inspires me to start off the new year with the intention of achieving goals that compliment my lifestyle more. As we get ready to enter the new year I highly encourage you to begin developing a fresh perspective on what you want to improve in your life. Starting fresh is all about starting with a clean slate. New goals, a new perspective on life, and another chance to live a happier and more fulfilled life.

This all starts with the kind of goals that you set out to achieve. If you’re looking for a little bit of guidance, maybe some inspiration, motivation, or encouragement on what kind of goals to make for the new year that will help you live a happier and more fulfilled life, then look no further! I’ve got a couple of great ideas for you below! [Read more…]

10 Super Simple Things to Be Thankful for This Thanksgiving

by

Thanksgiving is upon us once again. Now is the time of year when most families like to gather round the dinner table with one another and give thanks for all the things they have in their life. Big or small, it’s important to take note of all the amazing gifts that you have been given throughout this year. These gifts aren’t always materialistic, but most of them will be gifts that are hard to come by.

Gifts that only very specific people in your life will be able to give you. Either they will be altruistic or spiritualistic gifts that will move you in ways no object of desire will be able to. These types of gifts serve a very important meaning in our lives. They are the kinds of gifts that remind us of all the things that we have in life, and how these things remind us to forever be humble and kind.

Life is hard, at times very unpredictable, but always rewarding should we choose to embrace all the things that make life wonderful. Yes, we should be thankful to have for the gifts that are materialistic and help us live our lives in a very sufficient way. However, we should also be thankful for the gifts that not everybody is able to receive, or may have had at one point and time in their life and lost it for one reason or another.

We should be thankful for all that we have and have been given to make it this far in our lives, because not everybody has the same “luck”, support, will, or drive to see every hardship through. You may not be living your ideal life, or the life that you so desire (or maybe you are, and if so kudos to you!), but you are living a life that was meant specifically for you. That alone is more than enough reason to be thankful for everything that you have this Thanksgiving. [Read more…]
