Holiday To-Do & Wish List!

by

We’re almost there! With each passing day we are getting closer and closer to Christmas! I love that this time of year really promotes the idea of giving more than it does receiving, and that we should all embrace and spread love. That’s what makes Christmas such a fun and enjoyable holiday for me. Not necessarily the presents or the food (though those are some major gingerbread points for the holiday!).

Christmas is all about being selfless and spreading that positivity and love to others. I have complied two lists that I would like to see more of this holiday season in my personal life. The first list is a Holiday To-Do List, which is just a list of things to “do” before the holiday season is over. By “do” I mean more of a psychological and emotional doing than it really is a physical doing. The second list is a Holiday Wish List, which is a list of things that I am personally wishing for this holiday season, in the hopes of speaking them into existence in the new year. [Read more…]

Quit the Life You Live and Start Living the Life You Want

by

It’s funny how the littlest of things impact us in the most drastic ways. Like how a simple decision about whether or not to have turkey on Thanksgiving Day, can cause such a huge divide among family members. Why is that? Why is it that the littlest things have the tendency to hit us where it hurts the hardest? If anyone knows the answer to this, please share it with me, because I’d really like to know.

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately. Trying to once again find my place in this world. Some days I think have, other days I’m not so sure. Which is a normal part about being in your 20s I guess. You’re still trying to find your own path. The right one that was specifically designed for you to take. It just gets so exhausting and frustrating at times that all I want do is throw in the towel. Just stay put wherever I am in life and go with the flow. My happiness and fulfillment doesn’t matter, right? Wrong. That should always be the most important part and the biggest priority in your life. Your happiness and fulfillment.

So, what do we do when we aren’t happy or being fulfilled? How do we change that? Honestly, there’s no right or wrong answer to this, because this realization and emotional rollercoaster impacts everyone differently. This is where knowing yourself and being aware of your needs comes in hand the most. You have to be able to identify when things aren’t working out in your life. You have to be able to identify when you are not happy, or when you’re not being fulfilled. You have to be able to not only identify those things, but have the power and courage to be able to change it.

So here are some tips on how to find the courage to change the things in life that aren’t making you happy, or making you feel fulfilled. Or as I like to put it…

The Importance of Practicing Self-Care

by

So much has been going on in life lately that I just don’t know where to begin.

This past month has been one hell of a whirlwind and I was barley holding on. I don’t know how I did it, because I most certainly didn’t do a good job with practicing self-care, but I did. Somehow, I grabbed a hold of what little strength I was able to muster up inside me every day, and got through the struggle.

This past month has been hard on me for a couple of reasons. It has nothing to do with my personal life, but everything to do with my work life. I work in a very hard and very intense field, with a very, very, very hard population. Sometimes, if I’m not careful and on top of my own personal self-care, a lot of the negative energy, anxiety, stress, and worries that come from my work can slip into my personal life. This is exactly what happened.

I won’t bore you with the details (not that I can really share much with you anyways due to confidentiality), so I’ll just give it all to you in somewhat of a nutshell. I have been experiencing the following things this past month which has made life a huge struggle as of late: [Read more…]

The Beauty in Having the Power to Choose

by

So here’s the deal.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. At times we have mental and physicals breaks, and of course there are many moments of self-defeat. Regardless of all these curve balls that are thrown at us every now and then, we have to find the strength to keep going. That strength comes from a reason to keep fighting. That reason comes from a purpose, which is born from a deeply held desire.

I’m no stranger to the harder side of life, and I’m sure most people can say that. The idea of making the decision time and time again to continue to move forward, no matter what life throws at you, is such an empowering decision to make. It’s empowering because the easy thing to do would be to just give up. To not make the decision to move forward, to release yourself of any emotional turmoil, and take the easy way out. When we make the decision to move forward, to embrace that emotional turmoil head on, and to steer clear of the easy way out, we are finding strength in ourselves and empowering others to do the same.

That strength and empowerment is such a beautiful thing. [Read more…]

10 Ways To Be More Outgoing Part 2: An Introvert’s Perspective

by

Hello fellow introverts and extroverts!

Being an introvert can be very exhausting at times. It’s exhausting because not everyone understands our frame of thought, or can relate to our point of view on basically everything. This isn’t to say that it isn’t or can’t be exhausting to be an extrovert, because I’m sure it is and can be! However, as a fellow introvert myself, I know exactly why and how it can be exhausting.

Basically, functioning in a social environment can be very pressuring for introverts. We want to engage and be social and to “function” in a normal fashion in social settings, but we just have a harder time doing so. We become so overwhelmed very quickly and that often times pushes us to shut down fairly quickly. However, having and maintaining a healthy social life is a very vital part of surviving. So, I’m going to share with you all (introverts and extroverts) 5 more ways you can be more outgoing. From an introvert’s perspective of course! [Read more…]
