12 Ways to Own Valentine’s Day Like A Single Not Looking to Mingle!

by

Valentine’s Day is here! If you’re anything like me and you don’t have a Valentine, or you don’t have anything romantic planed, have no worries. First, I’ve never had a Valentine and I think I turned out pretty good! So, there isn’t some secret to achieving and maintaining a successful love life hidden on this day of love. Second, you don’t have to plan anything romantic, just spread the love and appreciation you have for those who mean the most to you.

After all this day is about all love! That doesn’t just mean the love you have for others, but also the love you have for yourself. I’m talking about self-love!

We have learned to associate this day with couples. It’s the day of the couple. For some singles this can be a bit annoying (trust me I know). For some couples this can be a bit overwhelming. Valentine’s Day is all about spreading and sharing the love. That comes in many different shades of red. It can be something as simple as baking cookies and sharing them with your co-workers, or treating your significant other to a special romantic dinner. Whatever this day means for you, just be sure to spread the love! [Read more…]

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…]

Self-Care Habits You Need to Adopt Right Now

by

Life is full of questions, choices, decisions, accomplishments, and many, many disappointments. However, those questions, decisions, accomplishments, and many, many, disappointments all pave the way for something bigger than us. Not only for something bigger than us, but for something greater and more meaningful to us.

I watched a Goalcast video over the weekend about how sometimes letting go of the thing you want the most, could be exactly what you need to do in order to achieve what it is you really need. The video talked about the beauty of unwillingly letting go of something that could have potentially opened many doors for this individual. The beauty of doing this was that by unwillingly letting go of that opportunity opened the many, and might I say the right doors, that she needed in order to move forward in her career.

The video was of actress Lisa Kudrow giving a speech about her journey in the entertainment industry. If you are not familiar with Lisa Kudrow she played Phoebe Buffay on the hit television sitcom Friends. In the video Lisa talked about how she got an opportunity to be a part of the show Frasier, which everyone knew was going to be a big hit, and sure enough it was. However, Lisa got fired from the show and basically found herself back in every actor’s worst nightmare. Fighting day and night to break into the entertainment industry and make a living doing the one thing that breathes life into you. [Read more…]

Blogilates Challenge: Part 4

Omg you guys!

Friday is the last day of March which also marks the last day of my goals for this month! As most of you know one of my biggest goals for this month was to participate in and complete the Blogilates 28-day rest challenge. Here’s a quick review of what the program is, how I progressed throughout the month, and my final update.

Blogilates is a health and fitness blog that focuses on health and fitness from an honest, fun, and safe perspective. The founder of Blogilates, Cassey Ho, is just the most inspirational fitness guru I have ever encountered (on the internet, I shy away from them in real life)! She has a really powerful ability to inspire and motivate people through her Pop Pilates workouts. [Read more…]

Blogilates Challenge: Part 3

by

Hi guys.

This week was a step forward for me. It wasn’t a big one as I was hoping, but at least it was a step forward. I’m learning to celebrate every little thing no matter how big or small it is. Which means I’m choosing to celebrate the little step forward on this journey that I was able to take.

I was able to commit to working out three days this week, despite feeling horrible. And let me tell you I felt horrible this week. There’s something going around and I think my body is trying to catch it. So, this past week I’ve just been feeling really disgusting, inside and out. Runny nose, upset stomach, the whole shebang. And I honestly just felt like hiding away in my room away from the whole until whatever is trying to take over my body went away.

And though I know it/s no excuse I’ve come to finally accept that it’s one of my greatest weaknesses. I don’t like to be in pain of any sort! So, when I’m in pain I literally don’t want to do anything or be bothered by anyone. I just want to lay in bed all day alone and isolated from the world, and wish the pain away. And this week that’s exactly what I did. I spent a lot of time in my bed. The three days I did work out, I had to force myself to get out of bed.

And if I’m besting honest the days I did crawl out of bed to workout, I felt awesome. Well maybe not awesome but I did feel better. So I tried to tick myself into the idea that if I continued to get up and workout I would begin to feel better. The first three days proved that to be true. But then Monday came. [Read more…]
