My October Affirmation List

For the month of October, roughly one month before my birthday, I took on a task of creating affirmations everyday that I use to motivate and keep myself positive. So far, I’ve made 24 affirmations (2 per morning) and it feels really good. I have an app that I use to take words from, and…

Focus on Living Your Best Life

Most of our lives are spent trying to determine who we are. We strive to live our best lives, no matter what obstacles are put in our way. What we end up running into is the constant battle between what is authentically the life we have been placed on earth to live, or the life…

Striving to be Better for Those Who Look up to Me

Q: Do I see myself as successful? I don’t really define success by the way others view my accomplishments; but more-so how I feel about what I have accomplished. At the beginning of this year, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish.  I made promises to myself about the type of woman…

A Loss for Words…

Self-Care Sunday: Yoga

This week’s highlight for self-care is something I’ve been adding into my fitness regimen lately; yoga! Lately, at least two-three times a week, I’ve committed to doing at least 20-30 minutes of yoga. A lot of people wonder what you can get out of yoga, or what the point of it is; well I’m here…
