Self-Care Sunday: Making Lemonade

This may sound kind of crazy, but I want to touch on how making life’s lemons into lemonade can be a form of self-care; or at least how we need to start living life with this mentality. How many of us stress about how life isn’t perfect? *raises hand in shame* exactly, me too! As…

If I Knew Now, What I Knew Then….

What do I regret? How can I deal with this? I’ve actually been thinking about this question for a while now; I even skipped it and came back to it, and I still really don’t have an answer. I don’t really have anything I regret in life; and that’s really how I choose to live,…

Self-Care Sunday: Phone Fasting

Sometimes we spend more time in our phones than we think. I know I’ve procrastinated my way through hours just scrolling through social media looking at the latest news and/or gossip, or checking an email that has caused me to lose hours working on one task.

Good Friends or Bad Friends; Which One are You?

The question is; do you have the courage to step out and live freely in those…

…I Will Continue to Bloom

A journal prompt led me to write this post today, because my feelings were somewhat in line with it as well. There are many days when I feel like all hope is lost in my quest to maintain my optimism. I generally try to maintain a level of positivity about my day; especially with the…

Be Mindful of the Energy you Put Into How Others Think of You

Do I care about what others are thinking about me? The short answer is this: NO. When I was younger, I was very self-conscious and was very concerned with how others perceived me and what people thought of me. I have always tried to be a good person and a good friend to everyone I…

Learning to Forgive and Forget

Do I easily forgive or hold a grudge? I’ll be honest; depending on what it was that made me upset in the first place, I have the tendency to hold a grudge sometimes. I am definitely one who will forgive but never forget, and I’m not proud of it sometimes. I know that forgiveness is…
