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…

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…
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,…
‘Tis Better to Give than Receive
Am I a giver or a taker? I am definitely more of a giver than a taker. In most instances, I give entirely too much, rather than taking what I deserve. I think I’m most cases, we tend to find ourselves giving more than taking. We don’t want to appear selfish, so we give and…
…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…
Do You Stand Out, or Go With the Flow?
Do I speak up or go along with the crowd? To be honest, it depends on the situation. If it's something that I don't particularly agree with or something that I KNOW for a fact I will not be comfortable doing or being a part of, I simply won't do it or I will voice…
Do You Have Magical Thoughts?
If you're a fan of Insecure, then you were tuned into episode 2 this past Sunday night. In that episode, you see Molly begin to open up more to her therapist, and she starts to list all of the things that "should" be happening in her life. When Dr. Pine realizes this, she immediately clues…
Self-Care Sunday: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration
I’m going to keep it simple this week and take a page out of one of my favorite podcast’s books, The Friend Zone. For the wellness segment this week, Fran talked about how she began drinking 3 liters of water and raved about all the positive benefits just one extra liter of water gave her daily,…
