Note: This post was written over a span of several weeks, not because I was perfecting it, but because I either didn’t feel like writing or I got interrupted/distracted or sleepy. Hope it still makes sense! 🙂 Not gonna lie, life is pretty rough sometimes. Sometimes we might find ourselves in an extended slump during which we have no motivation…
Taking Action Isn’t Hard
I literally just copied and pasted my most recent newsletter email below, and switched a few words… The Un-Challenging Thing About Challenges: Apologies for the lack of emails and blog posts for the past few weeks, but I am still here and have had you guys on my mind. Taking action to produce content was the challenge though, but once…
Top Posts From My First Year of Blogging
This is overdue because my first blog post was published on May 4, 2017. Today is May 29, 2018. Time really flies. And reflecting on what has happened in only one year is incredible. Try it. Right now, think about what you were doing exactly one year ago, what your struggles were, where you were at in life – anything…
Losing My Job: A Blessing in Disguise
I just got off the phone with my job recruiter letting me know that I won’t be returning to work on Monday. Surprise! Granted, I was still a “temp,” so there wasn’t any firm commitment on either side yet. But regardless, I did not expect that to happen at all.. I also left my super cute mug that said “I…
This is Me Getting Out of My Comfort Zone (Vlog #5)
The video is pretty self explanatory. In brief, my last breakup turned out to be a huge blessing in disguise, because my new beginning gave me the push I needed to take risks and do things I never would have done before. I realized that after doing things outside my comfort zone, I feel happy. Probably a good way to…
Eminem Improved My Mental Health
Yes, that’s what I said. Eminem. Marshall Mathers. Slim Shady. A rapper who I never paid too much attention to in the past because well, my choice in music growing up was a bit different. 😉 Fast forward 10+ years (can’t believe Eminem’s been around so long) and my life gets a little messy in my twenties, then comes recovery…
How to Feel Motivated When You’re Feeling Down and Low Energy [PART 3 of 3]
If you haven’t read Part 1 and Part 2 yet, reading those first may help give some more context before reading Part 3. Or you can read this first, and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can always refer back to the first two parts of this mini “motivation series.” Part 1 stressed that motivation is not…
How to Feel Motivated When You’re Feeling Down and Low Energy [PART 2 of 3]
In Part 1Â I talked about the first “extreme” way of looking at the issue of lack of motivation. Extreme #1 is all the way on one side of the spectrum, basically saying that if you’re not motivated, suck it up and forget about your feelings. It’s not about the feeling of motivation. It’s about straight up self discipline. Just do…
How to Feel Motivated When You’re Feeling Down and Low Energy [PART 1 of 3]
A couple nights ago one of my best friends sent me a text suggesting/asking that I write something about how to feel motivated when you’re down and low energy – the title of this post. “My current life problem,” she added. My response to her: “I’m definitely not an expert at that one.” Yup, not an expert at all, so…
How to Save Both Time + Money by Investing in Yourself Now
Today I want to address something that I feel a lot of people, especially young people, do not see or realize. I really hope that reading this blog post will change or shift how you view time and money, and that this will save you from so much wasted time in the long run. It makes me so sad when…
