Find Ways To Prioritize Yourself
We can feel a constant urge to give everything we have until there is nothing left. Your bosses at work expect more and more from you the better you do. There is this societal pressure to find a second source of income whether that be a side-hustle or owning your own business. Friends take turns on who needs a shoulder of support.
We are constantly finding some way to give to others, but are you making sure you save some of that compassion, patience, and support for yourself?
My message to you is simple and encouraging: Save some for yourself…Click to read more.
Don’t Forget To Be Kind To Yourself
Have you ever noticed that we rarely have a problem with being kind to others when they are going through something? You may have even helped comfort a stranger or someone you didn’t even like when they were going through a tough time. Why? Because it is hard to kick someone when they are down. Especially when we can relate to how the other person is feeling.
If we were half as kind and sympathetic to ourselves as we are towards others, there is no telling how much better off we would be. I have just a few tips below to keep in mind…Click to read more.

Self-Care Is A Necessity, Not A Luxury

It’s Time To Detox Your Phone!
A lot of people like to detox! It’s similar to spring cleaning in the sense that you are getting rid of everything you don’t need so you can start fresh.

Will Their Likes Really Satisfy You?
think it is safe to say that the best and worst parts of social media are almost 2 sides of the same coin. We love being able to share aspects of our life and being able to engage with others, but it does leave the door open for unwanted criticism as well.
My one piece of advice is straight and to the point: Do not become a hostage to the likes and reposts.
Of course, we like it when people…Click to read more.
Is Social Media Really That Bad Or Is It You?
Social media can have a bad reputation for all of the negativity it brings to light, but it can also be just as positive. For every bad comment, there are 10 good ones.

Take A Break & Be More Present!
In 2022, a phone is pretty much the equivalent of an arm or a leg. It is something we will always have on us, and we cannot function without it. No matter what’s going on or where we are, we will always have our phones with us. It’s to the point we can be completely focused on our phone and walk without bumping into a single thing. The only problem is, while being so attached to our phones, we are not as present or in the moment anymore.
Enjoy life instead of relying on your phone to capture moments for you to remember after the fact. Challenge yourself to be more present…Click to read more.
Don’t Let Social Media Be Your Source Of Stress
Social media can have a really bad reputation. It largely contributes to cancel culture, as well as the constant need for likes and validation which can lead to depression or self-esteem issues. BUT…social media can be just as positive.

You are more than the likes you receive
Most of us have several forms of social media that we use on a daily basis. Between Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Pinterest I’m sure 85% of us have at least 2 of them if not all 5; and those are just the main ones. Although these apps can be entertaining, they can be just as stressful if you allow them to be. Did you get enough likes, views, reposts, interactions, ect?!

Is The Grass Really Greener?
This world can be so competitive! The workforce is getting more and more competitive. Everyone is vying for who can get the most likes and the next most viral TikTok.

Why are we so quick to judge and slow to understand?
Can we all agree that one of the most frustrating feelings is being misunderstood? The saying “It’s a cold world” didn’t come from thin air, and the negative stigma around social media definitely doesn’t help that argument either. People can be so quick to judge others without knowing the full story, or the first thing about an individual. None of us like to feel judged, so how about we challenge ourselves to be a little more accepting and understanding of others…Click to read more.

A lot of us love the idea of saying ‘no’, but not necessarily the aftermath of what will happen if we do.

A Fresh Start For The New Year!
One of the best things about bringing in the new year, is that it signifies a new beginning! We get to wipe the slate clean and start fresh! With that being said…leave the past in the past! Every year comes with it’s fair share of highs and lows, but we don’t need to carry that with us into the following year. Challenge yourself to intentionally approach this year as if it were a blank slate.
Now, let’s be honest. It is easy for everyone to say that past is the past, but sometimes the “past” can feel like it’s right beside you! It is important to remember, in times like that, that our past is not the enemy. Use your past as a reference or a guide on what to do and what not to do…Click to read more.
