Creating New Habits
I cannot count the amount of times I have wanted to start a new habit or create a new schedule for myself and my family. When you have a big family, lots of animals and a full time job, life is ever changing. That is why our schedules, habits and priorities change as we grow and learn. With these changes also comes with new habits that need to be built. Before you go changing anything, you should give yourself time to define the meaning of this new habit you want to take on.
Balancing a Full-Time Job and a Growing Content Creation Side Hustle
There is something to be said about waking up everyday and not dreading your work day. I think there are too many people out there who hate their jobs, their boss and the work week. I am lucky enough to not have those thoughts anymore. I have found myself in a job that I love, a boss who is amazing and a work week that doesn't always feel like work. I worked really hard for this life. I made it a point to be in this position. I have had my fair share of shitty jobs, horrible
Turning 40
I have recently come to the conclusion that I need to grow up. I never quite realized how immature I am. I mean I knew, but never really sat with it until recently. I was at a get together with friends about a week ago and I was the youngest one there. I made a comment that mostly fell flat. There was some laughs but I think it was more laughter out of how appalling I was being rather then being funny. It was good though because it opened my eyes. It was not a profession sce
"Thriving in the Chaos: A Creative Mind’s Messy Home"
Do you ever look at someone else's life and think “How come I don’t live like that?”, “Why is her house always so clean?”, “Why don’t I have that decorative eye?” I think like that sometimes. Especially when I want to redecorate, which my husband will tell you is a lot. Its not even necessarily redecorating but more of moving the furniture around. I just cant seem to have the same layout for too long. It drives me crazy. But when I see another moms home, and I mean in real
Tools To Use For Consistency
As I wrap up June, I like to think about what I want out of this year. Every time a new month comes, I get that fresh burst of energy with the thought of starting over new and fresh. I make my list of goals and listen to motivational speakers. I get geared up and ready to go. I am consistent for maybe three really good days and then I falter. Anyone else? Of course I don’t mean to or even want to, but something about consistency and me don’t blend. This is when I need to loo
Have you ever had intrusive thoughts?
I decided to grab some lunch at Chipotle the other day since that is a rare occasion when I’m out alone. It was a warm and sunny day, so after I ordered my bowl, I found a small rot iron table outside for two, under an umbrella. This particular location was located in a bustling shopping plaza. One I had never been to before. There were cars and people everywhere, perfect for people-watching. As I sat there, my mind started to drift about work and things I needed to do that d
Building Boundaries
I never understood how much I struggled with boundaries until I realized in therapy that I didn’t have any. I am a people pleaser. I honestly never considered this before. I don’t feel like a people pleaser. But when you decipher my behavior, the evidence is clear. It was so disheartening for me to accept. I also thought I was doing things for myself and doing things I wanted. But in reality, I am always the first to be flexible or tell people, “I don’t care what we do.” But
What Do I really Want?
What do I really want? Why is it so hard for me to focus on just one thing? I really do feel like I want one thing to focus on but then my head will think of 40,000 more ideas to focus on instead. Maybe what I really need to do is focus on my schedule first. Implementing the things I enjoy and then eventually I will figure it out. Is that right? I feel like I want a blog. A place where I can write my thoughts and maybe someone will find it and then my experience will help th
