Celebrating Valentine’s Day Single

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you beautiful souls! This year I celebrate Valentine's Day single! It's probably been about 5 or 6 years since I've been single on Valentine's Day; this year is different though. This year, I'm happy being with myself. Sure, I do miss my ex-boyfriend of 4 years, but overall I'm …

Sometimes, I Miss Being Severely Underweight

I'll be honest...I've been struggling on this topic lately. Like many girls in high school, I struggled with how I perceived myself. Coupled with depression and anxiety, this was just something else to battle. I watched America's Next Top Model religiously and wanted to receive the same attention as those on the show. That's where …

Little Things You Can Do To Help Yourself

I know how easy it is to get stuck in the negative circular thinking and self-talk. When I say I'm resting, I'm often not resting in the slightest bit. I may not be doing anything physically demanding, but my brain seems to be going a million miles per hour, which can be absolutely exhausting. So...for …

Day 95/100

JULY 17 Try to not use "I" statements in conversation. Practice selflessness. So this can be taken a few different ways. When we argue with someone, for example a significant other, it is better to use "I" statements. "I" statements convey where a person stands on a topic, how they feel, etc. without "blaming" another. …

Day 92/100

JULY 12 What is something that you thought you couldn't live without? For a long time I relied on others for pretty much every decision in my life. I'm not going to lie, I still do this, but I'm getting better everyday as I grow up and fill my brain with more wisdom. Something, or …

Day 79/100

JUNE 21 What are 5 ways that someone could win your heart. Oooooooo, I like this one! Treat people with patience & respect You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat someone other than yourself. For example, I look at the way a person treats a waiter/waitress, if they're willing …

Day 67/100

JUNE 3 Cut out negative people. It's no secret that I have terrible social anxiety and rarely go out, therefore, I don't necessarily have "negative" people in my life. Someone who I was friends with for a very, very long time was one of the people I had to cut out for my mental health …

Day 59/100

MAY 1 Give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing. This isn't anything new, Lol. I always do nothing; I lack motivation most of the time. I didn't work that much today because I'm not sleeping that well after moving. I worked for a few hours and then went home and took a three hour nap. …

Day 54/100

APRIL 25 Prepare dinner for everyone in your house. Oh, you mean my cat and I? Well, she's pretty easy to cook for. Some kibble...maybe a couple of catnip treats for dessert. I could lie to you and say that I did cook a good meal for myself, but I'm not going to. With so …

Day 46/100

APRIL 13 Go the entire day without complaining. This is easier said than done. I often look at the negatives in things, usually without even realizing it. Work was pretty slow and empty and, since I work with my mom, it was a pretty good day. So, there was no complaining there. When I came …
