It’s okay if you’ve been feeling unmotivated. Some things may have come easily to you before, and now you’re finding it difficult to get those same tasks done. Know that you aren’t alone. I too, right now, am feeling wildly unmotivated to write this blog post. I’ve been feeling incredibly unmotivated to get out of bed in the morning, or …
You’re Allowed to Ask for Help
2020 has been a year of loss. Whether it’s loss of experiences, social connection, school, work, or loved ones, we have all had something or someone taken from us. The universal grief we are all feeling has never happened on such a large scale. Everyone has experienced loss, everyone’s life has changed, some more so than others. Everyone expresses their …
Saying No is Self-Care
Saying no is a beautiful form of self-care. Too often we will say yes to opportunities or to people that are not good for us, out of fear that better things won’t come. We will say yes to opportunities when we already have too much on our plates. Or we will say yes to staying in relationships, that only continue …
Listen to Your Body
I’ve talked a lot about the importance of balance in a busy schedule and how necessary it is to take time for yourself. Often, though, I don’t follow my own advice, and I get so wrapped up in whatever I’m supposed to be doing for others that I forget what I’m supposed to be doing for myself. Eventually, neglecting your …
You Deserve to Take a Break
It’s okay to take a break. Taking breaks has always been really hard for me to do. Because it is hard for me to take breaks, it becomes hard for me to really and truly relax. This week, we went on our COVID style honeymoon. We were supposed to be traveling through Portugal and Barcelona, but 2020 has had other …
You Are Capable of More Than You Know
Push yourself out of the boundaries and limits you have kept yourself behind. It’s amazing how resilient and capable we truly are if we just believe in ourselves. I remember for so long I used to say that I wasn’t creative. So in turn, my mind often went blank at new ideas and I boxed myself out of trying or …
Body Positivity
This week for #WarriorWednesday, Caroline McKeown, host of the vlog DearCaroline, spoke about body positivity in the age of social media and comparison. She shared her experiences with body image issues as well as coping skills to help build confidence and self-worth. Remember, you are loved and you are beautiful!
The Number on the Scale Does Not Define You
About a month and a half ago, I got rid of my scale, and it was the best thing I’ve done for my mental and physical health in a long time. At the end of June, I moved into a new apartment, and I decided not to bring my scale with me. Before then, I would weigh myself at least …
You Already Have the Strengths Within You
It felt a little rusty to give a speech last week. I have given speeches here and there during COVID, but none consistently as I had been doing pre-COVID. I was a bit nervous and took a lot of time to prepare and make sure I was ready to go and knew what to say. After the presentation was over, …
Leave Your Burdens Behind
So we all know we’re living in an unprecedented time. I feel like a broken record every time I say it, but it’s true. The world has never been so universally impacted by anything before COVID, and we’re all learning how to cope with this new way of life. From mask mandates to planning for school and the future, nothing …
