"Maybe it's not a fear of the unknown but a fear of the known coming to an end." -Dr. Jamie Zuckerman We feel comfortable in what we are used to. Without familiarity, we overthink and it's usually worst-case scenario thinking. When stages of our life end and lead to new beginnings, we are forced to change our situation and habits in order to adjust. The upcoming stages of our life aren't as scary as we make them out to be. In reality, after leaving our comfort zone, we create the most positive changes and allow self-reflection. The more uncomfortable we make ourselves, the more likely we are to reach our goals. Fear is inevitable even for the bravest people. We can...

How to organize your life.

I have recently come to the conclusion that stress is not stressful if you have a plan. Basically, you are always going to have stressful situations in life and deadlines, but if you are organized and don't wait for the last possible second to get work down, you avoid the worst part of stress. I have so much going on in my life right now from starting school again, class president duties, homework, student gov. responsibilities, online college classes, applying to colleges and scholarships, work...

"You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you." -Dan Millman We can’t choose the way we think, but that doesn’t mean we should feel guilty about this. We forget that as a person we can still communicate with ourselves and self-reflect on what we want from life. This gives us clarity in our thoughts. Every day you will have thousands of thoughts all jumbling around in your head. What matters most is which thoughts you give attention and power to. By redefining your perspective and opening your POV, you are able to take control of your thoughts. A great book called “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz changed my perspective on how...

I'm reading this book Atomic Habits by James Clear. Right now I'm learning how to change habits that we do unconsciously (aka without awareness). Clear said we must be aware of what we are doing in order to change it. Page 62 says, "If a habit remains mindless, you can't expect to improve it." Self-awareness is a big part of learning how to break ineffective or "bad" habits. Nothing is bad though because even a "bad" habit satisfies you in the moment( just not so much in the long run). For example, eating a big ice cream isn't the best if your goal is to stay healthy and lose weight, but in the moment it makes you happy. But...

"Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times. You should always be your biggest fan."@mostlyblessed insta This is your reminder to not give up on your goals because you feel like it's too late to start. You need to keep yourself motivated even if you have to force yourself at first. Make your own goals with set dates. Give yourself consequences if you don't reach them (make the goals reasonable and don't be too hard on yourself). Make sure you don't let missed goals and due dates pass over you because, without discipline, you lose consistency. Act as if your set goals are real-life deadlines. You can't rely on someone else...

Be happy for no reason. Don't rely on something or someone to give you happiness. You can love people unconditionally even if they don't do anything for you, so treat happiness like that; be happy because you choose to. Don't wait for an event or person to make you happy because it won't satisfy you for long. You'll always want more. Life is so much more enjoyable when you stop yourself from getting caught up in past drama. ...
