We’ve all heard that social media will take a toll on our mental health, and I’m pretty sure you’ve felt the effects of that too. The trouble is that we don’t all know what it means to have a balanced social media habit. Social media is so deeply embedded in our everyday lives that not […]
Reasons you’re staying up too late and how to quit doing them
I’m going to take a wild guess here and presume you didn’t get as much sleep as you had wished for last night. If you have extraordinary willpower, you’re just like the rest of us who spend the night surfing the internet, watching so many episodes of Shows, and getting really salty with you when you […]
Key elements of a healthy mindset
When I was living on my college campus, I was fascinated with what I ate and how much I went to the gym. I’d watch anything that went through my mouth, and I’d feel bad if I didn’t go to the gym every day. Although my body was safe, my mind was a toxic environment, because […]
Habits you need for better self-care
Do you think that you’re terrible at self-care? If other people advise you to find time for self-care, are you curious how to make that work out? Self-care does not automatically come to all of us, particularly when our to-do lists are filled with demands from other people. You may not feel like you have the time or […]
How to deal with negative people
Does the bad energies of other people drag you down? It could be your colleagues, family members, or even friends whom you’ve grown apart from. When you’re surrounded with negativity, it’s easy to consume the energy and start feeling down. This will screw up with your mind and make you feel exhausted. That’s why it’s so […]
How to get things done when you have zero motivation
One of my personal pet peeves is when people complain they can’t ‘get’ the drive to do something. You know, there’s nothing you can find. Motivation is not something you can hide when you need it. When you blame this sense of inspiration for not taking action, you just use it as a justification for procrastination. It’s […]
The easiest way to stick to new habits
We’ve always heard that it takes 21 days to make a habit, but that’s not necessarily true, unfortunately. It might take longer than 60 days to adhere to new patterns that are pretty overwhelming to think about. Wouldn’t you even want to try that? Often I think of the patterns I’ve had in the past and […]
5 self-care habits for your daily routine
For the last few months, I’ve been working on being consistent with a few practices to take care of myself during quarantine. These are patterns that help me stop “doomscrolling,” get enough sleep, and keep my body going even though I wanted to be in bed all day. My problem with routines is to be loyal and […]
Feel like you’re not doing enough? Read this.
Do you still feel like you’re absolutely exhausted by things to do, but you’re somehow not doing enough? You might have thought you’d be further along in life than you are right now, or you might have this list in the back of your head of stuff that you *should* be doing. No matter what, whatever […]
Digital Detox: What I’ve learned from unplugging once a week
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine told me that she had found a book called24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week by Tiffany Shlain. The title fascinated me, and thankfully it was available to download from my computer, so I started it that night and finished reading it the next day. As I […]
