“Become more aware of what’s really worth your energy.” A simple quote I happened upon on Pinterest got me really thinking about my own life, and what is actually worth my energy. 🌟 🌟 Sometimes we have to let go of an organization, a friend or a commitment in order to live a better life. Surround yourself with people and things that make you better and lift you up, not bring you down. Link in bio for my latest post on when it’s time to let go.
I haven’t written for this blog since October. For something that I love doing, that’s a long time. It’s been on my list for weeks to write new posts, but something else always seemed to come up. • • I finally realized that beating myself up over not being able to “do it all” is a waste of time. Life is about balance, and I’m still finding mine. If you feel like you’re sinking and are fighting so hard to just get your head above water, don’t panic. Breathe and realize that trying your hardest is good enough and you will get to where you want to be. • • Sometimes things we love have to be set aside for other things we love. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Remind yourself every day that life is more than one big to do list. Link in my bio for my newest post!
I don’t do spontaneity. I believe in well thought out choices and planning. But looking back I’ve noticed that some of my most special memories are a result of my spontaneous “yes.” If you’re like me and find it hard to just go with the flow sometimes, check out my latest post about learning how to say yes - and why it matters (link in bio)
My dad used to tell me that no dream is too big. When I was little I believed him, but as I got older I started to think he was crazy. There’s no way I can ever accomplish everything I dream up, right? . . . So wrong. Dreaming is just planning on a bigger scale. Want to write a book? Write for an hour everyday. Want to be a movie star? Start taking those acting classes. There are so many little things we can do each and every day to make our dreams a reality; we just have to be dedicated enough to get there. Read more about planning your dreams in my newest post!

I’m the person who doesn’t leave the house without her planner, checks her calendar before making plans with friends, and constantly has multiple to-do lists going. . . . It’s too easy for me to always be caught up in planning for the future instead of enjoying my present. I’ve found I’m missing out on enjoying memories with friends while they’re still happening. Check out my latest post on why I’m making a conscious effort to be in the present and enjoy the little things in life.
