Week 1- Day 2 - Waking up Early

Good morning, everyone!


I hope you all had an amazing weekend.

Well, my week started off a little rocky. I got up 20 minutes late yesterday, and I feel like it threw off my whole day. I couldn’t do all the things I wanted to accomplish. 

I was able to wash my face, listen to my podcast for the day, and put on some Halloween nails, because who doesn’t love the spooky season right?

I couldn’t write my blog post for Monday, journal, or write in my Positive Journal.

But that’s okay! Mistakes happen, that is just part of growing as a person. I think it is important to note that every process is not a straight line, and that is okay. Life just doesn’t work that way.

With that being said, I did get up on time this morning! 

So far, my morning routine is finding a podcast while I lay in bed a bit longer, and once that is found, I’ll get up to wash my face. I think washing my face helps wake me up a bit. 

After that, I will try to tackle everything I wanted to do. So this morning, I wrote in both The Positive Journal, and The Me Journal, then I did my Candid scan (I’m straightening my teeth with aligners, I have to do scans every 10 days to move forward), and now I’m writing to you all!

As every day goes by, I’m starting to learn that each morning is going to be a bit different. There will be constants, like the podcast and washing my face, and variables, such as my Candid scan or doing my nails. 

I do feel that perhaps another half hour would be beneficial. Since I must start getting ready for work at 7am, I’m only getting an extra hour each morning to myself. 

Perhaps after the first week, or two, depending on how I feel, I will start waking up at 5:30am. 

What do you think?

Also, what are some new things that you can begin doing to improve your life? Let me know in the comments below. 

Here’s a photo of my spooky nails, because I know you want to see them!

Week 3 - Good Morning!

 Goooooood Morning! I'm going to come right out with it. I have not been doing great at getting up early. That's because over the weekend, I decided that what I wanted to do with my extra time, was cuddle with my fiancé. It was late mornings from there. BUT! Here I am, at 6:30am, writing to you. It's not all bad! I'm up earlier than usual. Positive thinking right? Had an amazing weekend, had a photoshoot with some women I didn't really know and we pretended we were in a Coven for Halloween, I'll attach some stuff for you to look at. 👀 And as always life is busy busy busy, but I'm choosing to look at it as "productive".  I always like ticking something off my list!  Next list to start working on, my wedding planning list. Who would have thought there was SO much to getting married! 😅 I hope you enjoyed the small snippet I shared! Comment and tell me what you thought!

Not Like The Movies

College is not what people think it is. In movies it's shown as one BIG party. Lots of hot people, drinking and parties. My experience in college has been somewhat like a party but nothing like college in movies. When I first moved into my dorm I expected my roommate to be my best friend and go everywhere with me. That is not the case, my roommate and I talk, but we don't go everywhere together. Honestly sometimes it can even be awkward when we are left in the same room together. My first night at the dorm I met the other girls that I share a suite with. They looked like the typical preppy girls, mean girls if I may. Turns out that they weren't as bad as I had originally thought they were. That night we went to a tye dye party. We were given a T-shirt and we could go dip our shirts in big buckets of dye. There was music blasting and people dancing in the bright colorful lights. "This is college" I thought. This is going to be so much fun. The dance was ...

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...
