The feeling of overwhelm in society is very real and very intimidating. From social media to our hectic schedules, sometimes everything just feels too much. When those feelings hit, it’s tough to even move forward in our day to day lives, and even tougher to try and focus on any goals we have set for ourselves. I know for a fact that it’s much easier to lose ourselves in a game on our phones or binge a good television show on Netflix or Hulu. However, I think I’ve come up with a hack to get ...
The Anatomy of A Goal
Before I get down to the nitty-gritty of going after my dreams and crossing my goals off my list, I realized that it might be a good idea to break down the anatomy of a goal. This may seem obvious for some, but I think that everyone has a certain way of tackling their goals, dreams or tasks that work best for them. I know that I have a certain system that works for my 9-5 job as well as my household chores, but that maybe I need to think over a new approach for going after planning a huge trip ...

Writing goals: a writer’s journey into the unknown
Writing is one of those things that you probably either enjoy or cringe at the thought of. For some people, they can look at a blank screen or page and tense up at the thought of filling it with words, but for others, the clicking of keyboard keys or the scribbling of fountain pen to paper is a sound as enticing as a siren calling to a sailor. Letting words flow from them is as satisfying as taking a bite into the most glorious piece of chocolate cake, it must be done to satisfy their ...
The best growth always starts from within
There was a random post on Instagram a couple of weeks back that spoke to me. “May you have the courage to break the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you.” I believe it was from the account @divine_ethereal_energy, if you don’t follow them then head on over to Instagram to check them out. I’m a sucker for motivational quotes and this account has quite a few good ones in their archives. It’s a bit of a joke with my close family and friends that I am a self-help book junkie. I ...
Adventure is whatever you decide it to be
Don’t you just love the idea of adventure? The word itself makes everything seem more exciting! “Let’s take an adventure to the grocery store!” Or “Work was such an adventure today.” Just sticking that word into a sentence makes everything surrounding it more exciting. Does that mean we all need a little more adventure in our lives? I would guess yes, I know I need more adventure in my life. What is adventure? When I sat down to really think about this word, the first thing that came to mind ...
