How Bullet Journaling Helped Me
A few weeks ago, I started bullet journaling. I first stumbled across the idea in one of my Facebook groups. It really intrigued me, but I didn't have the inclination to start journaling. After a rough patch, I decided to give it a try. I looked at various pictures of examples of bullet journals online and I decided to try a modified version. A true bullet journal can be very detailed and I didn't think I could commit to that on a daily basis. I saw some pictures of really cool ones with stencils and lots of colors. People also wrote goals for each month and inspirational quotes for each day. I also saw ones that looked like a day planner with special events written down.

The Importance of Signs
Too often we overlook the importance of signs. Which signs, you ask? The ones that present themselves to us from a higher source. Bear with me—this doesn't have to be a religious or spiritual post. I know that can be a touchy subject and not everyone necessarily "believes." If I were to really dive deep into the topic of "believing" in something, anything, I'd say the most important thing to believe in (besides God) is YOURSELF! Your higher source could be different than mine and I'm not here to negotiate that. There are so many things we can do to make life so complex. Things won't always make sense or line up in our favor. Most of the time we will feel like we're going against the current. That's because we find ourselves resisting things that have presented themselves for our highest good.

Let Them Be Uncomfortable
The less you worry about what other people think of you the better everything will become. Of course, it is natural to be self-conscious during those awkward teen years, but the less you care about what others think about you the happier you will be. Wear what you want, give your opinion, and express yourself however you want! Just be yourself! If everyone on Earth was the same, the world would be a very boring place. It is your job to bring something unique to the world. Just be whatever you want to be. Be smart, be confident, be kind, be sensitive, be a badass. Just be unforgivably yourself because you are an amazing person, and there will never be anyone else who is like you.

Making Ends Meet
I think we all long for the days in our childhood when we had no concept of what money was. We didn't understand how much food costs. We didn't understand how much hydro and heating and water cost. We didn't know that gas prices would one day be the bane of our existence.

Clarity
I'm grown now... All my life I believed being an adult was independence and the choice to be free. Being able to make your own decisions and living up to them because you made them whether they were good or bad. Now this is all true, but as I grow, I'm learning that I'm consistently growing and with that there's so much more to this thing we call the "adult life."

Are You Addressing it?
This year will be a year of growth. It will be a year of opportunity. It will be a year of constant Self-Care! I pray that you overcome whatever you are going through right now. I pray that you find the time to address your health and care for yourself this year. I pray you learn not to let others get to you. I also pray you learn to get enough rest and eat well. I pray that you do these things because self-care is important and it is how you will get through this year and through LIFE!

Chosen One
The Universe Will Choose You. Life itself has a way of showing you the dark and the light. Experiencing being the chosen one allows you to do two things 1. find your purpose and 2. reap the benefits. It might not sound like much, but this past year the universe has shown me what it is the be chosen, what it is to have a purpose. See, in life, from the moment we are brought into existence our parents are already setting the vision for us, until of course we create a vision of our own of what or who we want to be.

How I Managed to Quit Overthinking
Overthinking honestly ruins you. It creates problems that didn't even exist in the first place. Over thinkers can make any situation worse, no matter how exciting/depressing it was before. It makes you more stressed, unpleasant, and also makes you question everything that happens in your life. It takes you away from the present moment and makes you worry about the future.
