How to heal fully and properly.
Let’s Begin
My journey is one that comes with many challenges and with each one it was a test of my character and of my strength. Everyone has a story and everyone can help someone in a different way. What makes your story better than mine? Nothing, because we all have a story and a journey that has to be told. For me, it’s dealing with mental illnesses, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, and many more. So, I say where to begin? Where do I start in telling my story and letting you follow my journey? I believe that in life we should always strive to be our best selves. I believe that in doing so, we can help people in different ways. For me, my story is one that I feel may be able to help someone. For all the pain that I’ve felt, I want to let it out. I want my journey to show who I am as a person and how far I’ve come. Yes, I still have a long way to go before my journey ends, but until then I’m not giving up on being the best me I can be.

It's Time to Kick Insecurity's Ass
There have been countless times during my life when I dressed up in an outfit I loved, but changed it into something else because it wasn't really "me" or it was too "out of my comfort zone." But a few weeks ago, I started to think, "Why am I letting insecurity keeping me from doing what I want? Why do I care so much?"

This Is How You Will Heal
And this is how you will heal... It will be a process. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but it’s the truth. These things take time. And no, “time doesn’t heal all wounds.” It’s what you do during that time that will determine the healing you experience.

Givan You: ME
When you think of the word ME, you can’t help but think of yourself right? Well, that’s exactly what this new program is geared towards, finding and loving yourself. Change starts with you. The majority of the time, we put things and people before ourselves, while also promoting self-love. Think for a second: when is the last time you did something that truly benefits you from every angle? For me, these soul benefits can range from buying a milkshake or a long walk in the park to saying no to a full-scheduled day. Every day it is important to make sure that you take your dose of self-love.

A Mind-Body Attraction
After I pulled the double shot of espresso the hairs on the top of my eyebrows left holes in my skin. My hairs were stiff needles. I shivered goosebumps from my toes to the back of my throat. Each hair felt as fine as a coarse fiber of metal. The sweat underneath my arms lit me hot to my fingers. I was hot as hell. The heat on my cheeks swooned my eyes to the back of my head, then I felt my head meet a wall. It sounded as a hammer misses a nail. Behind my eyes I saw colors. Some indigo, some forest, some ruby, and other colors as rich as any pit of tar. It was black. When I awoke I was most irritated by the amount of people around me—asking me if I was okay.

10 Things to Do to Improve Your Mood
1. Positive Affirmations I have a little book where I write all my affirmations down. At the beginning of 2018, I made a list of some things that I wanted to focus on and achieve: relationships, health, mental health, car, success… for each one of these topics, I made at least ten affirmations for each.

5 Ways to Address and Change Negative Self-Talk
Negative self-talk is that voice in your head that participates in creating negative “truths” about you that are often times completely false and pretty savage. The habit of listening to this voice can impact your confidence and play a role in the choices you make. Continuously feeding into this negative dialogue can have major consequences. Some of which are an increase in stress, insecurity, and the way we view others and the world. We tend to over-identify with this voice and give it credibility where it isn’t warranted. Here are some helpful ways to address negative self-talk and start reframing negative statements into positive thoughts.

My Visions in Meditation
I am bad at meditating. I could never get my mind to be still. Except recently I’ve been needing it to. And I’ve been feeling spiritually sensitive, so I tried again. I don’t know if this is normal, but I had vision accompanied with it. On two separate occasions:

Free Massages
I was sitting on the sofa and my back was SO tense. I was squeezing my shoulders and upper back with both hands. I could feel the pain and tense pressure moving within my muscles. The aches seemed to gravitate through my whole body. At the same time, I was throwing myself a pity party for being in such pain with no one around to massage it away. I was listening to some podcast on human connection. That particular podcast made me think of a quote from Martin Luther King that I had recently read, “Life’s most urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'” So I thought, surely I wasn’t the only woman with back pain. Surely other moms are writhing in pain and the closest she can get to a message is when her toddler jumps on her neck as if she’s a human trampoline.

My Story: Bullying
Through the years of elementary school, I thought I had it all; family, friends, a good education, chocolate? I felt like I had the world. There was nothing but me and my loved ones in a society with nothing but love and freedom. Then I stepped into middle school. It was a disaster. It was... terrifying.

The Best You
If you think this picture is beautiful, that's true, it is. But so are you. The Background Info I used to think low of myself, just like many others. Something along the line changed, that made me starve myself, doubt myself, bully myself all together. Perfection seemed real to me, but it's an illusion given by society of a way to be. A way to act, a way to look. As a young elementary school girl, kids bullied me almost all the time. Those kids called me names, things, called me ugly and judged the appearance of my body. The way to act was like you weren't an energetic, bubbly kid, but more like want to be Tumblr or Hollister girl. The way to look, according to those snobby, ignorant kids, was thin, petite, medium length or long hair. That's the most stupid thing to imagine, I know, especially when none of them or I were teens. Only age 11, starving myself, hurting myself, almost everyday was dreadful, that may sound ridiculous to others of the outside, but that's how it was.
