Chakra Meditation
What are Chakras? If you haven’t heard of chakras, they can be described as our energy organs. We have our physical organs like our heart and lungs, but we also have energetic organs. Even though they’re usually not shown on a poster in the doctor's office, they still deserve a check up! Whenever we’re having an off day, but nothing is really to blame, it could just be blocked energy in our chakras.

Dry January
January is usually a month of resolutions, goals, and monthly "challenges". Go one month vegan (veganuary), one month of an exercise every day, or one month of sobriety. Dry January started in the UK from an organization by the name Alcohol Change UK which aims at helping people reduce their alcohol intake both for health and social reasons. The challenge calls for participants to stop drinking for 31 days. Since the challenge started in the UK it's spread across the globe with more attention and look into the "sober-curious movement". Looking at one's relationship with alcohol and how much we consume on a weekly basis is something I think we should all at least try. As Alcohol Change puts it neatly, "Being alcohol-free for 31 days shows us that we don’t need alcohol to have fun, to relax, or to socialize. It helps us learn the skills we need to manage our drinking. That means that for the rest of the year we are better able to make decisions about when we drink and how much, so we can avoid slipping into drinking more than we really want to,"

Becoming The Best Version of Myself
I know I write about this a lot and I talk about this a lot, but it is something that I truly believe is super important for everyone to keep in mind, and that topic is self-love and learning how to become the best version of yourself. This is something that we are not taught in school, and I’m sure that many of you can relate to me when I say that my parents never taught me about these type of things either. Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents very much and I am super appreciative of everything they have always done for me to this day, but if it is something that I wish they would have taught me more about is self-love and learning how to become the best version of myself. It has been a long and rough road, but I have loved it up to this day. I still am learning how to better myself to this day, and I feel like we all can still learn something new about ourselves no matter how much we think we know ourselves. I want to talk to you all about my experience and how I felt throughout the entire time I decided to make this big change for me, and I also hope to make a big enough impact to one of my readers where they decide to do this type of change for themselves as well.

Grief
Grief is like feeling trapped in a different realm of life. The feeling like being in two bodies at once. Getting on day by day with a supermodel smile but a feeling like your sinking internally. Like life is going on but you feel at a standstill inside. A feeling of nothingness. Grief is being surrounded by people but feeling a complete emptiness. Grief is wanting to be checked up on but feeling the lump in your throat when asked how are you. The feeling of having no one to talk to. No one to understand what is is your going through. Grief is bottling up your emotions because you don't want to burden others. Grief is the simplest of triggers that punch a whole in your heart all over again, like hearing a name. It's the restlessness and sleepless nights entangled in your thoughts. Grief is the last moments you remember that replay in your head like never ending nightmares. Grief is the feeling of wanting to curl up and not do or care about anything. Grief is feeling okay one moment and being struck with an avalanche of emotions out of nowhere. Grief makes you stalked by anxiety. The heart racing, the tightness in the chest, the difficult swallow and gasp for air followed by worry and fear. Grief is dreading the birthdays and holidays to come with unbearable sadness that deepens as time gets closer. Grief is wishing to turn back time, rewind and pause. Grief is asking yourself why?, what could I have done? (Differently or better). Its all the what ifs or could ofs. It's the memories you wish you had and the relationship you had longed for. Grief is people thinking you've overcome but your giving it absolutely everything you got not to fold. Grief is the intensifying growing ache as the time passes because the reality hits you harder and harder. It's getting out the house to escape your mind. Its the washroom escapes and the breakdowns in the shower. Grief causes you to detach from loved ones with a feeling to want to be alone. Its begging in prayer for your pain to be soothed. Grief is the story you wish you could rewrite. There are many stages to Grief and everyone experiences it differently. Grief makes you realize that there is no shortcut through it and there is no time frame for it to end. It is something that hits you once you experience a loss. It's an uncontrollable journey that you attempt to conquer as each day comes holding onto hope that healing will mend your shattered heart. It's hope for understanding and acceptance. It's hope that the brightest days will arise again and you will reunite with happiness.

Being Good Enough
While growing up, I struggled with self-love. As a matter of fact, I knew nothing about self-love. Both of my self-esteem and confidence were incredibly low. They were so low, you would think that they were buried at least six feet under. I did not feel like a person who was worthy of anything. I did not feel like I was good enough. For a very long time, I felt like a submissive, peasant living in a world of dominant kings and queens. My experiences of being bullied in my childhood and toxic relationships drove me to searching for love elsewhere – when the real love starts from within all along.

Acceptance
We’re humans. Not slates. We can never start over. We can never be clean. The etchings of our past will forever mark our minds. We’ve even seen that on a global scale over the past year--countries still struggling with a collective history that paved the way for what’s unfolding now. But that doesn’t mean all is lost for us. My favorite thing about being alive is having a fresh opportunity each and every day to change the way I live. And what’s the first step to changing what you can control? Ironically, it is accepting what you cannot control. Simply accept life for what it is, and the rest will follow.
